In this important and worthy book, Ellis Washington succinctly and
convincingly proposes that the Framers of the United Nations and
its international legal arm, the Nuremberg Tribunal, utilized a
defective legal philosophy and jurisprudence sixty years ago at the
advent of the Nuremberg Trials called Positive law-the separation
of law and morals. Adherence to this ineffective legal philosophy
has virtually destroyed subsequent international war crimes cases
that in modern times have devolved into symbolic show and farcical
trials at The Hague. Washington asserts a case that involves a more
substantive and historically relevant legal philosophy and
jurisprudence that the Framers of the U.N. Nuremberg Tribunal ought
to have relied on in judging the twenty-two Nazi defendants-Natural
law-the unity of law and morality.
