Last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor of Nazis dies at 103

Ben Ferencz, the last surviving prosecutor from the post-World War Two Nuremberg trials, has died at the age of 103. Ferencz secured the convictions of 22 Nazi officers for war crimes and crimes against humanity and later advocated for the establishment of an international court to prosecute war crimes. He was a professor of international law and campaigned for an international court that could prosecute the leaders of governments found to have committed war crimes. In 2002, the International Criminal Court was set up in The Hague, Netherlands, although its effectiveness has been limited by the refusal of several major countries, including the US, to take part.
