I particularly found the discussion of the implications of the Nuremberg principles interesting. I am well aware of the the Nuremberg Code in it's relation to human-subjects protection in my day job in health services research. I know that the Nuremberg Code in this contexts contains many inconsistencies that were later better defined by the Belmont Report. <em>This report defines the overriding principles of respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Of course some of these principles still at times conflict (for instance respect for persons and justice). </em> In this light, my question then would be whether there has been any attempt to update or amend the Nuremberg Principles in relation to war crimes in recent years? If there hasn't been any progress here, do you think there is a need for these principles to be updated and better defined? Mark, very well laid out piece.
