What should be the procedures and logistics of the International Military Tribunal?
There was no precedent for an international trial on a scale like those planned for Nuremburg. What could be done to guarantee a fair trial for the perpetrators of such atrocious crimes? A number of major issues had to be decided before the tribunal could get under way. The two most important were the integration of various legal systems and methods for communication in five languages simultaneously. Of primary importance were the legal rules governing the International Military Tribunal. Each of the four Allied powers (France, Great Britain, Soviet Union, and United States) had distinct systems of law and rules of evidence. The representatives at the London conference had to merge the different systems-a process that required compromise and diplomacy all along the way. An example of the legal issues to resolve was finding ways for the Anglo-American system of law-based on English common law and followed in the British colonies and the United States-to work with the continental system
