Justice After War: Nuremberg Screening and Expert Panel on International Humanitarian Law
Description
When the laws of war are broken, who should be held accountable?
Join Australian Red Cross and the Tasmanian International Humanitarian Law Committee for a special screening and panel discussion of Nuremberg (2025), the powerful new historical drama starring Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon.
Set in the aftermath of World War II, Nuremberg tells the story of the landmark trials that forever changed international law, establishing the principle that individuals can be held accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity, regardless of their rank or position.
Before the film, hear from two of Tasmania's leading legal experts, Professor Tim McCormack and Julia Flint, as they explore the real-world events behind the story, the ethical challenges of pursuing justice after conflict, and how the legacy of Nuremberg continues to shape International Humanitarian Law today.
More than a film screening, this is an opportunity to examine one of history's most important legal reckonings and consider the enduring question of how humanity responds to the horrors of war.
Free event – bookings essential.
Whether you are interested in history, law, ethics, international affairs, or compelling storytelling, this promises to be a fascinating evening of film, discussion and reflection.
Presented by Australian Red Cross Tasmania's International Humanitarian Law Committee.
