The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine brings the principles of Nuremberg to the forefront of discussions on justice, raising questions about the feasibility of Nuremberg-style accountability. The book touches upon the abduction of Ukrainian children and the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage.
