The real complaining party at the bar
in this courtroom...
1:20:05
is civilization.
1:20:09
But the tribunal does say...
1:20:12
that the men in the dock
are responsible for their actions.
1:20:19
Men who sat in black robes...
1:20:23
in judgment on other men.
1:20:28
Men who took part...
1:20:32
in the enactment of laws and decrees...
1:20:38
the purpose of which
was the extermination of human beings.
1:20:42
Men who, in executive positions...
1:20:45
actively participated
in the enforcement of these laws...
1:20:50
illegal even under German law.
1:20:59
The principle...
1:21:01
of criminal law in every civilized society...
1:21:06
has this in common:
1:21:10
Any person who sways another
to commit murder...
1:21:16
any person who furnishes...
1:21:19
the lethal weapon
for the purpose of the crime...
1:21:23
any person
who is an accessory to the crime...
1:21:29
is guilty.
1:21:34
Herr Rolfe...
1:21:38
further asserts that the defendant Janning...
1:21:42
was an extraordinary jurist...
1:21:45
and acted in what he thought
was the best interest of his country.
1:21:48
There is truth in this also.
1:21:52
Janning, to be sure...
1:21:55
is a tragic figure.
1:21:57
We believe he loathed the evil he did.
