The depth of the humanitarian issues is presented by the Nuremberg trial judge panel. The judgment did not consider the moral and ethical issues to the world as a whole and to the entire legal world. Since any large trial, of a group of people is considered as a single set, the panel and the trial proceeding setup was exceedingly complex. The issues that are presented in the trial were also complicated and complex. In this regard, the decisions in the case are affected with this comparability. This has made the modern study of this case to be divided into several sections. This section enhances the learner and interpreters of the case to handle this complexity with an impression of coherency. In the first section, the Nuremberg trial carefully analyses the crimes that are perpetrated by the accused.
