Saif Gaddafi trial

Saif Gaddafi trial: "The Libyan rebels who killed Muammar Gaddafi were widely condemned but their action was part of a respectable historical tradition. Towards the end of the Second World War, Winston Churchill was already making it clear that he was against the idea of trials for the leading Nazis. He would have preferred to dispose of Hermann Goering and others through summary execution. The Roosevelt administration was not against this idea and Stalin, too, at the 1943 Tehran Conference, spoke of killing 50,000 leading Nazis. At this time it was by no means inevitable that the Nuremberg war crime trials would take place."
