Kirsten Sellars, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, has published Founding Nuremberg: Innovation and Orthodoxy at the 1945 London Conference in Historical Origins of International Criminal Law (M. Bergsmo, W. L. Cheah, and P. Yi, eds.; Torkel Opsahl Academic Publisher, 2014).

Their success was by no means assured: the Americans repeatedly threatened to walk out, the British fretted over German counter-charges, the French objected to crimes against peace, and the Soviets refused anything other than ad hoc charges. This was history in the making, and its making was an unedifying business.
