80 years after the Nuremberg trial, the prosecution of Nazi perpetrators has effectively come to an end. Examining the last Nazi trials in Germany from a multidisciplinary perspective, the present volume addresses key aspects of the judicial phenomenon of Spätverfolgung ('late prosecution'), links the issue to the international discourse on transitional justice, and contributes to current debates in academia and society at large.
Moritz Vormbaum is Professor of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and International Criminal Law at the University of Münster (Germany). Before assuming his current position, he was Senior Researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as well as a coordinator and lecturer at the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice.
