Nuremberg 75th Anniversary

Almost 75 years ago, the city of Nuremberg in Germany was the place of a historic declaration. When the judges of the military tribunal against leading medical officers in the Nazi administration passed their verdict, they issued what became known as the Nuremberg Code.

This year, on August 20, a line-up of international speakers traveled to Nuremberg to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Nuremberg Code, including the World Council for Health’s Dr. Tess Lawrie and Shabnam Palesa Mohamed.
