In the year 1946, the War Crimes Tribunal was formed in Nuremberg, and the War Crimes Trials were held in Tokyo.
These were the 11 Crimes against humanity under international law that were addressed:
-
Murder.
-
Extermination.
-
Enslavement. Deportation or forcible transfer of population.
-
Imprisonment.
-
Torture.
-
Sexual violence.
-
Persecution against an identifiable group.
-
Enforced disappearance of persons.
-
The crime of apartheid
-
Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Art. 7
On a lighter note in 1946, Mensa was created, AT&T announced the first car phones, and bikinis went on sale in Paris. The result: smart, beautiful women talking on cell phones that we see near the beach in current times. Car phones have essentially become defunct, replaced by mobile phones that can be used anywhere. Intelligence never goes out of style, nor have bikinis, as in this 1960s classic song by Brian Hyland:
Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
So in the locker, she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around her she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat, bundled up on the shore
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini So in the blanket, she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more
Now she’s afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she’s gonna do
Now she’s afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl’s turning blue
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
So in the water, she wanted to stay
From the locker to the blanket
From the blanket to the shore
From the shore to the water
Guess there isn’t any more
