I haven't watched the programme but nevertheless quite a lot of my generation already knew about the withdrawal of basic human rights and the torture inflicted on man by Hitler and the Japanese. Thus it was right to try to make sure it never happened again and if it did then there would be a European Court to deal with it. In the 1950s when it was the norm for the state to give the ultimate punishment of death to calculating murderers it wasn't envisaged by Churchill and others how the law would be used to protect villains from meeting their maker.

To do homework you need brains, something which you sadly lack, and keep proving every time you post

When you say it is quite interesting, that is because you didn't understand it.
You can prove anything with statistics and bar graphs.
