The last surviving prosecutor from the post-World War Two Nuremberg trials has died aged 103.
Ednews informs that Ben Ferencz was just 27 when he secured the convictions of 22 Nazi officers for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He later advocated for the establishment of an international court to prosecute war crimes, a goal realised in 2002.
Ferencz died peacefully in his sleep on Friday evening at an assisted living facility in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Confirming his death, the US Holocaust Museum said the world had lost "a leader in the quest for justice for victims of genocide".
