A good point for illustrating this is "plotting for a war of aggression", many German military personal were sued on these grounds. I do not have to mention recent events in this regard.
Another problem is that the US was overly happy to play judge, but when it came to the international court of justice, the first attempt to institutionalize these mechanics on a global level, particularly inspired by the Nuremberg trials, many US based newspapers even threatened with invasion should one American ever be trialled there. That did not exactly give the impression those medias probably hoped for.

So from here the Nuremberg trials stand out as exemplary how to deal with criminal governments in general, however this view is not extended to the benefit of the nations that conducted this trial in terms of moral high ground.

You seem to be well oriented, and you should have credit for.
