The twentieth century was a turbulent and violent era, marked by a significant challenge: ensuring that not all international crimes remained unpunished. Despite the gravity of these crimes, a mere minority of perpetrators ever faced trial. To overcome this challenge, a combination of legal efforts and courage, determination, and inventiveness was necessary.

This documentary takes viewers on a journey through time, exploring the trials of international crime perpetrators from various periods. It begins with the trials of the 1920s, highlighting the limited legal framework and the challenges faced by those seeking justice. It then moves to the Yugoslavia tribunal in the 2000s, which marked a significant milestone in the fight against impunity. The documentary showcases the power of international law in bringing perpetrators to account, even in the face of political complexities and resistance.

From Belgium in 1914 to Ukraine in 1943 and finally to Stuttgart and Düsseldorf in 1975, the documentary showcases the global efforts to combat international crimes. It highlights the role of legal professionals, activists, and ordinary citizens in pursuing justice and holding individuals accountable for their actions.

Defeating Impunity serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of international cooperation and the pursuit of justice. It sheds light on the challenges faced by countries in investigating and prosecuting international crimes, as well as the importance of building strong legal frameworks and institutions to ensure that justice is served.

In conclusion, Defeating Impunity is a compelling documentary that explores the challenges and successes of combating international crime. It highlights the importance of legal efforts, courage, determination, and inventiveness in realizing justice. The documentary serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against impunity and the need for global cooperation in ensuring that all crimes are punished and that the victims receive the justice they deserve.
