Talk:May 1915 Triple Entente declaration

Legacy
This is a good article, but it could use a bit of expansion. The declaration promised trials for those Ottoman officials responsible for "crimes against humanity", which was the very first time ever that such a promise had been made. There was actually an attempt to hold the promised war crimes trials with the British arresting a number of Ottoman officials in 1918-1919 with the intention of putting them on trial for their actions during the Armenian genocide. As is usually the case, politics were more important than justice, and the trials were never held with the accused being all released by 1923. However, this did create a precedent, and the Anglo-French-Polish declaration issued in April 1940 promising to bring the leaders of Nazi Germany to trial was based on this declaration. And in turn, the Moscow declarations of 1943 were inspired by the 1940 London declaration. This article could use a bit of expansion with the legacy of the 1915 declaration. --A.S.

 * Agree, but I don't necessarily have the sources on hand to connect these later events to the 1915 declaration. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  08:07, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I made a start, through I must confess that to having a lack of sources at present. If you can get your hands on it, A Shameful Act by Taner Akcam does talk a lot on the failed attempt to try the leaders of the Committee for Union and Progress after 1918. I agree one should not get off-topic, but at any rate, it is relevant to the subject. By the way, great work in getting this article started. Best wishes and cheers! --A.S.
