In Legacy Section of Nuremberg Trials page

The Tribunal is celebrated for establishing that "[c]rimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced. These trials serve as a painful reminder that governments can legalize hate and such laws should be in place to prevent another tragic event to happen in the future."[63] The creation of the IMT was followed by trials of lesser Nazi officials and the trials of Nazi doctors, who performed experiments on people in prison camps. It served as the model for the International Military Tribunal for the Far East which tried Japanese officials for crimes against peace and against humanity. It also served as the model[citation needed] for the Eichmann trial and for present-day courts at The Hague, for trying crimes committed during the Balkan wars of the early 1990s, and at Arusha, for trying the people responsible for the genocide in Rwanda.

The Nuremberg Trials should set as a predecessor to future hate crimes committed on a mass scale all done in a system where these crimes were legal and accepted in society. Prevention to crimes against all of humanity, the Nuremberg Trials led to a series of development of laws on a global scale.
