Although the motivation among the leadership of the Allied powers to create the Nuremburg process was largely political, there was a moral consciousness at work, a consciousness that became stronger in later decades. Consequently, Nuremburg posed a problem on the one hand there was a sense of what can be termed the 'objective wrongness' of what the Nazi regime had done that manifested itself as revulsion at the acts of those on trial. On the other hand, the trials seemed to depend on the creation of post hoc, or retroactive, laws. Retroactive laws violate the principle that there can be no crime without an antecedent law: if you do something that is legal at the time of doing it, then you should not be later prosecuted for that act. If retroactive laws are created then power is arbitrary. Other 'troubling' aspects of Nuremburg included the rejection of both the tu quoque and compulsion defences. There has been considerable debate among legal and political theorists about the retroactivity problem; some theorists argue that German law was suspended at a point during the 1930s, and therefore the laws of Weimar Germany (1918 33) should form part of the basis of the indictment. Other theorists appeal to conventions, such as the prohibition on murder, which all right -thinking human beings, and all properly functioning legal systems, recognise as valid.
