    Did he get convicted or does the ICC or ICJ need to do a court process? If any state can just allege someone being a criminal to exhume and extract dna without judicial oversight we open a door quite wide for abuse.

    Edit: “Everyone knows he did it so no court is necessary” havent given humanity perfect scores in human rights before

      Also while the UN/ICJ/ICC did not commit him due to the suicide, the UN War Crimes Commission did indict him as a war criminal, which, in civilised countries, does mean the withdrawal of certain rights, including the right to privacy, therefore the DNA is still processable.

      I do see your point, however the fact that Hitler gave the direct orders (often well documented) that were later deemed criminal, I’d presume that would be enough to assume criminal status.

      Also, yknow, defending Hitler on technicalities is like defending a paedo on the distinction between paedophilia, hebephilia and ephebophilia - legally speaking you’d be correct, but in reality it just makes you sound like you’re supporting the person in their acts…

        Lol, yeah I really should choose my battles of technicalities better. According to another user he seems to have been properly and lawfully declared a war criminal so my point was moot :)

        Edit: oh, that user was you!
