At the meetings in Tehran (1943), Yalta (1945) and Potsdam (1945), the three major wartime powers USA, USSR and Great Britain agreed on the format to punish those responsible for war-crimes during World War II. France was also awarded a place on the tribunal. The legal basis for the trial was established by the 'London Charter', issued on August 8, 1945, which restricted the trial to "punishment of the major war criminals of the European Axis countries". Thus, accusations of Allied war crimes could not be tried. Some 200 German war cr ...

At championships and Olympics events, the distance for senior men is usually 1000 metres, hence the event's alternative name: the 'Kilo', short for kilometre. As such, the event is popular with riders who specialise in the sprint. Women compete over 500 metres. These sprint time trials are under consideration for elimination for the 2008 Olympics though, to make way for two BMX cycling events. Riders who have performed best on previous occasions are seeded and ride last (giving the potential advantag ...

By presenting his case there, he hoped to clear his name of any suspicion of heresy, and to persuade the Church authorities not to suppress heliocentric ideas. In this he was acting against the advice of friends and allies, including Piero Guicciardini, the Tusc ...
