"The London Conference, which ended on August 8, 1945, with the signing of the London Four-Power Agreement1 with annexed statute, was a crucial step in the planning of the Nuremberg IMT trial of major German war criminals.

Northern Brazil is dominated by the densely forested basin of the Amazon River and its many tributaries, which include the Tapajó and Xingu rivers, …
