Talu ai ana su'esu'ega auiliili ma lona agava'a fa'a-loia sa taunu'u ai lea fa'amasinoga i le fa'ai'uga e aloa'ia ai o mea nei o taua e osofa'i ai e le isi atunu'u se isi atunu'u po o ni tagata se to'atele, o se matua solitulafono lava lea. Talu mai le tausaga 1945 sa galue punoua'i lenei ali'i ina ia fa'atinoina le fa'aiuga sa faia i Nuremberg ma lagolagoina e le Fono a Malo Aufa'atasi (United Nations General Aseembly).
