 The historical background of the act concerns the horrible consequences for the Jewish population after the German invasions in June  By 1948 British efforts to prosecute Nazi war criminals had all but ceased.

 The core of the act establishes jurisdiction in respect of offences of murder, manslaughter or culpable homicide committed in violation of the laws and customs of war committed between 1 st September 1939 and June 5 th  The jurisdiction can be exercised on a man irrespective of his nationality, provided that on 8 th march 1990 or subsequently he has became a British citizen or resided in the uk.

 Following the publication of the report the government said that it would legislate in accordance with the main recommendations.  In the notice debate on 4 th December 1989 the opinion in the Lords was more than 2 to 1 against. On June 4 th 1990 the house of lords voted against the bill in a similar majority.

 Only one person has been convicted under the act.  Anthony Sawoniuk was sentenced, in the Old Bailey, to life in prison.  He died while in prison in  He was a Nazi collaborator for the town of Demachaven in pre-war Poland.  He joined the SS until November 1944 until joining the polish II corps in the 8 th army.

 After the war he settled in Britain and became a British citizen.  He was tried in 1999 and found guilty for two counts of murder. He was believed to be involved in the brutal murders of 15 Jews in his hometown.  Other charges against him where dropped due to problems with evidence.

 Sawoniuk’s trail was the first time a British Court has passed judgement on a matter that took place overseas.  Sawoniuk was described after his death as “a vile Nazi who will not be missed”
