THE PRESIDENT: I call upon the Defendant Konstantin von Neurath.
KONSTANTIN VON NEURATH (Defendant): Firm in the conviction that truth and justice will prevail before this High Tribunal over all hatred, slander, and misrepresentation, I believe that I should add only this one thing to the words of my defense counsel: my life was consecrated to truth and honor, to the maintenance of peace and the reconciliation of nations, to humanity and justice. I stand with a clear conscience, not only before myself, but before history and the German people.See also: Verdict Von Neurath
