"The "most wanted" deck of cards, developed by an acquaintance of mine, take the precedent of Nuremburg in searching out the major facilitators and perpetrators of the Baathist oppression."

After reading the above a few times I translated it to the following:
The "most wanted" deck of cards, developed by an acquaintance of mine, takes precedence over Nuremburg in searching out the major facilitators and perpetrators of the Baathist oppression.

Which still doesn't mean much other than that the author suffers from a serious case of hubris.

Nurenburg, as a concept,(strongly opposed by Churchill) was a statement to all who commit or want to commit genocide. It was necessary because unheard of crimes of genocide were committed during WWII. As we all know it hasn't been 100% effective in eliminating genocidal attacks.

Perhaps the US and Europe could lead the world towards strengthening the international court in order that it could deal with this kind of criminal.
