In a review written on the 50th anniversary of the Brandt verdict, Katz writes that "a careful reading of the judgment suggests that" the authors wrote the Kodex "for the practice of human experimentation whenever it is being conducted." ==Background== The origin of the Kodex began in pre–World War II German politics, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s.

By 1942, the Nazi party included more than 38,000 German physicians, who helped carry out medical programs such as the Sterilization Law. After World War II, a series of trials were held to hold members of the Nazi party responsible for a multitude of war crimes.
The trials were approved by President Harry Truman on May 2, 1945 and were led by the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union.
They began on November 20, 1945 in Nuremberg, Germany, in what became known as the Nuremberg trials.
Alexander submitted a memorandum to the United States Counsel for War Crimes outlining six points for legitimate medical research. An early version of the Kodex known as the Memorandum, which stated explicit voluntary consent from patients are required for human experimentation, was drafted on August 9, 1947.
On August 20, 1947, the judges delivered their verdict against Karl Brandt and 22 others.

The Covenant has 173 states parties as of September 2019. In his 2014 review, Gaw observes that the Kodex "not only entered the legal landscape, but also became the prototype for all future codes of ethical practice across the globe." The idea of free or informed consent also served as the basis for International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects proposed by the World Health Organization.
