“Just following orders” (the Nuremberg Defense) is not a valid legal defense for committing war crimes, atrocities, or illegal acts. #NurembergPrinciples #Accountability

"I was following orders" is no defence. The man rescued is a war criminal and deserves to be a POW.
US/Israeli war crimes will catch up with them.

Someone tell Lady Dog Killer that "I was just following orders" didn't work at the first Nuremberg trials either.

#NurembergPrinciples apply to EVERY person who colluded, lied for Trump, funded, followed illegal orders, covered up crimes, profited from, and supported his Fascism!

For anyone still confused, maybe google what the town of Nürnberg is best known for.

Thankful to live in a country where unlawful orders don’t magically become lawful just because the leader said so. At least… that’s how it’s still supposed to work.

Number Four of the #NurembergPrinciples states that "just following orders" is no excuse when committing crimes against international law.

These are principles created by the Americans 80 years ago.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurembe...
The Nuremberg principles are a set of guidelines for determining what constitutes a war crime. The document was created by the International Law Commission of the United Nations to codify the legal principles underlying the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi party members following World War II. Principle IV The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him. This principle could be paraphrased as follows: "It is not an acceptable excuse to say 'I was just following my superior's orders'". Previous to the time of the Nuremberg Trials, this excuse was known in common parlance as "superior orders". After the prominent, high-profile event of the Nuremberg Trials, that excuse is now referred to by many as the "Nuremberg Defense". In recent times, a third term, "lawful orders" has become common parlance for some people. All three terms are in use today, and they all have slightly different nuances of meaning, depending on the context in which they are used. Nuremberg Principle IV is legally supported by the jurisprudence found in certain articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which deal indirectly with conscientious objection. It is also supported by the principles found in paragraph 171 of the Handbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status which was issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Nürnbergin oikeustalon tiloissa on esillä Nürnbergin periaatteet, joiden luulisi olevan itsestäänselvyyksiä.

Historian ironiaa, että juuri ne kansat joiden toimesta ja suojaksi nämä periaatteet laadittiin tasan 80v sitten, ovat tänä päivänä toimimassa aktiivisesti niitä vastaan

U don’t get to harm ur own people & hide behind “just following orders.”
That defense died with the Nazis.

ICE, police, marines:
your conscience is your last line of defense.
Refuse.
Resist.
Protect what’s human in u.
Or be judged like those before u.

#BindingCitizensAssemblies need transparency & election mandates. They might well bring #NurembergPrinciples for many people found working against #CEE & thinking themselves "innocent" in present law. Guilty with #UniversalJurisdiction ?
