    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    During the Second World War, when Nazi officials were tried for crimes against humanity at Nuremberg, the most common statement was, “I was just following orders.” In light of this statement, the International Law Commission, in 1950, developed the Nuremberg Principles, stating that “I was just following orders” is not a complete defence if moral choices were possible.
