[Meme] But the Boss Said...
EPO staff does not wish to keep doing illegal things at the orders of corrupt management. Will António Campinos face any consequences for his actions or instead be rewarded with another 5 years in Office?
On the Nuremberg defence:
The judges at Nuremberg rejected the “following orders” defense. They said that when an individual follows an order that is illegal under international law, he is responsible for that choice, except under certain circumstances. For instance, if the individual could prove that he was ignorant of the fact that the order was illegal, he would not be responsible. But the judges at Nuremberg maintained that it would have been impossible for members of Einsatzgruppen not to know that murdering civilians was both illegal and immoral. Another exception, the judges said, would be if a person obeyed an illegal order to avoid physical harm, torture, or death.
