Nuremberg Defense

The "Nuremberg Defense" is a legal and ethical concept referring to the plea whereby individuals justify their participation in unlawful actions by claiming mere obedience to superior orders, distinguished by its historical emergence from the post-World War II Nuremberg Trials, which formally rejected such deference as a complete exculpatory defense in international criminal law.
