When a person shows unethical behavior; it means he is going against the rules or principles of that organization which will be counted as illegal. therefore, unethical behavior is always counted as illegal conducts.


What is the difference between unethical and unlawful behavior?

Unethical behavior is malum per se, it is wrong because the normal members of society recognize it is as being morally wrong. Unlawful behavior, malum prohibitum, is wrong because those that make the laws say it is wrong. There is nothing morally wrong with speeding, but the law makes it illegal.

The word illegal means the same as unlawful. Along with this, unjust works. If you're looking for moral based, unethical.
