The Legal Principles from the Nuremberg Trials are:

  • Anyone who commits international crime is guilty.
  • Guilty under international standards technically means there are no punishments, but punishments will be given out.
  • Being at a high position doesn't relieve someone from punishment.
  • Provided a moral choice, someone is guilty if a higher authority ordered the specific crime to be committed.
    • IE: Hitler made Nazi officers kill. The Nazi officer is still guilty.
