A direct message to ALL LAW enforcement officers
TAKE NOTE
"Nuremberg Principle IV states, “The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him”. “If any person, in furtherance of a state policy, orders the use of force to attack members of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, that person and everyone who takes part in the attack is responsible for the consequences, breaks international law and, if it results in the deaths of innocent people, commits the universal crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, aggression or conduct ancillary to such crimes”.
Nuremberg
Principle III states, "The fact
that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under
international law acted as Head of State or responsible government official does
not relieve him from responsibility under international law”.
The crimes associated with waging
aggressive war, laid down in the Nuremberg
Principles and the Rome
Statute of the International Criminal Court, are clear.
“If any person, in furtherance of a
state policy, orders the use of force to attack members of a national, ethnic,
racial or religious group, that person and everyone who takes part in the
attack is responsible for the consequences, breaks international law and, if it
results in the deaths of innocent people, commits the universal crimes of
genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, aggression or conduct ancillary
to such crimes”.
Without
law enforcement there is no law.
