Which important principle about state orders did the Nuremberg trials clarify?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Individual accountability remains in serious crimes

The direct answer is D: individual accountability remains in serious crimes. The Nuremberg trials established an important principle of international justice: a person cannot escape responsibility simply by saying that a superior ordered the act. Step by step: an order may come from the state; the order may still require murder, persecution or another grave crime; the individual who knowingly participates has moral and legal responsibility; serious crimes must therefore be judged personally. A is wrong because state authority cannot turn every crime into a lawful act. B is wrong because state orders can be examined by courts and historians. C is wrong because victims are not responsible for the crimes committed against them. D correctly separates obedience from personal responsibility. Memory cue: “An order is not a licence for a crime.”
