A conflict arises in this area because of the appzrent conflict of two important policies, each of which are believed to bz beneficial within the community of mankind. One policy is that of discipline in the military forces; the other is that of adherence by members of the military to principles of international law. One would appeaf to require that subordinates always obey orders of their superiors; the f other would seem to denand that a subordinate willfully disobey such an order if performance of the order would constitute the commission of what would be a crime in national or international law. The two extreme, opposite theories are described1 as follows: 1. The doctrine of respondeat superior (so termed with emphasis on the lack of responsibility on the part of .- the subordinate rather than the responsibility of the 'superior), or, a.s termed by the French, I1obeissance ~-a_s_s_i-ve, according to which the soldier comiiitting an offense in 05edience to supsrior orders is relieved of responsibility automatically, without any qualification or condition. This view nay seem to fit in well with the needs of discipline in the A.rned Forces. Any armed force, by its very nature, requires discipline--that each su.bordinate obey the orders of his superiors. Such a principle is to be used, ultimately9 to conduct men to battle, to lead theln under fire to victory, and to impel them, if: and when necessary, to sacrifice their lives for their country. The primary human instinct is that of self- preservation. But the soldier is required, as a part of his military discipline, to set aside this instinct in the interests of accomplishing the nilitary objective, achieving victory in combat, pressrving the lives of other soldiers, and protecting national security. Such discipline 9 would seen, logically, to compel total and unqualified obedience without any hesitation or doubt, to orders in time of war and emergency, ad cornplenentary training and instruction in incuicating this principle of obedience in tine of pace.* One may find, in the avlals of military history, countless examples of the key role of military a discipline in decisive campaigns and of the military disasters krhich resulted from the lack of it. > I General Gunther Bllmentritt, a high commander in the German Army in World tiar I1 with extensive experience on the Eastern Front has stated that Hitlerfs fanati.ca1 order lziven in December, 194-1, to the Wehmacht--.---- before Moscow,. with the temperature having fallen to minus 30 to 40 degrees centigrade and the great mbers of Russian and Siberian forces counterattacking that the troops hold fast, regardless, in every position and in the most impos;ible circumstances, was undoubtedly correct. He must have instinctively realized that any re-treat across the snow and ice nust, within a fetr days, lead to the dissolution of the front and that if this happened the Wehrmacht would suffer the same fate that had befallen the Grcand Armee of 1812. In the circumstances then pre- vailing the divisions could not have been withdra;m roore than three to six miles a night. More could not have been asked of the,troops or of the horses in their then exhausted condition. The withdrawal could only be carried out across the open country, since the roads adtracks were blocked with snow. After a few nights this would have proven too much for the troops, who would have sinply lain dotm and died wherever they found themselves. There were no prepared positions in the rear into which they could haw been with- ' ,- drawn, nor any sort of line to which.- they could have held I 011.3 Another German, a Wehrmacht doctor named Heimich I 3 Haape, recorded the events of this period before Moscoi~: In this unezr-thly cold, in xhich the breath froze and icicles hung froa nost'ils aid eye- , lashes all day long, tfhere thin1cin.g became an effort, the German soldi.ers fought--no longer for an ideal or an ideology, no longer for the Fatherland, They fough-t; blindly ~lrithoutasking questions, without wanting to know vhat lay ahead of them, Habit and discipline kept them I going; thatbans the flicker of an instinct to stay alive. While, fo-rt~niatelyfor makind, Hitles had not 'achieved his goa1.s in this winter of 1941-42, the Germans bere able to treather both cold and Russian winter counter- offensives. By sp'ring, 1942, the Germans were a51e to return to the offensive. IJk~ilehistory informs us of the ultimate outcome of their 1942 drive to Stalingrad., disas- trous as it was for them in its aftermath, a closer look reveals their not unreasonable expectations of success at the bzgixning of the offensive. On the other side of the coin, we can perceive what can hapden in an army in which discipline is lacking by observing the performance of the French Army of 1940, In the darkness before dam on 10 Kay, the German, offensive was launched. Into the assault, the Germans threw 89 divisions, with 47 held in reserve, making s total of 136 divisions. Facing them were a total of lk9 Allied divisions, 8 106 of them French, 20 Belgian, 13 British an& 10 Dutch. By 21 May, with the Belgims and Dutch beaten, the Germans had reached the Atlantic coa.st zt; Abbeville. The Rritish Expeditionary Force, the Fyer~hFirst and Seventh Armies, and the remaining Belgian Arnj-es were encrircled in L Flanders. Though the German wedge had two exposed flafis, the French were unable to moil-nt an armo~edthrust forceful enough to pierce them and re-establish con.tacts between the Allied armies in France and in Belgium. The French had no strategic reserve, they could not withdraw troops from the Ma.ginot line, and their inadequate use of armor and shortage of airplanes left the corridor intact. 5 Furthermore, according to Mr. Rothberg the French did not have the morale and mentality to take the offensive. Hollowed out by internal dissension be-h~eenFascists and Comunists at hone, betrayed by Fif.th CoLmists and Wazi collaborators at every level of society from the lowest to the highest, ~reakenzdby a long winter of sitzkrieg, the French Army remained apathetic uld ~2~ino-t-nir.ded. An 9 incident which graphically portrays this sorry state of affairs is described by one vho was there: The colonel asked me :&ether I woul-d undsr- take to find my way back to the wood and guide both companies to the Ferme. I set out. Con- sidering that the Germans seemed to be asleep and that the E~Iouchard (German reconnaissance plane) had gone home, I decided to avoid the woods and follow the main road straight through Chatillou. This road offered an mazing spectacle. Every-where, I saw guns, knapsacks, tins of food, cartridge-cases in the ditch. Equipment worth hundreds of thousands of francs was stre\m %. along the road: no one tliought of pi.cking it up. A11 these things had becone too heavy for infantrymen. A short distance beyond Cha'cillo~l1 met a soldier sitting on his knapsack ~r~ddevouring a tin of meat. 'What regiment?!! I asked him. 1b8th Infantry1 rlhere s ycur regiment? ?Don't know. He quietly trent on eating. 'Where are you going not^?^ He looked sullenly ahead. He was z square- built, dark-haired fellow. His dark eyes had so dull a look that I thought: he wouldaft notice if.a bullet hit him. Don1t kno~~r,he said at last. I 'm loolring for my regiment.' I asked him whether they had been ordered to retreat. lAow dp I know?! said the soldier. He rubbed his knee, Adding, 'All of a sudden soneone began to yell,--Sauve aui peut--and then we ran for it.' 'Were the Geraans there? He reflected for a vhile. 'No, we di&nlt see any.! ~e rose, lo6kin.g at me with distrust. !Letts go!' Q He took his field flask and made ready to follon me.

Introduction Physicians have always played an important role in armed conflicts be- ing the first to treat wounded and sick combatants, prisoners of war, and civilians. This makes them an important, essential category of ac- tors in armed conflicts, a role which is reflected in the laws of war.1 In granting first aid and emergency care, physicians can fulfill a further role by reporting on human rights abuses or violations of international humanitarian law.2 They are thus in a privileged position to watch over the rights of the victims of armed conflicts. However, their position is also susceptible to abuse. Physicians have always used armed conflicts for their own gain, to further their medical skills or to use their skills to enhance military gains or further medical science.

  • The Rise and Fall of an Internationally Codified Denial of the Defense of Superior Orders
    xv The Rise and Fall of an Internationally Codified Denial of the Defense of Superior Orders 30 Revue De Droit Militaire Et De Droit De LA Guerre 183 (1991) Introduction s long as there have been trials for violations of the laws and customs of A war, more popularly known as "war crimes trials", the trial tribunals have been confronted with the defense of "superior orders"-the claim that the accused did what he did because he was ordered to do so by a superior officer (or by his Government) and that his refusal to obey the order would have brought dire consequences upon him. And as along as there have been trials for violations of the laws and customs ofwar the trial tribunals have almost uniformly rejected that defense. However, since the termination of the major programs of war crimes trials conducted after World War II there has been an ongoing dispute as to whether a plea of superior orders should be allowed, or disallowed, and, if allowed, the criteria to be used as the basis for its application. Does international action in this area constitute an invasion of the national jurisdiction? Should the doctrine apply to all war crimes or only to certain specifically named crimes? Should the illegality of the order received be such that any "reasonable" person would recognize its invalidity; or should it be such as to be recognized by a person of"ordinary sense and understanding"; or by a person ofthe "commonest understanding"? Should it be "illegal on its face"; or "manifesdy illegal"; or "palpably illegal"; or of "obvious criminality,,?1 An inability to reach a generally acceptable consensus on these problems has resulted in the repeated rejection of attempts to legislate internationally in this area.

INTRODUCTION The virtual institutionalization of military service since World War II, as a normal part of the life of every young American, a fact which shows little sign of change in the near future, has made military law, once the exclusive domain of a handful of specialists in the Judge Advocate General's Corps, a matter of interest to every lawyer in the United States, and an area of special concern to that large growing pool of young lawyers facing active duty or reserve training at home. Within the ambit of this field, a neglected but significant area of inquiry is the legal duty owed to a subordinate by his superiors. Stated from another viewpoint, what pro- tection does a subordinate have against the acts of superiors, and what are the acts which the law protects him against? From time to time in recent years, we can see from the daily press that superior officers have been criticized and even court-martialed for violation of the rights of their subordinates.

  • The Superior Orders Defence: Embraced at Last?
    THE NEW ZEALAND POSTGRADUATE LAW E-JOURNAL ISSUE 2 / 2005 THE SUPERIOR ORDERS DEFENCE: EMBRACED AT LAST? by Silva Hinek THE NEW ZEALAND POSTGRADUATE LAW E-JOURNAL (NZPGLEJ) - ISSUE 2 / 2005 THE SUPERIOR ORDERS DEFENCE: EMBRACED AT LAST? SILVA HINEK * For I believe and avow that one's duty toward one's people and fatherland stands above every other. To carry out this duty was for me an honour and the highest law. May this duty be supplanted in some happier future by an even higher one, by the duty toward humanity.1 ABSTRACT: The superior orders defence is one of the most controversial defences in international criminal law. Under national law a soldier is bound to obey the orders of his military superiors promptly and without hesitation. Yet, some orders may be illegal, whether under national, international or martial law. What should happen then to a soldier who commits a crime whilst following an illegal order? Currently, the Statute of the International Criminal Court contains a provision recognising the defence of superior orders in such cases. The purpose of this article is to examine the rationale behind the defence of superior orders, viewed through its troubled history, and also to appraise this very important step of codification taken by the international community. I INTRODUCTION The doctrine of superior orders is undoubtedly one of the most controversial and widely debated defences in international criminal law. The question of whether a soldier should be punished for his crimes when he claims to have been only following orders is fraught with difficult legal and moral issues.
