The Genocide Convention that originated and was invented as a result of the Holocaust by Germany made it clear that using the excuse of “obeying orders” would not be found acceptable.

The sad part of this swift justice system, however, is that it will, unfortunately, not catch all the myriad of tiny particles that carried out the orders like scum that remains at the bottom of the barrel and will squeeze past the microscopic — but yet finite — holes in the legal sieve.
