In fact, the only legal system in the world that accepts “just following orders” as a legal defense is Canada, in the Imre Finta case (he deported thousands of Jews to their deaths on the orders of a superior and was acquitted). The Rome Statute does not accept this, for what it’s worth, and Canada is a member of the ICC. Don’t know if that means they’re breaking their own laws or something
I wonder why did the Canadian accept as defenses the fact that Finta believed in "Jewish sentiment in favour of the Allied forces" and that "the Jews were subversive and disloyal to the war efforts of Hungary." With this, given that all genocide authors believe that thir victims are subversive and thus to be killed in self-defense, they might as well remove genocide from their penal code.
