Indicator 2. When the criminal legal framework sets more severe punishments for crimes committed during a state of war, state of emergency or armed conflict and the execution of a superior order would constitute such crime, the order should never be executed if it does not comply with minimum guarantees set by international humanitarian law and international criminal law
It is important that if the criminal legal framework sets more severe punishments for crimes committed during a state of war, state of emergency or armed conflict and the execution of a superior order would constitute such crime, the superior order should never be executed if it does not comply with minimum guarantees set by international humanitarian law and international criminal law.
Summary
The criminal law frameworks of all the analysed countries with the exception of Montenegro provide for sufficient safeguards that a subordinate will be by any means sentenced if he/she commits a crime on superior command and by doing so violates rules of international humanitarian or international criminal law.
