Several controversial issues such as the immunity of the state, the absolute character of military discipline, and immunity on the grounds of mistake of law/or coercion have been complexly interwoven in the debates. The execution of illegal orders and international criminal responsibility provides a comprehensive portrait of the relevant debates at the international level up to the present, analyzes the conflicting views, and shows the significance of the development of international rules for the superior orders defense as well as the implication of the fact that issues concerning some detailed or related rules have been left unresolved"--P.
