Befehlsnotstand (English: Necessity to obey orders) is a German legal term that refers to a situation in which a certain action is ordered that violates law, but where the refusal to carry out such an order would lead to drastic consequences, specifically danger to life or body, for the person refusing to carry out the order.

  • Befehlsnotstand ist ein Begriff aus der Strafrechtsdogmatik. Allgemeine gesetzliche Regelungen finden sich in § 34 StGB (rechtfertigender Notstand) und § 35 StGB (entschuldigender Notstand). Beide Regelungen setzen voraus, dass einem Befehlsempfänger für den Fall, dass er einen (verbrecherischen) Befehl nicht ausführt, eine gegenwärtige Gefahr für Leib oder Leben droht. Bei Ausführung des Befehls bleibt der Befehlsempfänger dann aufgrund dieser Zwangslage straffrei. (de)

  • Befehlsnotstand (English: Necessity to obey orders) is a German legal term that refers to a situation in which a certain action is ordered that violates law, but where the refusal to carry out such an order would lead to drastic consequences, specifically danger to life or body, for the person refusing to carry out the order. The concept of Befehlsnotstand was successfully used as a defense in World War II-related war crimes trials in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s but research into the subject since has proven that Befehlsnotstand as such did not exist, meaning German soldiers of the Wehrmacht or SS did not actually face drastic consequences if refusing such an order during the war. Refusing a lawful order did however result in consequences, with 23,000 German soldiers executed for refusing orders. (en)
