El Salvador
Practice Relating to Rule 154. Obedience to Superior Orders
El Salvador’s Human Rights Charter of the Armed Forces instructs members of military forces to “execute orders as far as possible in the scope of the law. If orders are a crime against human rights, do not execute them because they violate the law.”
El Salvador’s Law on the Armed Forces (1998) provides: “The duty to obey is limited to those orders that do not transgress statutory or regulatory provisions in force.”
