I mean, it is, but not for the retarded authority reasoning Walsh is making. "International law" and the Nuremberg horseshit was made up to punish Germans for standing up for themselves and to make an example of them to cow other Europeans.

It also was a deliberate dismantling of who holds responsibility for military action. For a thousand years, no one would bat an eye at "just following orders" because the supreme commander was responsible for the conduct of his troops. No one ever, ever wanted infantry thinking for themselves.

But suddenly not only is every individual soldier now responsible for determining the morality of orders, but the military is corporatized overnight to the effect that no one besides ground-level units are responsible for anything. Suddenly, your prince or general losing his head is no longer a consequence of military action. And the rest of twentieth century military actvity is very obviously carried out in such a way that the commanders were aware of the new rules.
