The Nuremberg Principles can be found in the book We Won’t Pay!: A Tax Resistance Reader.

A reader writes with some interesting news of his own tax protest:

I refused to pay my taxes this year out of absolute moral distaste. I also asked the IRS if they could provide legal assurance that paying taxes would not leave me open to prosecution under the Nuremberg Principles. The IRS replied that they could not provide a quick response to my letter since they had received “a large number of similar requests.”

Here’s an interesting protest approach that may appeal to some Picket Line readers: “On Aug. 6 [1996], 30 people turned themselves in to the Welsh national police. Considering the recent ruling of the International Court of Justice… they confessed to the crime of paying income and VAT taxes used for British nuclear programs, in violation of international law. Police declined to make any arrests.”
