This paper deals with the issue of the application of unjust law from a problematic
case for Kantian practical philosophy, as it is the duty of an agent to execute a valid
order, which considers unjust and against morality, whose consequences are eminently
prejudicial to the humanity of others. In this sense, it will investigate about the possible
conduct in which the agent, under the circumstances raised, can perform in a moral
and discretionary way according to Kantian precepts, identifying and explaining the
different mandates imposed by the categorical imperative and how the agent would face
an eventual conflict between ethical and legal duties.
