Generalissimo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Procinctia, in cooperation with the Republic of Finland , is calling an International Court of Justice trial for the individual known as Kaiser Martens (in accordance with World Congress articles 20, 21, and 22). Current charges include Assassination, Cultural genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, Facilitating Genocide, Deportation and Forcible transfer of populations, Murder, Torture, and War Crimes. The trial is scheduled for Nineteenth of August and will consist of an international tribunal composed of legal representatives from participating World Congress members nations. If Martens does not appear the trial will be conducted in his absence. Edited August 13, 2009 by Generalissimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalissimo Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Generalissimo considered himself Kaiser Marten’s sworn adversary as chosen by fate; still standing where Artic Countries, Alliance & Treaty Organizations, Francoists, International Socialists, Socialist Workers Fronts, and Libertarian Socialists faltered – yet Martens could never be bothered to acknowledge Generalissimo’s existence, not once, even at the same events when they were right across from each other. * Flashback – World Congress special open session in regards to the invasion of the Republic of Mariehamm and war in Europe * “You’re not going to leave because you’re committed to peace, aren’t you Kaiser Martens? There’s note and three files under your chair in a manila folder, I suggest you read it, consider it new evidence.” Generalissimo wasn't going to let his one chance slip through his fingers so easly“Don’t think you can just walk away Martens, Marteeeeeeeeeens ~ ! ! ! You’re not going anywhere, when you’re finished reading that we’re all going to sit down and talk about peace.” It was Generalissimo’s final trump card in a desperate gamble for peace, and it failed. . . Martens causally walked away without bothering to dignify a response.Generalissimo was always prepared for Marten’s treachery, but after such bold a confrontation the Kaiser’s retribution seemed inevitable – yet in months of constant vigilance Marten’s blade had not reveled itself. Was that single manila folder enough to keep Martens at bay? Was the Kaiser a coward after all? No – even no he was watching, waiting, bidding his time to strike. . . but Generalissimo wasn’t going to give him the opportunity. Tahoe's trail of LeVentNoir was inspiring.

Lynneth Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Bavaria will gladly put whatever resources are available to finding Martens and bringing him to Justice. On that note, there have been reports of him being sighted in the scandinavian part of Nordheim, though the civil war there is still raging.

Tahsir Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The Republic of Dranagg challenges the authority of the "World Congress" to pass judgement on anyone. The fact that Procintia, a nation the Republic has helped, and is on friendly terms with, would suggest taking advantage of the fact that there is potential strength in a peaceful organization is both shocking and alarming. If such power is to be allowed to exist then no one nation is safe should they fall under the notice of the "World Congress". This must be stopped immediately before it builds momentum.

Imperator Azenquor Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 "We find the concept of the International Court of Justice laughable. The ICJ, in our view has no moral authority whatsoever to attempt to charge anyone with war crimes. We see this trial as nothing more than a thinly veiled sham and a witch hunt by those who wish to seek revenge against a single individual. Although we are not a member of the world congress, nor shall we seek such a membership at any time in the near future, we feel that it is necessary to state our position on this matter. Secondly, should KaiserMartens and his family wish it, the government of Buryatia is prepared to offer them full Buryatian citizenship (OOC: that comes with a ‘thou shalt not be extradited’ clause) as well as sanctuary in the country. We state that if the International Court of Justice was even remotely interested in any idea of real justice they would charge several other people who may or may not have committed the same acts as those KaiserMartens is accused of. Have charges been brought against the former government of Yamato? Have charges been brought against the former government of Wiedergeburt? Have charges been brought against the former government of the Vaule Democratic Republic? Have charges been brought against the former government of Dai Kyokujitu Tekoku? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding no. Yet the ICJ has chosen, of all these possible cases to bring Kaiser Martens to trial? We find this highly suspicious."-Buryatian Foreign Minister Onatopp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be stopped immediately before it builds momentum. To clear certain misconceptions; our International Court of Justice lacks the authority to enforce any ruling outside consenting World Congress member countries. If Martens chooses not to attend or Nordheim chooses to harbor him, we’re not going to do anything about it. This isn’t about punishing Martens; Procintia isn’t using the strength of the World Congress for anything but truth, and by the end of this process Marten’s secrets will be reveled the world.

There may be others, and if we succeed here they may be dealt with in time.The trial of select ‘Greater’ Nordland officials was a condition of peace accepted by all parties in the agreement ending the last European conflict but the coalition forces lacked an appropriate framework for international justice, institutionally the ICJ fills this gap.

"The point being stressed is that they were not charged by the International Court of Justice. We acknowledge that most of those from the former DKT regime faced justice, but the point still stands that none of those listed have been charged before the International Court of Justice as far as we know. Several countries were being used as examples to illustrate the point. We direct your attention to this part of the statement: We state that if the International Court of Justice was even remotely interested in any idea of real justice they would charge several other people who may or may not have committed the same acts as those KaiserMartens is accused of. Have charges been brought against the former government of Yamato? Have charges been brought against the former government of Wiedergeburt?
