THE HAGUE --- The ICJ in the Hague has announced the creation of an International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former FSI.
It has jurisdiction over four clusters of crimes committed on the territory of the former FSI since 2030: grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The maximum sentence it can impose is life imprisonment.
While there are 431 trials in total, two are seen as particularly important.
These are the trials of former Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Rashid Alraqi and Captain Domenico Ascione, responsible for the Roman air operations that targeted the nuclear power plants that were catastrophically hit.
This is already being called the trial of the decade, maybe even the trial of the century. Both officers voluntary surrendered themselves to the tribunal this Friday, as requested by the ICJ.

[m]I would like to have a number of judges, ranging from 7 to 12 depending on the number of people interested.
The prosecutor would (obviously) try to prosecute the two men and me and /u/s01780 would try to defend them. In a week the judges rule a verdict. This is just something that might be fun to do.
If you submit a judge please submit a name too! Thanks!
The start of the trial would be tomorrow.
Does anyone have any experience with a European Union (specifically the Commission or the Parliament) internship and/or an Internship with the International criminal courts (ICTY, ICTR, ICC) ?
I want more historical accuracy within my game and the current partition lines aren't cutting it tbh.
General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP), had issued a special proclamation in January to order the establishment of a special military tribunal to try the Japanese wartime government members and military officers for crimes against peace (class A) war crimes (Class B), and crimes against humanity (Class C). The model of the tribunal generally followed that of the Nuremberg Trials.
The defendants were comprised of 28 wartime generals and government bureaucrats, most famously Hideki TΕjΕ. The prosecution will consist of SCAP-appointed prosecutors from nations that signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, and the Philippines, and the defense will be organised by a joint Japanese-American team of lawyers. The judgment will be appointed from nations that signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, and the Philippines. Two American judges have been appointed Chief Justice John P. Higgins of Massachussetts and Major General Myron C. Cramer, Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Army
The tribunal, including such tasks and prosecution, hearings and readings, will likely last for years.
The SCAP recommends the exoneration of the imperial family, which would include suspects such as abdicated emperor Hirohito (Class A, B and C), Prince Asaka, general of the Japanese forces in Nanjing during the Nanjing Massacre (Class B and C), Prince Higashikuni (Class A, B and C), Prince Takeda (Class B and C), and Prince Hiroyasu (Class A).
However, SCAP is not immune to outside pressures. Should sufficient pressure be applied through governments behind the recommendation of prosecutors and judges, the exoneration of imperial family members may not last.
