I already have a plan for defending the criminals.

Is there anything that should be changed in the first post in the IC?

Agreed.

I don't think so. Well, in reality, the crimes they are accused of would fall into a few different categories for a few different courts, but like the Yugoslavia Tribunal, you can mix them all together into one big accusation. However, such an international body would not be able to demand the death penalty, especially since Russia is bound by the European Convention for Human Rights, which forbids the use of the death penalty. So, yeah, no, the post makes perfect sense, other than the death penalty bit.

We should discuss...

Agreed.

So, what are we going to do?

Agreed.

What would have to happen in order for the death penalty to be allowed, especially since Syria, Gaddafi's kin, Egypt, and most of the Arab countries are demanding the accused be put to death if found guilty?

We need to show that the judges that this is a show trial and that it is hypocritical for Russia to makes these accusations since they have committed the same crimes.

Even if you prove Russia wrong, you'd have to dig up dirt on Syria and Jordan in order to win the whole thing.

I'm assuming the press is allowed inside the court room?

[Krugeristan]

I'm assuming the press is allowed inside the court room?

Yes, but what they published is monitored carefully so no one starts lying to the outside world.

So could I rp as a news agency in the US?

Hmmm, that won't fly. Even hypocrites can sue in a court of law. I think we'll need to show that international law cannot govern the internal affairs of nations, and that the defendants were acting in their national interest. So, for instance, prove that the wars were justified and that the US didn't even try to kill Assad or Khadaffi. Then, we can move that Obama is a head of state, protected under international law from international prosecution.
