The International Criminal Court (Sign Ups!)

[Bergnovinaia]

The International Criminal Court

*A NOTE: All High Bench Positions are Claimed at this time*

Following the passage of GA #102, The WA member states were obliged with the task of creating and maintaining the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute people or groups that commit genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Initially, the court was constructed almost immediately, but due to logistical errors, interest in prosecuting individuals charged with these crimes declined over time. However, in recent months with an increase of violence in the international community, there has been a new effort to re-vitalize and reconstruct the ICC.

It is the duty of member states under GA #102 to arrest individuals that the ICC places a warrant on and thus, it is the consequent duty of the member states involved in the ICC to try the accused to the best of their legal ability and with fair trial standards. Therefore, it is with pleasure that I hereby open the second version of the International Criminal Court to all member nations and I urge member states to both join the positions available and present the ICC with cases to try.

Here is how the second version of the ICC will be set up logistically:

For each case, approximately 15 jury members will be pooled to fill a 10 person jury. (These numbers can be adjusted as the involvement in the ICC increases or decreases). An infinite number of jurors can exist at any time, but only one is allowed per nation involved. To avoid stacking a jury or getting double votes, the ICC will NOT allow puppets into the court. Member nations can submit one juror. Nations serving on the jury cannot be any other position in the court (except for court reporter).

The ICC will have a rotating panel of 7 judges, with as many back up, minor judges as applied for. In order to become a main judge, I (and other members of the ICC) must feel that the nation offering the judge has a dedication to RPing cases and will not flake on his/her commitments. One judge will oversee each trial that is in session, and if the judge being used during the trial becomes unavailable at any time during proceedings, he can call upon a fellow judge to take their spot. Judges are responsible for maintaining order during the case, hearing objections, declaring mistrials, requesting the jury to deliberate, and hand down sentencing if the jury convicts the individual in the case being tried. Nations serving as the judge during a trial cannot be any other position in the court. Judges can resign at any time or their term can end when the nation is inactive for a period greater than 2 weeks without notifying the court. Otherwise, judges can maintain their position as long as they wish.

Revised plan:

--The ICC shall be divided into three (3) separate, yet equally important court systems to aid in logical processing of cases in a triaged manner. The first, and lowest, shall be called the "Low Bench." This court shall be used primarily for trying all cases that are deemed unfit to immediately be queued in the "High Court"(See third bullet point for more info.). At this low level court, one (1) judge hears the case delivered from both sides and delvers his/her verdict on the matter, citing the law(s) to support his/her argument. If the plaintiff does not wish to appeal, this judge is responsible for sentencing.

--The second court, "The Appellate Bench," is responsible for processing appeal cases from the "Low Bench." These courts are made up of a review panel of three (3) judges who were not involved on the case in question. These judges shall re-hear the case, hopefully with new arguments from the loser, and shall deliberate on how to rule. The ruling that favors one individual (either 2-1 or 3-0) shall be considered the verdict. If no further pursuit of the case is wanted, these judges shall decided on the sentencing.

--If a case is high enough in prestige to be deemed worthy or if it has gone through the appellate process, the "High Bench" shall hear the case and deliver the final and definitive verdict and ruling on the case. Cases shall be decided by simple majority. The "High Bench" shall consist of nine (9) permanent judges from different nations that will hear the cases and rule on the case. There shall be three (3) Chief Justices that help move proceedings along in a timely manner and help deliver verdicts and write their opinions. For each case, a majority opinion is required upon verdict and sentencing. Minority opinions are optional, but highly recommend for legal literature. At this time, the current "high" judges of the ICC shall make up the beginning of the nine, with Bergnovinaia definitely filling a slot of a Chief Justice. (Any justice on the "High Bench" is allowed to resign at any time, but their spot will be immediately filled.) (OOC: I will determine who is a chief justice once all slots are filled.)

The ICC will require nations to send both prosecutors and defenders to the ICC for use in cases. Nations can submit up to (3) individuals to serve as lawyers for a case. Written bios that explain their beliefs and specialties (if applicable) will obviously go into who an individual on trial or the ICC seeks out to defend or prosecute, respectively. Nations prosecuted and or defending during a trial cannot be on the jury or a judge. The ICC and the defendants are allowed a max of 3 lawyers (from different nations) to represent them during a trial. (The point being is that if one goes MIA, the whole trial isn't sunk). Lawyers cannot be on the jury or act as a judge in a trial they are involved in.

Court Reporter(s): These individual(s) would help to record the proceedings of each case and file away important legal information (ideally into some offsite website). (I would love if an offsite record site for the ICC can actually come together). Obviously, some benefits to this would be that lawyers could reference past cases for precedent in trials. Court reporters can serve on any position in the same trial that they are reporting on.

*Maybe like 2 people dedicated enough to be admin oversight people and help me with logistical stuff*
**It would be really cool if someone is talented enough at art to become a court artist and post pictures too!**

The ICC will also allow any media coverage of the cases unless a client specifically asks the case not be released to the media until the end of the trial. As such, any nation can send as many reporters as they wish to the trial.

When Dr. Coggin went off to college, he knew that he wanted to major in Cultural Studies, but his father, who was the mayor of Odonex for some time, encourage Dr.Coggin to pursue Political scinece as well, so he did. Because of his respect for knowledge and education, Dr. Coggin furthered his college education by earning a Ph.D in both of the areas he majored. in.

Dr. Coggin had no true intentions of using his experience in Political Science... certainly not as a WA ambassador. Dr. Coggin was well known and respected across the international community for authoring various books and papers on the arts, culture, and history, as well as little dabs with political science. However, when the five term WA ambassador from District 5, James Gould, resigned, Dr. Coggin was encourage by his father to run for the WA seat. While hesitant at first, Dr. Coggin eventually gave in and with the support of his father and the local community of Odonex, he succesfully won the WA District 5 election. Although Coggin now serves on the Bergnovinaian WA delegation, he has decided to apply for a lawyer to the ICC because of his involvement with the WA.

Judge Application

Judge name: Erling Selvik
Nation of origin: Odinburgh
Bio (brief, like max 2 paragraphs):

Erling Selvik is 60 years old from the town of Hoderham, Odinburgh. At age 17, he entered Thorheim University where he studied international law and political science. Four years later enrolled into Thorheim Law school where he passed the bar exam and other exams in order to practice as a lawyer and to practice as a judge since it was his lifelong dream to be a judge since childhood. He graduated with honors as he was the Valedictorian. At age 25, he was appointed by the Odinburgh Justice Ministry to the 3rd Circuit Court where he worked on many criminal and war-related cases as well some civilian cases. Some of the civilian cases involved which among those cases was a case that was ruled that the transgendered is recognized as a major sex group and any sort of healthcare can not be denied to them; gays can legally marry. Erling Selvik won every one of his cases and has made a quite a name for himself. As well he is a known activist on civil rights issues.

At Age 41, he was appointed to work in the office of Odinburgh Justice Ministry as a judicial advisor where he was there for the next 18 years working with the judicial system reforming judicial procedures and giving judicial advice due to bizzare events involving corruption in a few areas of the Odinburgh Judicial System related to a few corrupt circuit court judges rigging court outcomes to favor the mafia and radical racist groups especially related to election laws in Odinburgh and big money from corporations. It has since then those problems have been cleaned up by the Odinburgh Ministry of Justice that things like that are not allowed to happen again thanks to Erling Selving's effort to help restore these circuit courts' credibility and some new laws that have been implemented which the Odinburgh Senate passed to prevent these types of actions. It was at age 56, it was Chancellor Olaf Borson recommended that Erling Selvik to serve on the Odinburgh Supreme Court as a justice and which was indeed confirmed quite quickly within two days after the placement of Selvik's recommendation which is the quickest confirmation in Odinburgh History for a Supreme Court judge to be confirmed. During his time as justice he upheld the Anti-Torture Act which bans the use of waterborting, electricutions or beating up of civilians or military personel during a process of being interrogated. Erling was promoted at age 60 to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Odinburgh which a few cases on genocide and war crimes came up. One case while as Chief Justice was overturned that a man was proven not a terrorist due to mishandled DNA evidence. Also it must be mentioned that humanitarian case involving the healthcare reformation act to overall the healthcare system in Odinburgh was upheld also to which it remained constitutional under his time on the Odinburgh Supreme Court.

Why should the ICC choose you as a judge?: His experience is unique compared to other judges. His time dealing with holding court over International cases is of great careful thougtfulness and study by Erling Selvik. He takes his time to make the right the call and makes sure the right call is made in any case so justice has prevailed correctly. He is very disciplined and does not put up with any hanky panky during a court cases so each one can get done quickly as soon as possible in a timely manner so there is no time lag or extreme waiting for other cases that need to be tried before him.

Each case wheather it was criminal or civil hasn't ever been biased agaimst race, gender, age, social status, or religous status. Our WA delegate, Jarred Stevens, voted for the ICC, with strong support from Justice Fuler and President Jupoi.

[Bergnovinaia]

Alrighty! Good to see already a good amount of interest in the ICC! I updated the list of applicable jurors, judges, lawyers, and cases with all the information presented. If I missed anything, please let me know.

A few notes. Firstly, I have expanded the number of judges on the "main panel" to 7 and I am allowing other nations interested in judging join as "alternates." Alternate judges can be choosen to judge a case, but it must be done so by the panel, the defendant, or some majority in the ICC. Nations younger than 6 months old cannot have a judge on either list.

On that note, I have used my own discretion to fill up 4 of the 7 main panel positions with the applications I have recieved and I have put a few applications into the "alternates" list. Soviet Canuckistan and Odinburgh, I put you guys on alternates simply because I have not had the time to study the quality of your RPing. If you wish to challenge my decision, please make it known.

Bloodbath Generation I did the same but simply because you said you would be interested in the OCC thread to be a judge for low-profile cases... a lot of cases the ICC tries will be high-profile by nature, and thus I put you on the alternate list for now. Let me know if you want that changed though.

[Bergnovinaia]

Upon further RPing review, I have decided to place Soviet Canuckistan's judge on the main panel.

The Star Empire of Ainocra has, since the inception of the court maintained a steadfast refusal to comply. The Supreme Marshal of Ainocra summarily ejected all WA diplomats from Ainocran territory upon the passage of this bill. Ainocran culture is based upon the principal that individual freedom is assured to all citizens through military service.
During the initial debate over this court's creation the Ainocran Ambassador observed "Hell this thing is so vague that you could probably put ME on trial just for doing my duty in a time of war."

Fleet Marshal Alcon Enta did in fact participate in a military action during his younger days that put down an armed rebellion on the Ainocran homeworld. The details of that conflict are murky and shrouded in secrecy.

The Marshal has appointed his aide Major Delwyn Rhomduil to deal with and legal matter relating to the court.
[MOD EDIT: Image removed due to image host being compromised by malware.]


The Major is a graduate of the Ainocran Fleet Academy. He is currently 42 years old and serves as the Marshal's assistant.
During his time in the Ainocran military he has served in may administrative roles. The majority of his postings have been in the judge advocate generals office and as a young Lieutenant he represented then Captain Enta at his court marshal over the battle of Plutarch. His is an expert on Ainocran law and has even briefly served as the Ainocran Ambassador to the assembly.

Perhaps... you can still judge a case, just if the main judges are unable to do so or a defendant wishes to use your judge.
