Your nation's war crimes?

Postby Kel-Elysia » Fri Feb 17, 2012 7:15 pm

Okay, we all know that sometimes a nation's military may get too hardcore about what they're fighting for and proceed to commit a so-called "war crime" (which is a silly thing to say, since in all reality war is a terrible thing. Softening it up with the rules and customs of war gives people all the more reason to become fond of it.) Opinions aside, what war crimes has your nation been convicted of?

Since the formation of the World Assembly, Imperial military forces have been noted by WA officials for their tendencies towards committing outright genocide against those who oppose it. Imperial "war crimes" from World War One are detailed in this abridged version of the original WA record:
Ad-Dawr Massacre (800+ civilians dead)
Al-Awja Massacre (672 civilians dead)
Arbil Massacres (67,000+ civilians dead)
Baghdad Massacres (280,000+ civilians dead)
Halabja Massacre (4,521 civilians, 9,000+ POWs dead)
Villeurbanne Massacre (788 civilians shot dead)
Rape of Marseilles (90,000+ civilians dead, thousands assaulted, mugged, or raped. Marseilles pillaged and burned.)
Le Mans Massacre (1,200+ civilians dead)
First Imperial Holocaust of Muslims (First Arabian Purge in Imperial records)(8,000,000+ dead, many more displaced and/or enslaved)
Antwerp Massacre (2,500+ civilians dead)
Liege Massacre (3,600+ civilians, 1,200 POWs dead)

The Great Purge (9,000,000 German, Italian, Japanese, Romanian, and Vichy French prisoners of war and civilians slaughtered over five years. Among many other things, prisoners in Imperial concentration camps were shot, hung, gassed, burned alive, or forced to swallow gasoline followed by said gasoline being ignited.)
Aachen Massacre (1,000+ civilians dead)
Bonn Massacre (13,000+ civilians, 5,000+ POWs dead)
Krefeld Massacre (9,000+ civilians, 2,500+ POWs dead)
Halle Massacre (14,000+ civilians dead)
Stuttgart Massacre (15,000+ civilians dead)

Purging of Communists from Korea (100,000+ dead; from 1951 to the end of the war, Imperial forces assisted South Korean military police in executing communist traitors according to Korean law. Imperial forces were notoriously brutal towards the communists.)
Numerous Massacres of Chinese POWs (600,000+ Chinese prisoners of war tortured and killed over the course of the war. The number of times this has happened are so numerous that WA officials have not been able to place a number on it.)
Taking of Chinese Skulls as War Trophies (An unspecified number of Chinese skulls were taken as trophies by Imperial soldiers. The skulls are currently on display at the Shrine of the Fallen in Kasr Derth, which is a tribute to all Imperial personnel who have served honorably in all conflicts.)
*The Korean War is the only conflict in which Imperial soldiers did not attempt to outright exterminate the enemy. This is because Kel-Elysians have always felt a certain connection with Koreans, since the first people to land in Kel-Elysia were crew members of a Korean vessel.

Massacres of Civilians in the First Soviet-Imperial War (6,000,000+ dead.)
Massacres of POWs in the First Soviet Imperial War (500,000+ dead)
Burning of Stalingrad (4,000,000+ civilians and POWs dead; Stalingrad [currently Volgograd] looted and burned to the ground.)

Massacres of Vietnamese and Cambodian Civilians during the Vietnam War (4,000,000+ dead)
Massacres of POWs during the Vietnam War (562,421 dead)

First Imperial Holocaust of Communists (11,000,000+ dead; methods of execution included intentionally starving, gassing, burning alive, hanging, or burying prisoners alive.)
Massacres of Civilians during the Second Soviet-Imperial War (1,253,123 dead, according to Soviet records)
Massacres of POWs during the Second Soviet-Imperial War (2,312,132 dead, according to Soviet records)
Taking of Trophies from fallen Soviet soldiers (Imperial soldiers took the body parts of Soviet troops, mostly skulls, as well as watches and other personal effects as war trophies. Most of the remains were repatriated in 1992, while the rest are on display at the Shrine of the Fallen in Kasr Derth.

Baghdad Massacre (221,000 civilians dead)
Massacres of Iraqi Prisoners of War (100,000+ dead)

Second Imperial Holocaust of Muslims (13,000,000+ dead; during the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Imperium took any and all Muslims they could into custody and forced them into concentration camps, where prisoners were subjected to death by burning, gassing, hanging, or torture.)
Massacres of Iraqi Civilians during the Invasion of Iraq until 2006 (8,000,000+ dead)
Massacres of Middle Eastern Civilians and prisoners of war, 2006-onwards (9,000,000+ dead)

We are not part of the World Assembly and therefore do not have to follow their "rules of war". However, this does not mean we have committed any in the first place.

Doing a quick cross reference to look upon these rules we have caused none.

We had a Civil War from 1979 to 1991. The final death count told us in 1996 that almost 25% of the national populace had died,and that 11% of the national area had to be declared Unfit for human living conditions, due to the use of chemical weapons. Also over 30 million land mines were used and to this date only 41% of them have been cleared, as the standard model of the Voronda Imperial Army was made of plastic and many records were destroyed when the forces of revolution prevailed over the Imperial Remnant.

The biggest massacre of the civil war was conducted by the bandit militia of Ibram Rankovic in the town of Scheißheim, which was totally depopulated. Before it the Town had almost 220.000 inhabitants, the bandits fired artillery rockets loaded with nerve gas in the city center and then started leveling the rest with conventional artillery. The History of the Voronda Empire was a bloody one, it was founded in a series of conflicts between rivalling city-states in the 15th century that are known as the Unification Wars. Records show that several of the warring cities simply stopped existing and were never heard from again in this time, such as Schnorkburg and Bandablag. The Empire itself clung to power by militarism, crushing revolts with the power of its army. In 1929 the first civil war ended in the ritual decimation of the workers militia and population of Brokdorf, and only the second civil war (1979-1991) ended the bloody reign of the Iremashvili-Dynasty.

Radiatia's one week invasion of the neighbouring nation of Narus under Former President Derro Vahnsehn is considered by some to have been a war crime (or at least, an illegal invasion). An end to the conflict was negotiated after one week, with the war being a result of a combination of a faulty and under-researched dossier and corporate pressure on the President by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

As a result of this conflict, a new law (which would later be in the consititution) was passed forbidding the President to declare war without ratification from the Federal Council.

None, officially. Brutal fighting during the Warring Periods of 1799-1820 and 1853-1860 resulted in brutalities, but at the time there were no conventions to stop the atrocities from being classed as a simple by-product of conflict. The Populist Regime of the 20s and 30s committed war crimes in it's attempt to placate the population during the Revolution but these were stopped after their defeat and not against foreign nationals.

Genocide, on multiple occasions.
Although to us, it isn't a war crime, it's just sport for our kind.
But that's the past, and we are due to put that behind us.
It's not as if the Human race has suffered any substantial losses, I mean.. they're still around.
Maybe we should do it again, since their numbers are ascending faster than we can quell them.

There is probably no chance that we will do another Genocide in the future, especially since Human kind and the Dragonkin are beginning to finally get along. or so we think.

Well, thus far, the World Assembly hasn't been able to convict us of basically anything. This is partly because we genuinely take care not to do anything excessive on the battlefield, and because we are not members of the World Assembly, do not regard ourselves as bound by the Geneva Conventions, and generally do not let WA minders follow us around.

They keep trying, though. It's almost like they're hoping to find something.

Given that events that might nowadays comsitute a war crime would have been perfectly acceptable in the past I shall write only of the past few decades.
Background; the vicious civil war in the desert south between the Romano-Numidian majority and separatists Arabs.
June 16th 1979- The Holy Massacre, as the Arab Muslims left work for Friday prayers, planes belonging to the III Numidan Infantry flew low over the city of Badafidad spraying mustard gas, 6,000 Arabs where killed 50,000 wounded
August 1st 1979- in revenge for a car bombing The Qadafis Tribal Militia stormed the city of Jadazawijah, after fierce fighting many Arabs gave up chosing a life of slavery over death. However due to food shortages a government telegraph ordered all detainees to bee executed. The Arabs were taken to a ravine, a shot. Total dead 71,000

After a period of quiet hostikies resumed in a vid to quell the conflict before the millennium in 1999 700,000 Arab males were taken for questioning and put to the sword in their jail cells, it is rumoured some were taken to the capital so the senate could take part.

The conflict has been marked with atrocities committed at smaller levels to, in particular random executions and gang rapes.

Torture
