The World Assembly hereby enacts the following articles:
Article I- Definitions:
- A "war crime" shall mean any violation of World Assembly law in regards to war or the treatment of prisoners of war.
- A "crime against the Assembly" shall mean any violation of World Assembly law committed on or against World Assembly property (or the territory or citizens of its member nations) that is deemed serious enough to warrant imprisonment as determined by the WAJC.
- A "crime against humanity" shall mean any repeated, widespread and systemic act that involves the destruction of cultures or peoples, or the violation of fundamental sapient rights.
Article II- The World Assembly Judiciary Committee:
- The World Assembly Judiciary Committee (herein WAJC) shall be tasked with the issuance of arrest warrants for individuals who are strongly suspected to have committed a war crime, crime against the Assembly, or a crime against humanity. These warrants may be issued only if the WAJC intends on trying the individual suspected of the crime and intends to imprison them if found guilty.
- In order for the WAJC to file an arrest warrant for a war crime or crime against humanity, both of the following must apply:
- There must be significant and convincing evidence available that the nation in which the crimes are being committed and/or the nation in which the target resides are incapable or unwilling to arrest and adequately punish individuals who have committed crimes similar to those that the individual is wanted for. Or, if the nation has through some procedure such as a trial decided not to punish the individual, if it is clear and obvious that the outcome of the procedure or the procedure itself was unjust.
- The crime(s) must have been committed in World Assembly territory or the territory of one or more of its member nations.
- In order for the WAJC to file an arrest warrant for a crime against the Assembly, the offense must be considered serious enough that imprisonment is a necessary punishment, as determined by the WAJC.
- Be it established that the WAJC shall have ultimate jurisdiction over crimes against humanity, war crimes, or crimes against the Assembly whenever those crimes are committed in World Assembly member nation territory or on World Assembly property.
- The WAJC shall develop its own procedures, legal definitions for crimes, sentencing guidelines, legal systems, etc. for their trials.
