"Um, the clause four says you need to sack commanders after a military court has decided they've done what the proposal says needs to be criminalized, but isn't that a loophole for nations that don't want to obey, as all they'd need to do was to not do the military court bit? Like, I get that you want to separate the whole "yes they did wrong" from "and this is their punishment for the wrongdoing" parts, but wouldn't the "yes they did wrong" work through any kind of court, not just military one? Especially if you've got no military and thus no military court, but you got these military-like forces, like private armies or something, that do the dirty work normally done by militaries."
OOC: In case the intern is being unclear, rather than specifically require a court martial to decide the commander has broken the proposal's commandments, couldn't you just require a legal procedure of any kind to determine it, separate from criminal punishment?
"I believe that any nation with a military organization will have designated military courts, and so the term "court martial" is applicable. I also believe that anybody involved with protracting a war should be subject to the military code. I cannot see a legal interpretation of "court martial" that excludes civilian courts when there exists no military justice system to the extent that the perpetrators evade justice. However, I suspect I can insert a clause that resolves this explicitly without the need to broaden the term."
