Gathering of evidence to prosecute Credonia for war crimes

Huzen Hagen
12-03-2004, 18:24
Credonia has stated that "i don't take the killing of civilians easily" though he has killed thousands. What follows is evidence of Credonias lack of restraint or thought and his inability to abide to rules of war.

During the invasion of The HLF: (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121087)
Credonia used EMP weapons while there were civilian airliners still airborne, 210 dead including 93 school children

Took out a water treatment plant meaning no clean drinking water for a 30 mile radius

thousands of civilains killed by bombing runs

invaded over 50 billion dollars that the HLF had scammed of a foolish nation- all this bloodshed over nothing

In the ongoing war with Holy Panooly: (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=130149&highlight=)
Fired nerve gas at HP with prior agreeement not to use it. 500/600 and counting civilian deaths

Ordered Bombing of Huzeny Capital (not military instalations) for no reason

Ordered attempted assasination of Huzen Hagen Emperor again without reason



OOC:more to come im re-reading the thread, all who have been victim to Credonias Imperialism post any evidence you can find

Please will you put links to the appropriate threads.

Plus, if you want someone to be tried for war crimes you have to get hold of the leader first, then form a jury to put him before. This will probably be easier said then done...

Credonia is just as guilty as the "terrorist" states. I mean look at what he has done against unprotected civillian targets. He even fired at a HP hospital.
12-03-2004, 19:05
This is getting sick. Credonia is a hypocrite. Measures should be taken to limit its power in world conflicts. I say we petition the U.N. to place restrictions on Credonia.

Hm... I've seen much worse commited by many other nations. So I don't see why Credonia is any different. We don't agree with the bombing of innocents but it's hardly as if they weren't in those nations for a good reason to start with.

No... we don't see how you can charge them for war crimes if those laws don't exist in their nation. You would have to capture his leader to be able to do anything and they don't have to hand him over...

We see no crimes here because it's not Credonia's law. There are no international laws to charge him with because they have to be agreed upon internationally.

HP you are the one who has initiated war with Cred, yes they have a very active foreign policy so do many other nations. I agree that many nations are too quick to jump into massive wars resulting in unnecessary loss of life such is the price of bad leadership. I further believe that nations acting out of vengeance should not go to war. I'm a firm believer in Tzu; war should never be entered into if the outcome is over shadowed by the price of that war.

You can't take someone to international court if they don't even associate with an international court. Thats just like the United States and the International Court right now. They don't recognize it as superior to US Court. Credonia doesn't have to recognize any sort of International Court, especially if he isn't a member of it.


Besides, You're not much better HP.

Credonia attacks civil targets with VX nerve gas and he has the right to condemn terrorism? I think you are wrong. I stated I would not use them in normal combat and only as a last resort. Credonia ignored my statement and he attacked me with poison gas. That's unacceptable.

12-03-2004, 21:29
My peoples would like to take a neutral stance in this matter as we believe that the art of war should be the final straw. There were, in my opinion other avenues with which you could have explored before going down this one.

Futhermore, we also believe that as Cred does not have any such laws governing the treatment he has shown you then you cannot try him for crimes that he doesn't understand.

Credonias may pale in comparison to others but the fact that they claim to always protect civilians and that they attack nations for having WMD's then use them without a thought is a crime in itself. If Credonia is not brought to justice i will supply all the terrorist nations with WMD's to even the score, we'll see if Credonia likes it when his people are the ones dying

Due to this stance, the United Socialist States urges the nation of Nuzen Hagen to consider the lack of forethought placed here for the public record. Lest we forget the proliferation of arms of the now defunct United States and Soviet Union and the damage they caused in the wake of their retalitory actions, we must seek a diplomatic solution to this problem.

However, if the nation of Huzen Hagen refuses to validate the soverign rights of Credonia as a nation independent of all international courts of which it is NOT affiliated, we shall support Credonia through our mutual ally of Catania-Marinov. We acknowledge that the loss of civilians is a terrible event in any form during war or peace times; nonetheless, you must consider your objectives and appeal politically to the international community. We, as the situation currently stands, shall stay neutral until such time as we feel the interests of international security are threatened.

Interesting how everyone jumps on my case about using NON NUCLEAR weapons when the one who actually fired missiles first was Holy Panooly. We aggreed to NO NUKES..they fired the first missiles, Credonia only fired back, with even more (250 ICBM's - total of 650 warheads - to be exact). We had no intention of using such eweapons nor did we state that we would, but if HP wants to play the game dirty like that, we can play dirty too, if they want to try to attack us without using diplomacy first, thats on them, we can only use this opportunity to humiliate them and show them that they cant justify terrorism. If you call protecting all nations from forces that wish to commit terror, harbor terrorists, and use weapons against the populus of a nation, terrorism, then by all means, CREDONIA IS GUILTY OF JUST THAT. But it simply must be done. We can cut the shit right here, if they want to play dirty, Credonia will show no remorse in playing dirty right back, except our actions will be swifter, harder, and will make all enemies wish they had never picked a fight with us in the first place.

At the risk of making myself unpopular with many members of the international community, Credonia has Cousin Eddie's full support. Without wanting to become a Bible Basher; "Judge not lest yea be judged". HP, I believe that your attempt to prosecute Credonia for war crimes is just as immoral as anything else that Credonia may or may not have done. As for prosecuting him in an internal court!! You can't do that. The civil courts within your country are for civil matters only.In the case of war crimes, an international tribunal has to be formed.

Whilst we may not be a particularly large or powerful country, Credonia has our backing.

I wouldn't worry about it Cousin Eddie, it's good that you are willing to stand up for what you beleive in.

Personally we are indifferent about this whole thing. We can't see it sticking and there isn't much they can do to try and bring Credonia to "justice" so I'm going to ignore the charges.
13-03-2004, 04:58
I don't see a need to attack Credonia outright. They are their own Sovereign nation, thats true. They don't abide by international laws, probably true. Credonia shouldn't be attacked for what they believe.

However, there is nothing wrong with forming a pact in which if Credonia breaks the agreed upon sanctions, then a coalition force can be massed and force Credonia to correct itself. I believe that is the diplomacy everyone is looking for.

No. Provide them with equipment for infiltration and capture instead. They will be able to take Credonia's chain of command and bring them to the World Court. Justice will be served with minimal bloodshed.

Credonia, must I remind you how powerful my alliance with Huzen Hagen Stevid, British Navy and the other nations is? You don't stand a chance if war breaks out yet again. Try to imagine how it looks when chemical missiles rain down on your pitiful nation. In fact, I don't think you want to know the consequences. Your actions may sound hard but when your borders have been breached open we can easily take the softer parts within. This is a very tough situation when it comes to allies and I'm not even counting the terrorist nations who are with us so better start finding some people who are willing to fight an invisible enemy.

Hm... you seem to mistake us for someone who cares about international law? It seems you misunderstand that international law doesn't really apply because the nation in question doesn't agree to international law... in fact most of the international community don't agree to international law.

In fact, I would say that Holy Panooly doesn't answer to international law... so I doubt any court is going to order Credonia to give up their leadership, and if some court did I doubt that Credonia would give up their leadership eitherway. This is because, and I'll be slow so you understand... they...don't...care...about...someone...elses...law.

If I had done anything terrible (not that I would, I have a reputation to uphold) I certainly wouldn't give myself up. So legally I follow Credonia... though I'm not happy they targetted civilians, even if it was a situation of war.

Credonia's punishment, if any, will be that we have lost some respect for their nation... otherwise there is nothing more you can do. They are already at war and if Holy Panooly can capture Credonia leadership then they are welcome to hold them to whatever justice is in their nation.


Of course, I doubt that will happen... looking at the situation the chances of a successful invasion taking place are slim to none, invasions are inefficient and damn near impossible without a huge advantage.

These people are not trying to destroy freedoms. They saw Credonia being an opportunistic homocidal maniac, and have decided to do something about it. However, might I point out the 'terrorist' nations Credonia invaded were highly opressed and abused, and these methods did not work to prevent their attacks. Instead, they were stopped with food drops and diplomacy from yours truly. Point being, you're on the wrong side of the battlefield if your agenda is to preserve freedoms.

OOC: Our OOC political position makes no difference in this, only our IC political position, so don't mix the two.

Meanwhile I fail to see what good will come of trying to charge Credonia with war crimes, I've already explained IC that there is no way to actually arrest him for such crimes as he will not give himself up and he is already at war... the only way to make him see your justice (not his own justice as his law doesn't tell him he's commited a crime) is to capture the leader and take them to your nation.

I doubt anything will come of this, but I would prefer that everyone stopped thinking that the international community has some kind of law... such a law would need alot of nations to agree, which is impossible because at least twice as many nations would automatically disagree. Like Iuthia, who only reckognises Iuthian law and because we are a dictatorship the leader (James deGritz) is immune to any such law.

There are no international laws in NS, this isn't the same Earth as RL, it's only based on RL's physics (mostly) and not RL's history.

There once was a very mean dragon in Muktar mythology. It's name was Credonia, and it would attack all the world, stalking women and children. Then, the people of the world realized they could, together, slay the dragon. So the people of the world went after the dragon, and although the results weren't recorded, the leaders of the different nations got nifty dragonscale crowns afterword.

Morale of the story: If you pick a fight with everyone, everyone will want you dead.

This is really getting stupid now, Even if you put him up for war crimes and so on how will u get him? There is no way unless you invade, he can ignore everything any court says and what they do, he is basically untouchable unless u invade. Its as clear as day, so why bother?

True, but I hope we may look into this? No judge from any international court has made any statements or gave us advise what to do.
17-03-2004, 16:19
I agree with the idea that Credonia is too powerful to bring their leader before an International Court. If someone, who has the power, is willing to invade and arrest their leader then by all means have your way. This is just getting tiresome to hear complaints that fall on deaf ears.

Stop tiptoeing around, If you want revenge get it in your only way and invade, you can put him up for war crimes well done nothing will happen but a court case looking into wasting Millions of your Dollars while he doesn't show and doesn't care, you are powerless, your only way for revenge is 1 way and that’s to invade. If you want your revenge its as clear as day.

OOC: Seeing as you are not threatening him I feel I must caution you that alot of nations could be concidered "terrorist supporters" by your definition of the word.

Now, most of them can understand that getting revenge on a nation that supplied a terrorist group that injured your nation. What they may not like however, is the blatant invasion of nation who just voice their support but don't actually do anything.

If you attack a nation without a very good people ask questions, some of the larger nations may start asking themselves "What if he tries that on one of my allies?" and you will find that trouble can suddenly just loom.

This is why I suggest (OOC of course, like your suggestion to Nilt) that you make damn sure your actions are justified...

Whats more I can find the posts which suggest this is the case but don't quite prove it.

I have noticed that alot of the proof for HP's Terrorism isn't actually IC... one example being when someone posted in his WMD sales thread that they picked up a secret message...

However, I don't know if the proof used in the war against Holy Panooly is fully IC... it may be ok but I'm not sure.
