..the Tribunal...

ICTY Rules of Procedure

Manual for Practitioners of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

..source : www.cij.org/tribunal/ ...is where those who got us into this shit, should go.

The corner the Tribunal has painted itself into, is leaving too small penal margins between comparatively petty crimes committed by infanterymen earning them ~20 years, and the 25 year maximum. Nothing in the Geneva Conventions mandates a 25 year maximum, the maximum penalty in the Conventions, is Death, second comes the Life Sentence, which is what the Head of the Party Organization and Cabinet Member Walter Richard Rudolf Hess served until August 17'th of 1987, in the Spandau Prison.

Reward POW and indicted personnel reasonably and in compliance with the Conventions for their co-operation. How to, is outlined in Chapter VIII Execution of the [1'st Geneva] Convention, PART VII Execution of the [2'nd Geneva] Convention, PART VI Execution of the [3'rd Geneva] Convention, PART IV Execution of the [4'th Geneva] Convention, of the in articles 85 thru' 91of the Protocol Additional # I, of June 8'th 1977 and / or art. 6 of the Protocol Additional # II, of June 8'th 1977. We'd like to get our own bandits there too.
