BEFORE THE TRIAL CHAMBER
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
THE PROSECUTOR V. KREFFIT HOGNOSE, NAIRON CANEBRAKE, GALAHAD GARTER,
FLINDER HAGEN, LANCEHEAD CASCABEL
ICC-07/02-01/14
I. The transcontinental country of Ixania is a developing country with a real gross domestic
product growth rate of 7.6. The country shares its borders with Borduria to the northwest;
Brungaria to the west; Arcacia to the northeast; Orsinia to the southeast and Ruritania to the
east. Located at the junction where the continents of Galatea and Wallachia meet, the country
of Ixania has been endowed with an easily defensible peninsular terrain, ideal climate, rich
and generous nature, strategic control of the Straits and strategic location which has made it
one of the coveted territories sought by the colonial powers since the last four centuries. The
country has been bestowed with rich natural resources with its lands dividing the lacework
geography that is most ideal for harnessing of energy resources.

II. Ixania is a federal parliamentary republic comprising of 13 constituent states with the
President being the titular head with a supervisory constitutional role and Chancellor being
the executive head of the government who holds office at the pleasure of the President. The
constitution of the State mandates the observance of secularism in every ambit of governance
along with special emphasis on the postulates of separation of powers, independence of the
judiciary, hierarchy of courts, speedy trial and welfare state. The capital of the State, Brenga
has been a megapole in respect of its historic monuments since last 2000 years particularly
because of its significance in a number of religious traditions namely Bellonism, Helicianism
and Pardism. In the past, this city has served as the ecclesiastical capital of the
aforementioned religions thus making the city a centre of great social and religious conflict.
The population of the country consists of 59 per cent Pardis, 34 per cent Bellonies, and 3.5
per cent Helicians, 2 per cent Atheists and 1.5 per cent others.

III. On June 21, 2010, the President of Ixania, Kreffit Hognose addressed a formal press
conference in Brenga. The event was organised to promote the governments energy deal
with Ruritania, a developed country having 89 per cent majority of Pardis. The two states had


entered into a joint collaboration for their energy needs that comprised of a triple package for
generation of hydro power, nuclear energy, and energy from renewable resources.

IV. In answer to a question at the conference, President Hognose made an explicit statement
against the sanctity of all religions, particularly, where he said that Religion defies common
sense in human beings and the idea of God itself is nothing but a dream, a fairytale which
people hang onto like drowning dames only to assure themselves of some psychological
support in order to brace themselves against the uncertainties posed by death and such other
events that are beyond their understanding. In fact, it will not be wrong to presume that
people who still cling onto the age old traditions of religious philosophies of the old are too
weak to have faith in themselves alone and thus, they need God. This statement agitated the
communities which greatly valued their religious traditions.

V. The Order of Bellona is the religious Governing Council of the Bellonies who have been
functioning as an administrative and quasi-judicial body of the aforesaid religious tradition
since 500 years. Subsequent to the events of the press conference at Brenga, in August, 2010,
the order passed religious sanction against President Hognose who originally belonged to the
community before turning to Atheism, thereby effectively ex-communicating him which
gravely impaired the countrys diplomatic relations with theocratic states that promoted
Bellonism and other countries where the Bellonies were in majority.

VI. The President moved the Supreme Court of Ixania which enjoyed original, appellate and
inherent jurisdiction as per the constitutional scheme of the State against the sanctions
imposed upon him. The Court admitted his petition and the entire Order of the Bellona was
directed to be disbanded on ground that the functioning of the same had overridden the basic
principles of the Constitution and the institution conducted itself in the nature of a parallel
government. This decision caused unrest amongst the Bellonies but the matter was uneasily
cast aside by the Belloni leaders after peaceful processions. On the other hand, the Belloni
majority states particularly Brungaria and Borduria expressed their dissatisfaction over the
verdict which was dubbed as a grave humiliation of the tenets of Bellonism.

VII. On November 28, 2010, Ixania signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (hereinafter SAL
Treaty) with Arcacia, according to the terms of which both the countries were to enter into


arms trade with each other. They were, further prohibited from stockpiling and use of
chemical, biological, nuclear and specified classes of weapons.

VIII. In view of the Energy Deal with Ruritania, President Hognose passed an executive decree
mandating displacement of the 6,000 civilians from the rural areas of the Urgal Range as the
region had been shortlisted for the establishment of the Joint Nuclear Energy Power Plant.
The majority of these people were comprised of the Belloni refugees who had taken refuge in
the region following a coup and persecution of Bellonies in Ruritania back in 1998. The
Belloni leaders came to believe that President Hognose was deliberately working against their
interests. The Belloni leaders organised processions against President Hognose denouncing
him to be a kins bane. They exhorted the Bellonies to teach the Ixanian President the
consequences of indiscretions on his part. A group of Belloni students attacked and killed the
nephew of President Hognose, who was a student at the Macara Central University. His
murder was videotaped and his corpse was displayed at the clock tower of the institution.

IX. The Belloni Resistance Group was organized which indulged in sectarian violence against the
Pardis who formed a majority of the populace in the state of Ixania. This group is also
believed to have recruited children below the age of fifteen to actively participate in
hostilities waged by the group. The group under the leadership of Mr. Lancehead Cascabel, a
Belloni refugee, seized control of Wagnar Square on December 29, 2010, a commercial part
of the capital.

X. The group reportedly comprised of 25 people, 7 of them being below the age of fifteen. The
events of the Wagnar Square remain a mystery as all close circuit cameras in buildings were
disconnected except for one in the park of the main square. A police officer, Mr. Lefay
reported that he saw one of the underage resistance member kill five people near the park and
that he could hear cries of the hostages all night while being stationed outside the square.
Next morning, bullets of an automated weapon were retrieved from the site near the park.
However, the other police officers were unable to corroborate the account given by Mr.
Lefay. They informed the media that Mr. Lefay was facing disciplinary proceedings for
turning up intoxicated on duty on the aforementioned day.

XI. Chancellor Nairon Canebrake, who belonged to the Pardis Community, ordered the Reserve
Central Troops to deal firmly with the rebels and eliminate them all, if so required. The entire


Wagnar Square operation backfired when the Resistance Group misled the troops to fire at
one of the buildings on the presumption that the rebels were hiding in one of its unit. Actually
the civilians, particularly, the Pardis and the tourists were held here and hidden well beyond
the site. The troops later discovered that the rebels had taken 59 Pardis and 14 tourists as
hostages and used them as human shield. The resistance group, including the leader, escaped
capture by the troops. The dead body of one of their comrades was recovered who was found
to have been tortured. The medical examination report of the dead body through the
ossification test revealed that his age could be estimated to be between 14 to 17 years.

XII. Two months later, the Government began deporting Belloni refugees from selected regions of
the country particularly the Urgal region. It ultimately became an international cause clbre.
President Hognose and Chancellor Canebrake, in defence of their Government issued a joint
statement justifying the aforesaid measure taken as a preventive step for the purpose of
maintaining security of the state.

XIII. Meanwhile, the Resistance Group involved in the Wagnar Square incident was traced back to
a village called Pyra in Calatonia, an area adjoining the Urgal region. It was discovered that
almost all the Bellonies, i.e., the citizens of Ixania, contributed one man from their family to
orchestrate the entire operation. The Chancellor sought to secure justice for the victims by
having all Belloni men of Pyra between age 18 to 40 to be executed within a weeks time
from the order of the Supreme Court, collectively, without a regular trial by having a verdict
passed through court proceedings which was not considered proper and fair by many jurists.
The Government officials and the judges who passed judgment maintained that the
proceedings were lawful and that there was substantial evidence including camera footage to
prove direct involvement of all convicted persons. Bellonies below the age of 18 years who
were found to have been involved in Wagnar Square incident were sentenced to life
imprisonment. It was widely believed that all such steps were taken by the Chancellor on the
advice of his trusted friend and advisor, the Ruritanian Ambassador Flinders Hagen.

XIV. The death sentence and collective imprisonment upon the Bellonies of the Pyra village
further fuelled their anger against with the Government. A riot broke out between the
Bellonies and the Pardis in Brenga on March 25, 2011. It was followed by civil disturbances
in the cities of Macara, Radiata and the port city of Val Verde. Large scale causalities were
reported to be sustained by both sides. According to the statistics of Human Rights Initiative,


by April 15, 2011, about 3,000 people had been killed, 1,200 displaced from their homes and
another 800 people gone traceless.

XV. Humanitarian aid was sought to be provided by Arcacia, Ruritania, Red Cross and Red
Crescent. On October 21, 2011, some plain clothed men, whose identity is still in dispute
attacked the vehicles of the officials of Red Cross in Val Verde who were trying to deliver
aid to the afflicted civilians. They brutally killed the officials and set fire to the vehicle along
with its stores. The religious emblem of the Bellonies with the Goddess Bellona and a halo
encircled behind her head imprinted on a red background was found on the site of the
massacre. This emblem was known to have been commonly used by the Belloni Resistance
Group. However, an independent media agency broadcasted an anonymous call made to
them, asserting to be intelligence personnel who claimed that the Bellonies were being
framed so that the Government may prove them to be belligerent to justify their atrocities
against them.

XVI. After the riots were curbed, on November 13, 2011, the Sexual Sterilization Act was passed
by the Government. This Act legitimised all the executive decrees which may be passed in
future enforcing sterilization for the purposes of population control and social reforms,
Within a month, on 11 December, an executive decree mandating sterilization of women
having one child was issued on the ground of population explosion. This led to a huge public
outrage within the country. The opposition came from all corners irrespective of class,
religion and gender; however, it did not deter the Government from implementing the same.

XVII. The Bellonies were adversely affected by this Act because they constituted a majority in the
states of Lavantia, Kretenia, Volvia, and Javia within the federation which were to be subject
to this national policy. The majority of Bellonies being below poverty line followed a general
practice of keeping big families so as to receive more aid and financial assistance. Such
practice was also in tune with their religious precepts. It may be noted that no compensation
was paid for this enforced sterilization.

XVIII. Against the backdrop of the aforesaid events, a conflict arose between President Hognose and
Chancellor Canebrake whereby President Hognose alleged that the Chancellor had
overstepped his constitutional powers and had taken decisions which required his approval.
The Chancellor on the other hand, maintained that President Hognose had misinterpreted the


extent and limitations of his authority and function under the Constitution. According to
Chancellor Canebrake, the Ixanian Constitution only required consultation with President
on matters which may not be a part of the final decision, yet would be taken to be the
sanction of the President when executed.

XIX. After the onslaught of such widespread persecution of Bellonies community, the borders of
the neighbouring countries were swarmed by the Belloni refugees. These refugee camps
witnessed high incidence of scarlet fever. Many died and the residents of the other states were
also afflicted. Due to the huge numbers involved, the States were not able to provide the
refugee camps with enough resources. The refugees suffered greatly. A large number of these
refugees sought refuge in Brungaria, which had a history of animosity with Ixania.

XX. Amidst the internal crisis, Ixania soon faced open threats by Brungaria whose populace was
comprised of the majority of the Bellonies and believed that the Bellonies were being
unjustly persecuted in that country. The intelligence agency of Ixania, Exertus reported that
Brungaria was providing weapons to the Belloni refugees on the border. The Chancellor
acting on the threat beseeched President Hognose to sanction the employment of Vica Porta
Group. It was an independent agency providing private security services. However, its
personnel were often disputed to be mercenary in character as they were recruited from all
the over the continent of Galatea but with a base of the organization being in the independent
islands of Meropis in the Falvian Sea.

XXI. Subsequently, on the night of January 8, 2012, the doors of houses belonging to the members
of Belloni community in the city of Palascus were marked X. The following morning,
persons in plain clothes attacked and butchered the Bellonies of the town and burned down
their monasteries. A few survivors alleged that the police had tried to help them but were
quelled by the well armed attackers who appeared to be highly trained personnel.

XXII. The Human Rights Watch estimated that about 4,500 Bellonies were annihilated and about
1,500 had been displaced. Horrendous atrocities and sexual abuse had been committed
against women and children. There was an evidence of XM-25 Corner Shot Launcher, i.e.,
guns with alternate bullet and grenade shot system being used indiscriminately. The
Chancellor issued a statement offering a consolation and compensation package to the
victims. He promised to have the culprits found and arrested. There was a massive uproar


when the media disclosed that the custom tattoos affixed on the right forearm of the
perpetrators involved in the massacre was a signature of the security service personnel of the
Vica Porta Group.

XXIII. It was reported that Ambassador Hagen had been in Palascus to attend a wedding function of
a friend. This led to the media being suspicious of him. The aforesaid alibi given by
Ambassador Hagen to distance himself from the scene of the massacre was found by the
media to be false. The reports were categorically denied by Chancellor Canebrake,
Ambassador Hagen and the Supreme Commander of the Vica Porta Group, Galahad Garter.

XXIV. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Lao Kappel and Mr. Darcus Gage released certain confidential
documents embossed with the official seal of the Government on IxaLeaks, a freelance
reporting website. These indicated that the X day massacre was actually an operation
orchestrated by the Government. It also disclosed that the head of this entire operation was
Ambassador Hagen. Chancellor Canebrake issued a statement that the documents had been
fabricated by Mr. Kappel and Mr. Gage to defame the Government and innocent people. An
arrest warrant was issued against Mr. Kappel and Mr. Gage. Mr. Gage was taken into
custody; and Mr. Kappel fled the country.

XXV. Another fundamentalist organisation amidst the refugees came forward and called themselves
the Belloni Refugee Militant Front (BRMF), a wing directly under the command of the head
of Resistance Group, Mr. Cascabel. He was believed to have been funded by Brungaria. They
started attacking the forces posted at the border of the Ixania. Exertus also intercepted certain
encrypted messages sent through a protected cyber network fraught with audio disturbances
which indicated that Mr. Cascabel was taking instructions and conducting covert operations
on command of Field Marshall Phineas Lazarus, the commander of Brungarian Armed
Forces. Mr. Darcus Gage, who was facing charges of treason and disturbance of public order,
procured original documents of the Brungarian Thinktank Database, an organization of
retired Brungarian military officials which played an advisory role to the Brungarian
Government. This document was encrypted as well; however, certain syllables decoded by
the Ixanian military personnel indicated that the documents were concerned with the Urgal
region and Mr. Cascabel. Thereafter, Mr. Darcus Gages case was reconsidered and the
charges against him were mitigated accordingly.


XXVI. Meanwhile, protests erupted against the Government in the city of Pyra which had a very
violent start. Private Security Agents hired to protect the Members of the Parliament and
military personnel brutally fired at the crowed instantly killing about 53 people. The military
personnel who refused to fire at the crowd at the behest of Private Security Agents were
summarily executed on the orders of Commander Garter over charges of desertion and
treason. They were even denied to offer a plea of mercy for mitigation of sentence.

XXVII. On December 18, 2013, another attack was launched through tabun gas in massive
concentration in highly population township of Galadra whereof about 73 per cent of the
populace belonged to Belloni community. The Human Rights Initiative report estimated more
than 1,700 deaths and another 5,100 people to have suffered from serious ailments. The
presence of Ambassador Hagen and Supreme Commander Garter on the outskirts of the city
again raised several questions on the veracity of their statements that stressed upon
condemnation of the perpetrators who orchestrated the persecution of the Bellonies in such
a gruesome manner.

XXVIII. On January 1, 2014, the delegation travelled through the Goths Pass to Ruritania where the
International Affairs Conference was being held. On their way back, the delegations
progress was halted due to an ambush laid by men dressed in Red Cross uniform with the
emblem imprinted on their attire and the vehicle. The security officials and the delegates
were caught off guard when they stepped out of their vehicles and nine delegates were
abducted by men in Red Cross uniforms. The delegates abducted included the Minister of
Defence, Minister of Economic Affairs and National Security Advisor. The Advisor was
tortured to extract vital defence and intelligence secrets of the military base in Travolta on the
Ixania-Brungarian border.

XXIX. An investigation report submitted to the Chancellor revealed that defence scientists of the
aforementioned base had either suffered inexplicable deaths or disappeared without any trace
since last five months. The abducted members of the delegation were later executed by men
who appeared to be BRMF militants. The offenders specifically claimed retribution for their
brethren who had died in the Tabun gas massacre. The incident was videographed and sent to
the Chancellor. Shortly after the circulation of the aforesaid video on the media, the BRMF
circulated another video with their leader Mr. Cascabel disclaiming responsibility for the
alleged abduction and murder of members of the delegation. He stated that, All these acts of


belligerence are nothing but a tailored streak of evidence directed towards the Bellonies to
malign us before the international community.

XXX. Thereafter, on January, the 30
th
, 2014, the Brungarian troops marched against Ixania along
with the BRMF. Within 12 days of fierce battle between the two States, Brungaria
vanquished Ixania, bringing the Urgal region under their occupation.

XXXI. On February 5, 2014, a large group of rural Helicians, trapped between the Resistance Group,
the Refugee Front and the Brungarian Army sought to leave for Arcacia through the Kazania
Pass in Calatonia. The religious emblem of the Helicians was somewhat similar to the
Bellonies which was imprinted with a miniature fire-god and the sun on a red background.
The image captured by the satellite, was produced before the Supreme Commander Garter
who mistook their identification for the militant refugees and ordered the use of precision
guided aerial munitions. The munitions hit the spot quite accurately killing about 97
Helicians and four Arcacian border post guards. The true identities of the supposed
belligerents were later discovered and the Government immediately took a stance on
misidentification of the Helicians.

XXXII. Concerned by such gross human rights violation and express violation of the terms of SAL
Treaty, the State of Arcacia, demanded the State of Ixania to halt the atrocious persecution of
the Bellonies. It further demanded the State to prevent gross human rights violations within
its territory or else, it would be forced to intervene. Ixania replied that no atrocities had been
committed from its side and whatever casualties were occurring, was the handiwork of the
belligerents of the Belloni Resistance Group. Ixania further cautioned that any such intended
intervention would be a breach of the countrys sovereignty that would not be tolerated under
any circumstance.

XXXIII. The State of Arcacia, finally decided to intervene with force. On February 25, 2014, the
Arcacian Troops marched against Ixania. The ongoing internal crisis already prevalent had
weakened the capital and it fell within 30 days. The city was temporarily taken over by the
Arcacian Government. Following the intervention, Arcacia sought to institute an interim
government. The Ixanian officials and the leader of BRMF were taken in custody shortly
after the institution of the interim government. The Brenga High Court took cognizance of
the matter against President Hognose, Chancellor Canebrake, and Supreme Commander


Garter, Ambassador Hagen but the Supreme Court of Ixania intervened through a suo moto
action and pronounced judgment on April 29, 2014. The Honble Court held that there is no
evidence against Accused No. 1, 2, and 4, i.e., President Hognose, Chancellor Canebrake, and
Supreme Commander Garter, good enough to bring home the charges as per required
standard of the law and they were, therefore, acquitted. The prosecution against Ambassador
Hagen failed in the preliminary stages of the hearing due his diplomatic immunity. The
Accused No. 5, Mr. Cascabel was placed in solitary confinement and no trial was sought to
be commenced against him.

XXXIV. There was uproar against the verdict given by the Supreme Court in the international
community. The states of Arcacia, Brungaria and Borduria criticized the stance taken by the
interim Government and by the Ixanian judiciary because of the extremity of conditions
imposed on Mr. Cascabel without any trial and the acquittal of President Hognose,
Chancellor Canebrake, Supreme Commander Garter and Ambassador Hagen. The entire
foundation of independence of judiciary in the State of Ixania was questioned. The institution
was branded as a committed judiciary which was believed to have owed its allegiance to the
former Government. The interim Government sought to settle the situation by submitting the
matter to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. The former Ixanian officials
contended that since they have already been tried by the Supreme Court for the alleged
offences, they will not be subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
The charges were framed against the perpetrators of crimes under Rome Statute in the
following manner with the trial to be held jointly:
