DECISION
THE PARTIES
1. Plaintiffs, Ombrians of Kouka and low-ranking officer of
Toukanov Armed Forces (TAF), suffered during the Martial
Law in Toukanov and deprived of rights as human beings.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
AND THE CASE
1. Two main religions, the Boubha religion and Ombri religion, have
coexisted in Atlanpik, a region facing the Atlanpik sea. The
Boubhans insist that all aspects of the society such as economy,
education, family, health, justice, politics, and others should be
guided by the Boubhan Commandments. Nine million Boubhans
and 4.2 million Ombrians lived in the Federal Republic of
Toukanov and Hakova, which was founded as a single state after
World War II. Mr. Daniel Arlets election to presidency in 2009
created turmoil in Hakova due to the realization of his campaign
promise to amend the federal constitution to declare Boubha as the
Federal Republics official religion. He was part of the radical
Boubha party Boubha United Front. The Boubhan-dominated
federal parliament passed the said amendment following his
election. In response, the Hakovan parliament declared
independence on April 10, 2009, then established the Republic of
Hakova. Ombrians serving the Federal Army undertook allegiance
to the new Republic and created the Hakovan Defence Army
(HDA). In at most three months, the HDA unstoppably imported
advanced weapons through Hakovas ports in the Atlanpik Sea.
6. The Hakovan government denied any link between itself and the
FKA but two news agencies stated that the HDA had been
transferring weapons to the FKA through the cross-border corridor
close to Tena since June 23, 2014. Hakova military uniform
symbols were spotted on tanks and trucks by the Boubhans still
residing in FKA-occupied parts of Kouka. Correspondents from
Reuters and AFP that were at the FKA controlled area witnessed
repeated manoeuvres by the HDA at the Hakova-Toukanov bored
including the deployment of hundreds of tanks and thousands of
men towards the border. They also stressed that youngsters from
Kouka travel across the border and were given military training in
Hakova.

General Vande was subsequently surrendered to the ICC and was
charged with:
PROSECUTION
The prosecution argues that the conflict in Toukanov is non-
international in nature. This is due to the fact that a Non-International
Armed Conflict (NIAC) is a type of armed conflict involving two
actors one of which may be classified as a governmental force and the
other as a non-governmental armed groups. In this case, the two
parties involved in the conflict are: the Toukanov Armed Forces
(TAF), the army in Toukanov headed by a supreme military authority
which has the responsibility of commanding all military operations
and; the Free Koukan Army (FKA), a resistance movement organized
by Ombrian veterans.
Furthermore, the prosecution contends that General Gerard
Vande, the Chief of the Defence Staff of the TAF, must be charged
with the war crimes as he is liable in the attack against the civilians
from the convoy which happened on the 10th of November 2014, the
rapes and sexual abuses within the TAF troops and by ordering the
displacement of the civilian population.
