Indictment and Cumulative Conviction of Curibians and Rembians According to the International Law

Before considering the case in detail, it is important to differentiate between the two main bodies that are required to enforce and establish International law in different aspects. The Classical international law aims to govern the rights, relationships, and responsibilities of the countries where as criminal law usually deals with restrictions imposed to individuals, and sanctions for breaching those prohibition enforced by individual countries and states (Cassese, 2008).

Hence, it is obvious in this case, that both official individuals of these countries and these sates themselves should be held accountable for many of the crimes committed against the humanity by them. In this case, the individuals in the parliament of the Sates of Curbia and Rembia are to be held accountable by the criminal International law. However, there also exist a possibility to enforce sanctions over both the states of Cambia and Rembia.

When it comes to accountability, trial and sanctions on individuals, the international law will consider not just the orders by the parliament members, however, the consequences as a result will also be considered while making a judgment by the international courts. Hence, the very first crime committed by the parliamentarians of both Curbia and Rembia include their attack lunched on the Atanians citizens.

That is chiefly because there were a number of laws and regulations proposed by the Parliamentarians were blatantly violated during the violence period. The first and foremost violation, according to Article 2 and 5, is the killing of innocent and helpless Atanians in a scenario when they had no weapons or defense against the attack. This act alone has breached not just the legal framework of the international law; in fact, this is an open attack on the entire humanity.

The second violation of the international laws, according to Article 5, would include the treatment of the Curbian and Rembian army towards women and children. The fact that the official Curbian and Rembian Parliamentarians did nothing to discourage and disapproved such animal behavior by the two armies, makes these Parliamentarians all the more responsible for the sufferings of the Atanians. Raping Atanain women, torturing them, sexually harassing them were the common practices observed by the Curbian and Rembian soldiers. However, the most barbaric of all the acts was torturing and ...
