Eurussian Position

Great Eurussia Wed Dec 11, 2013 12:56 am

New Tarajan

We are ready to pay a symbolic payment to Eurussia, but nothing more.

Eurussia believes that with the recent acceptance of the aggressor (New Tarajan) that it is willing to pay the reparations to our government is enough sign that there is NOTHING to debate nor argue before this honourable tribunal in addition to the fact the New Tarajan has no new evidence nor new argument to present to overturn the RECENT COURT VERDICT. However, we believe that this tribunal must cite the aggressor (New Tarajan) for contempt of court due to its blatant threats to dishonor this important institution of the world which should result for more fines for the court and/or more compensation to Eurussia. However, this matter is for this honourable tribunal to ponder and finally decide with.

Furthemore, we would like to clarify with the baseless and persistent request of the aggressor (New Tarajan) for a "peace treaty" with which we will simply INVOKE OUR RIGHT TO SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE, protected by the WA Constitution, not to sign any document, as doing so, will simply show that Eurussia did something against New Tarajan, when there is obviously NONE AT ALL, as affirmed by this Court. There is no war, no reciprocation on our part despite all the aggressor's provocation, no official response on our part despite the aggressor's accusations against us, simply showing that Eurussia have done NOTHING WRONG to New Tarajan to demand us for a baseless peace treaty which has become the basic reason for our government to ask for this honourable tribunal's benevolent conviction. And as we persistently affirm, since the very first verdict of this Court, that the WARNING to New Tarajan not to repeat any further aggression is reasonable.

Nevertheless, we are glad that we are about to conclude this case, and we believe on the impartiality and benevolence of the magistrates of this honourable court to issue a FINAL and EXECUTORY VERDICT to resolve this case between Eurussia and New Tarajan.

We are curious to know if, in the opinion of the Eurussian delegate, the crime of diffamatio is not included in the generic category of "wrong things to do".
And, we wish to underline that we are talking about only symbolic compensations, and no kind of economic damages payment; we are willing to do so only to demonstrate our willingness to negotiate and finally settle this dispute, freeing the Court from this trial, without giving to the government of Moscow any blatant excuse to cry for.

Eurussia simply believes that the Court can now issue its FINAL VERDICT.

New Tarajan Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:38 am

Let us only comment finally, so the Court could better understand our position.

We understand that we acted too quickly, in response of a perceived threat to our national security and an attempt of diffamatio against our navy and our credibility in the international arena. We committed a mistake, and this is the reason why we are willing to pay a symbolic compensation. We are reknown as a responbible actor in the international community: if we made a mistake, we recognize it and we will pay for it.
But it is time for Eurussia to pay for its mistakes too. The Law is the same for everyone.
This is the pillar of the essence, the true essence, of Law. If this pillar is not respected, then no law has reason to exist.
We will submit the final decision to the Honourable Judges of this Court.

We are waiting for the final verdict. Stop saying to the Court what it has and it has not to do.

Eurussia seeks professionalism and calmness from the aggressor (New Tarajan) as we await for the final verdict from this honourable tribunal of the World Alliance bringing an end to this historic, landmark international case between Eurussia and New Tarajan.

COURT CASE EURUSSIA V NEW TARAJAN VERDICT

Justice Ivania and I thank you for your patience. The verdict will now be presented.

The court finds the sovereign nation of New Tarajan to be guilty of waging unprovoked aggression against the Empire of Great Eurussia by way of a naval blockade of its peaceful and sovereign colony Orenburg. New Tarajan violated the World Alliance Constitution, specifically the clause stating all nations have a right to national sovereignty and self determination, by blockading a Eurussian Colony. The court does not believe that the incident regarding a Eurussian submarine that suffered a nuclear malfunction is grounds for punishment as the Tarajani navy had no way of knowing, and it can only be assumed that the Tarajani navy did not recieve a distress signal as no evidence has been provided that they recieved it but refused to respond.

Thusly, for waging an unconstitutional blockade of the Eurussian Colony of Orenburg, the Court of Justice finds New Tarajan guilty of unconstitutional activity and of waging provocative activities aimed at sparking a Eurussian response. New Tarajan is hereby ordered by the Court of Justice to pay the Eurussian government a $100,000,000,000 ($100 Billion) in Euro's for damages incured on Orenburg, and for a hinderence of Eurussian trade and activity. New Tarajan is also hereby ordered to pay the World Alliance Court of Justice $25,000,000,000 ($25 Billion) for disrupting world peace and regional stability as a fine.

This case is now considered dismissed. It will not be open for appeal.

The Kingdom of New Tarajan accept the final verdict of the Court.
However, we underline once again the absence of any reference to the crime of diffamatio against the Royal Tarajan Navy, together with all our other statements in our defence.
We also recognize the violation of two fundamental juridical principles: in dubio pro reo and affirmatio incumbit probatio. We take note of this.
By the way, we thank the Court for the patience and the work.

Europe and Asia Wed Dec 11, 2013 7:26 am

New Tarajan, the Court violated no judicial principles. You do not like the verdict. That, not supposed violation of judicial principles, is the problem here.

This case is closed.

New Tarajan Wed Dec 11, 2013 8:21 am

We respectfully do not agree with this opinion of the Court.

(OOC: honestly, I asked also to a friend of mine who study law, and she confirmed this position. By the way, what is done is done.)

The Empire of Great Eurussia accepts the verdict of the WA Court of Justice and our government will adhere to all its provisions and principles. Hence, we commend Eurasia, Ivania, and Chivalry for their impartiality and for upholding international laws. Thank you.
