Chapter 516 They don’t deserve to hear
"Initially, it was just a complaint accusing a priest from the Vatican of sexually abusing children... when the plaintiff was a child."
Adam took out a piece of paper and said it was a complaint. It was actually more like a letter. The handwriting on it was a little shaky and it was completely handwritten. It could be seen that the person who wrote the letter was excited when he picked up the pen.
But everyone can see the letter, but they can’t remember the specific information about the writer on the letter, nor can they remember what the handwriting looks like.
"Starting from this letter, the People's Federation launched an investigation, through direct interviews, access to files, etc. Of course, it also involved the use of some magic. The investigation has been conducted for a total of one month and three days."
Adam narrated what happened.
"Although the one-month investigation is far from fully uncovering all the criminal circumstances, it is enough for the People's League to decide to summon clergy from the Vatican Kingdom - more than 27 countries were involved, and the victims There are more than 10 million of them, including both men and women, and most of them are underage children.”
Adam's voice had completely cooled down by this point, and he looked at the scum below as if he were looking at dead people.
"hiss--"
The sound of gasping resounded all over the world. The joke about the little priest is actually widely circulated in European and American countries, but because of this, it undermines the seriousness of this matter.
When everyone just regards this matter as a hell joke, few people will think deeply about the horrifying truth behind it. This is essentially an extremely vicious and very hidden criminal act. I will think deeply about whether this phenomenon is common.
When they actually hear it, everyone will be so surprised. What they thought was just a joke is actually so serious in reality!
What is the concept of having more than 10 million victims? Among the countries recognized by the United Nations, less than half of them have a population of more than 10 million.
Sexual abuse of children, in particular, has a particularly bad impact. The child's life may undergo drastic changes because of this, and this is not only harm to a person, but also harm to a family.
"Involving multiple countries, more than 10 million victims have been confirmed so far. Such a large-scale crime, sexual assault of underage children, is even more heinous. Therefore, the People's Alliance took over this merged case and prosecuted it for crimes against humanity. Vatican Kingdom!”
Even though Adam's previous words had shocked many people, many people were still shocked even more after hearing this last sentence, mainly the leaders.
An international organization...suing a country? !
Who gave him the right...well...
Suddenly, these people discovered something they had not noticed before.
Why does the United Nations seem so powerless when international conflicts actually arise? It seems to be of no use. It can only appeal but cannot send troops on behalf of the international community.
Because when the United Nations was founded, the United Nations was not given such rights at all, and the United Nations did not have a real army, but only peacekeeping forces voluntarily dispatched by member states.
But the People's Federation...seems to be different!
The people in the think tank flipped through the manual of the People's Federation of China and found out that it mentioned that the People's Federation of People's Liberation Army could intervene in conflicts and international events that reached a certain scale, and even resort to force.
As for how large this scale is, the manual does not say, nor does it say how far force can be resorted to.
And the People's Federation... has its own force!
Indeed, the People's League also does not have an army in the true sense, but there is magic that belongs to the People's League!
The fact that the huge headquarters itself is a battle fortress with its own magic turret is no longer a secret as the People's Federation continues to suppress conflicts in various places. This is part of the People's Federation's own initiative.
It has authority and force, which means that the People's Federation seems... seems... to really have the capital to sue a country!
After all, the so-called prosecution is only worth mentioning if you have the ability to conduct a trial. Otherwise, if you clamor to sentence the other party and others ignore you, what can you do?
At this moment, many people were stunned.
No...there was such an excessive treaty written in the manual, and no one raised any objections at that time?
Ministry of Magic representative: Fuck it, we didn’t even read the manual carefully.
Permanent Council Representative: It’s funny, we compiled this booklet.
Representatives of other major powers: I am laughing to death. The Ministry of Magic reminds me not to die.
Representative from a small country: You’re laughing so hard, you make it sound like my objection is useless.
Islander representative: Well, where can I get the promised food and water?
No matter how people from all walks of life react, Adam has finished speaking, and after finishing his words of prosecution, he followed up with a high-speed divine speech:
"After investigation by the People's Federation, the witnesses and physical evidence are complete. Since the evidence contains memories and physical evidence, the quantity is too large to be displayed. If necessary, you can go to the archives and records room of the People's Federation headquarters to check - special reminder, out of consideration for the victims, check the files A confidentiality contract is required beforehand.”
After speaking, Adam looked at the people below and raised his hand:
"Here, I declare the punishment of the Vatican Kingdom——"
"Wait a minute! Why was it just punished so easily?"
One cardinal was so frightened that his voice broke.
What about the previous process? What about the court hearing? What about the defense part? I request to meet with my lawyer!
People who were previously shocked by the People's Federation's action against a country were shocked again, and this time they were even frightened.
"This... This is a violation of the law! This is an atrocity in the guise of civilization! This... This is..."
Similar language was heard everywhere. Bernard looked at Adam outside the main hall, his face pale but his eyes still firm.
"Judge them by law?"
Adam looked at Bernard with a meaningful look:
"Which country's law do you want to use to judge them?"
"Of course it is the principle of territorial jurisdiction..."
"But they are in the Vatican, how can you catch them and try them? Send troops to arrest people after the territorial trial? Or are you going to let them judge themselves? What if they bribe the country to amend the law?"
Bernard opened his mouth and frowned.
In order to prevent the excessive expansion of the law, it is normal to make various restrictions. There is no perfect law in the world, so when setting and enforcing the law, the least bad one is often chosen.
"The Human Union will not interfere in domestic civil and criminal cases, but will only take action against anti-human situations. Laws and principles are meant to make criminals repent, but when it comes to anti-humanity, there is no need to reason with those things that are not even human. They don't deserve to hear it."
Adam slowly stood up and walked out the door:
"Don't they want a way to deal with it that suits their situation? Then I will give them a trial that suits their conditions!"
Blinking, his consciousness returned to the present. Bernard looked at Adam standing outside the door and reaching his hand down, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of trial was the so-called trial that met their conditions.
