Dr. William Blunt Sr. Esq. (69) had been asked to represent Libertas Omnium Maximus in the Truth & Reconciliation Commission only three months prior. There was no official literature as to who would represent the Maximusian Government in an international legal case as this was, surprisingly, the nation's first international case in over 200 years. Ultimately, after much debate, it was decided that the current Solicitor General, Dr. Blunt, was the best candidate. He had been involved in dozens of extremely significant LOM court cases even before being asked in 2016 to become the Solicitor General of LOM. In short, he more than knew his way around the court room.
A member of his legal team, Alice Jones (56), who's nephew had just returned from his tour of duty in Lauchenoiria, nodded to him as he stood from the LOM Legal Team's table. Slowly he made his way to the mahogany podium, adjusted the microphone to better suit his relatively tall height, and began in his deep baritone voice:
"Your honor," he began curtly, "The Nation of Libertas Omnium Maximus would like to lodge their grievances against the following nations and/or individuals:"
The room, which was already tense to say the least, seemed to tense further than seemed imaginable.
"The Matriarchal Nation of Kerlile, for heinous and irrefutable war crimes including the Abuse, Execution and Torture of Maximusian Armed Force Members while they were being detained as POW's in Kerlile,
Colonel Chloe Conde, for the willful orchestration of said abuse and torture of POWs, along with ordering the coordinated attempt to assault the Maximusian Congressional Hall,
Additionally, Joanna Greenwood, for condoning an coordinating said abuses, tortures, and executions,
Staff Sergeant Melanie Chevroux, for directly coordinating the assault on Maximusian Congressional Hall, aiding a know fugitive, inciting terrorism, and organizing a terrorist cell."
Blunt exhaled deeply. All in a days work, he thought quietly as he stepped down form the podium, making a point to make eye contact with each Kerlilian representative. He smiled, this would be fun. He slowly rounded the cherry-wood table that he would be calling home for the near future, took a seat, opened file that had been placed on in-front of him, and slowly read the memo, waiting for the next nation to be called to state their grievances. For the Maximusian Legal Council, the TRC trials had begun.
