I think it goes without saying that breaking any sort of law has an implication of crime, so it follows that breaking a war law counts as a war crime. Therefore if someone commits a war crime the community can go through the process of trying said individual as they would any other crime.

(Apologies; I'm not supposed to post here but shall do it anyway to add some clarification)

So, there is precedent that the breaking of the rules of warfare shall invite enforcement by way of a criminal case (i.e a war crimes tribunal). One of several reasons that these laws make sense as part of the International Rules of War Act is that (when we finally get around to ratifying the relevant Act again) the Act includes proposed language drafted by me that should meet with no conflict:

Quote:
War Crimes

Individuals or forces found to have committed actions in the course of warfare illegal under either the formal definition of War in the International Rules of War Act or the Mercurian Criminal Code shall be liable for trial as war criminals. Trials may take place at the discretion of the Imperial parliament, generally after the cessation of hostilities.


As The Wolf Laws would be under the International Rules of War Act, their contravention would be covered by this umbrella language and thus explicit restating that you can be punished for breaking them would indeed be redundant.

Thank you Nick for the elucidation. I believe everything to be in order after this clarification. I vote in favor of this law.
