The **International Criminal Tribunal for Shinobi** (**ICTS**), or just **Tribunal of Geneva** because of their headquarters' location, is the Shinobi International Tribunal of the United Nations Organization's (UNO) Security Council, and they have an universal authority on Shinobi.

It is both part of the International Residual Mechanism and of the Security Council as it combines in one the role of an International Criminal Court and a Peacekeeping force, managing a special Shinobi peacekeeping force, the Blue Scarves.

The main Headquarters of the organization are located under Geneva's City Hall..

## Description

The Organization is separated in two Chapters, the Peacekeeping force and the International Tribunal. The mission of the tribunal is to investigate, pursuit and judge shinobi and cases involving them according to international conventions adapted for the shinobi world. Both' competences are universal and effective everywhere anytime.

Only members of the Shinobi world can integrate the Organization, and Clergy members and other fanatics in overall can't propose due to risks of their beliefs obscuring their judgement. All members have uniform in work except Judges, but can wear what they want during missions.

The Judges and Proctors are special Agents part of both Chapters, they are ordered to both proceed with cases and to maintain shinobi world peace.

The elements or parts of an investigation, like the witnesses of a crime, or subjects of a paranormal event put under the organization's responsibility must be conveyed to a HQ in order to protect and interrogate them. The members of the organization can also put a particular individual under the HQ's watch.

The Organization disposes of several outposts hidden in capitals or major cities of every important country, one per continent, that serve as centers of activity in the concerned continent for the organization. They include:

* Geneva, Swiss - Headquarters, the Whole World

* Paris, France - Europe

* Tokyo, Japan - Asia

* Moscow, Russia - Russia

* Lagos, Nigeria - Africa

* Washington DC, USA - North America and Mexico

* Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - South America and Caribeans

### International Tribunal

The Tribunal Chapter is the lead, composed of spies just charged to act as investigators and gather evidences and proofs to analyze them, then to proceed accordingly with the necessary procedures such as pursuit and trial. They focus on major actors of conflicts, and work hand in hand with the local authorities to chase down and trial fugitives.

They regroup the Lawyers, Clerks and Jurors.

#### **Admission**

There is two ways to integrate the International Tribunal. The first way is to volunteer as a Juror, an assistant with limited role and unofficial member. The second is to propose to be a Clerk, harder as the candidate will face examinations and be judged on its competences.

In effect, be part of the International Tribunal requires competences similar to a detective's, the ability to discover past facts using present data, critical thinking. The knowledge of the International Conventions and/or a Scholarship in Right can be bonuses that help to integrate.

#### **Working**

Typically, the members do field work to research elements by themselves, and to interrogate the local witnesses, then office work to process the elements and testimonies. As lead of the Organization, the members can meet together at one's initiative in order to debate, discuss about cases. In rare cases, such reunions are places for the redaction of a Code of laws or principles to propose.

#### **Uniform**

The Tribunal's uniform is a typical judiciary outfit during trials : An ample and long black dress with a white jabot, a white silk shirt with ruffled cuffs, dark pants and black shoes. Outside, during office work for example, the dress tends to be removed.

### Peacekeeping Force

The mission of the Peacekeeping force is to bring an end to Shinobi mass conflicts, and ensure a relative peace in their world by the (exceptional) assassination of major threat, the protection of important actors, by ensuring the safety of negotiations, disarming fighters, protecting civilians, protect refugees, demining and ensure the respect of Human Rights. It is composed of varied volunteer shinobi from all origins, formed both for fighting, help and diplomacy, more adapted for the shinobi world than vulgar soldiers.

They regroup the Blue Scarves and Negotiators.

#### **Admission**

To be admitted as a Blue Scarf, only volunteer formed shinobi (not students) can join at the condition that they fight for peace and only respecting orders unless exceptions such as self defense. If strength and power are bonuses that help a candidate, leading skills are also required in order to access high ranks such as captain.

Negotiators, them, have to be charismatic, clever and calm enough in order to deal with negotiations and arrange tense situations without risking them to worsen. They have to be formed for talking and less fighting.

#### **Uniform**

The Blue Scarf's uniform is inspired from the Blue Helmet's, but tuned to a more classical modern style. It is composed of black riding boots, white pants, white shirt and blue overcoat, helmet and scarf. The negotiators wear a classier version with shoes and a hat.

### Judges and Prosecutors

The Judges and Prosecutors are special members inherited from the organization's beginnings that are part of both Chapters and ensure the duties of both, but have more importance and power than them and thus serve as major representatives. There exist no uniform for them.

Typically Kagura or higher, the Judges are divided into Penal Overseers, who watch a continent's geopolitical and judiciary situations; and the Sector Overseers who watch a major sector of the World's working. They are separated into 4 main thematic groups; themed after their role, each have a Forbidden Art, a Judge Art, named after one of the Republican Calendar's months, and have a second title corresponding to their thematic. Due to the Republican Calendar having only 12 months, there is only 12 Judges and a 13th special and legendary one considered the core Judge.

The Prosecutors, having lesser ranks typically, are the Judges' sidekicks who assist them in their role. Even if they are mostly support, they still have authority, equal rights and powerful fighters that assume a major role like them. There is no "independent" proctor, and there can't be more than 1 proctor per Judge.

#### **Admission**

Becoming a Prosecutor depends on the choice of the Judge, and yet officially it should be selected among clerks, outsiders tend to be selected. Judges, them, are examined on their powers and competences, and follow thus a fusion of the Blue Scarves, Negotiator and Tribunal Worker' formations. Due to the major role and limited number of seats, this is a pretty selective role.

## Trivia

* The Organization uses the metric, gram and liter international systems, but surprisingly they use the Republican Calendar. Actually, the Republican Calendar is used symbolically and only by major members to refer to the Organization's beginning, while the Occidental Gregorian Calendar remains the main work calendar.
* The languages spoken in the Organization are mainly French and English, the work languages of the UNO itself.
* The word coming after the title always constitutes a name and is a codename. It is never an adjective, meaning that Ruby in Judge Ruby is a name, and thus the name Ruby Judge is wrong.
