Western Sahara v. r/home, Empire of Greater Gex

***Autocracy of Western Sahara v. Nation of r/home, Empire of Greater Gex*** is a war criminal trial filed by Sayori on behalf of Western Sahara to the Empire of Greater Gex and r/home. The lawsuit was filed after r/home Leader Ian and Greater Gex Emperor Luke attacked Western Sahara using several withers.

## History

### Background and filing

On November 24, 2021, as a result of Western Sahara violating the Treaty of Bombs and stealing from the Gexan ghast farm, the Empire of Greater Gex and r/home attacked Western Sahara using several withers. Despite Western Sahara also attacking r/home using withers, they were angered, and threatened to sue Gex and r/home in the International Court of Law.

The case was presented to the Director-General of the United Nations, Omni-Man, the same day, who accepted it into the court.

The same day, all three nations appointed judges to the international court: Greater Gex appointed Erin, r/home appointed Ian, and Western Sahara appointed Diamond. Both r/home and Western Sahara later changed their judges to Grian Briffin and Spibinator, respectively.

On December 11, Greater Gex withdrew Erin as their judge, and instead appointed Alice a few days later.

### Trial

#### Arguments

On December 13, 2021, Ian, Luke, Sayori, and judges Grian Briffin, Alice, Clippy, and Spibinator, as well as Omni-Man, met up in the Polaris Court, where Grian declared the trial to be in session.

The defense was the first to deliver their opening argument. Ian and Luke argued that their war crimes should be obsolute, or down-played, due Sayori having committed more war crimes as a result of violating the Treaty of Bombs. Sayori then issued her opening statement, where she disagreed with the defense, thinking that Luke and Ian should be found guilty of war crimes due to summoning several withers in Western Sahara.

After the opening statements, Luke presented CoreProtect logs to prove that Sayori had attacked the Lancer Fanclub, a violation of the Treaty of Bombs. Luke also presented several screenshots to prove the treaty violations, and was then asked by Ian to read out the Treaty of Bombs. After examining the treaty, it was concluded that Sayori had committed 17.5 war crimes through violations, with Alice adding in an additional war crime as a result of spite. Greater Gex and r/home were also have found to have committed 2 war crimes through treaty violations.

After examining the treaty, Luke called Ian to the stand, asking him to recollect the events of the Third Taliban Headquarters Attack. After accusing Sayori of the attack, Ian called Luke to the stand, and asked him to transcribe the events of the Fight of the Withers.

#### Verdict

After both sides had made their arguments, Omni-Man asked everyone to leave the courtroom as the judges were contemplating the verdict. After a few minutes, the defense and prosecution was called back into the courtroom, where Omni-Man announced that all four judges had found Sayori guilty of several counts of war crimes.

After hearing the verdict, Ian, Luke, and Sayori all exited the courtroom once again. However, after a while, they all went back in again for unspecified reasons, where they found all the judges dead, including Grian and Clippy, who had both lost their final canon life as a result of the massacre. Everyone, however, did not pay this much mind, instead favoring to leave the courtroom to sign a peace treaty to officially end the Fourth Halal War.

### Aftermath

*Main article:* Treaty of Tesco
Following the conclusion of the trial, Luke, Ian, Sayori, and Omni-Man, all went to the destroyed Tesco in the Republic of Polaris, where they signed the Treaty of Tesco, officially ending the Fourth Halal War, as well as establishing an alliance between the Lancer Fanclub, r/home, Greater Gex, and Western Sahara.
