		The Powers represented at the Berlin Conference gave the king-sovereign a free hand in the political occupation of the Congo Basin, while the treaties made with the native chiefs and the victories won over the Arabs likewise contributed to this end.

		Under the 1993 law, Belgian courts claim to have jurisdiction over violations of humanitarian law under the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols, regardless of the `character' of the conflict, the location of the alleged acts, or the nationality of the victim or alleged perpetrator.
		The Belgian Chief Prosecutor for the Appellate Court argued further that conducting such proceedings in absentia would be prejudicial to the rights of the defense, and even warned against rendering the Belgian legal system a `virtual' forum for frivolous prosecutions if complainants were not required to prove a link to Belgium.
		As amended, the Belgian `Anti-Atrocity Law' allows the Belgian Minister of Justice, in cases in which the alleged victim is not Belgian and the accused's home state upholds the right of a fair trial, to intervene and refer the complaint to that state.
