The members of the Imperial Chamber, which was created by the diet in 1495 in order to serve as such a court,2 were therefore the agents of the Empire, and not of the emperor.

 An Imperial Criminal Court   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is to be emphasized, that without the existence of the proposed international criminal court, there already exists the recognized right and obligation of nations to establish courts, under the same authority of natural law as the law of justified warfare--courts which do not breach the principle of national sovereignty.
The creation of such an international court returns civilization to the ancient and feudal state of affairs, in which a head of state of a participating nation, or several such nations, is subject to the overreaching control of an ultramontane, hence imperial authority.
In this case, the court has arbitrarily adopted a ruling, contrary to the essential facts of the case, exempting the culpable external powers from their responsibility for the state of civil warfare forcefully introduced, from outside, to the nation whose affairs are being scrutinized.
