Petitioner: Sp. Cllr. Andries van Hoebeek
Petitionee: The Kiel Workers' Council
Reason for petition: I was arrested without apparent reason during a session of the General Council, before being detained for an extended period of time without being told of my charges. I was then put on 'trial' before a 'People's Court.' Said trial has not concluded, but was not public in any way.
Relevant sections of the Constitution: Section IX and X of Article V (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) of the Constitution.
Evidence: Eyewitness evidence, public in "Grassroots" (news organization), of arrest; communications by Consul Katrin Weber to do with trial; eyewitness evidence of Gen. Council being led to trial, without any additional information (also in "Grassroots").
Remedy: The Haanean government has not made any action that would prevent such a thing from occurring again, nor does it have the power to; as a result, I ask that the European Court of Justice ensures that the Kiel Workers' Council follow that which is set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. -
Petitioner(s): D. Julián Sánchez Melgar, Spanish Attorney General
Petitionee(s): King George I, Government of Reitzmag (as an institution).
Reason for petition: Individual recognition by his Majesty King George I from Reitzmag of the UNSR, negotiations with UNSR in Nytthem (Vayinaod), signement of a treaty with the UNSR.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution / legislation: Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen, Section 1: articles 1 and 2; Section 2: article 1.
Evidence: The Reitzmic Government met in Nyetthem, Vayinaod, with some UNSR members. There, a treaty was signed in which it was agreed to get his Majesty King George I to recognise the UNSR in exchange to replace a military ship. This violates the Condemnation of the Coup of Icholasen, which was passed just 3 days ago this meeting took place.
Remedy: Petitionees must pay the costs of the trial, both must pay a fine of 150.000.000 million Euros and 127 hours of community service for King George I. -
Petitioner: Werner Kogler, member of the Nationalrat.
Petitionee: the European Council
Reason for Petition: The European Council, by passing the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen, has violated Section I of the Constitution by obstructing the right of sovereign states to freely join the European Union, as no explicit statement was made in the condemnation that derecognized the Union of Nicoleizian Socialist Republics as a sovereign state.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution: Article I, section II, clause I of the Constitution of the European Union.
Evidence: Text of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen; copy of the debate regarding the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen.
Remedy: 100 hours of community service in the Free City of Europolis for each member of the European Council, without any sort of guard, armed or not. Councillors will not be allowed to carry any arms of any sort when doing this community service. Overseeing shall be done by those who can prove themselves to be without any proficiency in self defense or the defense of others in any way. A public statement shall be made that denounces the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen as unconstitutional.

Petitioner(s): Dragan Trympov
Petitionee(s): Edward Firoux; the European Council
Reason for petition:
Mr Trympov's votes in the European Council were not counted by Mr Firoux on the grounds that he is not a member of the European Council. Mr Trympov contests this on the following grounds:
-
The legislation under which Mr Trympov's status as a European Councillor was challenged, the Elected and Accountable Council Act, is unconstitutional.
-
Mr Firoux, who discounted Mr Trympov's votes, is not a valid Speaker of the European Council, and therefore has no authority to discount Mr Trympov's votes.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution / legislation:
-
Article II, Section I, Clause II (right of member states to appoint Councillors; unconstitutionality of the Elected and Accountable Council Act)
-
Article II, Section IV, Clause I (requirement that the Speaker be a Councillor, invalidity of Mr Firoux's claimed speakership)
-
Elected and Accountable Council Act
Evidence:
-
Proceedings of the European Council, Neurodivergent and Disability Rights (No. 2) Bill, 2020 (Discounting of Mr Trympov's votes)
-
Bondzhinov Report, November 6th, 2020 (Valid appointment of Mr Trympov as European Councillor for Pravoslaviya)
-
Inquista Today, March 22nd, 2020 (Valid recall of Mr Firoux from Europolis pending a by-election that never happened, rendering him unable to fulfil his duties as a Councillor)
Rudi Dzhulyanov
Personal Counsel to Mr Dragan Trympov -
-
Mr Trympov would like to request that the Court issue an injunction ordering that his full functions as a member of the European Council are restored until the case that he has brought to this Court (qv petition dated December 1st, 2020) is resolved. We contend that, without this injunction, the Kingdom of Pravoslaviya is being denied its constitutional right to representation in the European Council.
Please note that, at this preliminary stage, we are not asking the Court to take any retroactive action regarding Mr Trympov's votes in the Council, nor to make any judgement on Mr Firoux's actions. We only believe that Mr Firoux's refusal to recognise Mr Trympov as a Councillor should be disapplied by the Court between now and the resolution of this case, when any injunction would be superseded by the Court's verdict.
Rudi Dzhulyanov
Personal Counsel to Mr Dragan Trympov -
The ECoJ has unanimously voted to reject the petition of Dragan Trympov.

Petitioner(s): the General Court of the Austrian State
Petitionee(s): the Government of the Austrian State
Reason for petition: On 16 December 2020, the Government of the Austrian State unilaterally decided to send a single golden fork to the government of the Union of Nicoleizian Socialist Republics with the express purpose of said fork being to be used in or within a weapon intended for use within a military force. Within the package containing said fork, there was found a note asking for a fork in return for the fork sent. This, in our minds, constitutes two violations of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen - specifically, of the clause forbidding the trade of luxury goods and that forbidding military trade agreements.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution / legislation: The Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen.
Evidence: Testimony from clerks present at government decision; written evidence of such a decision made; the fork in question, the note in question, testimony from clerk who intercepted package as it was sent.
Remedy: In return for said violation, the Government of the Austrian State must pay the exact sum of ten million schillings, in Euros, to the government-in-exile of the United Dominions of Icholasen, otherwise known as Free Icholasen.

Petitioner(s): The Government of the Federation of Istkalen
Petitionee(s): the state known as the United Duchies
Reason for petition: Violations of right of association, in recent mass arrests.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution / legislation: Section XIX of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Evidence:
A) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/16
i. In which the Government of the United Duchies declares the Union of Syndicates a terrorist association. Let it be known, several parts of the state apparatus had been seized by terrorists at the time; however, this has ended. The current government has no affiliation or desire to be affiliated with terrorists or terrorism.
B) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/18
ii. In which the Government of the United Duchies, following the expulsion of terrorists from their shaky control of parts of the state apparatus in Kiel, confirms mass arrests of leftist politicians, at least partially because of "connections to foreign hostile regimes supporting terrorism," which we may infer includes the Union of Syndicates and political parties registered therin, which we have already demonstrated to be without affiliation or desire to be affiliated with terrorists or terrorism. Because of the vagueness of this statement, as well as of the initial declaration of the Union of Syndicates as a terrorist actor, this could very well be on charges perhaps ridiculous enough as to allow for the arrest of individuals simply for having an entirely personal relationship with a civil servant - a clerk, for example.
C) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/19
iii. In which the Government of the United Duchies continues mass arrests for reasons already stated based upon association.Remedy: Release of all those arrested for associating with, at the very least, the Government of the Union of Syndicates; if "The Left" is found, by this action, to be without ties to terrorism, then it must be re-included as a party able to participate in elections. One hundred hours of community service each for the High Duke and Prime Minister of the United Duchies.

Petitioner(s): Gertrude Echteran Children's Choir
Petitionee(s): the Empire of Inimicus
Reason for petition: Violations of right to freedom of expression, of habeas corpus, of freedom from torture.
Relevant sections of constitution: Sections V, IX, XVII of the UDoHR
Confirmed Evidence:
- Presence of lèse-majesté laws in the Empire of Inimicus. Similar comments have been made towards other individuals without being considered slander or a call to violence; it thus can be argued that said laws are an infringement upon the right to freedom of expression. While this specific allegation may not be a triable offense, there is no evidence to suggest that said laws have been repealed, meaning that the Empire may be continuing to violate the principle of freedom of speech. This is the sole piece of confirmed evidence that the Gertrude Echteran Children's Choir can present; however, there exists much more which establish repressive behavior as a constant in the Empire of Inimicus, as well as testimony that points to possible human rights abuses.
Testimony:
- Several violations of human rights are alleged by the reporter Sophie Brierley, who claims to have been detained arbitrarily in violation of the constitutional right to habeas corpus, and also to have been tortured. Additional claims of the detention of other political figures and of the presence of "political refugees," which implies suppression of the right to freedom of expression in the Empire of Inimicus, are made. It must be noted that Sophie Brierley has not been heard from since a time soon after the publication of this article.
Evidence indirectly hinting towards general and consistent repressive behavior in the Empire of Inimicus:
- The Gertrude Echteran Children's Choir mourns the death of these cardinals, even several years on, for no life should be taken away so early. It is not their deaths that we wish to comment on, as well. Rather, it is the mildly suspicious circumstances under which they were living. Firstly, it is stated that they were the victims of repeated threats by some of the supporters of the Emperor of Inimicus. If such supporters do, in fact, threaten those who disagree with the Emperor in such ways, to an extent that they must be hidden away in such away, there evidently exists a repressive environment regarding freedom of expression in the Empire of Inimicus, potentially encouraged by the Emperor. At the same time, the wording in this article suggests that the given Cardinals were in fact being detained and possibly prevented from speaking, which is somewhat worrying, although this is not a line we wish to pursue.
- Possible lack of accountability regarding corruption; it appears as though the Emperor is the only individual who may initiate any sort of audit of himself, which is worrying. While this is not a violation of any right per se, it helps to establish a picture of the general state of affairs in the Empire of Inimicus.
- Contempt for certain democratic principles - of the independent legislature - demonstrated to an extent. Potential propaganda - manipulation of the media and thus the public towards less democratic conclusions is possible. We would like to state that the power of the media is strong, especially in the influencing of people's opinions.
- Suspicious behavior towards protestors. While this cannot be confirmed, given evidence already presented, what is conveyed here may not be the full truth.
Remedy: Arrest of those involved in this repression, especially Emperor Artabanos, for crimes against humanity. While this is drastic action, our analysis of the situation appears to show that the only way these abuses may be halted is through the removal of those involved, who have begun, as shown by evidence, to adopt a cult of personality.
