T APPLE AC Chrysalis had last tried to infiltrate the royal city of residence during the wedding of the Captain of the Royal Equestrian Guard, around September of 2013.

Red-golden harvest In no other place in the world lies as much unexploited business opportunity as in Equestria - insider tips on how to make a young nation's seeds blossom The assault failed, and the invading force was dispersed. Programmes Chrysalis, while separated from her flock, went into hiding by gaining the trust of an unsuspecting Equestrian civilian. She is accused of charges that paint an all the more graphic picture of the mystical creature. For countless decades, she had been the scourge of the land, having her changelings lash out at hapless victims and possible opposition, beating many, enslaving many, killing many, discriminating solely by the fact that they were not changelings, and utterly defenceless. She had instigated plundering and bumings, leaving entire communities for dead. Few details are known yet, but light will be shed on them in her subsequent trial. She managed to keep her identity a secret for nearly two years before being found out. In the meantime, Equestria had established first contact with humanity, which caused her arrest to be widely publicised throughout the world. According to Princess Celestia, Queen Chrysalis has a long history of agression and imperialism, leading the population under her command to attack and usurp neighbouring communities and nations, including Equestria. That said, Chrysalis is far from broken. A wrathful gleam IS in her squinting eyes, the occasional lunging at her chains and flexes of her limbs; those are subtle Glasses of class Be it fashion or modern music, most influential reminders of her old, vengeful and determined self, who led her subjects from loot to loot, and from prey to artists the equine world brought forth have one common ground - trademark glassware "Chrysalis is a predator.

In her eyes, they are merely some other erior creatures, some of who she erself hac ADS BY GOOoGLE been holding a sway over for a long time. Chrysalis is currently being charged under the Rome Statute, with added amendments originating from the Fillydelphia Review Conference earlier this year. For her, no tide has tumed. Human Ambassadorship Ameriquestrian Diplomatic Business Trust Represent a more united world ! www.db-trust.org The Charges The charges include the crime of agression, multiple accounts of (occasionally planned) genocide, crimes against sapiency (formerly humanity), crime of apartheid, war crimes, and the violation of the sanctity of the mind. - Count 1/2: Genocide and murder of ponies, unicoms, pegasi, gryphons and buffaloes - Count 3/4/5: Aggression, terror and unlawful attacks, taking hostages, pillaging, unnecessary seizing, 'no quarter' policy - Count 6/7: Deportation and imprisonment The latter, a recently added amendment, interdicts the use of 'mind control', which Chrysalis used to subdue resisting opponents. Count 8/9/10: Enslavement and insapient acts Count 11/12: Violating the sanctity of the mind Captivity and trial Count 13: Persecution and crime of apartheid On Monday morning, the plane carrying Queen Chrysalis touched down at Rotterdam The Hague Airport, from where an armoured motorcade brought her to the Haaglanden Penal Institution in Belgisch Park, where she will await the start of the trial. The regent will be kept in a cell specifically designed to hold such a physically imposing creature. It does, for one, contain measures to prevent the use of magic. According to the director of the ICC Detention Centre, Otto Mjoberg, Chrysalis has indeed been acting "antagonistic" and "rampant" ever since her arrival, denying the court's bailiffs any form of cooperation. The trial itself is expected to be held in the Court's Permanent Premises in the former Alexanderkazerne, and the pre-trial chamber is due to be in session on the 31st of this month. The proceeding will be headed by a three-judge panel consisting of the Ugandan Jessica Suruma, the Irish Colm Mullan, and the Equestrian magistrate Lexy Fori. GETTY Queen Chrysalis is handed over to UN Peacekeepers in Canterlot and secured for the transport under the surveillance of the Captain of the Royal Equestrian Guard, Shining Amour (b,r). The Queen's defence will be supplied ny the ICC as well, namely through the Swiss ICC defence counsel Alexander Estermann.

Criticism of the trial Already in the weeks preceding the decision to trial the Queen in The Hague, there has been a tremendous political and legal backlash from various UN member countries. The main point of criticism was the nature of the defendant and of the crimes committed. It has been argued that Chrysalis' motivation behind her action was not as egregious as popularily believed, and is even less so in the eyes of non-humans than the Rome Statute. Nazmi Delikaya, an equinologist at the University of Istanbul argues that the supposedly malevolent nature of changelings is solely dependent on their survival instinct rather than on any conscious desicion-making. "It would make as much sense as persecuting cats for the murder of mice." he stated in a newspaper editorial released in the Hürryiet. The ICC's Prosecutor's Office however disagreed, referring to the facts submitted for the case. An official statement asserted that the crimes committed were the result of "drawn-out planning" and were carried out with "willful efficiency", by creatures "sentient enough to distinguish 'necessary' from 'excessive'. Queen Chrysalis herself has been subject to the same and more accusations, as she is popularly seen as the unquestioned leader, and essentially as "the queen of a [bee] hive". With that said, the Queen is considered innocent until proven guilty, so as of this point, the incriminating evidence has yet to turn out pivotal. A subject of controversy has also been the decision to the trial itself. Queen Chrysalis had been the ruler of the changeling population for a nondescript but long period time before Equestria's existence was even acknowledged by a human state. Accordingly the Rome Statute declares that only offences may be prosecuted that actually fell into its jurisdiction by the time of its initiation. It has been suggested that the trial itself has merely been an attempt of the UN to gain the favour of the Equestrian civilisations to instill confidence and to promote long-term cooperation with the UN. The Doctor of Jurisprudence Jose Alvarez sees links between this suspicion and the active Equestrian participation in the trial's legal process, He stated that "In the face of all political niceties." it could become a "Kangaroo show trial" for the changeling regent herself.

Neil Glover 16TH NOVEMBER 2015 - 18:10 +3 I have skimmed through some of the previous comments, and all I can say is, I disagree. Violence, injustice and oppression come out in many forms, so why among intelligent equines? not also Ever since I fought with the Desert Rats in Kosovo, I know how high the stakes are when fighting tyranny. The UN is justified to trial an equine just like a human. If the Equestrian island wants to be part of the world community, they've got to play after our rules. For me, the only risk is that this Queen Chrysalis could get off too easily. 306. bridgekeeper3 16TH NOVEMBER 2015 - 17:36 +1 This whole thing is really polarizing. Then again, most news that come from Equestria are (really!) mixed bags. I understand that Queen Chrysalis' actions are morally questionable, she is a warmonger and maybe a racist (or speciesist, dunno). But really, who are we humans to judge this? She is not a human, and I think she would be much better served at an Equestrian court-by her species' (racial?) equals. It's a thing just like with magic or flying. Keep this sort of things to their own likes, it keeps the world easier. No offense equines! 279. TomTov 16TH NOVEMBER 2015 - 15:48 +2 what is there to say but "good start"? this queen of changelings is is going to made an example of what we humans deem justice. equestria is, from what i've gathered, really unstable. there are many opposing factions, rabid than it should have. | ideologies and powerful magic giving that all much more gravity it's great that some strong organisation like the un steps in and cleans things up. i was always a bit skeptic of the equines and their pseudo-monarchies. rly, the answer is to teach them a modern world view. start by arresting the tyrants!
