Chapter 419: Blood Gem (39)
The reporter from Le Figaro asked the second question, "Mr. Doctor, what is your official status in this trial? And, how big a difference do you think there is between Europe and China's views on justice and civilization?"
The French generally have a sense of superiority towards China, which was driven into the capital by France. At this time, some irritable people had already cursed loudly, and they were relieved after the curse. However, not all French people are so simple-minded, and some are just relatively high-level people.
The readers only felt a sense of depression in their chests that was difficult to dispel. Some readers who knew professors from the law departments of various universities in Paris went to inquire.
The next day, all French left-wing newspapers published news about the matter and wrote long comments. These left-wing newspapers all raised a question: Have all French legal experts become lackeys of capitalists and imperialism? Those legal experts
Does the independence of the law exist as proposed by the experts? Or is there no so-called independence of the law from the beginning? Or, only when the poor are being persecuted, do the French legal experts who help them have independent and unrestricted rights?
Freedom to persecute?
That morning, that is, the morning of November 9th, French time, all the university law schools in Paris held plenary meetings. Especially in the University of Paris Law School, a university with a long history established in 1200, theology and law are the most important.
The earliest college established. At this time, the conference hall of the University of Paris Law School was filled with law professors and legal experts who graduated from the University of Paris. On the campus, the excited students were not in the mood to attend classes. Some simply skipped classes and joined the students who had no classes.
People gathered outside the law school waiting for news.
Outside the campus of the University of Paris, reporters and people gathered around. The crowd held various slogans, some of which criticized China for being barbaric and arrogant, while others demanded that the University of Paris, as one of the most famous universities in Europe, must not be involved in this matter.
They did nothing. Others criticized the Anglo-Saxons for being so evil that they even committed such naked atrocities as murder.
People with different views gathered together, and conflicts almost broke out in the streets. Fortunately, the police were prepared and worked hard to maintain order.
Representatives from all parties submitted a letter to school administrators who were forced to respond, asking them to forward the letter to the school's management or board of directors.
In the conference hall of the law school, the deputy dean of the law school now knew what it was like outside. When it was his turn to speak, the vice dean immediately said: "We must immediately announce to the outside world that the Paris Law School will be invited to send
A team of legal experts went to China to participate in the International Court of Justice in Asia. Even if we don't respond, other schools will say they want to participate today. At that time, we will be very passive."
People studying law all have professional poker faces. Although many people nodded slightly, no one showed any excitement.
The deputy dean of the law school continued to elaborate on his views. The French legal community had indeed been subject to some pressure and resistance before, and war crimes were not fully disclosed at the time. Law professors and experts knew very well that there must be reaction during the war.
In terms of human behavior, just a few years after the end of the European War, everyone's reaction to this matter was not so strong.
The current situation is completely different. First of all, the number of victims is very large. The number of victims that can be fully counted exceeds 50,000. Subsequent statistics will continue, and the total number may exceed 100,000. Secondly, according to the disclosed investigation content,
The ANZAC did not kill people during the battle, but massacred defenseless civilians in British-controlled areas. This cannot be simply regarded as a general conflict.

The deputy dean of the Paris Law School said in a high-pitched tone: "The most important thing is that the ANZAC troops who committed atrocities have been surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army, and most of their personnel have been captured. It is rare, even unique, that an army that committed violence has been killed.
A situation where the people, the victims, and various military orders and documents are all controlled by the same party.
If we compare it with criminal cases, the perpetrators and tools of the crime were all caught on the spot, and the witnesses, physical evidence, and evidence chain were all complete. The case went directly to the prosecutor's prosecution stage.
Gentlemen, I think that the outcome of this case will not change. However, this case involves several blank areas that are rare or even unique in the judicial world. We at the University of Paris School of Law must not be here.
There's no hesitation at all. That's my opinion."
After saying that, the deputy dean of the law school bowed slightly to everyone and then sat back in his seat.
After hearing this, the chairman who presided over the meeting looked politely around and said: "If there are any objections, please speak. If there are no objections, start voting."
The legal experts all knew that there was nothing to object to, so they did not speak up. The dean of the Paris University Law School was a little unhappy. This was not because he objected, but because he did not want to see the deputy dean make such a powerful speech. The deputy dean always said
They covet the position of dean, and the dean of the Paris University School of Law is indeed not suitable to stay in China for a long time. This requires the approval of the board of directors. But the deputy dean has the opportunity to become the representative of the Paris University Law School...
Seeing that no one said anything, the chairman did not wait long and made a gesture to the secretary. The secretary sent the paper to those who had the right to vote. Everyone did not shy away when writing the content of the vote, because everyone knew that they and
What others will write.
Sure enough, after the vote count, no one objected, no one voted, and everyone agreed to send a team of legal experts to participate in the judicial action of the International Court of Asia.
The students thought that the meeting would last for a long time, but unexpectedly it only lasted for a little more than half an hour. The door of the conference hall opened. The students waiting outside swarmed up and asked, 'How was it?' 'What's the result?' In fact, the content of the meeting was the same question.
Various questions were shouted out.
The law school staff decisively informed the students of the results. The students were relieved to hear that their alma mater law school did not refuse to participate in the Asian Court of International Affairs.
Soon, the law school posted a notice on the school poster board. It also sent personnel to the gate next to the school concierge, which was flooded with petition letters. Because there were too many people outside, the law school personnel did not dare to open the door.
Can you announce loudly to the crowd outside, 'The Paris School of Law has decided to immediately dispatch legal experts to provide judicial assistance to the International Tribunal for Asia. The telegram has been sent, and more detailed news will be informed to the general public in the next two days!'
Hearing the news, the citizens outside breathed a sigh of relief. The left-wing crowd began to sing "The Internationale", 'Rise up, hungry and cold slaves, rise up, suffering people all over the world!...'
On November 9, university law schools in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and other places all issued the same statement as the University of Paris Law School after a short meeting.
That night, the meeting of the French Ministry of Justice lasted until the early hours of the morning. A group of bureaucrats and already bureaucratized legal professionals met until they were exhausted, and finally had to make a private decision. Although this international trial is likely to have a negative impact on the French government
Impact, but based on the current situation, especially since the Sino-British war has been ongoing, China has not shown any signs of fatigue. This war may continue with higher intensity and intensity for a long time. So, France’s participation in the International Court of Asia
The trial action was generally favorable to France.
On November 10, the French Ministry of Justice announced that in addition to the voluntary actions of various university law schools, the French Ministry of Justice will also organize a legal team to provide legal support for this international trial.
