New Caputia Provisional Authority

This article or section is a work in progress. The information below may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change.

The New Caputia Provisional Authority (NCPA) is the transitional military government of the former Bassarid territory of Passas, now known as New Caputia, established following the start of Operation Purple Splendor on 11.VI.1717 AN and the capture of the territory. The NCPA derives its authority from the Humanitarian Assistance and Protection Act of 1717 and Letters Patent issued soon after the Act was passed to create the NCPA. Following its establishment, the NCPA vested itself with executive, legislative, and judicial authority over the New Caputia from the period of its inception until New Caputia is admitted as a Region of Nouvelle Alexandrie by the Federal Assembly.

Programs of the NCPA

Child Integration and Rehabilitation Initiative

Part of the IBKENA program addresses the future of Bassarid children, called the Child Integration and Rehabilitation Initiative. Children under the age of seven belonging to Bassarid families have been declared wards of the state and are being sent to foster homes in Lyrica and Alduria. Children between the ages of seven and fifteen have been assigned to the Honourable Company, where they will start a new life as apprentices, often serving in the ports of Eura.

Adult Resettlement and Integration Program

A key component of the IBKENA program is the Adult Resettlement and Integration Program, which addresses the future of adult Bassarids. The native populations of New Caputia (mainly Caputians, Alexandrians, Haifans, Israati and Wechua) are encouraged to identify Bassarids who held prominent political, military, economic, or religious positions under the old regime. Adults that are indicted will be tried in the Federal Tribunal for Bassarid Accountability and Justice, convened by the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Those Bassarids who successfully pass the investigation process will be granted parole to depart for Corum.

Keltia Command Tribunal for Bassarid Accountability and Justice

The Keltia Command Tribunal for Bassarid Accountability and Justice (KCTBA) was established to investigate and prosecute Bassarid individuals who held prominent political, military, economic, or religious positions under the old regime. The KCTBA aimed to hold accountable those responsible for any violations of international law, human rights abuses, or acts of aggression during the Alexandro-Hammish-Bassarid Confrontation and more recently, the conflict with Nouvelle Alexandrie and its allies.

Officials

The KCTBA was created under the authority of the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie in collaboration with the Raspur Pact. It consists of a panel of judges and legal experts, including representatives from Nouvelle Alexandrie and other countries affected by the Bassarid Empire's actions. The tribunal is designed to be impartial and to ensure that justice was served for the victims of Bassarid aggression and policies. The tribunal is organized into various departments, including investigation, prosecution, defense, and administration. Each department is responsible for specific aspects of the legal process, ensuring that the accused were granted due process and that evidence was thoroughly examined.

Investigation and Prosecution

The investigation department of the KCTBA works closely with the native population of New Caputia to identify and locate Bassarid individuals who held prominent positions under the old regime. The department gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and prepares cases for prosecution. The prosecution department then pursues charges against the accused, presenting evidence and arguments in court to demonstrate guilt and establish responsibility for any crimes committed. During the investigation process, accused Bassarid individuals are interned pending the outcome of the inquiry. If evidence pointed to their guilt, they were indicted and brought before the tribunal for trial.

Defense and Due Process

The KCTBA ensures that accused Bassarids are granted due process and a fair trial. The defense department provides legal aid and representation for the accused and works to ensure that basic rights are protected throughout the legal process. The defense team is also granted access to all evidence and witness testimonies, with the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses, challenge evidence, and present their own arguments in court.

Sentencing and Parole

For those Bassarids individuals found guilty by the tribunal, sentences range depending on the nature and severity of the crimes committed. In some cases, those found guilty of "lesser crimes" are often granted parole to depart for Corum, under the condition that they would not engage in any activities that could undermine the peace and stability of the region.
