The Joint Tribunal on Crimes in and for the Lower Elwynn, also known simply as the Joint Tribunal or as the Shiro-Ransenari Tribunal is an international court established by the Second Treaty of Teldrin, with the purpose of investigating, charging, and trying major crimes conducted by the Guttuli Protectorate and its allies and associates.

On 2.IX.1684 AN, the Joint Tribunal formally assembled in the City of Teldrin to begin proceedings. It quickly became clear that the list of people and crimes to be investigated were so numerous that the Joint Tribunal issued instructions on 23.IX.1684 AN for the prosecution to begin dividing cases up by category and began drawing up the necessary paperwork to enact Article 1, Section 6 of its charter, to create subsidiary tribunals.

Subsidiary Tribunals

The first two subsidiary tribunals, on Apollonian and on Keltian Nationals, were opened on 24.IX.1684 AN to put the broad range of investigations and evidence collection to order. At the opening meeting, Cassian Holly-Wythe delivered a speech, in which he committed the Tribunals to deliver evidence to foreign states with whom Shireroth and Ransenar had firm and trustworthy relations, so that they may investigate and prosecute the criminal behavior uncovered by their investigations, rather than for the Tribunals to pass judgment upon foreign nationals. The obvious exceptions to these were non-state actors and foreign nationals of states with whom neither Shireroth nor Ransenar could invest the necessary trust that justice be served upon those who would have aided in the brutal and horrific acts that have taken place in the Lower Elwynn these past thirteen years.

Joint Tribunal on Apollonian Nationals

This tribunal's focus was on Apollonian Nationals, i.e. foreign ideological supporters, financial backers, front companies, merchant organizations et al. from or operating within the Apollonian Continent who had meaningfully provided material and morale support to the Guttuli Protectorate in such a way as to aid in its criminal acts.

On 22.XII.1684 AN, the Joint Tribunal on Apollonian Nationals issued 15 indictments for trial to be held in Teldrin. It further delivered evidence to the authorities in Craitland, Floria, Jingdao, Krasnocoria, Senya, and Thracistan for those nations to investigate and prosecute as their discretion. Evidence related to criminal acts committed in states or by nationals of states primarily located in Benacia were recategorized for such a future tribunal, or otherwise shelved due to government policy regarding communications with said state.

Joint Tribunal on Keltian Nationals

This tribunal's focus was on Keltian Nationals, i.e. foreign ideological supporters, financial backers, front companies, merchant organizations et al. from or operating within the Apollonian Continent who had meaningfully provided material and morale support to the Guttuli Protectorate in such a way as to aid in its criminal acts.

On 23.XII.1684 AN, the Joint Tribunal on Keltian Nationals issued 24 indictments for trial to be held in Teldrin. It further delivered evidence to the authorities in Wechua for those nations to investigate and prosecute as their discretion. Evidence related to criminal acts committed in states or by nationals of states primarily located in Benacia were recategorized for such a future tribunal, or otherwise shelved due to government policy regarding communications with said state.

Joint Tribunal on the Southeast

This tribunal's focus was on Euran and Corum Nationals, i.e. foreign ideological supporters, financial backers, front companies, merchant organizations et al. from or operating within Eura and Corum and the surrounding islands, who had meaningfully provided material and morale support to the Guttuli Protectorate in such a way as to aid in its criminal acts.

On 20.I.1685 AN, the Joint Tribunal on the Southeast issued 14 indictments for trial to be held in Teldrin. It further delivered evidence to the authorities in Alduria, Constancia, Passio-Corum, and Thracistan for those nations to investigate and prosecute as their discretion.

Joint Tribunal on the Southwest

This tribunal's focus was on Cibolan and Tapferite Nationals, i.e. foreign ideological supporters, financial backers, front companies, merchant organizations et al. from or operating within Cibola and Tapfer who had meaningfully provided material and morale support to the Guttuli Protectorate in such a way as to aid in its criminal acts.

On 20.I.1685 AN, the Joint Tribunal on the Southwest issued 10 indictments for trial to be held in Teldrin. It further delivered evidence to the authorities in Craitland, Natopia, Ralgon, and Senya for those nations to investigate and prosecute as their discretion. Evidence related to criminal acts committed in states or by nationals of states primarily located in Benacia were recategorized for such a future tribunal, or otherwise shelved due to government policy regarding communications with said state.

Joint Tribunal on Benacian Collaboration

This tribunal's focus was on collaborators based in or nationals of a Benacian state, i.e. ideological supporters, financial backers, front companies, merchant organizations who had meaningfully provided material and morale support to the Guttuli Protectorate in such a way as to aid in its criminal acts.

On 14.III.1685 AN, the Joint Tribunal on Benacian Collaboration issued 108 indictments for trial to be held in Teldrin. By the time that indictments had been issued, half of the indictees had already been taken into custody by Shireroth, Ransenar, The Elwynnese Republic, Drak-Modan, Sanama, and the Unified Governorates of Benacia. The most noteworthy indictee was Johan Anderion, who had renounced his loyalty to Elwynn in order to serve Francia, and had used his various positions in its foreign ministry to negotiate military transfers, trade relations, and establish personal connections between high-ranking Guttuli Protectorate officials and many of the other collaborators on the docket.
