After the test, the two are called in to assist with the first delivery of the new wanzers to the Japanese Maritime Defense Forces Base Yokosuka. The story begins in the year 2112, 10 years after the end of the Alordesh coup in the Oceania Cooperative Union (OCU), and takes place in Japan, parts of Southeast Asia and in the People's Republic of Da Han Zhong (parts of China and Taiwan) where players assume the role of Kazuki Takemura, a wanzer test pilot who's tasked to evaluate a new prototype wanzer made by Kirishima Heavy Industries (KHI) in Okinawa alongside his high school friend and fellow test pilot, Ryogo Kusama. The game is a sequel to Front Mission 2, but has little to no connections to it (same goes with Front Mission). It was first released in Japan on Septemwith a release in North America on February 20, 2000, followed by Europe (and PAL-affiliated countries) on August 11, 2000. The accused were found guilty of the war crimes charged.Front Mission 3 is a Real Robot Strategy RPG video game published and developed by Square Enix (back when Squaresoft was around) for the PlayStation console, with a remake set for release on Nintendo Switch in 2023. He added that the right to punish the perpetrators of such an act had clearly been recognized for many years. He also stated that to fire so as to kill helpless survivors of a torpedoed ship was a grave breach of the law of nations.

In summing up, the Judge Advocate underlined that it was a fundamental usage of war that the killing of unarmed enemies was forbidden as a result of the experience of civilized nations through many centuries. The Court held that there was no case of justifiable recourse to the plea of necessity when the accused killed by machine-gun fire survivors of a sunken ship, in order to destroy every trace of sinking and thus make the pursuit of the submarine improbable. Four members of the crew of the German U-boat were accused of having violated the laws and usages of war by firing and throwing grenades on the survivors of the sunken ship. The Eck case (The P eleus Trial) before the UK Military Court at Hamburg in 1945 concerned the sinking, during the Second World War, of a Greek steamship by a German U-boat on the high seas and the subsequent killing of shipwrecked members of the crew of the Greek boat. I am not sure that the provisions relating to the field of application of Protocol I are capable of ever becoming a rule of customary international law, but I need not decide that point today. Here and there someone says that it may one day come about. No writer has been cited who supports this proposition. On what I have heard in argument I disagree with his assessment that there is growing support for the view that the Protocols reflect a new rule of customary international law.

I have not been persuaded by the arguments which I have heard on behalf of the accused that the assessment of Professor Dugard, writing in the Annual Survey of South African Law (1983) at 66, that “it is argued with growing conviction that under contemporary international law members of SWAPO and the ANC are members of liberation movements entitled to prisoner-of-war status, in terms of a new customary rule spawned by the 1977 Protocols”, is correct. Once all this has been shown it would have to be demonstrated to the Court that the accused conducted himself in such a manner as to become entitled to the benefits conferred by Protocol I on combatants, for example that, broadly speaking, he had, while he was launching an attack, distinguished himself from civilians and had not attacked civilian targets. If it has been so incorporated it would have to be proved by one or other of the parties that the turmoil which existed at the time when the accused is alleged to have committed his offences was such that it could properly be described as an “armed conflict” conducted by “peoples” against a “raist regime” in the exercise of their “right of self-determination”. If so, it is argued that it would have been incorporated into South African law. Nevertheless, I am asked to decide, as I indicated earlier, as a preliminary point, whether Protocol I has become part of customary international law. South Africa is one of the countries which has not acceded to Protocol I. Prohibition of Certain Types of Landmines.
