Carriers of Mercy: Difference between revisions

In areas that the Carriers of Mercy took over and controlled, they typically placed combatants under arrest and placed them in labour camps. Civilian officials often retained their jobs to the extent that their jobs were relevant to the exercise of basic functions required for daily life and for which there were no members of the Carriers of Mercy identified who could fulfil those roles. The policy was to place at least one member of the Carriers of Mercy in positions of control and leadership to ensure that the administrative institutions of the places that they conquered were subservient to the Carriers of Mercy. Many Party Secretaries and other officials who were principally political appointees were removed from their positions and arrested. Because these areas were technically under military occupation, all the law was exercised by military tribunal under the Carriers of Mercy Military Criminal Code.

The Military Criminal Code was a set of laws that formed the basis of the military disciplinary and judicial system. Most matters which were considered crimes were adjudicated by a member of the army of the rank of Captain while a few members of the community who were trusted to the extent that this was ascertainable would advise on the crime. The Warriors of Mercy Gendarmerie was responsible for exercising basic policing functions. Generally, civilian police institutions were placed under the control of the Warriors of Mercy Gendarmerie.
