The Principles of National-Socialist
Law
I: The first, and fundamental, principle of National-Socialist law is that
there are only honourable and dishonourable deeds, with dishonourable deeds
being the concern of National-Socialist laws. That is, there is no concept
of "crime" as "crime" is now understood in modern societies. National-Socialist
laws thus define what is dis-honourable.
II: The second principle of National-Socialist law is that the penalties
for committing dishonourable deeds should be compensatory, rather than punitive,
and involve: (1) exile of those found guilty of dishonourable conduct; (2)
compensation by the guilty person, in goods, or money, of the victim of the
dishonourable deed, or of the family/relatives of the victim. If the person
found guilty of having committed a dishonourable deed or deeds has little
or no goods or money then they can give their labour for a specified period.
Imprisonment is reserved for serious deeds of dishonour and should never
exceed a period of one year, with all those sentenced to imprisonment being
given the option of exile instead. As an alternative to all the foregoing,
a penalty of work serving the community for a fixed period of not more than
six months is permissible.
Only these types of penalties are permitted by National-Socialist law, for
only these are honourable, fair and just. The death penalty is expressly forbidden.
Exile can be of two kinds: Greater Exile, where the person is exiled from
the homeland for the rest of their life; or Lesser Exile, where the person
is exiled for a period of three years.
Someone who has been exiled is an outlaw: outside the protection of National-Socialist
law.
III: The third principle of National-Socialist law is that an accusation
of dishonourable conduct - that is, of someone doing a deed which has been
defined, in law, as dishonourable - must be made: (a) in person by either
the victim of such a deed, or by the family/relatives of the victim; and (b)
in public, in front of several witnesses.
That is, National-Socialist law is concerned only with dishonourable actions
between individuals: with deeds which are actually done in real life and which
affect an individual or individuals. Thus, there is not and can never be,
in National-Socialist law, (a) any prosecution of a person by some "Institution"
or Government or officials of these; (b) any prosecution for something which
has not been committed; (c) any such thing as a dishonourable deed committed
against some "Institution" or some "Government": that is, no such thing as
a "crime" against the State.
There is thus no such thing as "conspiracy" in National-Socialist law, just
as individuals cannot be prosecuted for "intending" to commit a dishonourable
deed.
What must be proved in an National-Socialist Court of Law is that the accused
did do the dishonourable deed they are accused of. An intention to commit
such a deed is not and never can be contrary to National-Socialist law.
IV: The fourth principle of National-Socialist law is that every individual
has the right to defend themselves, their family, and those to whom that individual
has sworn, before witnesses, an Oath of Loyalty, and the right to use lethal
force in such defence.
Should an individual or individual be harmed or injured in such defence,
then it is the right, of that individual to seek redress from the individual
who has harmed or injured them. Should an individual be killed in such defence,
then the family/relatives of that individual have the right of redress.
This redress consists either of accusing, in public, the person of dishonourable
conduct, or of a direct challenge to a duel or a trial by combat.
V: The fifth principle of National-Socialist law is that disputes between
individual - involving injury or any other matter - may be settled through
either a duel between the individuals involved, or by a trial by combat between
those involved.
That is, it is a fundamental right, and duty, of the individual to be responsible
for themselves, their family, and those given an Oath of Loyalty, and to seek,
if necessary, personal vengeance and satisfaction, through a duel or trial
by combat. Justice, for National-Socialist law, is a matter of honour and
of being seen to be fair.
What matters, what is important, for National-Socialist law is the personal
honour of the individual and the right, and duty, of the individual to defend
their own honour. This right and duty cannot be taken away from the
individual by, for example, the State, for that would be contrary to National-Socialist
law, a denial of the freedom of the individual based as this freedom is on
personal honour, and personal responsibility to defend that honour.
National-Socialist law thus accepts that a duel, or a trial by combat, is
an honourable way of settling disputes between individuals.
In the matter of duels and trial by combat, National-Socialist law specifies
that there must be an independent referee, Umpire or judge, at least two independent
witnesses, and that such duels and trials be conducted in an honourable way
according to custom. National-Socialist law affirms that should any person
be injured or killed in such a duel or trial by combat then that is their
own responsibility. That is, National-Socialist law considers such duels
and such combats - when performed honourably according to custom - as honourable
deeds.
VI: The sixth principle of National-Socialist law is that anyone publicly
accused of a dishonourable deed or deeds has a right to either challenge the
person making the accusation to a duel, or of accepting a trial in an National-Socialist
Court of Law.
Should the person so making the accusation agree to a duel, then the matter
is considered settled, according to National-Socialist law, by the outcome
of that duel provided it is done in an honourable way.
VII: The seventh principle of National-Socialist law is that an individual
accused of any dishonourable deed or deeds, who has accepted a trial in an
National-Socialist Court of Law, can either elect to have their case heard,
in public, with witnesses called, or elect for a public trial by combat between
the accused and a member or relative of the family of the person who has made
the accusation.
It is up to the Court to ensure that such a combat is fair: that is, that
the two combatants are fairly evenly matched in skill and physical strength.
If the accused accepts a public Court, then they are bound by the verdict
of that Court. That is, there is no appeal. Thus, if the accused is found
guilty, then they must accept exile, or pay whatever compensation is demanded
by the Court. According to National-Socialist law, failure to pay such compensation
within the time specified by the Court means the immediate exile of the person,
with the type of exile being decided by the Court.
VIII: The eighth principle of National-Socialist law is that a public trial
involves an accusation made by one individual against another individual before
a Jury of twelve honourable individuals, with their being a presiding Judge.
It is the duty of the Jury to judge the case on the evidence of independent
witnesses, and after hearing arguments from the accused and the person who
has brought the charge. The accusation must be supported by the evidence of
independent witnesses: if there is no such evidence, the case is dismissed.
It is the duty of the Judge to pass sentence according to the principles of
National-Socialist law.
Thus, according to National-Socialist law, the people who should prosecute
a case, and who should defend an accusation, are either the two individuals
involved - accused and accuser - or members/relatives of their families. That
is, someone accused of some dishonourable deed or deeds must either defend
themselves in such a Court, or have a member/relative of their family do
this. The same applies for the person bringing or making the accusation: they
should if possible present their own case, or have a member/relative of their
family present it.
It is also the duty of the person who believes a dishonourable deed has
been done to them - or the members/relatives of their family - to find and
accuse the person responsible, if such a person has not been seen and identified
during the deed, and to find any witnesses to the deed.
National-Socialist law thus does not accept the absolute necessity
of "professional lawyers" or "solicitors", regarding such a necessity as dishonourable
and a negation of the liberty of the individual. All the proceedings should
be understandable by ordinary people, and involve only the direct evidence
of witnesses, whether or not a deed is dishonourable according to National-Socialist
law, and whether or not such a deed has been done by the accused.
An independent witness is defined in National-Socialist law as a person
who is not a member or relative of either the person accused or of the injured
party, and who is not bound by an Oath of Allegiance to either the accused
or the injured party, or to any member of their families.
Both the Judge and Jurors at such a trial must also be independent by the
same criteria, with both Judge and Jurors expected to have proved and be known
for their honour by their deeds, their work, their service to the community.
IX: The ninth principle of National-Socialist law is that if a person
who has suffered a dishonourable deed according to National-Socialist
law has no living family members or relatives, then it is the duty of
an honourable person in the community to act on their behalf, and so find
and accuse the person they believe is responsible if that honourable person
sees such a deed committed, or sincerely and justly believes that a dishonourable
deed has been committed.
The person who so begins to act is bound by the rules of National-Socialist
law: that is, they must present the case themselves, and can be challenged
to a duel or a trial by combat by the person they accuse.
This honourable duty of acting on behalf of a person who has no living family
members or relatives, or whose family members or relatives cannot be traced,
or who for some honourable reason such as infirmity or sickness, cannot act
on their behalf, may be undertaken by a public official appointed to undertake
such duties, with this official being publicly known for their honour by their
deeds, their work, their service to and on behalf of the community.
