The duties of the new organization committed to preventing and punishing
crimes against humanity help guide its administrative outline. I've split it into three branches, with four offices
in each, plus two committees and one council to handle administration.
The organization is best structured around its goal; that means one part
to identify genocide, one to stop it, and one to prevent from popping back up. As such, the first branch is a Liberties
Watchdog, dedicated to analyzing the behavior of countries with respect to basic rights. The second and primary branch
is the Members Council, responsible for general tasks and oversight of the organization, for communication with the world
in general, and for engaging the perpetrators of crimes against humanity. The third branch is for Reconstruction Efforts,
to meet the immediate, temporary humanitarian needs of the population, secure the country, prosecute the perpetrators of crimes
against humanity and to assist the country in democratization.
Of course the full responsibility of each section is more complex
than that. I have the basic duties of each branch, office and committee listed by bullet point.
