The following is an idea for a Flash Fiction-type story. It's a bit optimistic ~ cheesy. Hope you enjoy.
The setting is a 2056 High School History Classroom in some European country.
The class: Global Civil Rights and the
Arrest of Three Once-Powerful Leaders of Nations
Students and their teacher discuss the impact of the arrest and imprisonment of three of the five worst human rights violators in the middle of the 2020s. It was shocking when armed agents from a multinational paramilitary group were able to kidnap and bring to justice the American, Russian and Israeli leaders, within a month from each other. The operation was fairly easy because of the cooperation of each leader’s own military guards.
Student 1: “I think it was poetic justice that American president
#47 was kidnapped when he was visiting Venezuela.”
Student 2: “I don’t understand.”
Student 3: “Number 47 ordered that the President of
Venezuela be kidnapped and brought to America to face justice. Number 47 said
the cartels were being helped by the Venezuelan president.”
Student 2: “Didn’t 47 order people killed without evidence?
He had them blown up, right? That’s a crime against humanity.”
Student 1: “And of course, there is the unprovoked attack against
Iran. The Crime of Aggression. The hundreds of civilians killed and injured was
just the beginning. He was also, ultimately, found culpable for all of the
killings by the immigration police and those who died in the American
concentration camps.”
Student 8: “That’s one of the reasons he was indicted and tried
at the Hague, before he was arrested in Venezuela.”
Student 5: “That’s the same with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
being charged with Genocide, War Crimes, Crime of Aggression and Russian
President Putin for Crime of Aggression and War Crimes. They all claim they
were within their rights to defend their countries.”
Student 9: “Of course, that was a lie. The Israeli
government were running operations against the Palestinians, just like the
Nazis. Putin started a war against Ukraine because he wanted all the land leading
to the Crimean Sea.
Student 8: “That was a mistake. He underestimated the
Ukrainian people. The war went on for several years. When the investigations
were concluded, there was enough evidence to convict him of war crimes and his
murder of opposition leaders.”
