English translation of the principle

Joining the Iraqi Popular Army with knowledge of its military objectives is sufficient to establish the intent to assist the hostile State of Iraq in its military operations against the State of Kuwait, even if joining did not result in providing it with actual assistance. - Inferring the absence of coercion from the inability to provide evidence supporting it and since the duration of membership in the Iraqi Popular Army extended to two and a half months until resignation from it of one's own free will. No defect.
Arabic original
الانضمام إلى الجيش الشعبي العراقي مع العلم بأهدافه العسكرية كفايته لاستظهار قصد معاونة دولة العراق المعادية في عملياتها الحربية ضد دولة الكويت حتى ولو لم يسفر الانضمام إلى تحقيق عون فعلي لها. - استخلاص انتفاء الإكراه من العجز عن تقديم دليل يؤيده ومنذ استطالة مدة الانضمام للجيش الشعبي العراقي إلى شهرين ونصف حتى الاستقالة منه بمحض الاختيار. لا عيب.
