Similiar claims have been voiced in regard to the League of Nations garrison troops, during the Crisis, and it is felt that all these "incidents" ought to be brought to light, and judged, and if necessary actions taken to punish anyone responsible or at least prevent it from happening again in future.
Quoted
IC: "Bulgaria, having contributed troops to the field force, categorically declines to participate in any proposal which would result in their soldiers being investigated by an international body, be it League-sponsored or otherwise. If there are any claims regarding the Bulgarian troops, they should be addressed through direct contact with the Bulgarian government and Department of Justice, which will conduct its own open investigation. Bulgaria views this as a matter of national sovereignty and will absolutely refuse any request to submit their citizens to the peculiarities of foreign or 'international' justice."
