Diligent search did not disclose dictionary definition. But I remember hearing the word in relation to automobile shock absorbers, and found this much corroboration: "A well-designed dashpot 'shock absorber' creates an opposing force [ proportional to the velocity. That's tricky to do with hydraulics, [ and nigh impossible with an air cylinder. -- Robbie"

"1. Until very recently, the punishment of war crimes was a task entrusted to domestic tribunals. Nuremberg and Tokyo were exceptions only in part, since the winner, which occupied the whole territory of the loser, established the two Tribunals. The winner was able to exercise its jurisdiction after the complete debellatio of the enemy. National jurisdictions are often accused of partiality: they do not indict their own nationals for war crimes or, if they do, inflict only lenient penalties; conversely, national tribunals are more severe towards crimes committed by nationals belonging to the enemy State. One of the reasons why international tribunals have been established is that war crimes, and international crimes in general, should not go unpunished. Belligerents should be equal before the law and if their nationals commit war crimes they should be punished, whether they belong to the winning or the losing side. Equality and not partiality should be the characteristic of the international tribunals."
