DECLARATION OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS FOR THE INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF SYSTEMIC CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

 


TO: The Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court (ICC); the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC); the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC); and all competent national and international prosecutorial authorities.

 


PURPOSE OF THIS PETITION: To formally present a consolidated set of demands for the immediate and thorough investigation and prosecution of systemic crimes against humanity, including but not limited to: (1) the facilitation of and complicity in organized child sexual abuse and human trafficking networks by government officials and elites; (2) the knowing authorization and perpetuation of toxic and carcinogenic substances in the food supply by regulatory agencies and corporations, causing widespread bodily harm; and (3) the deployment of state-sponsored psychological manipulation techniques, historically evidenced by programs such as MKUltra, against civilian populations through media and institutional programming.

 


JURISDICTIONAL BASIS: The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines crimes against humanity as specific acts "committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack" (Article 7). These acts include, but are not limited to, murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation or forcible transfer of population, imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law, torture, rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity, persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law, enforced disappearance of persons, the crime of apartheid, and other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health (Rome Statute, Arts. 7(1)(a)-(k); ICC Elements of Crimes). The Rome Statute also explicitly recognizes enslavement, which includes "the exercise of any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership over a person … in particular women and children" (ICC Policy on Slavery Crimes, 2024). The widespread and systematic nature of the acts described below satisfies the contextual elements required for crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute.

 


WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY DEMAND:

DEMAND NO. 1: PROSECUTION OF ALL WORLDWIDE LEADERSHIP INVOLVED IN PEDOPHILIA RINGS, SEX TRAFFICKING, AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

 


1.1 Factual Basis for Demand

 


The international community has been confronted with incontrovertible evidence of organized child sexual abuse networks operating across borders, with documented connections to persons in positions of power. The following documented cases establish the factual predicate for prosecution:

 


· The Epstein-Maxwell Network (United States): Jeffrey Epstein operated a vast sex trafficking enterprise with numerous high-profile associates over decades. In a January 2026 court filing, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator, alleged that 29 associates and friends of Epstein were "shielded" by the U.S. government through "secret settlements." The filing specifically alleged that four named "co-conspirators" and 25 other men avoided prosecution because of agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice. Maxwell claimed that "[n]one of the four named co-conspirators or the 25 men with secret settlements were indicted. None of these men have been prosecuted, and none has been revealed to the petitioner".

· Government Complicity in Human Trafficking (Liberia, 2025): A former assistant director of Liberia’s anti-human trafficking unit was indicted for allegedly trafficking three women to Oman, demonstrating that individuals entrusted with anti-trafficking responsibilities were directly complicit in the crime.

· Systemic Government Complicity (United States, 2024-2025): Whistleblowers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services testified before Congress in 2024 that the Office of Refugee Resettlement failed to properly vet sponsors, resulting in thousands of migrant children being "lost or handed over to potential criminals," with one whistleblower describing the situation as "[t]axpayer-funded child slavery".

· Industrial-Scale Child Trafficking and Institutional Cover-Up (United Kingdom, 2025): A former detective exposed evidence of industrial child trafficking involving children as young as nine years old from care homes in Haringey, who were sold in crack houses and traded. The whistleblower alleged an official cover-up by London's mayor.

· International Child Abuse Networks (2025): In November 2025, Australian authorities charged four men over their alleged involvement in an international satanic child sexual abuse material ring. Police uncovered thousands of videos depicting abuse, with one individual, a self-appointed independent investigative journalist, charged with multiple offenses including using a carriage service to make child abuse available and disseminating bestiality material. This case demonstrates the continued existence of organized, cross-border networks involved in the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material.

 


1.2 Applicable International Law

 


· The Rome Statute, Article 7(1)(g), criminalizes rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity as crimes against humanity.

· Article 7(1)(c) criminalizes enslavement, which includes trafficking in persons, particularly women and children (ICC Policy on Slavery Crimes, 2024).

· Article 7(1)(k) criminalizes other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.

· The Palermo Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (2000) requires State Parties to criminalize trafficking and ensure effective prosecution.

 


1.3 Specific Demand

 


We demand that the ICC Office of the Prosecutor and all competent national authorities immediately open a formal investigation into the role of government officials, law enforcement personnel, intelligence operatives, elected representatives, and other persons in positions of authority who:

 


(a) Participated in, facilitated, or knowingly permitted organized child sexual abuse networks;

(b) Shielded perpetrators from prosecution through secret settlements, non-prosecution agreements, or the misuse of prosecutorial discretion;

(c) Obstructed or interfered with investigations into child trafficking networks;

(d) Accepted funding, favors, or political support from known traffickers or their associates;

(e) Failed to act on credible evidence of trafficking networks within their jurisdiction or areas of responsibility.

 


We further demand that any person found to have participated in or facilitated such crimes be prosecuted to the fullest extent of international law, without regard to their position, title, or political affiliation. The principle of sovereign immunity shall not apply to crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute (Article 27).

DEMAND NO. 2: PROSECUTION OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND CORPORATE EXECUTIVES RESPONSIBLE FOR AUTHORIZING PESTICIDES AND TOXINS IN FOOD SUPPLIES THAT CAUSE NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS

 


2.1 Factual Basis for Demand

 


Extensive documentary evidence demonstrates that regulatory agencies and corporate actors have knowingly permitted toxic and carcinogenic substances to enter the food and water supply, resulting in widespread harm to civilian populations:

 


· Monsanto-Bayer Glyphosate (Roundup) Litigation: Internal Monsanto documents unsealed in federal court revealed that a senior EPA official, Jess Rowland, allegedly told a Monsanto executive that "if I can kill this I should get a medal," referring to an EPA study on glyphosate's carcinogenicity. Rowland, then Deputy Division Director of the Health Effects Division for the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs and chair of the Cancer Assessment Review Committee, left his post under "mysterious circumstances" shortly after the EPA "accidentally" leaked a report finding insufficient evidence of carcinogenicity. In 2019, a California jury ordered Monsanto (acquired by Bayer) to pay more than $2 billion in damages to a couple who developed cancer after exposure to Roundup, with the jury having seen "internal company documents demonstrating" the company's knowledge of risks. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified glyphosate as a "probable carcinogen".

· DuPont C8/PFOA Contamination Cover-Up: Despite evidence dating back to the 1950s that C8 (PFOA, used to manufacture Teflon) caused a wide range of health problems, DuPont continued using the compound and regularly dumped it into the Ohio River watershed. A jury found DuPont liable in the first of 3,500 lawsuits. The company ultimately paid $670 million to settle personal injury claims, and later an additional $920 million. Over 99% of Americans have detectable levels of C8 in their blood, according to CDC data.

· EPA Regulatory Failure on Carcinogenic Pesticides: As of 2026, the EPA has instituted cancer warnings on only 69 of 4,919 pesticide labels (1.4%) containing an active ingredient designated a "likely" human carcinogen, and just 242 of 22,147 labels (1.1%) containing ingredients designated "possible" carcinogens. Over the last 40 years, the EPA has approved 200 active ingredients that are "likely" or "possible" carcinogens. The analysis found that pesticides have been allowed on the market with a cancer risk as high as one in every 100 people exposed, far exceeding the EPA's benchmark of one in a million.

· EPA Whistleblower Complaints and Internal Corruption: EPA internal emails obtained through FOIA litigation suggest that "science took back seat to political pressure in pesticide approval." Whistleblower complaints in 2021 alleged that EPA scientists were "routinely pressured for years to minimize or remove scientific evidence of the dangers certain chemicals posed to public health". A whistleblower in 2024 alleged that the EPA deliberately suppressed and manipulated data showing the presence of PFAS "forever chemicals" in pesticides, engaging in "egregious misconduct" in violation of the agency's scientific integrity policies.

· FDA GRAS Loophole and Food Industry Self-Regulation: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) designation has allowed companies to bypass government notification and review, introducing an unknown number of substances—believed to be in the thousands—into the U.S. food supply without FDA premarket approval. This system permits companies to make "secret, potentially biased determinations about which substances are safe enough for American families" without even informing the FDA, with determinations often based on unpublished studies conducted by experts with conflicts of interest.

 


2.2 Applicable International Law

 


· Rome Statute, Article 7(1)(a): Murder, where the administration of toxic substances results in death.

· Article 7(1)(b): Extermination, where toxic exposures cause mass deaths.

· Article 7(1)(k): Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.

· International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Article 12: Right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

· The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Article 24: Right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health.

· The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (2001), regulating substances including certain pesticides and industrial chemicals.

 


2.3 Specific Demand

 


We demand that the ICC Office of the Prosecutor, together with all competent national and international authorities, immediately open a formal investigation into the knowing authorization, toleration, and perpetuation of toxic and carcinogenic substances in food, water, and consumer products by government regulatory agencies and corporate entities, including but not limited to:

 


(a) Former and current officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who knowingly suppressed scientific evidence of carcinogenicity and other health risks, or who actively colluded with industry actors to prevent or delay regulatory action;

(b) Executives and senior managers of Monsanto/Bayer, DuPont/Chemours, and other agrochemical and food industry corporations who authorized the continued sale and distribution of products despite internal knowledge of their carcinogenic and otherwise harmful properties;

(c) Officers of the "MEGA Group" and similar corporate consortia that coordinated strategies to suppress adverse scientific findings and influence regulatory outcomes;

(d) Officials of any national regulatory body who participated in the suppression or manipulation of scientific evidence concerning food and water safety for the benefit of corporate interests.

 


We further demand that the ICC exercise its jurisdiction to determine whether the cumulative effect of these actions constitutes the crime against humanity of extermination (Article 7(1)(b)) or other inhumane acts (Article 7(1)(k)) under the Rome Statute, given the scale of harm affecting hundreds of millions of persons globally.

DEMAND NO. 3: PROSECUTION FOR THE EDUCATION SYSTEM'S ROLE IN SUBMITTING PEOPLE TO HOLD GOOD FAITH IN THE SYSTEM, AND FOR GOVERNMENT-APPROVED MEDIA PROGRAMMING LINKED TO MKULTRA-LIKE PROGRAMS

 


3.1 Factual Basis for Demand

See examples above and below. 

 


3.1(a) The MKUltra Program: Official Government Acknowledgment

 


Project MKUltra was a covert program of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that operated from 1953 to 1973, involving 144 known projects aimed at developing procedures and drugs for interrogation, weakening individuals, and forcing confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. The program's existence was exposed in 1975 by the Church Committee of the U.S. Congress (formally the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities).

 


Declassified records have revealed methods including:

 


· Induced sleep and electroshock treatments;

· "Psychic driving," in which heavily drugged subjects were subjected to repeated messages for weeks or even months in attempts to reprogram their minds;

· Development of drugs designed to promote irrational thinking, erase memories, alter personalities, and help people endure torture;

· "Knockout pills" used in secret druggings;

· Large doses of LSD administered to human volunteers, often without their knowledge or consent.

 


The Church Committee concluded that "prior consent was obviously not obtained from any of the subjects". Subjects included criminals, mental patients, drug addicts, Army soldiers, and average citizens who were given drugs without their knowledge. Although the CIA destroyed most MKUltra records in 1973, the program's confirmed existence establishes a historical precedent for state-sponsored psychological manipulation of civilian populations.

 


3.1(b) Documented Evidence of Media and Mind Control Techniques

 


A 1955 CIA memo acknowledged that MKUltra scientists "understood that television and film are particularly conducive to subliminal mind meddling". The CIA developed techniques to manipulate individual mental states and alter brain function, including the use of subliminal messaging through electronic media.

 


Contemporary media ecologists have identified how "human perception is altered through media environments" and how "intelligence agencies utilized technology to alter and steer human perception and attention span". Research has documented that television viewing induces brainwave states susceptible to subliminal messaging, with documented instances of messages such as "Government is God" being subliminally inserted.

 


3.1(c) Systematic Erosion of Educational Independence

 


The petition identifies a pattern whereby government oversight of educational curricula has been used to cultivate uncritical acceptance of institutional authority. Government-mandated curricula and standardized testing frameworks condition students to accept official narratives without critical examination, while educational institutions receiving government funding face implicit or explicit pressure to align their teaching with government-approved content. This constitutes a form of institutionalized indoctrination that suppresses independent critical thought.

 


3.2 Applicable International Law

 


· Rome Statute, Article 7(1)(k): Other inhumane acts intentionally causing great suffering or serious injury to mental or physical health. The administration of psychoactive substances without consent, electroshock, and psychological torture techniques fall within the scope of this provision.

· Rome Statute, Article 7(1)(e): Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law, applicable where subjects were held against their will during experimentation.

· International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 7: Prohibition on torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. The UN Human Rights Committee has interpreted Article 7 to extend to medical or scientific experimentation without free consent.

· ICCPR, Article 19: Right to freedom of opinion and expression, which encompasses the right to receive and impart information without interference. Systematic media manipulation that distorts public access to accurate information violates the spirit of this provision.

 


3.3 Specific Demand

 


We demand that the ICC Office of the Prosecutor and all competent national and international human rights bodies immediately open an investigation into:

 


A. Continuing MKUltra-Type Programs:

 


(a) Whether the psychological manipulation techniques developed under Project MKUltra were transferred to or adopted by other government agencies, including those responsible for public broadcasting and media regulation;

(b) Whether elements of MKUltra-type programming have been integrated into educational curricula or teacher training programs, whether through direct government directive or through government-funded educational materials, with the purpose or effect of conditioning students to accept institutional authority without critical scrutiny;

(c) The identification and prosecution of any person, agency, or corporate entity that continues to develop, fund, or deploy psychological manipulation techniques against civilian populations without informed consent.

 


B. Government-Approved Media Manipulation:

 


(d) A full investigation into the current use of subliminal messaging techniques in government-approved or government-funded broadcast media, including television programming, radio, and digital platforms;

(e) The declassification and public release of all documents relating to the relationship between government intelligence agencies and media organizations regarding content manipulation or psychological influence operations;

(f) The prosecution of any government official, intelligence operative, or media executive who has knowingly deployed or authorized the deployment of psychological manipulation techniques against civilian populations through broadcast or digital media.

DEMAND NO. 4: INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND SYSTEMIC REFORM

 


4.1 Institutional Reforms Demanded

 


In addition to individual criminal prosecutions, we demand the following institutional reforms:

 


(a) Universal Jurisdiction: All State Parties to the Rome Statute shall enact domestic legislation enabling the exercise of universal jurisdiction over crimes against humanity as defined herein, ensuring that no perpetrator may find safe haven in any jurisdiction.

 


(b) Independent International Investigative Body: The establishment of an independent international commission, modeled on the Church Committee, with full subpoena power and access to classified documents, to investigate the full scope of elite protection networks, regulatory capture, and state-sponsored psychological manipulation programs across all jurisdictions.

 


(c) Whistleblower Protection: The strengthening of international mechanisms to protect whistleblowers who expose crimes against humanity, including guaranteed asylum, financial support, and immunity from retaliatory prosecution.

 


(d) Transparency and Declassification: The mandatory declassification and public release of all government documents relating to (i) non-prosecution agreements and secret settlements involving sex trafficking and child abuse networks; (ii) internal regulatory agency communications and scientific assessments concerning pesticide and food additive safety; and (iii) all intelligence agency records relating to psychological manipulation programs, including but not limited to MKUltra and any successor programs.

 


4.2 Mechanism for Submission

 


This petition shall be submitted to the ICC Office of the Prosecutor through its secure evidence submission platform (OTPLink), to the UN Human Rights Council through its Complaint Procedure, and to the UNODC. Copies shall be transmitted to all State Parties to the Rome Statute with a request that each exercise its right under Article 14(1) of the Rome Statute to refer the situation to the Prosecutor for investigation.

 


---

 


CONCLUSION

 


The undersigned affirm that the acts described herein constitute a widespread and systematic attack directed against civilian populations worldwide. The documented patterns of elite-protected child abuse networks, the knowing authorization of carcinogenic substances in food and water, and the development and deployment of psychological manipulation techniques against civilian populations each independently satisfy the definition of crimes against humanity under Article 7 of the Rome Statute. Together, they represent a systemic assault on the fundamental rights and dignity of the human person, perpetrated and protected by the very institutions established to safeguard those rights.

 


We call upon the International Criminal Court, the United Nations, and all competent authorities to act without delay. The credibility of international humanitarian law—and the protection of future generations—depends upon the willingness of the international community to hold the powerful to account.
