Subject: Formal Legal Notification – ICC Article 15 Filing, Transnational Organised Crime, Crimes Against Humanity Involving ANZ

Dear ANZ Statutory Compliance Team,

This is a formal legal notice.

As of Saturday, 26 July 2025, ANZ was placed on record in relation to an international legal complaint submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) under Article 15 of the Rome Statute. You are now formally advised that your institution may be implicated in a broader international case involving:

Crimes against humanity, including the long-term impact of chemical warfare on civilians and children,
Transnational Organised Crime, as defined under the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC),
And corporate complicity in treaty violations, under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

I am the biological child of an Australian Vietnam War veteran exposed to Agent Orange (TCDD) — one of the most toxic synthetic chemicals ever produced. My birth is recorded in my father’s military file. I have 17 confirmed congenital and degenerative conditions that match known patterns of second-generation dioxin harm. Despite this, the Australian Government (the State) has denied my lawful rights, refused to acknowledge the harm, and blocked all forms of redress.

Because every domestic door was closed — including access to health, disability, and compensation systems — I was forced to escalate internationally.

On 1 July 2025, I filed a complaint under Article 15 of the Rome Statute, naming:

The Australian Government, for systemic obstruction and denial of chemical warfare-related harm;
TCDD manufacturers, including Dow Chemical, Monsanto, and their successor entities, for producing and distributing dioxin-contaminated herbicides with full knowledge of their harm;
And multiple financial institutions, now including ANZ, for continuing to provide services, investment, and protection to corporate actors while ignoring the legal and ethical obligations to affected civilians.

This is no longer a policy matter. It is a criminal one.

Under Article 25 of the Rome Statute, individuals and institutions that knowingly enable, conceal, or fail to act in response to crimes against humanity may be held accountable. Your institution has now been:

Formally notified of the crime and the case;
Informed of its failure to act after disclosure was made;
And listed in Annex B of the ICC submission — which tracks complicity, omission, and deflection by both public and private entities.

Further, ANZ now faces potential exposure under the OECD Guidelines, for failure to conduct proper due diligence, uphold human rights responsibilities, and ensure non-complicity in transnational harms.

All public evidence and legal filings are available at:

I can be contacted directly via AgentOrangeChild@gmail.com for any official response. Silence will be treated as knowing inaction, and documented accordingly.

This case will not be buried.

The State failed. The corporations profited.

And now the banks are on the record.

Warm Agent Orange Burns regards,

Danielle Stevens

We will always be a child of a Vietnam Veteran
