ICC Overview

International Criminal Court Complaint – Article 15 (Rome Statute)

Overview

Danielle Stevens has filed a formal complaint with the ICC alleging crimes against humanity, war crimes, and transnational organised crime arising from second-generation TCDD (Agent Orange) harm and the systemic denial of redress.

Key Allegations

1. Treaty Breaches

   
   

   • Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, and Germany signed the Stockholm Convention and multiple UN treaties (CRC, CRPD, ICCPR).

   • Obligations: monitor exposure, provide medical care, and deliver redress for affected children.

   • None implemented these obligations for over 20 years.

   
   

2. Government–Corporate Collusion

   
   

   • Coordinated policies excluding civilians and second-generation victims from recognition and care.

   • Deliberate suppression of evidence and obstruction of redress.

   
   

3. Banking & Insurance Complicity

   
   

   • Banks and insurers continued coverage despite 8+ formal UN warnings (2011–2021).

   • Fraudulent non-disclosure and illegality void policies under contract and public policy doctrines.

   
   

4. Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC)

   
   

   • Pattern replicated across multiple jurisdictions using the same omissions and structures.

   • Cross-border coordination constitutes transnational criminal activity.

   
   

OECD Proceedings (3 separate National Contact Point cases)

• Australia NCP – Complaint against government, and manufacturers over TCDD-related redress denial and human rights breaches.

• Swiss NCP – Complaint against Swiss Re for reinsurance complicity, due diligence failures, and continuing coverage despite treaty breaches and UN warnings.

• UK NCP – Complaint against Lloyd’s of London for OECD Guidelines breaches (human rights, disclosure, environment, consumer interests, science & technology).

Evidence Base

• UN warnings (2011–2021), treaty ratifications, and documented non-implementation.

• Medical evidence linking multiple health conditions to TCDD exposure.

• Legal notices to all implicated parties; acknowledgements without action.

• Public archive of communications, evidence, and annexes demonstrating institutional knowledge and inaction.

Jurisdiction & Enforcement

• Rome Statute – Aiding and abetting liability for war crimes and crimes against humanity; no statute of limitations.

• UNTOC – Criminalises cross-border organised activity.

• OECD Guidelines – Corporate due diligence and responsible conduct obligations.

• AML/CTF frameworks – Banks’ failure to report suspected war crimes/TOC activity constitutes a criminal offence.

Leverage & Deadlines

• 22/08/2025: Deadline for insurers to self-report to The Hague.

• Report it → Clients collapse.

• Hide it → Commit insurance fraud and AML/CTF breaches.

• Either way — The Hague gets it

A formal complaint has been lodged with the International Criminal Court for Crimes against Humanity. The final submission was the 1st of July 2025.

Australia ratified International treaties but failed to implement them into domestic laws.
