Universal Jurisdiction

The principle of universal jurisdiction allows the national authorities of any state to investigate and prosecute people for serious international crimes even if they were committed in another country. For example, this means that the German government could, if it chose to do so, prosecute U.S. officials for crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Using this principle, the International Anti Corruption Court can actively pursue cases in multiple countries seeking to investigate and prosecute those Government officials to strengthen the enforcement of criminal laws in order to punish and deter leaders who are corrupt and regularly violate human rights, and to create opportunities for the democratic process to replace them with leaders dedicated to serving their citizens.

Justice Without Borders. Law Without Permission.

The International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) is built upon the principle that certain crimes are so grave — so destructive to the global order — that they demand justice beyond national borders.

Universal jurisdiction enables prosecution of international crimes regardless of where they occurred, who committed them, or whether the perpetrator or victim is a national of the prosecuting state. The only requirement is the nature of the crime itself.

What Crimes Qualify?

Grand Corruption & Kleptocracy
Crimes Against Humanity
Enforced Disappearance
Human Trafficking
Systematic Torture
Judicial and Financial Tyranny

These crimes threaten the fabric of international law and human dignity. When sovereign states fail to prosecute, the IACC acts — under the authority of WAC and global blockchain jurisdiction.

Why IACC Was Created

The IACC exists to close the global impunity gap. While many national courts remain captured or politically compromised, the IACC enforces justice using:

WAC Sovereign Arbitration
Tokenized Enforcement (WTAA)
Blockchain-registered entities mirrored to the Respondent
Global bounty syndicates and digital debt enforcement

We are immune to politics. Immune to veto. And operational today.

Historical Legal Precedents

Universal jurisdiction emerged from:

The Nürnberg Trials
The Geneva Conventions (1949)
The Torture Convention (1984)
The Pinochet Case in Spain
The Habré Trial in Senegal
Ongoing global cases against U.S. and foreign officials for torture, corruption, and war crimes

These milestones paved the way for institutions like the IACC — built not on permission, but on obligation to protect humanity.

Two Systems, One Mission

Universal jurisdiction and the IACC’s blockchain tribunal complement each other:

UJ allows national and international courts to act where possible
IACC acts where they fail, stall, or refuse

Together, these systems create a comprehensive global net for capturing perpetrators of grand corruption, state abuse, and systemic injustice.

IACC Is the Evolution of International Justice

With WAC and ICCACK infrastructure, the IACC represents a next-generation enforcement court:

Registered on the blockchain
Globally accessible by victims and whistleblowers
Immutable, tokenized, and enforceable in 172+ nations

We exist so no tyrant can hide, no corrupt judge can rule unpunished, and no stolen asset can remain offshore forever.
