TO: All Sovereign Nations, the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and all peoples suffering from war crimes
FROM: The Office of the President-Elect of the United States of America
DATE: April 13, 2026 / Effective January 20, 2029
SUBJECT: Invitation to File Charges for War Crimes Committed by U.S. Persons or Institutions — And a Pledge of Extradition
SECTION 1: AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT
To every nation, every community, every survivor of war crimes that were enabled, ordered, funded, or carried out by actors connected to the United States of America: We have failed you.
For generations, the United States has demanded accountability from others while exempting itself. We have spoken of human rights while practicing impunity. We have invoked the rule of law while hiding behind technicalities, pardons, and power.
That era ends on January 20, 2029. Today, I issue a formal, binding, and unconditional invitation to every country on earth: if your nation has concluded through its own judicial processes, investigations, or suffering that war crimes have been committed by any person or institution acting under the color of U.S. authority or U.S. benefit, you are invited to file charges.
We will not deny. We will not delay. We will not protect.
SECTION 2: WHAT CONSTITUTES A VALID CHARGE
Your country may file a request for extradition if the following conditions are met:
- Your nation has jurisdiction — either because the crimes occurred on your territory, affected your citizens, or violated your sovereignty.
- Your nation has conducted a good-faith investigation and issued a lawful arrest warrant for a specific individual or individuals.
- The alleged conduct constitutes a war crime, crime against humanity, or genocide as defined under the Rome Statute, the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, a binding UN Security Council resolution, or customary international law.
- The United Nations (via the Security Council, General Assembly, or International Court of Justice) has issued a determination that war crimes are occurring in the relevant context — or your nation requests that the UN make such a determination, and the United States will support that request.
SECTION 3: WHO CAN BE CHARGED
You may file charges against any of the following persons or institutions:
- Current or former elected officials of the United States, including the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and state officials.
- Current or former appointed officials of any executive branch agency, including the Departments of Defense, State, Justice, Homeland Security, and the Intelligence Community.
- Military personnel of any rank, including commanders who issued orders and soldiers who carried them out.
- Private actors, including bankers and financial institutions, defense contractors and private military companies, and corporate officers whose companies provided logistics, weapons, or technology used in war crimes.
No one is exempt. No office is immune. No pardon will be recognized.
SECTION 4: HOW TO FILE
- Submit an official diplomatic note to the U.S. Department of State marked: “Urgent — Extradition Request Under EO 2029-01”.
- Include the arrest warrant, evidence summary establishing probable cause, statement of legal findings, and any existing UN determination or request for one.
- Submit a copy to the Office of the Attorney General of the United States and to the UN Office of Legal Affairs.
The United States will acknowledge receipt within 72 hours.
SECTION 5: THE UNITED STATES' PLEDGE
- Arrest of named persons within 14 days, if present on U.S. soil.
- Extradition within 30 days of final judicial authorization.
- No use of presidential pardons to block or delay extradition.
- No safe harbor or transfer to evade justice.
- Use of U.S. tax dollars to fund arrest, detention, legal processing, and transport.
If the accused is outside U.S. jurisdiction, the United States will cooperate with INTERPOL and requesting nations to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 6: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
This letter is not a trap, a trick, or diplomacy as theater. It is a confession that the United States has done wrong and a commitment to no longer protect wrongdoers.
SECTION 7: A WARNING TO OUR OWN
To any American official, commander, contractor, or banker reading this letter: the world is now invited to file charges. And when they do, the United States will hand you over.
SECTION 8: CONTACT AND IMPLEMENTATION

SECTION 9: CONCLUSION
Silence is complicity. Civilian blood is evidence. The United States, if it is to deserve its place among nations, must accept that no one is above the law — not us, not ever again.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 20, 2029
