Frequently Asked Questions draft

The ITNJ has no built-in leanings towards any group, belief system, religion, government, or culture and therefore, cannot speak to what one group vs. another might believe, nor does it assume to know how any living being might interpret its words. The wording on its founding documents has been carefully crafted with the intent that all will know clearly its mission and goal when all material on the ITNJ.org website is taken into consideration as a whole. It is a fact that not all people agree on all things and this is acknowledged and respected by the ITNJ.

No. The common sense meanings of the words give the accurate interpretation of the intrinsic meaning of the Treaty mandating establishment of the ITNJ.  We are not here to further obfuscate the true nature of law but rather to make it accessible to the people it purports to serve.

The ITNJ exists to serve as protector of all sovereign beings, everywhere, and to empower you in exercising personal sovereignty, not take it away.

The ITNJ Constitution has been published since 14 February 2015, when the ITNJ was established by Proclamation. Following the Inauguration Events and Ceremonial Seating of 15 June 2015, when the ITNJ Treaty and ITNJ Constitution were signed and sealed into law, the “Witnesses by” pages were also published. The full text of the ITNJ Constitution is published as a pdf document. You may need to adjust browser settings or script blockers to allow pdf documents to display properly on your computer to download and read the ITNJ Constitution.

“The pine cone motif in ITNJ’s logo denotes the pineal gland in homo sapiens. It is the organ within the human brain which connects our mechanical intelligence to our meta~intelligence, ie: our capacity to see outside the box, ergo to step outside the proverbial matrix. It is therefore the anchor point of our consciousness to the heavenly realms.

“The language of law (legalese) has been, and continues to be, a veiled language, by its very design. The (mis)use of words and meanings equates to spellbinding. The ritualised majick that law has been subverted toward has not served humankind, but has contrarily conspired to delude us from our higher expression.

“The ITNJ is breaking these invisible bonds and re-purposing the language of law. It is reclaiming jurisprudence and restoring the foundational axis of Trust and Equity.

“The ‘figure of eight’ symbol on the lateral plane in the ITNJ logo alludes to the cycle of infinity. This denotes an absolutist approach by the ITNJ to pure-truth. Pure-truth is not by degrees, and where it is enshrined will ever serve to anchor the heavens to the causal realm.”

The International Tribunal for Natural Justice was established on February 14, 2015, in memory of St. Valentine, who died on that day defending the natural rights of the people.

The ITNJ is currently focused (in 2018) on its Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Human Trafficking and Child Sex Abuse, therefore, there is a suspension in accepting applications. Forms and procedures for submitting an application to the ITNJ are posted on this website on the page Application to the Tribunal when the court is ready again to fully accept applications.

As projected, the ITNJ began hearing cases in late 4th quarter 2015. The first official hearing took place on December 1, 2015, and the second official hearing took place on December 16, 2015.

Anyone regardless of location is equally afforded the recognition and protection of the ITNJ and is equally invited to align with the ITNJ. To date, our International Committee includes people from: Aotearoa (New Zealand), Australia, Canada, Holland, India, Ireland, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands, Philippines, Scotland, Southern Africa, United Kingdom, and United States. More Chapters and Committees are being set up in additional countries all the time. They will be announced on the website and other venues as they are formally brought into the ITNJ.

The ITNJ exists outside and above the jurisdiction of any one nation or country by the authority of the People of the World.

The sovereign People of the World are the source of authority. If the People weren’t sovereign, they would not be able to authorize a sovereign government, because you cannot delegate authorities you do not have. The People of any nation or country or territory have the right to delegate their authority to representatives they choose to run their government. Case in point: the government of the United States of America is allegedly founded and maintained by the consent of the governed.

Just as the People can authorize their governments to act on their behalf, the People can authorize their Tribunal, the ITNJ, to act on their behalf, and delegate their sovereign authority to administer Natural Law. By their signatures ratifying the Treaty of the International Tribunal for Natural Justice, the People of the World mandate the establishment of the ITNJ and delegate to the officers of the ITNJ their authority to administer Natural Law for all the People of the World, in all the territory of the World.

Enforcement is the first question most people ask, and the answer is the People. Just as the People of the World are the authority behind this Tribunal, the People of the World are the authority behind enforcing the decisions of this Tribunal. The signatures of thousands on the ITNJ Treaty constitute the authority and jurisdiction for enforcement under International Law. The more people that sign the treaty, the more force it will have in law. From there, enforcement is an effort of momentum, building a body of knowledgeable and willing individuals that unify on these global human issues for the benefit of all. This can be taken up by small groups, communities, nations, or the entire planet.

Truth and Reconciliation is a function of the Tribunal that seeks to create a peaceful environment for those who have caused harm to meet with those they have harmed in order to reach a mutual agreement.

Just as we envision ITNJ courtrooms operating all over the world, we also envision Truth and Reconciliation hearings all over the world. Over the last several hundreds of years, the violence and force done to People and Planet is so great that it would take thousands of courts running non-stop for decades to prosecute all the atrocities. We want the atrocities to stop, and to that end, we need to focus not on violence and revenge but on remedy and restitution. Truth and Reconciliation Programs allow those who were swept up into working for corrupt systems to come forward and ask for amnesty. We offer a blueprint for the People of the World to stop the harms being done in their own communities and do what is needed to restore peace and justice. This is the concept of Justice with Mercy.

Some who have been accessory to violations of human rights were either deceived or coerced into the actions they took, and thus should not be treated the same way as those who consciously chose to commit harm of their own volition.

“Lawyers around the world are often members of local bars which are professional associations (no
different from other professions such as medicine and so on). In most countries there are requirements to take an oath to act fairly for the client, and some countries require an oath to the sovereign (from which one can be exempted as Americans were in Australia as swearing allegiance to The Queen could prejudice their American citizenship). In my case I took an oath of allegiance to The Queen in Australia and in England and also on Norfolk Island (in fact two oaths, one as a barrister, then later as a magistrate). Then I took a similar oath in Ireland (although no queen as Ireland is a republic). Then in the United States I undertook to obey the laws of the United States and its various states. Not one of these oaths prevented me from acting at all times in the interest of justice for all people nor did it stop me from acting against the Crown or the Government. You may recall the classic case in England where it was determined the Crown could and would be sued (“Let Right be Done”). Apart from being a member of the Norfolk Island Bar, I am also a member of The Victorian Bar, and the International Bar Association as well as the South Pacific Lawyers Association and the European Association of Lawyers. I have been admitted to the Inner Temple (England) and Kings’ Inns (Ireland where there is no king). Not one of these memberships in any way affects my independence and my ability to act fairly and in the interests of justice whether as a barrister-at-law or a judge. The ITNJ is and will be independent in the interests of natural justice for all peoples. We have already had discussions regarding representation before the ITNJ as clearly spelled out in the Constitution. To those who say “they do not trust lawyers and judges” I would ask what remedy they would seek. There are only three ways to change things: politically, you need influence and money and lots of it; revolutionary, you need even more money and lots of people united in the one cause who will act together; legally, you need competent lawyers and honest judges, which is what you will get with the ITNJ.”

Kind regards,

The headquarters of the ITNJ is located in London, but well outside of the “City of London”. For those who may not know, the city commonly known as London has a population of over 8 million people and covers a total area of 1,572 sq km (607 sq m). In contrast, the area known as the “City of London” is a one-mile square territory which is a sovereign city-state, completely separate from London, UK, similar to Washington DC, which is a ten-mile square sovereign city-state completely separate from the USA. Rest assured, no ITNJ offices are geographically located within the one-mile-square territory called the “City of London” and the ITNJ has no affiliation with any corporations housed there.

The spring 2015 crowdfunding campaign reached its goal of raising funds for the June 14th and June 15th Inauguration Events, including the Ceremonial Seating during which the ITNJ Treaty and Constitution were signed and sealed into law. We are deeply grateful to all those who donated then and who continue to donate each month. Financial reporting through September is posted here.
