COVID-19 LAWLESSNESS

The apparent outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 was met by global moral panic. From America to Europe to Asia, they veered from harsh lockdowns to closing their borders in ill-fated attempts to quell a viral spread that soon enveloped the world. As our lives seem to return to ‘normal’, there has never been a better time to undertake an in-depth study of governments’ responses to the pandemic.

In his timely and masterly researched book, Dr. van Aardt lifts the lid on how the mass hysteria engendered by governments’ responses to the pandemic worldwide allowed them to seize an ever-tighter grip on the levers of power, and, under cover of an illicit perpetual “state of emergency”, exert unprecedented control over ordinary peoples’ lives. He does us all an invaluable service in alerting us to the insidious and inherently lawless nature of biomedical collectivism, and what must be done to resist it.

Dr. van Aardt, a well-respected legal scholar who has published numerous articles on international human rights law and bioethics during the  COVID-19 era, draws extensively upon historical legal precedent, modern legal theory and medical practice from across the world, to provide an independent, objective international legal analysis of the human rights and bio-ethical normative rules and standards relating to vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions. In doing so, he aims to educate citizens with the relevant legal, moral, and ethical laws regarding their innate and inalienable absolute fundamental human rights, and to distil a set of conceptual, analogical, and legal perspectives to help interpret the significance of the present rise of public health emergency regimes.

This critically important text is written in an accessible and thought-provoking way. Its publication will have both a profound and positive effect. Ultimately, its perspective is an optimistic one, providing those that were injured, dispossessed, marginalized, and oppressed during the course of the COVID-pandemic with the knowledge that the rule of law is on their side, and supplying the information and tools they require to resist global biomedical collectivism, and restore law and order. But it comes with a stark warning: civil disobedience and political action becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless. We have a sacred duty to act. And the time to act is now to re-establish the rule of law and judiciously deal with the perpetrators and compensate the victims of the COVID-19 era human rights violations.

Revealed in COVID-19 LAWLESSNESS

Authoritatively analyzed and documented for the first time:

How Western governments that style themselves as champions of democracy disregarded absolute natural rights and flouted its international human rights legal obligations.

How State officials utilized an illicit state of emergency as government technique, rather than an exceptional temporary measure, de facto producing a state of lawlessness.

How COVID-19 emergency measures were not proportionate to the threat, not strictly necessary, not based on an objective assessment of the actual situation and not the least restrictive choice.

How COVID-19 legal paternalism unlawfully infringed on the individual’s right to medical self-determination by coercing citizens to medical experimentation without free, and informed consent in direct violation of jus cogens norms.

How the proliferation of irrational unjust COVID-19 laws that lack the efficacy of law demonstrated that governing through law and governing in accordance with the rule of law are two very different things.

How pharmacratic controls implemented in Nazi Germany and COVID-19 public health measures instituted in the West are fundamentally indistinguishable political practices.
How global monopoly capital undermines, and then manipulates, manages, and controls democratic governance structures to defeat the original purpose and the rule of law.
How to reestablish the rule of law and judiciously deal with both the perpetrators and victims of the COVID-19 era human rights violations.

Human law is law only by virtue of its accordance with right reason; and thus, it is manifest that it flows from the eternal law. And in so far as it deviates from right reason it is called an unjust law; in such case it is no law at all, but rather a species of violence.

Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt. And a citizen who barters with such a state share in its corruption and lawlessness.

Act Now

For many across the West, the IHRL guarantees relating to inalienable fundamental human rights are worthless paper guarantees given the widespread violation of these rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. This, however, does not mean that the ideal to turn this right into a practical reality should not be pursued vigorously, or that society should have a lax attitude towards the authoritarians who undermine these fundamental human rights.

In order to bring an end to lawlessness it is also crucial for ordinary citizens to be willing to engage with the corrupt bureaucracy and call out governments and their multinational corporate allies for the human rights violations that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Standing up for what is right starts by speaking out against injustice and the violation of fundamental rights such as the right to be free from medical experimentation without free and informed consent. A means to place lawless bureaucrats on notice that people across the world understand what their inalienable human rights are and that they will not tolerate their further violation is to submit vast numbers of individual complaints to national and international human rights organizations. International complaints can be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Human Rights Committee.

As of October  2022, 116 States are party to the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Western States subject to the Optional Protocol either through ratification or accession include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, and others.

To submit an individual complaint, the complaint form A may be used

Any individual can also submit a complaint in terms of the complaint procedure of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The overall source for this complaint procedure of the Human Rights Council is the UDBHR and “consistent patterns of gross and reliably attested violations of all human rights and fundamental freedoms occurring in any part of the world and under any circumstances.”

This complaint procedure is a universal complaint procedure encompassing all human rights and all fundamental freedoms in all Member States of the United Nations.  “A complaint can be submitted against any country irrespective of whether the country has ratified any particular treaty or made reservations under a particular instrument.”

The complaint form set out in form B can be utilized to submit a complaint
