Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to YES if, before December 31, 2099, an officially recognized international criminal tribunal, a specialized international court, or a court established and sanctioned by a major international body (such as the United Nations or the International Criminal Court) formally indicts, prosecutes, or puts on trial public health officials, government leaders, or scientific advisors for actions related to pandemic policies.
To trigger a YES resolution:
The legal proceeding must be an officially recognized international trial or tribunal under international law. Unofficial mock trials, symbolic "citizens' grand juries," "people's tribunals," or typical domestic civil lawsuits do not qualify.
The charges must explicitly allege "crimes against humanity," "genocide," or violations of the "Nuremberg Code" stemming from public health measures, pandemic response policies, vaccine rollouts, or lockdown mandates.
If no such official international trial or formal indictment has commenced by 11:59 PM UTC on December 31, 2099, this market will resolve to NO.
Background
The term "Nuremberg 2.0" emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic among critics of lockdown policies and vaccine mandates. Proponents of the concept argue that public health officials, politicians, and scientific advisors violated the 1947 Nuremberg Code—which governs ethical standards for medical experimentation—and should face an international tribunal analogous to the post-WWII Nuremberg trials.
The movement was heavily associated with German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich and the "Corona Investigative Committee," who sought to organize class-action style efforts. However, Fuellmich was arrested in late 2023 and subsequently convicted by a German court on charges of embezzling funds from the committee. Legal scholars and medical ethicists have widely noted that the Nuremberg Code applies specifically to human experimentation (such as the non-consensual testing performed by Nazi doctors) rather than approved public health interventions, vaccination campaigns, or administrative mandates.
