Court of Humanity - Damages case
The indictment
Governments are paid a year to promote the general welfare, defined here as maximizing median healthy life expectancy and median after-tax inflation-adjusted income.
Instead, these public servants used of their salary to murder approximately humans over the last century of their employment.
These murdered humans included roughly 930,000 doctors, 310,000 scientists, 620,000 engineers, 1.24 million nurses, 3.1 million teachers, and children who will never grow up to replace them.
Murdering your employers is the opposite of promoting their welfare, and would be grounds for termination in any other employment contract humans have ever signed.
Had governments not spent murdering those people and destroying everything they spent their entire lives building, the average human alive today would earn a year instead of . Dead scientists do not discover things and exploded cities are very expensive to fix. Read the evidence.
If a corporation were paid a year to promote the general welfare and misused the funds to this degree, it would be prosecuted, fined, monitored, and its officers imprisoned.
The corporate analogy is conservative: ordinary corporations do not have the legal power to compel payment from every human under their jurisdiction.
Duty
The duty purchased by that $36.5 trillion annual payment is measurable: maximize median healthy life expectancy and median after-tax inflation-adjusted income.
Breach
Governments spend times more on weapons than on testing which medicines work. The 1% Treaty asks them to redirect of military spending to pragmatic clinical trials.
Causation
At the current discovery rate, finding first treatments for the remaining untreated diseases takes . The treaty model compresses that queue to .
Count 1 — Death by War
deaths
The defendants, between 1900 and the present, did willfully and with premeditation engage in the organized killing of of their own employers.
Count 2 — Death by Regulatory Delay
deaths
The defendants required an additional of efficacy testing before letting humans access drugs already proven safe. The damages model multiplies that post-safety lag by lives saved per year by existing drugs, yielding deaths.
Full damages claim
The False Claims Act triples damages when a defendant defrauds the government. Here, the defendants ARE the government, defrauding the citizenry. Triple damages apply.
Damages calculator
Set what you think a human life is worth in court dollars. Lower the death counts if you want. The amount owed to each living human updates below.
Default $10M (EPA / FDA standard). DOT uses $13.7M. Use less if you think these murdered humans should be cheaper.
Default 310M (Rummel democide 264M + battle 39M + collateral civilian 30M minus overlap). White's low estimate is 200M; Rummel-high-plus-military is 340M.
Default 102M (Invisible Graveyard primary estimate). Low is 36.9M. High is 214M. These are patients who died while already-safe treatments waited for efficacy approval.
What each living human is owed, at your assumptions
Full damages demand
$2.74M
Total: $21.92Q
The demand counts war deaths, regulatory-delay deaths, property/environmental destruction, excess military spending, the Pentagon failed-audit penalty, and drugs never developed because the trial money went to weapons. The False Claims Act analogy triples the body-count claim.
"These are policy disagreements."
Negligent homicide requires duty, breach, causation, damages, and foreseeable risk. The defendants meet all five.
"You cannot sue a government."
That is because governments wrote rules saying governments are hard to sue. This is not a moral defense. It is a confession with letterhead.
"The deaths are counterfactual."
Governments use counterfactual lives saved to justify budgets every day. The same math counts bodies when the budget kills people quietly instead.

Record the finding after reading the case. If governments are liable, the demand is .
Plaintiffs
The case already has 59 named plaintiffs. If someone in your family died of war, regulatory delay, or preventable disease, add them. A civilization should at least be able to count these murdered humans.

The full claim is per living human because the survivors inherited the missing scientists, doctors, children, treatments, income, and public money destroyed by the policy.
Count 3 — Death by Misallocation
trial-years
Damages here are the counterfactual: what humanity would have had if governments had frozen real military spending at 1900 levels and redirected the rest to keeping their citizens alive. The war budget since 1913 alone could have funded years of government clinical trials.
