WASHINGTON — To uphold the integrity of the liberal democratic order in the Republic of Korea and to safeguard the security imperatives of the ROK-U.S. Alliance, I hereby solemnly declare the following to the international community.

On November 13, 2025, in concert with a coalition of civic and international organizations, I finalized the formal submission of legal complaints against Lee Jae-myung. These comprehensive dossiers have been officially lodged with the International Criminal Court (ICC), the U.S. White House and Federal Administration, global sanctions enforcement bodies, and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

This action transcends mere political rhetoric or public petitioning. It constitutes the execution of a formal international legal maneuver, involving the submission of evidentiary documentation and verified data. Consequently, this case has been permanently integrated into the global infrastructure for judicial review, diplomatic analysis, and security oversight.

Having observed the systemic delays and failures within domestic judicial proceedings, we determined that this matter could no longer be confined to the volatile sphere of internal political debate. The jurisdiction has thus migrated: from South Korean courts to the supranational framework of international law and sanctions.

I. The Indictment: Summary of Actionable Allegations

• Sanctions Evasion & Illicit Finance ($8M to North Korea): Allegations of conspiracy to funnel approximately $8 million to the North Korean regime—a sanctioned entity—via the Ssangbangwool Group, in direct contravention of international embargoes.
• Systematic Human Rights Violations: Accusations of weaponizing state machinery to conduct coercive investigations, raids, and arrests against religious and judicial dissenters, constituting a gross violation of universal human rights norms.
• Misappropriation & Geopolitical Malfeasance: Charges regarding the tacit approval of public fund misuse (corporate cards) and a geopolitical realignment with China and North Korea that undermines the security architecture of the Free World.

II. Statutory Grounds: Legal Framework

• IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act): Invoked as the primary basis for addressing illicit financial flows that violate the U.S. sanctions regime against Pyongyang.
• Global Magnitsky Accountability Act: Cited to trigger targeted sanctions—including visa denials and asset freezes—against officials complicit in significant corruption and human rights abuses.
• Domestic Penal Codes & National Security Law: Referenced to highlight breaches of national security, unauthorized collaboration with the North, and abuse of power.

III. Strategic Demands: Calls for International Intervention

The filed dossiers formally petition the ICC, the UN, and the U.S. Government for the following interventions:

• Commencement of ICC Proceedings: A request for the Prosecutor to initiate a preliminary examination leading to a formal investigation and potential indictment.
• Imposition of Unilateral U.S. Sanctions: A call for the U.S. Treasury and State Departments to activate sanctions mechanisms, effectively freezing assets and barring entry.
• UNSC 1718 Committee Review: A demand for the UN Sanctions Committee on North Korea to investigate the illicit remittance allegations for potential listing of involved entities.

IV. The Roadmap Ahead

Let this statement serve as an unambiguous notice: This filing represents a commencement, not a conclusion. The procedural machinery has been engaged.

Our coalition is currently executing the subsequent phases:

• Submission of supplementary evidentiary tranches.
• Strategic briefings with ICC prosecutors, U.S. officials, and UN representatives.
• Formal engagement and inquiry procedures with the OHCHR.
• Dissemination of periodic International Situation Reports (ISR).

This case now exists as immutable data within the international surveillance grid. The record is permanent, the process is irreversible, and the final adjudication will be rendered in accordance with global standards.

“We have chosen the path of the permanent record.
Time provides no sanctuary.
The tribunal of international justice now presides.”
