How did the Trinity Declaration Come About?

The use of Technology in armed conflict is increasingly and becoming increasingly important in armed conflict.

Technology workers play an increasingly vital role in the event of armed conflict.

Technology workers need to be philosophically prepared for and organized in times of armed conflict to prevent harm to innocent human life.

The Trinity Declaration seeks to prepare and organize technology workers for the purpose of ensuring that technology is not used to harm those covered by the Geneva Conventions.

The Trinity Declaration seeks to provide a deterrent in the event of armed conflict to entities that would use or allow the use of technology to harm those covered by the Geneva Convention.

The Trinity Declaration seeks to create mechanisms, platforms and systems necessary to collect electronic and other technological evidence to document technology uses that violate the Geneva Conventions.

The Trinity Declaration acknowledges that operation and execution of its goals and purposes must remain outside of and independent of national and political alliances.

The Trinity Declaration signatories are not nations or territories or political organizations but rather individuals and other non-political organizations.

How were the co-signers selected?

After finishing the Declaration, the three authors emailed a few colleagues asking them if they would co-sign. Most agreed. These original 30+ co-signers are listed on the front page, together with others that were added later.

Can anyone sign the Declaration?
Yes. Through the online form.
Are all the online signatures real?

No. Some pranksters added fake signatures such as Dr. Johnny Bananas, Prof. Spon’Ge’Bob SQ.UarePants, Dr. Neal Ferguson, Prof. Ware Thamask, and Dr. Person Fakename. In a strange twist, one journalist bragged on Twitter about adding fake names, after which other journalists criticized the Declaration for having fake signatures. Anyhow, the fake signatures are less than 1% of the total, and most have been removed from the count tracker.

Was anyone paid to write or sign the Declaration?

None of the authors or co-signers received any money, honoraria, stipend, or salary from anyone for either the Declaration or the video recording.

Dr. Bhattacharya research funding over the past 22 years of his career has come almost entirely from grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Agriculture, and participation on contracts with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) via a government contracting research group, Acumen, LLC. He has never accepted or received any funding from pharmaceutical companies, nor from any other large corporation.

Dr. Gupta’s research funding over the last 30 years has principally been through fellowships and investigator awards from the Wellcome Trust and the European Research Council. She has also received funding from the UKRI, the Royal Society, the Leverhulme Trust, the Emily and Georg von Opel Foundation and the Oxford Martin School.
