The Great Trinity Declaration

Cyber warfare and the use of technology in armed conflict is rapidly increasing. The risk of harm to those covered by the Geneva Conventions form its use is increasing as well.

Therefore, safeguards need to exist, and additional precautions need to be taken to protect those covered by the Geneva Convention from cyber warfare.

The Trinity Declaration is committed to creating, implementing, and maintaining these safeguards that protect those covered by the Geneva Conventions from harm caused by cyber warfare.

To identify, create, implement and maintain those safeguards needed to protect those covered by the Geneva Conventions the underlying individual, corporate and organizational signatories acknowledge, adopt and confirm the following:

  • Technology workers play an increasingly vital role in the event of armed conflict and therefore technology workers should play an increasing important role in protecting those covered by the Geneva Conventions.
  • The Trinity Declaration seeks to organize technology workers for purposes of ensuring that technology is not used to harm those covered by the Geneva Conventions.
  • Technology workers need to be educated and philosophically prepared for times of armed conflict and cyber warfare to minimize harm to those covered by the Geneva Conventions.
  • Systems, Platforms, and mechanisms need to exist to capture electronic and technological evidence for when cyber warfare is used to harm those covered by the Geneva Conventions.
  • The Trinity Declaration seeks to provide a deterrent in the event of armed conflict to 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, much like the Red Cross and Red Cresent operate separately and independently from national and political alliances.
  • The Trinity Declaration “Geneva Convention of Cyber Warfare” signatories are not nations, territories of political organizations but rather individuals, corporations, and other organizations committed to the Trinity Declaration, its goals, and purposes.
