We held the hearings. Now we restore the Code.

1. The law — the Nuremberg Code is part of Costa Rican law. Research on people requires free, informed consent.
2. The experiment — we allege the COVID-19 shots were still experimental, with their clinical trials unfinished.
3. The cover — we allege the government told the courts they were not experimental, so the mandate stood.
4. The remedy — a mandate that forces people into an experiment is void, and the State must answer for it.

In Costa Rica, the Nuremberg Code isn't history. It is written into law. Costa Rica's Code of Medical Ethics, issued by executive decree, names the Nuremberg Code in Article 6 among the principles that govern every doctor (Decreto Ejecutivo 39609-S ↗), and the Biomedical Research Law, Ley 9234 of 2014, makes informed consent binding for research on people. That makes Costa Rica a place where the Code can be enforced in court where it is actually law.

When IoJ appealed, the appeals court ruled that the expert witnesses the lower court refused to hear must be heard. The case is still live.

It now goes to the Contentious-Administrative Court (Tribunal Contencioso Administrativo), the court that decides whether the State acted lawfully. That court requires licensed counsel from filing to judgment.

IoJ will file once the attorney's fees for the whole case are funded, so the case is argued all the way to judgment, not started and abandoned.

Estimated budget: $120,000 — counsel about $85,000, plus experts, translation and travel. Estimate; firm quote to be obtained with partners.
