This legal-analytical study exposes how coercive vaccination regimes during the COVID-19 pandemic often mirrored historical patterns of systemic abuse—including those condemned at Nuremberg.

Although framed in seemingly lawful terms, many national and international policies were deliberately crafted to circumvent prohibitive legal norms, including fundamental safeguards against non-consensual medical intervention and discriminatory mandates.

This calls for urgent global legal scrutiny and the possible convening of an international tribunal.
