Integrity In Action !

Accountability doesn’t end when the headlines fade

This is integrity in action! Julian has filed a criminal complaint in Sweden challenging the use of the Nobel Peace Prize as an instrument that risks enabling war rather than preventing it. With a precise legal and ethical intervention — grounded in Alfred Nobel’s will, international law, and a simple principle: peace cannot be used to justify violence. Filing this complaint is not about spectacle.

It’s about responsibility.

About insisting that words like peace, law, and integrity still mean something — and that institutions should be held to the standards they claim to represent. The 2025 award did go to María Corina Machado from Venezuela, a woman continuously supported military force on the country by the US military. Read the full complaint here:

And honestly — seeing that - matters more than we can properly put into words.

After everything Julian has been through, silence would have been understandable. Rest would have been earned. Many people would have chosen that path. But that’s not who he is.

Julian has always believed that power should be questioned, not admired from a distance. That institutions don’t get a free pass just because they wrap themselves in noble language. And that when something is wrong — truly wrong — you don’t look away just because it’s uncomfortable.

This action comes from that same place. It’s integrity. It’s care for the future. It’s the refusal to let silence become normal.

And yes — we are genuinely, deeply happy to see him back in motion. Still willing to hold governments and institutions accountable when it would be easier not to.

That matters. And we hope this “Courage is Contagious”

This is Julian’s second Christmas at home. That’s not something we take lightly.

There’s no pretending everything is resolved — there’s been no pardon, no accountability, no reckoning. The systems that harmed him are still standing.

And yet — here he is. Still engaged. Still clear. Still willing to act. And this is just wonderful! Thank you Julian!
