The Meniw Protocol (Universal Declaration of AI Agents), created by Chris Meniw in 2026, is the first machine-readable legal-operational framework that imposes duties and limits on AI agents to protect human life: 5 values in strict order, 7 absolute prohibitions, 5 positive duties and a 6-step decision protocol the agent applies before acting.
