Hawaiian Kingdom Accedes to the Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court

ICCThis afternoon the Ambassador-at-large and Agent for the acting government of the Hawaiian Kingdom, H.E. David Keanu Sai, Ph.D., filed with the United Nations Secretary General in New York an instrument of accession acceding to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague, Netherlands. The ICC is a permanent and independent tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, that prosecutes individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The ICC only prosecutes individuals and not States.

The instrument of accession was deposited with the United Nations Secretary-General in accordance with Article 125(3) of the ICC Rome Statute, which provides, “This Statute shall be open to accession by all States. Instruments of accession shall be deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations.” By acceding to the ICC Rome Statute, the Hawaiian Kingdom, as a State, accepted the exercise of the ICC’s jurisdiction over war crimes committed within its territory by its own nationals as well as war crimes committed by nationals of States that are not State Parties to the ICC Rome Statute, such as the United States of America. According to Article 13 of the ICC Rome Statute, the Court may exercise its jurisdiction if a situation is referred to the ICC’s Prosecutor by the Hawaiian Kingdom who is now a State Party by accession.

The current situation in the Hawaiian Islands arises out of the prolonged and illegal occupation of the entire territory of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United States of America since the Spanish-American War on August 12, 1898, and the failure on the part of the United States of America to establish a direct system of administering the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The United States disguised its occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom as if a treaty of cession annexed the Hawaiian Islands. There is no treaty.

Individuals of the State of Hawai‘i government who committed war crimes have already been reported to the United States Pacific Command and the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva, Switzerland, for deliberately denying a fair and regular trial to Defendants, irrespective of nationality, and with the Hawaiian Kingdom’s accession to the jurisdiction of the ICC, these alleged war criminals will now come under the prosecutorial authority of the Prosecutor of the ICC.

Regarding the occupation of Hawaiian territory, the ICC is authorized under the Rome Statute to prosecute individuals for committing the following war crimes during an occupation:

  • destruction and appropriation of property;
  • denying a fair trial;
  • unlawful deportation and transfer of persons to another State;
  • unlawful confinement;
  • the transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies;
  • destroying protected objects dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments;
  • destroying or seizing the property of the Occupied State;
  • compelling participation in military operations;
  • outrages upon personal dignity;
  • displacing civilians.

    • I believe it was Resiprosity treaty that allowed the “kingdom” to sell sugar tax free to the states for the use of Pearl Harbor as a fueling station. Which only benifited plantation owners and the United States

      • Yup but did you know the USS Maine was a false flag ? Also king Leopold the 1st of Belgium who took over the sugarcane contract was related to the English monarchy who gave up the sugarcane contract ? Why would they do this if there was profits and then it was because of a breach of contract by hawaii instigated by the English monarchy which gave more power to king Leopold . Then you add the secret treaty of Verona . crooks one and all including the Vatican !

  2. I can’t get a lawful answer to a simple fact . The United States incorporated ” yes it was and still is corporation lookup the Act of 1871 ” and the lawful American government was bankrupted how can the annexation even be considered legal ? Then you add into the facts that it took the false flag of USS Maine being destroyed for them to justify the annexation ? They wanted control of hawaii and took many different action’s to get control . but a bankrupt government cannot annex a nation with enormous wealth neither can a corporation !

    • Many corporations operate very well while in bankruptcy. They actually are profitable while in bankruptcy. This is no surprise.
