With Oxford University Press (OUP) upcoming release, on December 30, 2024, of Unconquered States: Non-European Powers in the Imperial Age with a chapter by Dr. Keanu Sai on the Hawaiian Kingdom and its continued existence as a State despite having been under a prolonged American occupation since 1893, it will make it official that Hawai‘i is the longest occupation in modern history. Previously, it was thought that the longest occupation was Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem that began in 1967.
The reach of OUP is worldwide. In all its publications it states “Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. It furthers the University’s objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide in Oxford, Auckland, Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, Hong Kong, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, Madrid, Melbourne, Mexico City, Nairobi, New Delhi, Shanghai, Taipei, and Toronto. With offices in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam.”
Dr. Sai’s chapter has effectively pierced the false narrative that has plagued Hawai‘i’s population and the world that Hawai‘i is an American state, rather than an occupied State. The Hawaiian Kingdom’s continued existence as an occupied State is not a legal argument but rather a legal fact with consequences under international law. Dr. Sai concludes his chapter with:
Despite over a century of revisionist history, “the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign State is grounded in the very same principles that the United States and every other State have relied on for their own legal existence.” The Hawaiian Kingdom is a magnificent story of perseverance and continuity.
With the world knowing about the American occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom it will assist in facilitating compliance by the Hawai‘i Army National Guard with the law of occupation so that the American occupation will eventually come to an end by a treaty of peace.
what is your plan for all the people that live in Hawaii that are not Hawaiians. you need to clarify that so you get support. if your plan is to kick everyone out, it will never happen.
International humanitarian law is the plan because it prescribes the measures necessary in accordance with universal principles that all nations benefit from. Jus soli, jus sanguinis and naturalization. Occupation precludes 2 of the 3. Thus, those who cannot trace their ancestry to the population before 1898 will have to choose their allegiance because all was Nazified, American style. Beach houses for sale in Palestine right now on sale, consider the ramifications! American has been at this for over 130 years, and it’s about time the world wakes up to the law of nations.
Fantastic Kumu Sai! Glad to see Oxford picked it up, shot out to Kumu Pine!
Too bad Keanu’s article is entered under “Defeats” in the Table of Contents of the publication.
AMEN!!!
Something else entirely, have you seen OHA’s article in the December issue of Ka Wai Ola? It sounds a lot like propaganda than anything else. Unbelievable! Of course they’re not going to ask for our opinion on the matter. Just like the rail.
