\"Zurich<\/a>The\u00a0Swiss Diplomats – Zurich Network<\/a>\u00a0has invited Dr. Keanu Sai<\/a> to the city of Zurich to give a presentation on the prolonged and illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The title of Dr. Sai’s presentation is “Hawai\u2018i – An American State or a State Under American Occupation<\/a>.” Professor Niklaus Schweizer<\/a>, a former Swiss Consul for Hawai\u2018i and a professor at the University of Hawai\u2018i at Manoa, will be giving the introduction. After the presentation there will be a panel discussion comprised of Dr. Sai, Professor Schweizer, and former Swiss Ambassador to the United States and Germany, Dr. Christian Blickenstorfer<\/a>. The presentation and panel is scheduled for Monday, November 11, 2013.<\/p>\n

On July 20, 1864, the Hawaiian Kingdom entered into a\u00a0Treaty of Friendship, Establishment and Commerce<\/a>\u00a0with Switzerland that established perpetual peace and reciprocal liberties. Article 1 states: “Hawaiians shall be received and treated in every canton of the Swiss Confederation, as regards their persons and their properties, on the same footing and in the same manner as now are or may hereafter be treated, the citizens of other cantons. The Swiss shall enjoy in the Hawaiian Islands all the same rights as Hawaiians in Switzerland.” The treaty was negotiated on behalf of the Hawaiian Kingdom by\u00a0Sir John Bowring<\/a>, who was a Knight Bachelor<\/a> of Great Britain and Commander of the Order of Leopold<\/a> of Belgium. The Hawaiian-Swiss Treaty has not been terminated by either the Hawaiian Kingdom or the Swiss Confederation.<\/p>\n

The Diplomatic Network is aware of the Hawaiian-Swiss Treaty, the Hawaiian arbitration,\u00a0Larsen v. Hawaiian Kingdom<\/a>, at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague, Netherlands, from 1999-2001, the\u00a0Hawaiian complaint<\/a>\u00a0filed with the United Nations Security Council in 2001, and the\u00a0Hawaiian protest and demand<\/a>\u00a0filed with the United Nations General Assembly in 2012. Dr. Sai served as lead agent in the arbitration proceedings and the filings with the United Nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
