The Royal Commission was established, by proclamation of the Council of Regency, on April 17, 2019. Its mandate is to investigate war crimes and human rights violations committed within the territorial jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Kingdom since the unlawful overthrow of the Hawaiian government in 1893 and the subsequent belligerent occupation by the United States that has ensued since. I have a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa where I specialized in international relations and public law. My doctoral studies and publications focused on the legal and political history of the Hawaiian Kingdom and its prolonged occupation by the United States since 1893. I also served as an officer for ten years in the Hawai‘i Army National Guard, 1st Battalion 487th Field Artillery. Before I was honorably discharged in 1994, I served as commander for Charlie battery. I am aware that your office is responsible for having initiated investigations of myself and other officers of the Council of Regency.

    CLARE. E. CONNORS September 9, 2019 The Honorable Karl Rhoads, Chair and Members of the Judiciary Committee Committee on Judiciary Hawaii State Capitol 415 So. Beretania Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Chair Rhoads and Members of the Judiciary Committee: Re: GM1 - Nomination of Clyde J. Wadsworth Intermediate Court of Appeals I submit this testimony in strong support of Clyde J. Wadsworth to serve as an Associate Judge on the Intermediate Court of Appeals. Most of my personal knowledge of Mr. Wadsworth comes from the last eight months, during which time we have worked together on behalf of the State of Hawai’i. He has been a true resource to the State and specifically, to the Department of the Attorney General (Department). Not only is he a highly skilled appellate attorney, as demonstrated both by his written and oral advocacy, he is frequently called upon to advise the Department in ongoing matters and disputes. He has been called upon in these instances because his deep understanding of the law, alongside his insight into possible appellate outcomes, has proven invaluable in assisting the Department in its many problem-solving endeavors. As a result of this collaboration at the Department, Mr. Wadsworth has come to understand the challenges of the executive in governing, including in the implementation of judicial and legislative mandates. In his role as Solicitor General, he not only has defended the various branches of State government — including State agencies as well as the Legislature and the Judiciary — he has been a part of the task of ensuring that the Department’s executive functions comport with governing laws and policies.

  • For Immediate Release News Release 2017-14 February 7, 2017
    DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVID Y. IGE GOVERNOR DOUGLAS S. CHIN ATTORNEY GENERAL For Immediate Release News Release 2017-14 February 7, 2017 HAWAII CASE STAYED SO LONG AS NATIONWIDE ORDER BLOCKING PRESIDENT’S IMMIGRATION BAN REMAINS IN PLACE HONOLULU – Attorney General Doug Chin announced today that a Hawaii federal judge has stayed the lawsuit filed by the State of Hawaii – challenging a travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump – so long as a nationwide injunction against the President’s Executive Order remains in place, or until further order of the court. Attorney General Chin said, “A federal judge in Seattle halted implementation of this unconstitutional and illegal Executive Order banning travel by persons based strictly upon their nation of origin and religion. As of right now this applies to all jurisdictions, including our state. If the situation ever changes, our own federal judge retains the option to reschedule Hawaii’s hearing.” Last Friday, the State of Hawaii asked the court to block implementation of the January 27, 2017 Executive Order signed by President Trump entitled “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States.” The Executive Order restricts immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen. It suspends all refugee admission for 120 days and bars all Syrian refugees indefinitely. It grants entry preferences to minority religions. Hawaii’s lawsuit alleged that the Executive Order violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment, denies equal protection of the law, and violates due process rights and other federal statutes. After Hawaii filed its lawsuit, Hawaii federal district judge Derrick K.

  • Reforming Honolulu Police Post APEC
    REFORMING HONOLULU POLICE OVERSIGHT: EVALUATING THE ABILITY OF GENDER AND DISABILITY-BASED POLICE VIOLENCE TO REFORM OVERSIGHT MECHANISMS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE May 2017 By Aaron Hunger Dissertation Committee: Kathy Ferguson, Chairperson Katharina Heyer Lawrence Nitz Colin Moore Meda Chesney-Lind Keywords: Police Reform, Gender Violence, Disability Violence, Criminal Justice Policy ABSTRACT National efforts to increase police accountability during President Obama’s presidency have been fueled by vivid images of police violence that have largely targeted black men. The root of many of these highly publicized incidents appears to be post 9/11 shifts in American policing that deprioritized community centric policing models in favor of a more militarized approach. President Trump’s administration and appointees within the federal government appear intent on returning to this strategy, which have begun to reverse oversight reform which took place after 2008. While race has been the primary intersectional stimuli for change in most U.S. states, gendered and ability violence by Honolulu police has driven local reform efforts following APEC in 2011. Research has found that of the 2099 sworn police serving as county law enforcement in Honolulu, an average of 1 in 6 officers has been accused of misconduct since training adjustments were made towards first-shooter based training. Over forty cases of police violence and criminal misconduct by Honolulu Police officers (since 2010) have resulted in the sentencing of six officers to federal prison, and the resignation of the Honolulu Police Chief who was alleged to have engaged in public racketeering.
