  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

  • Facts Necessary to Understanding the Hawaiian
    FACTS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION David Keanu Sai, Ph.D. June 11, 2019 Fundamental to deciphering the Hawaiian situation is to discern between a state of peace and a state of war. This bifurcation provides the proper context by which certain rules of international law would or would not apply. The laws of war—jus in bello, otherwise known today as international humanitarian law, are not applicable in a state of peace. Inherent in the rules of jus in bello is the co-existence of two legal orders, being that of the occupying State and that of the occupied State. As an occupied State, the continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom has been maintained for the past 126 years by the positive rules of international law, notwithstanding the absence of effectiveness, which is required during a state of peace.1 The failure of the United States to comply with international humanitarian law, for over a century, has created a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions where war crimes have since risen to a level of jus cogens. At the same time, the obligations have erga omnes characteristics— flowing to all States. The international community’s failure to intercede, as a matter of obligatio erga omnes, is explained by the United States deceptive portrayal of Hawai‘i as an incorporated territory. As an international wrongful act, States have an obligation to not “recognize as lawful a situation created by a serious breach … nor render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation,”2 and States “shall cooperate to bring to an end through lawful means any serious breach [by a State of an obligation arising under a peremptory norm of general international law].”3 The gravity of the Hawaiian situation has been heightened by North Korea’s announcement that “all of its strategic rocket and long range artillery units ‘are assigned to strike bases of the U.S.

  • 1 May 23, 2016 David Keanu Sai, Ph.D.* 1.1. This Report Is Provided
    WAR CRIMES REPORT: HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS May 23, 2016 David Keanu Sai, Ph.D.* 1. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1.1. This Report is provided as an addendum to the Hawaiian Complaint submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council, by email, on May 23, 2016, in accordance with article IV—Complaint Procedure of the annex to Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, in order for the Council to be seized of the situation in the Hawaiian Islands of consistent patterns of gross and reliably attested violations of humanitarian law, human rights law and fundamental freedoms. Additionally, paragraph 2 of the annex provides that “given the complementary and mutually interrelated nature of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, the review shall take into account applicable international humanitarian law.” 1.2. These violations of humanitarian law and human rights law arise out of the prolonged and illegal occupation of the entire territory of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United States of America (United States) since the Spanish- American War on August 12, 1898, and the failure on the part of the United States to establish a direct system of administering the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom during the occupation. The United States disguised its occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom as if a treaty of cession acquired the Hawaiian Islands and thereby extinguished the Hawaiian Kingdom as an independent and sovereign State. There is no treaty. 1.3. For the past 123 years, the United States has committed a serious international wrongful act and deliberately misled the international community that the Hawaiian Islands had been incorporated into the territory of the United States.

This is still Piracy & Treason under the 9th Article of Confederation of 1777 and Article 1 section 8 of the 1791 U.S. Constitution, a 123 year old WAR CRIME. The United States has not been SANCTIONED or CHARGED. Take Judicial Notice: A Joint Resolution is a United States Domestic Law, confined only to the boundaries within the United States, not outside the United States like the Islands ofHawai'i. This is a Congressional Fact. The Only Fact that cannot be disputed is that the Hawaiian Islands is not part of the United States under the April30, 1900 Organic Act Section Two of all the LAWS for the TERRITORY OF HAWAll.

  • Restoration of Independence for Hawaiʽi Michael Haas
    Restoration of Independence for Hawaiʽi Michael Haas Abstract: The Kingdom of Hawaiʽi was deposed in 1893 by a coup supported by soldiers of the United States although not accepted by the president of the United States as a violation of international law. In 1898, Congress voted to annex Hawaiʽi and American control has continued to the present. Today, some desire to restore Hawaiʽi as an independent country. The paper analyzes eight reasons supporting independence and the feasibility of such a transfer of sovereignty. Word Count: 7463 Keywords: colonization, decolonization, imperialism, self-determination, sovereignty, United Nations Some now believe that the Hawaiian Islands deserve to become an independent country again. Is that pursuit justifiable or even feasible? In this paper, I attempt the first comprehensive analysis of a policy question that is destined to shock the United States and the world. Should Hawaiʽi Be Independent? 1. The Kingdom of Hawaiʽi, independent up to 1893, was a progressive country in many ways. In 1839, Kamehameha III issued a Declaration of Rights and the Edict of Toleration. The Rights protected for “all people of all lands” were identified as “life, limb, liberty, freedom from oppression; the earnings of his hands and the productions of his minds.” The chiefs were explicitly informed that they would lose their noble status if they mistreated commoners. Religious liberty has been observed ever since. In 1840, on behalf of the “Hawaiian Islands,” Kamehameha III and Queen Kekāuluohi promulgated a British-style government. The body of chiefs that formerly met at the pleasure of the king became an appointive 16-member House of Nobles, including the king as a member, along with a “representative body,” initially chosen by the king from letters of nomination; those with the most nominations were appointed by the king (Kuykendall 1938:228).

  • Acting Regency: a Countermeasure Necessitated to Protect the Interest of the Hawaiian State
    Establishing an Acting Regency: A Countermeasure Necessitated to Protect the Interest of the Hawaiian State David Keanu Sai, Ph.D. Establishing an Acting Regency: A Countermeasure Necessitated to Protect the Interest of the Hawaiian State November 28, 2009 Unable to deny the legal reality of the American occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and in light of the absence of any legitimate government in the Hawaiian Islands since 1893, the author and Donald A. Lewis, both being Hawaiian subjects, took deliberate political steps that would create severe legal consequences not only upon the occupant State, but also themselves. On December 10th 1995, both established the first co-partnership firm under Hawaiian Kingdom law since 1893, and, in order to protect the legal interest of the Hawaiian State, they would establish an acting Regent on December 15th as an officer de facto. Established under the legal doctrine of necessity, the acting Regency would be formed under and by virtue of Article 33 of the Constitution and laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom as it stood prior to the landing of the U.S. troops on January 16th 1893. These include laws that existed prior to the revolution of July 6th 1887, which eventually caused the illegal landing of United States troops in 1893. At the core of these acts taken in December 1995 was the political existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Bateman states the “duty correlative of the right of political existence, is obviously that of political self-preservation; a duty the performance of which consists in constant efforts to preserve the principles of the political constitution.”1 Political self-preservation is adherence to the legal order of the State, whereas national self-preservation is where the principles of the constitution are no longer acknowledged, i.e.

    The Color of Nationality: Continuities and Discontinuities of Citizenship in Hawaiʻi A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE DECEMBER 2014 By WILLY DANIEL KAIPO KAUAI Dissertation Committee: Neal Milner, Chairperson David Keanu Sai Deborah Halbert Charles Lawrence III Melody MacKenzie Puakea Nogelmeier Copyright ii iii Acknowledgements The year before I began my doctoral program there were less than fifty PhD holders in the world that were of aboriginal Hawaiian descent. At the time I didn’t realize the ramifications of such a grimacing statistic in part because I really didn’t understand what a PhD was. None of my family members held such a degree, and I didn’t know any PhD’s while I was growing up. The only doctors I knew were the ones that you go to when you were sick. I learned much later that the “Ph” in “PhD” referred to “philosophy,” which in Greek means “Love of Wisdom.” The Hawaiian equivalent of which, could be “aloha naʻauao.” While many of my family members were not PhD’s in the Greek sense, many of them were experts in the Hawaiian sense. I never had the opportunity to grow up next to a loko iʻa, or a lo’i, but I did grow up amidst paniolo, who knew as much about makai as they did mauka. Their deep knowledge and aloha for their wahi pana represented an unparalleled intellectual capacity for understanding the interdependency between land and life.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.
