PRESS RELEASE:  FROM THE OHANA O HAWAII (PEGGY HAO ROSS)

                      SPOKESMAN‑ LIKO MARTIN 9/18/89

 

     The alleged 'overthrow of 1893' was nothing less than 'acts of piracy, terrorism and crimes against humanities', under the current international law, and the U.S. Alien Torts Piracy Act of 1789, which has been amplified and illuminated by the 'genocide act', P.L.100‑606, signed by Ronald Reagan, Nov.4,1988.

     The 'provisional government as a republic of Hawaii' was ILLEGALLY PROCLAIMED, in acts of insurrection and treason, by the U.S. Foreign Minister and U.S. citizens and corporations operating abroad. Therefore in 1898, the so called 'republic of Hawaii, masquerading as a government, had neither the 'sovereign authority nor the legal consent of the legitimate Constitutional Government and Monarchy of Hawaii, to promulgate the "Newland Resolution',or to transfer titles to lands,natural resources,and rights of navigation and commerce in the territories of the sub‑continental Hawaiian Archipelago.

     The abrogation of the U.S./Hawaii treaties, by the United States Congress in 1898, was un‑authoritive, and a BREACH OF THE SACRED TRUST RESPONSIBILITIES,under current United Nations and International trusteeship doctrines, covenants and declarations.

     In the conduct of the "conference on insular affairs', by the Dept. of Interior, there has been the continuation of 'treason, fraud and piracy' by way of U.S. Congressional interjection into Foreign Policy in the disguise of Insular Affairs, under the departmental division of territorial and international affairs' of the Dept. of Interior.

     It is highly improper to designate the Hawaiian Archipelago as 'islands only' by an insular definition. Hawaii is a sub‑continent as recognized by the designation of the 200 meter territorial boundaries,

and 200 mile protective zone, that defines the sovereign integrity of the indigenous Hawaiian title holders.

     The so called 'treaty abrogations  of 1898', are an affront to the principles of international trusteeship. Those treaties are still in effect and enforceable, and are the basis for the Office of the President to intercede and initiate direct 'sovereign to sovereign' relations between the United States and the sovereign indigenous Hawaiian Nation.
