The Chairman's Welcome Greetings and Aloha, Welcome to the website of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government presently operating within the occupied State of the Hawaiian Islands. Since the Spanish-American War, 1898, our Nation has been under prolonged occupation by the United States of America. Our web pages tell you about the range of activities carried out by the Hawaiian Government in developing our relations with the community of Nations in regards to the occupation and the profound economic benefits that arise from its exposure. Click here to download the Strategic Plan of the acting Council of Regency (208KB PDF document). The primary objective of the Hawaiian Kingdom Government is to expose the occupation of our nation within the framework of the 1907 Hague Conventions IV and V and our domestic statutes , and to provide a foundation for transition and the ultimate end of the occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Article 43 of the 1907 Hague Convention IV mandates that the occupying government, being the United States of America, must administer the laws of the occupied State, being the Hawaiian Kingdom, and any deviation of this mandate is a violation of international law. Presently, the Hawaiian Islands reluctantly serves as the HQ's for the largest of the nine unified military commands of the United States armed forces in the world, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM). The American Journal of International Law , volume 95, issue 4 (Oct., 2001), pp. 927-933, recently published an article on the Larsen vs. Hawaiian Kingdom arbitration case. The authors concluded "Because international tribunals lack the power of joinder that national courts enjoy, it is possible—as a result of procedural maneuvering alone—for legitimate international legal disputes to escape just adjudication. For example, in Larsen, the United States commanded an enviable litigation posture: even though the United States admitted its illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, it repeatedly refused to consent to international arbitration." On September 21, 2001 Mr. Larsen agreed to terminate the proceedings against the acting government at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, on condition that the acting government intercedes on his behalf at the United Nations level. The Chinese Journal of International Law , volume 1, issue 2, (2002), pp. 655-684, also recently published an article on the Larsen vs. Hawaiian Kingdom arbitration case. The author of the article is an associate attorney with a Swiss International law firm. Dr. Matthew Craven, Reader in International Law, from the University of London, SOAS, authored a Legal Opinion for the acting Government. Download a portion of the brief on the Continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom (PDF), which provides a juridical analysis of the history of the Hawaiian state within the framework of international law. On July 5, 2001, the Hawaiian Kingdom Government filed a Complaint Against the United States with the Security Council of the United Nations regarding the United States' occupation of the Hawaiian Islands. The entire Civil Code and Penal Code of the Hawaiian Islands has been provided on this site, to assist those researching domestic law. In order to assist individuals of foreign ancestry here in the country and abroad in determining their Hawaiian nationality, the Hawaiian Kingdom Government is publishing on our web site sections of the Registry of Naturalized Subjects (c. 1840-1893) and the Registry of Denizens (c. 1840-1893) from the Hawai'i archives. Our Info for Nationals section contains information on citizenship and naturalization, along with essays regarding Hawaiian nationality, the relationship between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States, the fake revolution of 1893, and other common questions. As an added feature we have included a slide show presentation entitled " Hawai'i's Road to International Recovery ." The presentation has 65 slides which take you from the international relations of the Hawaiian Kingdom in the 19th century to the Complaint filed in the United Nations Security Council on July 5, 2001. I hope that you will find the information you require here. Please feel free to contact us by email should you require further assistance.
