SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE FOR THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM A “ COUNTRY” WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED BY THE “COUNTRY” UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who apparently does not give a shit about HUMAN RIGHTS , unless it threatens stocks, bonds, oil, investments and corporate dollars, white America lifestyles, and making sure there is a distinct line between us and them.
HOW DO WE GET HEARD
BLATANT VIOLATION OF OUR HUMAN RIGHTS
**********************************
Article:
The optics weren’t ideal. As the Trump administration was being slammed for separating small children from their parents on the border with Mexico, the U.S. made the controversial decision to leave the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador, made the announcement Tuesday, calling the body a “cesspool of political bias.” The decision was ostensibly made in support of Israel, which the administration claims has been unfairly targeted by the council.
“Human rights abusers continue to serve on, and be elected to, the council," Haley said. "The world's most inhumane regimes continue to escape its scrutiny, and the council continues politicizing scapegoating of countries with positive human rights records in an attempt to distract from the abusers in its ranks."
To be sure, a number of countries accused of perpetrating human rights abuses, like Saudi Arabia and China, serve on the council. But experts say that Washington’s decision to leave will make it more difficult for the U.S. to advocate for human rights in the future.

“The ultimate beneficiary of this decision will be China, which has been flexing its muscles in the Human Rights Council recently and would love to use it as a platform to roll back Western positions on individual rights,” Richard Gowan, an expert on the U.N., told Newsweek. “Almost every time Trump attacks a multilateral body or agreement these days, it strengthens China's hand, as Beijing looks like the only alternative global leader available.”

“The ultimate beneficiary of this decision will be China, which has been flexing its muscles in the Human Rights Council recently and would love to use it as a platform to roll back Western positions on individual rights,” Richard Gowan, an expert on the U.N., told Newsweek. “Almost every time Trump attacks a multilateral body or agreement these days, it strengthens China's hand, as Beijing looks like the only alternative global leader available.”
Gowan continued, “The Trump administration has always seen the council as a potential target. The withdrawal is part of a much broader pattern of U.S. disengagement from U.N. talks and agreements on issues like migration and climate change under Trump. But the Human Rights Council is especially important symbolically because of its persistent criticisms of Israel. Pulling out is also one small way to undo the Obama administration's multilateral legacy, as Obama's team made a big point of joining the council in 2009 as a sign that the U.S. was returning to the international community after Bush.”

Meanwhile, even some Israeli officials weren’t entirely pleased by the decision, claiming Washington’s departure will make it more difficult to block anti-Israeli initiatives pushed through by members. And the move is also unprecedented, because the U.S. is the first country to leave the council without being forced out.
“Other states voted to suspend Libya in 2011, and Syria dropped a candidacy to join the council back then too. But the U.S. is the first to walk out of its own accord,” Gowan said.
Haley also blamed human rights groups for the decision to leave, saying they had thwarted U.S. attempts to improve the council.
“You should know that your efforts to block negotiations and thwart reform were a contributing factor in the U.S. decision to withdraw from the council,” Haley wrote in a letter to organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
The council has 47 members that are elected for three-year terms. It was created in 2006 by the U.N. General Assembly.

U.S. FAIL! : UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS Independent Expert Recognizes the Hawaiian Kingdom then Four (4) Months Later TRUMP QUITS the UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS!
U.S. FAIL! : UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS Independent Expert Recognizes the Hawaiian Kingdom then Four (4) Months Later TRUMP QUITS the UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS!
Review by Amelia Gora (2018)
Mrs. Routh Bolomet entered complaints into the United Nations Human Rights at Geneva, Switzerland and succeeded in having her complaint heard.
That was in February 2018.
Then, the U.S. President Trump this month, actually yesterday, QUITS the United Nations Human Rights Committee with a lame diversion of the immigration policy, etc.
With the documented complaints by Mrs. Bolomet, the United States is now under total scrutiny as being a nation which FAILS under all issues of Human Rights for people of color.
The Hawaiian Kingdom has never gone away, even after the concerted effort of Premeditation, Piracy, Pillaging, Usurpation, Coercion, Organized/Concerted effort made by Conspirators who were supported by the United States since the time of Kamehameha III - Kauikeaouli's time.
Kamehameha III passed the anti-slavery law in 1852, and the United States passed theirs after the criminal assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
We commend Mrs. Routh Bolomet, Dr. Alfred M. de Zayas
United Nations Independent Expert Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
and others for bringing the issues of the Hawaiian Kingdom to the forefront and exposing the ongoing decline of the United States in failing to respect people of color over time.aloha.

OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER

MEMORANDUM
Date: 25 February 2018
From: Dr. Alfred M. de Zayas
United Nations Independent Expert Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
To:
Honorable Gary W. B. Chang, and Honorable Jeannette H. Castagnetti, and Members of the Judiciary for the State of Hawaii
Re:
The case of Mme Routh Bolomet
As a professor of international law, the former Secretary of the UN Human Rights Committee, co-author of book, The United Nations Human Rights Committee Case Law 1977-2008, and currently serving as the UN Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, I have come to understand that the lawful political status of the Hawaiian Islands is that of a sovereign nation-state in continuity; but a nation-state that is under a strange form of occupation by the United States resulting from an illegal military occupation and a fraudulent annexation. As such, international laws (the Hague and Geneva Conventions) require that governance and legal matters within the occupied territory of the Hawaiian Islands must be administered by the application of the laws of the occupied state
in this case, the Hawaiian Kingdom), not the domestic laws of the occupier (the United States).
Based on that understanding, in paragraph 69(n) of my 2013 report (A/68/284) to the United Nations General Assembly I recommended that the people of the Hawaiian Islands - and other peoples and nations in similar situations -- be provided access to UN procedures and mechanisms in order to exercise their rights protected under international law. The adjudication of land transactions in the Hawaiian Islands would likewise be a matter of Hawaiian Kingdom law and international law, not domestic U.S. law.
I have reviewed the complaint submitted in 2017 by Mme Routh Bolomet to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, pointing out historical and ongoing plundering of the Hawaiians' lands, particularly of those heirs and descendants with land titles that originate from the distributions of lands under the authority of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court judgment in the Paquete Habana Case (1900),
U.S. courts have to take international law and customary international law into account in property disputes. The state of Hawaii courts should not lend themselves to a flagrant violation of the rights of the land title holders and in consequence of pertinent international norms. Therefore, the courts of the State of Hawaii must not enable or collude in the wrongful taking of private lands, bearing in mind that the right to property is recognized not only in U.S. law but also in Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Hunan Rights, adopted under the leadership of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Respectfully,
CTC

U.S. Quits UN Human Rights Council, Saying It’s Anti-Israel
By Nick Wadhams
Haley says organization ‘makes a mockery of human rights’
June 19, 2018 "Information Clearing House" - The Trump administration withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday, making good on a pledge to leave a body it accused of hypocrisy and criticized as biased against Israel.“For too long, the Human Rights Council has been a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias,” Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, said Tuesday at the State Department in Washington. She said the decision was an affirmation of U.S. respect for human rights, a commitment that “does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.”
The 47-member council, created in 2006 and based in Geneva, began its latest session on Monday with a broadside against President Donald Trump’s immigration policy by the UN’s high commissioner for human rights. He called the policy of separating children from parents crossing the southern border illegally “unconscionable.”
Are You Tired Of The Lies And Non-Stop Propaganda?

The Trump administration is under intense criticism from business groups, human rights organizations and lawmakers from both parties over the recently imposed policy.
In the Works
While that timing was jarring, the U.S. withdrawal had been in the works for some time. National Security Adviser John Bolton had also opposed the body’s creation when he was U.S. ambassador to the UN in 2006. Current Ambassador Haley warned a year ago that the U.S. would pull out if the council didn’t address what she saw as its bias toward Israel and the fact that many of its current members -- they include China, Saudi Arabia and Egypt -- have poor human rights records themselves.
Condemning the planned withdrawal from the UN group, Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat who serves on the Foreign Relations Committee, said the decision “sends a clear message that the Trump administration does not intend to lead the world when it comes to human rights.”
The council also has been a forum for criticism of Trump’s economic policies. In a report on the U.S. due to be submitted to the Human Rights Council this week, Philip Alston, the UN’s rapporteur on poverty, said the president’s tax overhaul “overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and worsened inequality.”
The report says that while the U.S. has long been the most unequal among developed nations, it’s getting worse under Trump. “The policies pursued over the past year seem deliberately designed to remove basic protections from the poorest,” it said.
Calls to Revamp
Even some critics of the human rights council have called for continuing to push for a revamping of the body rather than quitting it.
On the opening day of the council’s current session, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson criticized the body’s perennial agenda item dedicated to Israel and the Palestinian territories, calling it “damaging to the cause of peace.” Nonetheless, he said the U.K. wasn’t “blind to the value of this council.”
The council is scheduled to discuss Israel and the Palestinian territories on July 2, according to its agenda.
“The Trump administration’s withdrawal is a sad reflection of its one-dimensional human rights policy -- defending Israeli abuses from criticism takes precedence above all else,” Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth said in a statement. “Other governments will have to redouble their efforts to ensure the council addresses the world’s most serious human rights problems.”
