The Bolomet Effect...
Routh Bolomet's fight to save her land has not only exposed rampant corruption in the "real estate" industry in collusion with the "State of Hawaii" courts, but it's raised issues of international law. The memorandum issued by UN Independent Expert, Dr. Alfred deZayas confirmed what we have been saying for years: that the United States' presumption of sovereignty over the Hawaiian Islands is unlawful, and that Hawaii is, as Dr. deZayas put it, under a "strange form of occupation."
Dr. deZayas' memorandum has precipitated several actions, like Councilwoman Jen Ruggles' query to the Hawaii County Council whether her service on the council constitutes a war crime for which she could be held criminally liable. The answer from the Hawaii County corporate counsel (attorney) was in essence, "just ignore it like we usually do"! This is not only inadequate, it is terribly irresponsible legal advice. Incredibly he's admitting that the county's standing policy is to just ignore international law!

INTERVIEW ON THE MANDATE
Webstory on
the human right to peace on first page of OHCHR website on 4-5
April 2013
The mandate of the independent expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, which I had the honour to administer from 1 May 2012 to 30 April 2018, entails a generous synthesis of civil,
political, economic, social and cultural rights. The title requires
the expert to be truly independent, keep an open mind, conduct
his/her research objectively and without ideological prejudices,
listen to all sides of an argument and seek the opinion of all
stakeholders, including academics, experts, government officials and civil society, and impervious to instructions or influence from governments, lobbies, non-governmental organizations, the OHCHR or even subtle "peer pressure" from other rapporteurs. Independence is the added value of any mandate -- not just bean-counting or compiling, but trying to understand the problems, identify the causes, the obstacles, the phoney explanations, and pushing back against intimidation and the pressures of self-censorship
and political correctness. The essence of an independent expert
is not merely his/her expertise -- which must be considered
a given -- but the faculty of thinking both inside and outside the box, while rigorously
respecting the terms of reference laid down in the resolution
establishing the mandate, and observing the code of conduct
of rapporteurs. The mandate is not intended to duplicate or rehash
existing knowledge, to go along with mainstream views, to grandstand and condemn, but to offer new impulses, perspectives, emphasis, formulate constructive proposals so as
to advance the Purposes and Principles of the United Nations
-- with intellectual honesty and good faith. The defining characteristic of my six years on the job was: audiatur et altera pars -- listen to all sides. Another characteristic is giving reason priority over passion.
Methodologically a mandate holder should not rely
on templates, but instead listen and remain open to correction,
and avoid being identified with any ideology other than a commitment
to human dignity. While an
independent expert inevitably brings with him a certain cultural
and educational predisposition, he must be able to jump
over his own shadow and get at the facts. Naming
and shaming is seldom a solution to violations of human
rights. Experience shows that naming and shaming is mostly counter-productive. Far more important is uncovering the root causes of the
violations, such as endemic inequalities, the persistence of privilege
and the culture of violence. Important too is the anthropocentric
approach and the commitment to devise measures to
give recognition and reparation to the victims. The mandate holder must also have the
courage to formulate recommendations that entail more than a "band
aid" and
require changes of paradigm and mindset. Most importantly, a mandate
holder should have the courage to break the silence about topics
that are being ignored -- not only by States but by the human rights
industry, which has been increasingly influenced by major donors from big business
and special interests. He should give impulses and concrete recommendations
to governments and civil society, speak clear language, tear
down pretenses and double-standards. One thing he must not
be: a guardian of the status quo, a fig leaf for the international
community, so that everybody pretends to have a good conscience
and continue "business as usual".
Mandate holders may draw some inspiration
from Robert Frost's The
Road not Taken:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference
Mandate holders should also remember Horace's Epistles
-- Dimidium facti, qui coepit,
habet: sapere aude, / incipe (I, 2, 40).
Let's get started and then have the courage to use our judgment! Immanuel Kant also propagated this idea that became key to the Enlightenment
-- just two words: the imperative sapere
aude!

29 November -- lecture in Lund, Sweden. Bright students, excellent questions
27 November -- Carla took her oath as Swiss citizen. Pierre Maudet spoke to the 317 new Swiss citizens, reminding us that we have both rights and responsibilities. It was a dignified ceremony followed by a low-key reception.

18-21 October --Carla and I hiked the Foggenhorn, Nessel, Rossalp, Simplon, but could not swim in the Rotelsee located near the pass at an elevation of 2,028 m, since it is not August anymore and the water temperature must have been around 10 degrees C, still, it was fun getting my feet wet

12 August -- shooting stars over Geneva -- Carla, Martin and I watched the sky from 10 p.m. on and saw a wonderful display of shooting stars. I only saw 8 good ones -- but Martin thinks he saw 18! These falling stars are very quick and thus rather elusive!

19 July - Madrid withdraws its international arrest warrents against Puigdemont and 5 others. Had I been the German judge in Schleswig-Holstein I would have immediately thrown the case out as frivolous and vexatious .-- worse, as an abuse of process and corruption of the rule of law

******************
We may love USA citizens but we know we are not legally a part of the USA; moreover, we are not Americans from North America which is over 2,200 miles away from the Hawaiian Kingdom. We are an international recognized nation-state.It’s like an international body that’s a woman that gives birth to a child as a nation-state fifty years ago; then one of her other children says that child was never born. Do you take that child and try to shove it back into the womb of the mother and say that child never existed? How preposterous!!!We know the Hawaiian Kingdom gained recognition and acceptance as an equal nation-state since 1843 and as a neutral nation-state since 1854. It was the most literate country in its heyday and as of 1893, it was one of the wealthiest country per capita.The Hawaiian Kingdom was active internationally; part of the Universal Postal Union with its own postage stamps, over 90 legations and consulars throughout the world, was a Democratic Constitutional Monarchy, a modern progressive country which protected the human rights of its subjects and foreign citizens within its territorial jurisdiction.The people of the Hawaiian Kingdom supported their government and monarch as demonstrated by the Ku’e Petitions of 1897 that the USA government rejected the treaty of cessation; then resorted to the unlawful Newlands Resolution annexing the USA established Republic of Hawaii and not the Hawaiian Kingdom which was under USA belligerent occupation; defying the international Rule of Law and Rule of War.
The USA continues to violate the laws of occupation and the neutrality of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The USA makes a mockery of justice, freedom and democracy.Kaleikoa Ka’eo is correct in his thinking and I agree with him. A bunch of us fought against the Akaka Bill and helped to defeat it. OHA was given a directive to support the Akaka Bill which it does till today. We still fight against it knowing our history and the truth and how the lawless USA has manipulated it by misusing the terminology to trick everyone into believing the lies to hide the USA heinous international crimes it commits against the Hawaiian Kingdom and its people.
Being cognizant of our situation; we should not allow the USA and it’s agencies like OHA and the alleged-State of Hawaii to speak for us.
