FREE HAWAI`I ON THE MOVE - THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
A Virtual Panel Event -
THE UNʻS MISTAKE - SELF-DETERMINATION IN HAWAI`I
In 1959 the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 1469 under the mistaken belief that the people of Hawaii had exercised their right to self-determination and consented to be integrated into the United States of America. The error aided and abetted the United States in its subjugation and pillaging of the people and lands of the Hawaiian Islands, causing serious injury and trauma to three generations of Hawaiians, depriving them of the right to self-governance and access to and use of their own lands and resources.
This panel asserts it is time for the UN to meet its obligation to correct its error and ensure just remedy for the sixty years of abuses of the human, civil, political and development rights of the people of the Hawaiian Islands.
This event is under the auspices of Incomindios, a Non-Governmental Organization in consultative status with the Economic and Security Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.
It is also co-sponsored by the Koani Foundation and the Peace For Okinawa Coalition.
MODERATOR – Mr. Robert Kajiwara
