KE AUPUNI UPDATE - MARCH 2024
The Roadblock at the UN...
The biggest obstacle to reinstating Hawaii as an independent country is UNGA Resolution 1469, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 12, 1959. Resolution 1469 accepted a report it received from the United States that the people of Hawaii had voted to become the 50th State of the United States. Even though we know now that the “statehood referendum” was a complete sham, UNGA Resolution 1469 still stands, blocking the way to a free Hawaii.
UNGA Resolution 1469 gives international legitimacy to the United States’ claim of dominion and jurisdiction over the Hawaiian Islands. It stands today as the official position of the UN and its 193 member countries, effectively insulating the United States and the State of Hawaii, from legal challenges, liability and accountability for otherwise clearly unlawful acts against the Hawaiian nation since 1893.
When lawsuits are brought by Hawaiians against the US for the illegal overthrow or the illegal annexation or the illegal land grabs –– anything that argues the US’ unlawful jurisdiction –– the courts dismiss the cases by citing, “this is not a legal question, it’s a political question”. Usually left unsaid is… “and the political question has been settled”.
So, what settled the political question of Hawaii’s political status? The 1959 “statehood plebiscite”, which was actually a veiled and skewed UN referendum for decolonization. When the US reported to the UN that the people of Hawaii exercised their right to self-determination and overwhelmingly chose to join the US, the UN, without verifying whether or not the US report was truthful, extended its approval by adopting Resolution 1469, thus validating that the political question was settled: Hawaii had been absorbed into the United States. That is where we are stuck, and will remain stuck, unless Resolution 1469 is removed.
At the UN in New York (where this issue of Ke Aupuni Update is being written) we have been developing a strategy to remove the obstacle that is Resolution 1469. How? We are asking members of the UN General Assembly who are sympathetic to our cause, to submit a resolution to the General Assembly calling for a procedural review of the conditions and circumstances that led to their adoption of Resolution 1469 in 1959. It is simply a procedural review of an action by the UN, not a direct challenge to the UN or the US.
However, conducting such a review will quickly uncover the blatant fraud by the U.S. to con the UN General Assembly into erroneously adopting Resolution 1469. Upon discovering that error and realizing they are complicit in fraud and the prolonged illegal occupation of a peaceful and friendly sovereign nation (Hawaii), the UN General Assembly would then be categorically obligated to annul that flawed and offending resolution.
This would cause a 180-degree turnaround. Without UNGA Resolution 1469 to lean on, the United States’ claim to Hawaii collapses, and by default, the Hawaiian Kingdom, the sovereign nation in continuity, springs forward to be restored as the lawful governing entity over the lands and people of the Hawaiian Islands.
The removal of Resolution 1469 will also open the United States to legal challenges and judgements for the 131 years of criminal acts of piracy, pillaging and crimes against humanity, which would result in the United States not only withdrawing from our country, but providing massive restitution for crimes and damages.
But most importantly, it will mean the return of control of the assets, operations and governance of the Hawaiian Islands to the Hawaiian Kingdom and its Aloha ʻĀina…the people who love their country...
