Office of Compliance & Occupation Monitoring
The Office of Compliance & Occupation Monitoring (OCOM)
Documenting Accountability During Prolonged Occupation
By the Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)
Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands — Government in Continuity
Why OCOM Exists
The Office of Compliance & Occupation Monitoring (OCOM) exists because prolonged occupation without accountability creates harm through silence, normalization, and administrative denial.
Under international law, occupation does not extinguish sovereignty. It imposes duties.
OCOM was ratified by the Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS) to fulfill a lawful and necessary function:
to monitor, document, and preserve evidence of compliance or non-compliance by the occupying power—namely the United States Government—and its local administrative proxy, the State of Hawaii.
OCOM does not confront.
OCOM does not enforce.
OCOM records—and time does the rest.
Legal Foundation: Why Monitoring Is Lawful
OCOM operates under well-established legal frameworks that remain binding during occupation:
1. Hawaiian Kingdom law in continuity
2. Hague Regulations of 1907 (Law of Occupation)
3.Geneva Convention IV (1949)
4. Customary International Humanitarian Law
These bodies of law impose affirmative obligations on an occupying power, including:
Respecting existing laws and institutions
Protecting civilians and their property
Prohibiting jurisdictional usurpation
Preventing collective punishment and administrative abuse
When these obligations are ignored, documentation becomes a legal necessity, not a political act.
OCOM exists to ensure that violations are not lost to time.
What OCOM Does — Precisely
OCOM is a non-coercive, civilian, evidentiary office.
Its authority is documentary, not punitive.
Core Functions
OCOM systematically:
Monitors actions of courts, agencies, officials, and institutions operating under occupation
Tracks notices and directives lawfully issued by OHS
Records responses, partial responses, or silence
Certifies non-response as default after documented deadlines
Classifies violations (administrative, procedural, jurisdictional, grave breach indicators)
Preserves evidence with strict chain-of-custody standards
Identifies patterns of conduct, not isolated incidents
Compiles dossiers for future adjudicative or humanitarian review
Every step narrows deniability.
Every missed deadline strengthens the record.
Monitoring the Occupying Power and Its Proxy
Under the law of occupation, administrative bodies acting without sovereign authority remain legally constrained.
OCOM monitors, among other conduct:
Courts exercising jurisdiction without lawful standing
Agencies enforcing statutes incompatible with occupation law
Officials ignoring protected status notices
Systemic refusal to acknowledge lawful inquiries
Retaliation, obstruction, or procedural avoidance
Silence is not neutral.
Silence becomes evidence.
OCOM does not accuse emotionally.
OCOM timestamps reality.
How OCOM “Cites” Crimes Without Enforcing
OCOM does not issue criminal sentences.
Instead, it performs a more durable function: legal positioning.
The OCOM Escalation Ladder
Notice Issued – opportunity to comply
Deadline Assigned – time becomes operative
Silence Logged – non-response recorded
Default Certified – facts crystallize
Pattern Established – repetition removes accident defenses
Dossier Compiled – prosecutorial-grade record
External Review Opened – humanitarian or international channels
At every stage, the occupying authority retains one safe option:
voluntary compliance before record finalization.
Why This Matters for the Future
History does not turn on outrage.
It turns on records.
OCOM ensures that when future lawful adjudication occurs—whether domestic, international, or humanitarian—the narrative is not controlled by those who refused to respond.
By preserving:
Dates
Names
Jurisdictional claims
Contradictions
Silence
OCOM converts everyday administrative misconduct into legible legal evidence.
Relationship to Civilian Protection
OCOM works in operational parallel with the Office of Detainee Protection & Habeas Affairs (ODPHA).
OCOM documents systemic patterns
ODPHA protects individuals
Together, they form the evidentiary backbone of Hawaiian Kingdom continuity under occupation.
Authority and Restraint
OCOM derives authority from OHS and operates under a clearly defined chain of responsibility within the Hawaiian Kingdom in continuity.
It is precisely because OCOM does not threaten, detain, or coerce that its records carry legitimacy.
Restraint is not weakness.
Restraint is what makes the record unassailable.
An Open Opportunity to Comply
OCOM’s work is not hostile.
It is procedural.
Every notice issued is an invitation:
“Respond. Clarify. Cure. Before the record closes.”
Compliance remains the least damaging option.
Silence is simply documented—
and time ensures the consequences.
Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)
Outrecording denials. Outlasting excuses.
Making accountability inevitable through law and time.
