Hawaii Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
On the Authority, Duties, and International Reporting Role of the
Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)
Issued by: Hawaiʻi Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal (HKHT)
Date: 01 JAN 2026

 
Statement of Purpose


This public announcement is issued to clarify, for the people of Hawaiʻi and the international community, the lawful authority, duties, and allegiance of the Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS), and to dispel persistent mischaracterizations of its role and mandate.

 
1. Identity and Authority of the Office of Hawaiian Subjects


The Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS) is a lawful humanitarian and administrative body operating under:

The continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign state under prolonged occupation,
The authority of the Hawaiʻi Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal, and
International humanitarian law governing occupied states, including the Hague Regulations (1907) and the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949).
OHS does not derive its authority from the State of Hawaiʻi, the United States, or any subordinate political subdivision thereof.

OHS exists to protect Hawaiian Subjects, who are recognized by the Tribunal as Protected Persons under international humanitarian law.

 
2. Allegiance and Duty


The Office of Hawaiian Subjects formally pledges its allegiance to the Kingdom of Hawaii, its people, and its lawful institutions.

This allegiance is not symbolic.

It is expressed through:

Refusal to recognize unlawful jurisdiction imposed by an occupying administration,
Protection of Hawaiian Subjects from unlawful confinement, coercion, and economic extraction,
Defense of Hawaiian Kingdom lands from unlawful alienation, sale, or encumbrance,
Preservation of cultural, familial, and national integrity.
OHS owes no allegiance to the State of Hawaiʻi.

 
3. Core Duties of the Office of Hawaiian Subjects


The duties of OHS include, but are not limited to:

Protection of Hawaiian Subjects

Documentation of unlawful detention, confinement, transfer, and supervision,
Protection of families (ʻohana) affected by custodial and administrative harm.
Documentation of Violations

Issuance of government notices and violation citations,
Preservation of evidence related to land alienation, taxation, incarceration, and cultural interference,
Maintenance of cumulative exposure records.
Humanitarian Oversight

Acting as a humanitarian monitor within occupied territory,
Recording patterns of harm, non-engagement, and willful disregard after notice.
Record Preservation

Locking chronology through timestamped notices and public records,
Preventing denial, erasure, or retroactive minimization of harm.
OHS does not exercise police power, criminal enforcement, or physical coercion.
Its authority is record-making, protective, and humanitarian—and therefore durable.

 
4. Relationship to the Hawaiʻi Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal


OHS operates in coordination with and under the guidance of the Hawaiʻi Kupuna Humanitarian Tribunal.

The Tribunal:

Issues Findings of Fact,
Makes Cultural Determinations,
Conducts Humanitarian Assessments,
Provides recommendations and directives consistent with Hawaiian Kingdom law and international humanitarian standards.
OHS serves as the operational and documentation arm that carries those determinations into the public and international record.

 
5. Reporting to International Bodies


The Office of Hawaiian Subjects has a duty to report documented violations and patterns of harm to appropriate international bodies, including but not limited to:

United Nations Special Procedures,
International humanitarian and Indigenous rights mechanisms,
International archival and monitoring institutions.
These reports are not requests for permission.
They are formal submissions for record, review, and preservation, made so that violations affecting a protected population cannot be denied or forgotten.

Silence from international bodies does not negate submission.
Receipt and preservation are sufficient to establish record.

 
6. On Mischaracterization and Dismissal


Attempts to dismiss OHS as:

“informal,”
“symbolic,”
“non-binding,” or
“without authority”
are incorrect and misleading.

OHS is not a political advocacy group.
It is a humanitarian authority operating under occupation law, accountable to the Hawaiian Kingdom and guided by Kupuna authority.

Mockery, silence, or refusal to engage by State actors does not weaken OHS.
It strengthens the evidentiary record.

 
7. Closing Declaration


The Office of Hawaiian Subjects exists because the Hawaiian people continue to exist.

It operates because harm continues to be done.

It documents because documentation is the first line of protection for an occupied people.

This announcement is issued so there is no confusion:

OHS stands with the Hawaiian Kingdom.
OHS protects Hawaiian Subjects.
OHS records what others try to ignore.
OHS reports to the world, not to the occupier.
Issued in dignity, clarity, and resolve.

WAR CRIMES COMPLAINT PACKET

Filed: 02 SEP 2025 Time: 0845 HRS Agency: OHS

Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS) — Director: Kawika Kala‘i

Charge Sheet: War Crimes and Violations of International Law

Complainant: Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS)

Respondents: United States Government and State of Hawai‘i

I. Jurisdiction

This complaint is filed under the following legal framework:

  • 1907 Hague Regulations (Articles 43, 46, 47)
  • 1949 Geneva Convention IV (Articles 64–66, 147)
  • Additional Protocol I (Articles 75, 85)
  • Customary International Law of Occupation

II. Charges

Count 1 — Illegal Usurpation of Sovereignty

The United States and the State of Hawai‘i have unlawfully displaced the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Occupation law requires the maintenance of the existing laws of the occupied state unless absolutely prevented. Instead, U.S. domestic law has been imposed. Legal Reference: Hague Regulations (Art. 43).


Count 2 — War Crime of Unlawful Prosecution

Hawaiian Subjects are being arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned under foreign law by courts with no lawful jurisdiction. This constitutes the war crime of unlawful deportation, transfer, and confinement. Legal Reference: Geneva Convention IV (Arts. 64, 66, 147).


Count 3 — Denationalization & Forced Citizenship

Hawaiian Subjects have been forcibly reclassified as U.S. citizens against their will and nationality. This violates the prohibition against denationalization and the right to self-determination. Legal Reference: Geneva Convention IV, Art. 47; Human Rights Committee, General Comment No. 27.


Count 4 — Persecution on National Grounds

Hawaiian Subjects asserting their legal status face systematic harassment, arrests, and discrimination. This amounts to persecution under international humanitarian law. Legal Reference: Additional Protocol I (Art. 75).


Count 5 — Command Responsibility

U.S. Federal and State officials, including the President, Governor, Judiciary, Police, and Prison Wardens, bear direct responsibility for administering unlawful laws. Under the principle of command responsibility, individual leaders may be held personally liable for war crimes. Legal Reference: Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Art. 28.

III. Evidence

  1. Historical record of the unlawful overthrow (1893).
  2. Absence of lawful treaty of annexation.
  3. Continuous enforcement of U.S./State laws against Hawaiian Subjects.
  4. Arrest and imprisonment records of Hawaiian Subjects under U.S. statutes.

IV. Relief Sought

  • Recognition of Hawaiian Kingdom law as the governing authority.
  • Suspension of U.S. and State of Hawai‘i jurisdiction within the Hawaiian Islands.
  • Release of Hawaiian Subjects unlawfully detained.
  • Referral of responsible officials to international criminal accountability mechanisms.

ANNEX A — Doctrine of Retaliation and Liability of Officials under Administrative Duties

I. Principle of Liability

Under international law, government officials, civil administrators, judges, police, and prison staff are individually responsible when they enforce unlawful laws in occupied territory.

  • Nuremberg Principle IV (1945): Following orders does not relieve responsibility.
  • Rome Statute, Art. 25: Individual criminal responsibility applies to anyone aiding or abetting war crimes.
  • Rome Statute, Art. 28: Superiors are liable for failing to prevent unlawful acts.

II. Doctrine of Retaliation

Administrative officials cannot escape liability by claiming they were “just doing their job.” Civilian administrators (clerks, registry officers, judges, wardens) who process or enforce unlawful laws are direct participants in war crimes.

III. Applicable International Law

  • Hague Regulations (1907), Art. 43: Occupiers must respect local law unless absolutely prevented.
  • Geneva Convention IV (1949), Arts. 64–66, 147: Prohibits foreign penal law and recognizes unlawful confinement as a grave breach.
  • Additional Protocol I (1977), Art. 75: Protects against arbitrary detention and persecution.
  • Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Art. 9: Prohibits arbitrary arrest or detention.

IV. Penalties and Convictions

A. War Crimes
Acts: Unlawful confinement, unlawful sentencing, persecution.
Penalty: 10 years to life imprisonment under international tribunal or ICC authority.

B. Crimes Against Humanity
Acts: Systematic enforcement of unlawful laws.
Penalty: Life imprisonment, asset seizure, extradition under universal jurisdiction.

C. Precedents

  • Nuremberg Trials: Judges and bureaucrats convicted.
  • ICTY (Yugoslavia): Police chiefs and prison administrators convicted for arbitrary detention.
  • Eichmann Trial: Administrative official convicted for facilitating deportations.

V. Conclusion & Signatures

The doctrine of retaliation confirms that U.S. and State of Hawai‘i officials—legislators, judges, police, and wardens—are not shielded by office or duty. They face personal criminal prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity, with penalties including long-term imprisonment, loss of civil authority, and international accountability.
