: : (http://www.enenkio.wakeisland.org)SIR. : : : : : The following electronic message contains an urgent Diplomatic : : Communiqué and solicits your immediate attention. If it has reached you : : in error, please forward it to the proper state authority with sincere : : appreciation from H.M. King Hermios, residing in exile. : : * # * # * # * # * # * # BEGIN # * # * # * # * # * # * : : Your Excellency: : : Recent articles defaming the government of the Kingdom of EnenKio have : : been maliciously published under the guise of a Marshall Islands : : government warning against "fraudulent claims". We have once more : : admonished the writer of the articles in the Marshall Islands for : : disregarding indisputable facts which clearly discredit his biased report. : : We urge you to disregard all discourse in the media regarding the : : Kingdom of EnenKio which are not validated. To that end, you are : : cordially invited to contact this office with your specific questions or : : concerns. For your advice, the following statement was issued by the State : : Secretary of the Kingdom in reply: : : The Kingdom has never knowingly made any fraudulent claim whatsoever. : : No claim we have made has ever been shown to be fraudulent, nor has any : : claim ever come under or faltered from a challenge by anyone anywhere in the : : world. We are working vigorously to regain occupation of the ancestral : : property of H.M. King Hermios, to resolve the virtual "state of war" that : : exists with the United States government and to be accepted as an honorable : : state among nations. : : The Kingdom does not pretend to be "erting authority over land…within : : the geographical and political boundaries…" of the RMI. We are however : : striving to expel the armed imperialistic invasion forces of the United States : : from the shores of EnenKio Atoll so natural Marshallese supremacy can be : : reestablish there. As to allegations of fraud and constitutional violation, no : : one has dared to come forward with any such a charge. We say, let the issue : : be played out in the People’s venue for the record, not in a libelous weekly : : publication. While we do not wear our brief history on our shirtsleeves, our : : raison d’être is clearly mandated in the Preamble to the Constitution of : : EnenKio, which can be seen at our web site: : : http://www.enenkio.wakeisland.org. : : Referencing the news article in the Marshall Islands Journal entitled : : "’Kingdom of EnenKio sets up in New Zealand," of May 1st, the editor was : : advised, contrary to his report, that neither pports nor driver licenses can : : be purchased from the Kingdom’s web site. The Kingdom of EnenKio Atoll : : DOES NOT SELL PPORTS! If you have evidence to the contrary, our : : Foreign Ministry would appreciate your furnishing it to them so steps can be : : taken immediately to investigate the matter. You are advised if anyone sells : : or offers to sell an EnenKio pport, that such an act is patently . : : The published statement: "The group…claims to represent Iroijlaplap Murjel : : Hermios and the atolls of the Ratak chain…", is wholly false. I have : : explained this matter to the editor on several prior occasions and ample : : information is available at our internet site to refute the statement. The : : Kingdom does not represent any area outside of its territorial boundaries, as : : the Ratak atolls surely are. Contrary to their libelous statements, the : : Kingdom of EnenKio Atoll was not "created" by Robert Moore and he is not a : : "Honolulu-based attorney. H.M. King Murjel Hermios is the acknowledged : : hereditary Iroijlaplap of the northern Ratak atolls and is also First Monarch : : of the Kingdom, not of his own choice, but by a legal process and free choice : : of our citizens who participated in the founding of the nation in 1994. Such a : : noble and peaceful beginning is not too uncommon in world history. : : "Enenkio" (actually Enen-kio or Eneen-Kio, in reference to the atoll itself) is : : the first Marshallese name for a Marshallese atoll located roughly 300 miles : : north of Bok-ak (Taongi) Atoll. "Wake" is a fictitious moniker applied to the : : rediscovered Enen-kio atoll by unknown western society writers. : : The following is excerpted from a letter to the Secretary-General of the : : United Nations and is hereby offered for your highest consideration and : : eminent acceptance: : : Re: Notice of Accession to Hague Convention I for Pacific Settlement of : : International : : Disputes (1898) [UKTS 9 (1901) Cd. 798]; and Hague Convention for : : Pacific Settlement of International Disputes (1907) [UKTS 6 (1971 Cmnd. : : 4575]. : : Now Be It Hereby known, that the Iroijlaplap of the Northern Ratak Atolls : : of the Marshall Islands who holds native and aboriginal title over the atoll : : of EnenKio (incorrectly referred to as Wake, Wilkes and Peale Islands) as : : noted in the United Nations Constitution on Indigenous Peoples Rights, as : : Monarch of the Kingdom of EnenKio, hereby accedes as a "State" to the: : : Hague Convention I for Pacific Settlement of International : : Disputes (1898) [UKTS 9 (1901) Cd. 798]; and : : : : Hague Convention for Pacific Settlement of International : : Disputes (1907). [UKTS 6 (1971 Cmnd. 4575] : : [hereinafter collectively the "Conventions"]; said Conventions to apply to, : : inter alia, the Atoll of EnenKio (The Kingdom of EnenKio) and the Atolls of : : the Northern Ratak Atolls of the Marshall Islands; being Taongi, Aowan, : : Bikar, Utirik, Takar, Aur, Maloelap, Wotje, Erikub and Ailuk. : : It is intended by this Notice that the Kingdom of EnenKio be and hereby is : : an acceding "party" to the Convention, as the term "party" is signified in : : the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties UN DOC. A/CONF. 39/27, : : (1969), 63 A.J.I.L. 875 (1969), 8 I.L.M. 679 (1969) at Article 2, Paragraphs : : 1(a), (b) and (g), and Article 11. : : Furthermore, it is intended for purposes of this Notice that the Kingdom of : : EnenKio be treated as a Sovereign State with full "political existence of the : : state independent of recognition by other states" as expressly stated in the : : Convention on Rights and Duties of States, 49 Stat. 3097, T.S. 881, 165 : : L.N.T.S. 19, 3 Bevans 145, done at Montevideo, Uruguay on December 26, : : 1934 which states at Articles 2 and 3: : : "The federal state shall constitute a sole person in the eyes of international : : law." : : "The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by other : : states. Even before recognition the state has the right to defend its integrity : : and independence, to provide for its conservation and prosperity, and : : consequently to organize itself as it sees fit, to legislate upon its own : : interests, administer its services, and define the jurisdiction and : : competence of its courts." : : : : This Notice of Accession is respectfully given in accordance with the : : expressed statements made at the First Conference of Members of the : : Court, Permanent Court of Arbitration, Peace Palace, The Hague, 10 and : : 11 September 1993 "Summary of Views" at Page 4, Paragraph 14, to wit: : : ManyStates are not parties to either Convention. The PCA, and : : Government of the Netherlands as the depository of the Conventions, : : should continue their efforts to encourage States to become Parties to : : the Conventions. The Secretary-General was invited to develop a : : doentation package to facilitate the procedure for accession. In : : the course of discussion, one Member indicated his Government's : : intention to shortly accede to the Convention. : : Furthermore these rights are respectfully requested under Resolution 1514, : : on the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Territories : : and Peoples, adopted in 1960, which states: : : The subjugation of peoples to alien subjugation, domination and : : exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is : : contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and is an impediment to : : the promotion of world peace and cooperation. : : All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right : : they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their : : economic, social and cultural development. . . . : : Immediatesteps shall be taken, in Trust and Non-Self-Governing : : Territories or all other territories which have not yet attained : : independence, to transfer all powers to the peoples of those territories, : : without any conditions or reservations, in accordance with their freely : : expressed will and desire, without any distinction as to race, creed or : : color, in order to enable them to enjoy complete independence and : : freedom. : : Notice is hereby further given that the Kingdom of EnenKio requests : : immediate access to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague to : : settle matters of the occupation by the United States Government of : : EnenKio Atoll (Wake, Wilkes and Peale Islands) in order to peacefully : : adjudicate the disputes by arbitration. : : It is further hereby proclaimed that the Government of the Kingdom of : : EnenKio shares the opinion of the Members of the Permanent Court of : : Arbitration, Peace Palace, The Hague, who participated in the First : : Conference of Members of the Court on 10 and 11 September 1993 : : expressed in the "Summary of Views" that "Peaceful settlement of : : international disputes is the cornerstone of international law," and further : : the Members’ comments found at Page 4, Paragraph 15, to wit: : : Lackof financial resources should not prevent a party from having : : recourse to the PCA. It would therefore be useful to create a fund out : : of which parties with limited resources could be compensated in some : : measure for the costs they incur in connection with proceedings before : : the PCA. Consideration should also be given to providing the services of : : the PCA in arbitration taking place at locations other than The Hague, : : e.g., at regional arbitration centers like Cairo or Kuala Lumpur, or : : even in the territory of a developing country party to a dispute, if the : : parties to the dispute so agree. [Emphasis added] : : Please take further notice that authorized representatives of the : : Government of the Kingdom of EnenKio have previously attempted to : : access courts in the Hague without success to put forward, and have : : adjudicated, the case over the settlement and seizure of EnenKio : : Atoll. : : EnenKio Atoll has a historic place in Marshallese tradition and has been, : : until the more recent occupation by the United States Government, : : controlled by the Iroijlaplap of the Northern Ratak Atolls whose ancestor : : by hereditary right is the Honorable Murjel Hermios. : : To this effect be it known that 1960 Declaration formed the basis of the UN : : decolonization practice, and, in 1963, the General embly established : : what became known as the Decolonization Committee, to ist in the : : implementation of the Declaration. : : In 1975, the ICJ considered the status of the right to self-determination in : : its advisory opinion in the Western Sahara Case.(10) Since the 1880s, : : Western Sahara had been a Spanish colony. In 1966 the General embly : : decided that Spain should hold a referendum to enable the population of : : the territory to exercise freely its right of self-determination. Before the : : referendum was held, however, both Morocco and Mauritania erted : : claims to Western Sahara on the basis of "historic title" predating Spain's : : colonization in the 19th century. The General embly requested an : : advisory opinion from the ICJ on the question of the legal ties between : : Western Sahara and Morocco and Mauritania. In the course of its opinion, : : the Court considered the basic principles governing the de-colonization : : policy of the General embly. : : . . . . As the Court stated in its Advisory Opinion of 21 June 1971 [in : : the Namibia case], : : . . . the subsequent development of international law in regard to non- : : self-governing territories, as enshrined in the Charter of the United : : nations, made the principle of self-determination applicable to them : : all. (1971 ICJ 31) : : The principle of self-determination as a right of peoples, and its : : application for the purpose of bringing all colonial situations to a : : speedy end, were enunciated in the Declaration on the Granting of : : Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. . . . The : : [Declaration] thus confirms and emphasizes that the application of : : the right of self-determination requires a free and genuine expression : : of the will of the peoples concerned. . . . : : Generalembly resolution 1514 provided the basis for the process of : : decolonization which has resulted since 1960 in the creation of many : : States which are today Members of the United Nations. It is : : complemented by General embly resolution 1541. . . . The latter : : resolution contemplates for non-self-governing territories more than : : one possibility, namely: : : (a) emerge as a sovereign independent State; : : (b) free ociation with an independent State; of : : (c) integration with an independent State. : : The validity of the principle of self-determination, defined as the need : : to pay regard to the freely expressed will of peoples, is not affected by : : the fact that in certain cases the General embly has dispensed with : : the requirement of consulting the inhabitants of a given territory. : : Those instances were based either on the consideration that a certain : : population did not constitute a "people" entitled to self-determination : : or on the conviction that a consultation was totally unnecessary, in : : view of special cirstances. . . . : : The pronouncements of the Court thus indicate that a norm of : : international law has emerged applicable to the de-colonization of those : : non-self-governing territories which are under the aegis of the United : : Nations. In this case we call for the immediate evacuation of the island of : : EnenKio by the United States Government and the return of the island to : : the Iroijlaplap of the Northern Ratak Atolls and the Monarch of the : : Kingdom of EnenKio, H.M. King Murjel Hermios. : : * # * # * # * # * # * # END OF DOENT # * # * # * # * # * # * : : Correspondence concerning this Notice of Accession or any other matter : : may be directed to the State Secretary, at the following address : : : Government of the Kingdom of EnenKio Atoll : : Post Office Box 8441 : : Honolulu, Hawaii, USA : : 96830-0441 : : In closing, the government of the Kingdom of EnenKio Atoll wishes to avail : : itself of this opportunity to renew to your Excellency the urances of its : : highest consideration. : : Cordially yours, : : Cap'n Kermit Rydell
