: The following electronic message contains an

: 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.

- Present Status -
EnenKio is a sovereign state
The government of the Kingdom of EnenKio was established in 1994 under authority and by direction of Head of State and the hereditary Iroijlaplap (Paramount Chief) of the Northern Ratak atolls of the Marshall Islands. The Constitution of EnenKio established and set forth the authority and responsibility of the government and established duties and succession protocol of the Monarch and Royal Family. EnenKio is a Limited Constitutional Monarchy. Representative citizens, acting as Founding Fathers, ratified the Constitution, recognized His Majesty King Murjel Hermios as Head of State, affirmed their resolve in the Declaration of Sovereignty and determined the boundaries of the new Kingdom of EnenKio.
Notice that EnenKio was a new sovereign state was sent to representatives of the Republic of the Marshall islands, United States, United Nations General embly, UN Security Council, South Pacific Commission, NATO, world media, Pacific Island nations and other nations. Legal action was then taken to set forth the claim against the foreign occupational forces of the United States, which failed to ever answer any actions and now stands in default with respect to demands for compensation and for ly occupying of the king's ancestral lands. The effect of legal demands filed in U.S. federal court, unanswered complaints and failure to reply now have the force of law in commerce, under national and international laws and conventions.
EnenKio is an "offshore haven for criminals and money launderers"
Actually, the United States did reply — not directly to EnenKio, but with an insidious merciless campaign of disinformation broadly dispersed across the Internet and to its trading partners. One glaring example is a U.S. Department of State Report which compares EnenKio to the likes of Thailand, Colombia and Russia under the topic of "Money Laundering and Financial Crimes". This official report — International Narcotics Control Strategy, 1998 — categorizes EnenKio as an Offshore Financial Center. This is a curious label as EnenKio has no bank, no financial center and no money to launder. It goes on to refer to another state and "Enenkio" (sic) as "...mere figments of fertile imaginations...", and as "...entirely fraudulent in intent and practice." The United States offers NO proof nor is it known to have ever found any. In fact, in February 2001, the Securities & Exchange Commission, together with other federal agencies of the United States, concluded an exhaustive investigation that failed to turn up even one shred (or hanging chad) of evidence of impropriety — in intent or practice.
EnenKio exists "only in cyberspace"
Such a claim might be made for Yahoo™, Windows Magazine™ or any number of "dot.coms". Why, the United States itself claims over 25,000 web sites hosting millions of pages. Is this not a criteria for existence in cyberspace? EnenKio as a state has its roots in a 1987 doent, but really, it is founded upon more than 2000 years of historical lineage preceding the ascendancy of the Hermios Marshallese family to their rightful, recognized traditional post. The EnenKio web site did not appear until 1998. It is a mystery how any reasonable person could examine the few dozens of posted doents, laws and letters — thousands of pages are not posted — and then say: EnenKio exists only in cyberspace.
Today's Challenge for Tomorrow's Future
Every avenue is being explored to raise capital for projects described in the development plan. Bond, stamp and shipbuilding programs have commenced. Applications are invited for pports, business licenses and ship registration. For those qualified individuals who wish to join this effort or encourage us to gain recognition among states of the first order, we have a need for Consuls and Diplomatic representatives in foreign offices, Trade Missions and other diplomatic posts.
Additional human resources and people knowledgeable in international policy, diplomatic protocol, spaceport and aircraft operations, telecommunications, shipping, manufacturing, chemical engineering and a host of other disciplines will be required to design and attract development projects and implement envisioned programs. Contractual arrangements for professional consultation and services in law, finance, commerce, economics and others are being actively sought.
All who have an interest and are so moved, you are encouraged to submit a Personal Involvement form. By submitting the form, you will be advised of the latest developments, provided an outline of needs and may at some point be invited to actively participate in development and promotion of EnenKio and to become a citizen of the fledgling nation.
Salutation
On behalf of the Second Monarch, His Majesty King Remios Hermios, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Lobadreo Hermios and all representatives and citizens of EnenKio, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sincerely acknowledges your involvement, interest, prayers and support.
