: : : (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 : A Message fr : om EnenKioOn 1 May : A Message from EnenKio : On 1 May 2001, the following was received in my e-mail box (three times, and a fourth on 4 May!) and is posted here verbatim. Save for indentation for proper posting, nothing has been added or removed from the message. : However, I do not take any responsibility for the content of this message. : Subject: EnenKio truth : Date: Tue, 1 May 2001 15:06:23 -1000 (HST) : From: enenkio@webtv.net : To: stevenfscharff@netscape.net : - 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. : See also: : Political Status : Under Occupation by the United States : Robert Moore, Minister Plenipotentiary, Kingdom of EnenKio Foreign Trade Mission : DO-MO-CO Manager, Remios Hermios Eleemosynary Trust, Majuro, Marshall Islands : http://www.enenkio.org : On 1 July 2001, the following was received by e-mail. Again, save for indentation for proper posting, nothing has been added to nor taken from the message. : Subject: EnenKio - truth !!! : Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2001 21:01:46 -1000 (HST) : From: enenkio@webtv.net : To: stevenfscharff@netscape.net : Editorial Comment : Re: Task Force Criticizes U. S. Foreign Policy : The article above published in the Honolulu Advertiser and was originated by the Los Angeles Times. The nonpartisan task force report was highly critical of the U. S. State Department, citing long term mismanagement, ill-equipped, "downward spiral" and a serious state of disrepair. : Now, we are not gloating over the woes of the U. S. State Department. We frankly have confidence that Gen. Colin Powell will take action to correct applicable shortcomings of the prior administration. However, we are quick to point out that it was this same U. S. State Department that attempted to smear the flawless reputation of the Kingdom of EnenKio by publishing the following quote under MONEY LAUNDERING AND FINANCIAL CRIMES heading: : "...The Kingdom of Enenkio (sic) Atol (sic) [is] entirely fraudulent in intent and practice." (Source: International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, 1998, Released by the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law, Enforcement Affairs, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC, February 1999) : Where not one shred of evidence or bonefide citation of fraud on the part of EnenKio has ever been brought forward, internationally or otherwise, it seems to us the State Department has a lot of gall to broadcast such condemnation when its own corpus is rotten at the core. We simply point this out so you, the enlightened public, can decide on the merits of actions and not on a toss pot calling the kettle black. : We are personally and intimately familiar with the officials and activities of EnenKio and continue to scrutinize their progress in isting the inhabitants of the Ratak atolls to a better way of life. The U. S. State Department hasn't in 8 decades done for the Marshallese what EnenKio has attempted to do in its short life of 8 years. If not for this and other agencies of the United States, settled on on preserving its colonial domination in the Pacific islands and thwarting anyone who opposes it, the people of the Marshall Islands, and the rest of the Pacific for that matter, would have long ago realized social stability and prosperity. : - or - : U.S. SECURITY & EXCHANGE COMMISSION SEEKS INJUNCTION ON SALE OF ENENKIO BONDS ADVISORY : November 7, 2000: Honolulu, USA -- : TO: Honolulu Advertiser; Honolulu Star Bulletin : FROM: EnenKio Ministry of Foreign Affairs : REPLY: Mr. Moore is prohibited from talking to you by order of the United States Security & Exchange Commission (hereafter "SEC"). The action against Mr. Moore is an unprovoked attack against a private citizen of the United States, not against an official representative of the Kingdom of EnenKio. The following reply is therefore issued in observance of the sovereign authority of the government of EnenKio to confront disinformation and to provide the whole truth. You are advised that the SEC has not charged the Kingdom of EnenKio with anything. The SEC has no jurisdiction over the Kingdom of EnenKio, a sovereign Pacific Island state. The SEC argument is made solely against Mr. Moore and his personal business affairs. Please be VERY clear about this. : Despite heavy scrutiny, the SEC has proved nothing and there were no findings of fact as a result of exhaustive SEC investigations. In other words, SEC has NO proof of wrongdoing by the Kingdom of EnenKio or by any person acting in their official capacities as representatives of the Kingdom of EnenKio. : The only thing the SEC accomplished was to prove its arrogance and ignorance, first by cirventing lawful processes and then by bullying up on a single individual veteran-of-war who proudly served the USA. Mr. Moore has spent over 20 years trying to help defenseless Marshallese families over whom the USA has historically dominated, disenfranchised, subverted and literally poisoned with nuclear weapons testing. Lastly, EnenKio has never gotten a fair shake from the media.... ever. They generally have an agenda that fails to honor truth in reporting, but promotes the dissemination of ad copy by sensationalizing events rather than embracing impartial disclosure of factual information. When we choose to respond to the recent attacks on the credibility of our national sovereignty, we will do so in full at our site. Much is there now if one can keep an open mind. We haven't found that to be in existence in the media.... yet. : Reply to: EnenKio : Robert Moore, Minister Plenipotentiary, Kingdom of EnenKio Foreign Trade Mission : DO-MO-CO Manager, Remios Hermios Eleemosynary Trust, Majuro, Marshall Islands : http://www.enenkio.org : : Return to Warnings page : : Email: stevenfscharff@netscape.net :
