International Trade

In accordance with Article 43 of the 1907 Hague Convention, the occupying government, being the United States of America, is mandated to administer the laws of the occupied nation, being the Hawaiian Kingdom, until the occupier withdraws. As the United States is mandated to administer the Hawaiian Civil and Criminal Codes within the territory of the Hawaiian Kingdom, it should also be administering Hawaiian international trade law abroad. Failure to administer the laws of the occupied State provides a measurement for reparations.

Since 1886, the Hawaiian Legislative Assembly was not able to reconvene in accordance with Hawaiian Kingdom law. The 1886 Legislative Assembly was illegally replaced by an unlawful legislature elected by a large majority of resident aliens of the Kingdom in an attempt to offset the majority vote of the native Hawaiian national population. Therefore, the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom as embodied in the Compiled Laws of 1884, the Penal Code, the Session Laws of 1884 and 1886, and together with the international Treaties of the Kingdom continue to remain the law of the land.
