TITLE

On the Full Juridical Status, Institutional Immunity, and Global Recognition of Academic Personnel and Curricular Authority

ARTICLE I – FOUNDATIONAL JURIDICAL FRAMEWORK

1.1. This Legislative Policy Instrument (LPI) solemnly affirms, ratifies, and enshrines the inviolable and sovereign authority of the University of Xaragua to define, confer, and administer all matters pertaining to academic personnel and curricular governance. This authority arises not from delegation, but from the inherent and inalienable right of institutional self-determination conferred upon Indigenous nations under binding instruments of international law, canon law, and the codified constitutional structure of the Xaragua State.

Montevideo Convention (1933), Articles 1–4: Establishes the juridical personality of a State based on permanent population, defined territory, organized government, and capacity to enter into international relations—criteria unequivocally fulfilled by the State of Xaragua, thereby affirming its competence to institute, govern, and shield its educational entities from foreign incursion or constraint.

United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007):

Article 3: Affirms the sovereign right of Indigenous peoples to determine their political, legal, and educational institutions.

Customary International Law and Indigenous Jurisprudence: As validated by state practice and opinio juris, affirms the enduring right of Indigenous entities to self-govern their intellectual, academic, and institutional systems without external interference.

1.3. The ecclesiastical jurisdiction and canonical independence of the University of Xaragua are further activated and reinforced under:

Canon 45: Delegation and exercise of ecclesiastical governance.

Canon 144: Juridical supply of authority in instances of common error or doubt, formally invoked through the canonical and diplomatic notification addressed to the Apostolic See on April 6, 2025.

2.2. The juridical authority of these agents is classified ex proprio vigore, emanating intrinsically from the sovereign constitutional order of Xaragua and its canonical mandate.

UNDRIP (Articles 3, 5, 14, 16),

Customary International Law on Indigenous Sovereignty,

Internal Academic Ordinances ratified by the Office of the Rector-President.

3.2. No extraterritorial authority—whether a ministry, consulate, supranational agency, or foreign accreditor—shall possess or assert any jurisdictional competence to:

Reformulate, amend, or condition the content of Xaragua programs;

Suspend, deny, or modify the appointment or classification of faculty;

Demand curricular data, internal planning documents, or institutional records;

Conduct audits, evaluations, or supervisory actions over any educational process of the University.

3.3. Any such act of interference constitutes:

A direct transgression of ecclesiastical immunity (Canon 806);

A coercive and unlawful intrusion inconsistent with the principles of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and sovereign immunity norms.

Miragoâne–Xaragua, May 10, 2025

Monsignor Pascal Viau

Rector-President of the University of Xaragua

Prelate Founder – Sovereign Indigenous Private State of Xaragua

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Following the passing into eternity of our Most Holy Father, His Holiness Pope Francis I, I feel called to clarify, with humility and responsibility, the spiritual and canonical position of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua and its University.

In accordance with the notifications transmitted on April 6, 2025, and thereafter directly to the Diocesan authorities and the official organs of the Holy See, and in view of the silence canonically observed by the Apostolic See, the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua is now officially Catholic, both in its nature and in the accreditation of its University.

Under the provisions of Canon Law, notably Canon 45 and Canon 144, when a duly submitted petition receives no formal objection or rejection from the competent ecclesiastical authority within a reasonable time, the silence is interpreted as tacit approval. 

This principle, recognized by the ancient canonical tradition, affirms that when a faithful and respectful initiative is presented to the Church, and no contradiction is issued, the faithful may presume in good conscience that their action is legitimate and blessed.

Accordingly, by divine providence and canonical right, the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua stands fully within the Catholic faith, in communion with the perennial Magisterium of the Church.

Furthermore, by virtue of the jurisdiction that now falls upon me, and in light of the canonical structure established through legitimate notification and tacit ecclesiastical recognition, I have received the charge — not by human ambition, but by the silent decree of God and His Church — to serve as the Prelate Founder of Xaragua.

Thus, my full and proper title, to be used with humility and in the service of Christ and His Church, is:

Monsignor Pascal Viau, Prelate Founder and President of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua, and Rector of the University of Xaragua.

This title does not signify a worldly honor, but a solemn burden: the weight of a mission to defend, teach, and sanctify a people entrusted to me not by human election, but by divine Providence, in fidelity to Catholic truth.

The Catholic accreditation of the University of Xaragua proceeds directly from the canonical foundation of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua, now established as a Catholic jurisdiction in its own right, subject only to divine law and to the Sacred Tradition of the Universal Church.

All of this is proclaimed not in vanity, but in deep reverence for the mysteries entrusted to us, and in gratitude for the invisible yet real hand of God who governs all things in His time.

May the Most Holy Trinity, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints, guide us to serve faithfully in this new and sacred responsibility.

Given at Miragoâne-Xaragua,

on this twenty-eighth day of April, in the Year of Our Lord 2025.

Rector of the University of Xaragua

Accreditation and Legal Legitimacy

The University of Xaragua is an autonomous educational institution, created by and for the Afro-Taíno people on their ancestral territory within the Xaragua region.

This university is not dependent on any external government or colonial framework. It exists as a sovereign expression of Indigenous rights, rooted in international law and recognized by the global community.

---

1. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007)

Article 14 of the Declaration states:

"Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning."

The Afro-Taíno people, as an Indigenous community with distinct identity, history, and territory, are fully entitled to build and operate their own institutions of higher learning. This right is recognized globally and does not require validation from any external authority.

---

2. ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (1989)

Though not universally ratified, this Convention reflects customary international law and reinforces the right of Indigenous peoples to control their educational development:

"Indigenous peoples shall have the right to decide the content of education and to establish their own institutions according to their cultural values and needs."

---

3. The Right to Self-Determination and Educational Sovereignty

Under international legal principles, including the Charter of the United Nations, all peoples have the right to self-determination. For the Afro-Taíno people, this includes:

Establishing educational institutions

Preserving and promoting cultural knowledge

Certifying their own programs and credentials

Educating future generations on their own terms

---

Conclusion: De Facto Accreditation

The University of Xaragua is accredited by its people, grounded in its ancestral territory, and recognized under international Indigenous law.

Its legitimacy is de facto and untouchable.

No external institution has the authority to approve or deny what history, territory, and international law have already affirmed.
