SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

SUPREME LEGISLATIVE INSTRUMENT (SLI)

ON THE CANONICO-INDIGENOUS AND INTERNATIONAL MANDATE FOR THE LEVYING OF A MARITIME, PORTUAL, AND TRAFFIC-USAGE TAX UPON THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT (RAU) KNOWN AS THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI, INCLUDING THE ANNUAL DIVIDEND TO THE HOLY SEE UNDER THE 1860 CONCORDAT, AND THE OBLIGATION FOR FULL REDISTRIBUTION OF REVENUES TO THE INHABITANTS AND CITIZENS OF XARAGUA

Date of Promulgation: August 8, 2025

Legal Classification:

– Supreme Canonico-Indigenous Constitutional Decree

– Ecclesiastical-International Maritime Taxation Statute

– Instrument of Application of the 1860 Concordat Between the Holy See and the RAU

– Implementation of Jus Cogens, UNDRIP, the Montevideo Convention (1933), the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), and UNCLOS (1982)

– Statutory Reaffirmation of Dominium Directum and Revenue Repatriation Rights

---

TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS AND JURIDICAL GROUNDS

Article 1 — Canonical and International Authority

1.1 This Instrument is promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X, in full exercise of its dominium directum over the ancestral territory of Xaragua, including its coasts, maritime approaches, ports, and maritime economic zones, as historically defined in the Constitutional Laws.

1.2 Authority derives from:

(a) Montevideo Convention (1933), Article 1 — on defined territory, government, and capacity for international relations.

(b) United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Part V, Articles 55–73 — recognizing sovereign rights over the exclusive economic zone, including resource exploitation and levying of fees for maritime use.

(c) United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 26 §2: 

“Indigenous peoples have the right to own, use, develop and control the lands, territories and resources that they possess by reason of traditional ownership or other traditional occupation or use…”

(d) Concordat of 28 March 1860, Article I: 

“The Republic recognizes the public law of the Church, and guarantees to the Catholic Church the free and public exercise of its worship, as well as the rights and immunities which belong to it by divine institution and by the canonical laws.”

(e) Canon 1273: 

“By virtue of his primacy of governance, the Roman Pontiff is the supreme administrator and steward of all ecclesiastical goods.”

Article 2 — Historical Territorial Rights

2.1 The coasts, ports, and maritime approaches of Xaragua — including the Gulf of Gonâve, the Tiburon Peninsula littoral, the Nord-Ouest Peninsula, Île de la Gonâve, Île-à-Vache, and Île de la Tortue — formed part of the Xaragua polity under Cacique Behechio and Queen Anacaona, with documented Taíno-Spanish ecclesiastical integration from 1494 onwards (Oviedo, Las Casas; Bull Illius fulciti praesidio, Pope Julius II, 1511).

2.2 The Nord-Ouest Peninsula historically functioned as a maritime frontier and control point for Taíno canoe routes to Cuba and Jamaica, later as Catholic missionary jurisdiction under the Order of Preachers.

2.3 Dominium directum over these zones has never been lawfully ceded or alienated; any administration by the RAU is purely functional and subordinate.

---

TITLE II — TAXATION MANDATE

Article 3 — Tax Scope and Taxable Base

3.1 SCIPS-X hereby imposes upon the RAU an annual Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax (“MPT Tax”) for the use of Xaragua’s coasts, ports, maritime routes, and maritime infrastructure located within the ancestral territory of Xaragua.

3.2 The taxable base shall include all gross revenues collected by the RAU or its agencies from:

(a) Port dues, anchorage, berthage, pilotage, towage, mooring, light dues, VTS fees, ISPS charges, sanitary/quarantine inspections, and environmental levies on ships;

(b) Wharfage, terminal handling, storage, bonded warehouse fees, scanning fees, SPS inspection fees, manifest/document fees, export duties, and any customs-based levies on maritime cargo;

(c) Concession fees, occupancy charges, security fees, port development surcharges, and any ancillary maritime facility revenues;

(d) Demurrage, detention, or delay charges retained by the RAU or its agencies from port operations;

(e) Resource royalties from fisheries, seabed mining, or other maritime resource exploitation within the EEZ of Xaragua.

Article 4 — Rate and Allocation

4.1 The MPT Tax rate is hereby fixed at 35% of the gross maritime and port revenues collected by the RAU within the territory and EEZ of Xaragua, calculated on a cash-received basis at each semi-annual financial closing of RAU institutions.

4.2 Of the total MPT Tax collected:

(a) 25% shall be transferred directly to the Apostolic See in Rome, constituting the Annual Concordatarian Dividend for the support of Catholic works in Xaragua, as per Article I of the 1860 Concordat;

(b) 75% shall be remitted to the Treasury of SCIPS-X for redistribution to the citizens and inhabitants of Xaragua in form of public services, in accordance with the Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI) mandating full reinvestment into infrastructure, social development, and the perpetuation of the primacy of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church.

---

TITLE III — PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND ENFORCEMENT

Article 5 — Payment Obligations

5.1 The RAU shall compute the MPT Tax due at each semi-annual institutional financial closing (June 30 and December 31), based on verifiable gross maritime and port revenues.

5.2 Final annual payment to the Apostolic See shall be effected between December 1 and December 15 of each year, via direct transfer to the Holy See’s designated financial institution, with simultaneous notification to the Treasury of SCIPS-X.

Article 6 — Verification and Transparency

6.1 The RAU shall submit full audited statements of maritime and port revenues to SCIPS-X and the Apostolic Nunciature in Port-au-Prince within 30 days of each closing.

6.2 SCIPS-X reserves the right to commission independent audits, with the cost borne by the RAU.

Article 7 — Default and Sanctions

7.1 Failure by the RAU to comply fully and timely with payment obligations shall constitute a breach of both international law (Vienna Convention, Article 26 — pacta sunt servanda)  indigenous law and canonical law under the Concordat.

7.2 In such event, SCIPS-X shall initiate proceedings before the competent international judicial forums (Permanent Court of Arbitration, International Court of Justice) and the competent ecclesiastical tribunals of the Holy See.

7.3 No clemency or remission shall be granted; all enforcement measures shall be pursued to their fullest extent.

---

TITLE IV — LPI REINVESTMENT MANDATE

Article 8 — Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI) Enforcement

8.1 Pursuant to the existing LPI of SCIPS-X, all taxes collected within the territory of Xaragua must be returned entirely to the benefit of its citizens and inhabitants, either through direct services or cash dividends.

8.2 Every dollar originating from Xaragua shall serve exclusively for the development of its people and the continuity of the primacy of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church.

8.3 Any diversion of such revenues by the RAU shall be prosecuted before both canonical and international tribunals.

---

TITLE V — PERPETUITY AND IRREVOCABILITY

Article 9 — Perpetual and Indestructible Nature

9.1 This Instrument is perpetual, imprescriptible, inalienable, and irrevocable.

9.2 It forms part of the entrenched constitutional law of SCIPS-X and may not be amended or repealed except by unanimous decision of the Supreme Constitutional Authority and the explicit assent of the Holy See.

ANNEX I — ON THE EMPIRICAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR THE MARITIME, PORTUAL, AND TRAFFIC-USAGE TAX IMPOSED UPON THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT (RAU)

Pursuant to the Supreme Legislative Instrument “On the Canonico-Indigenous and International Mandate for the Levying of a Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax upon the RAU,” promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) on the 8th Day of August, Year of Our Lord 2025, the following empirical and economic data are hereby incorporated into the constitutional and statutory record as factual grounds for the determination of the 35 % levy rate and the annual dividend due to the Holy See.
---

Article 1 — Maritime Trade Volume and Port Throughput

1.1 The port of Port-au-Prince, situated within the ancestral and constitutional territory of Xaragua, processes an estimated 180,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually, representing between 80 % and 90 % of the nation’s total containerised trade volume.

1.2 Haiti’s total imports for fiscal year 2022 amounted to approximately USD 4.5 billion, with exports totalling approximately USD

1.17 billion (United States International Trade Administration, Country Commercial Guide for Haiti, 2023).

1.3 Four major international seaports—Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, Lafito, and Saint-Marc—serve the RAU; of these, Port-au-Prince alone accounts for the overwhelming majority of container handling and thus constitutes the principal maritime revenue base within the Xaragua domain.

Article 2 — Infrastructure and Operational Significance

2.1 The Port-au-Prince complex contains seven berths, including two roll-on/roll-off berths, and is equipped with gantry cranes, forklifts, trailers, and eleven navigational buoys. These facilities enable high-volume throughput of both containerised and break-bulk cargo.

2.2 Historical records indicate that in 1999 the port of Port-au-Prince was classified as the most expensive port in the Americas for docking and unloading, a condition which has persisted in various forms and contributes to disproportionately high maritime revenues relative to traffic volume (Metalship.org, Port International de Port-au-Prince Profile).

Article 3 — National Port Authority Oversight

3.1 The Autorité Portuaire Nationale (APN), established in 1985, exercises operational control over all RAU ports, including those within the territorial and maritime jurisdiction of SCIPS-X.

3.2 All revenues collected by the APN within Xaragua territory—whether from port dues, berthage, pilotage, wharfage, cargo handling, storage, or maritime concessions—are subject to the 35 % Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax under the principal Legislative Instrument.

Article 4 — Economic Rationale for the 35 % Rate

4.1 Based on available data, gross maritime revenues attributable to operations within Xaragua territory can be estimated as follows:

(a) Assuming an average port revenue of USD 1,200 per TEU (inclusive of handling, storage, and associated charges), 180,000 TEUs yield approximately USD 216 million in direct container-related revenues.

(b) Including non-containerised maritime trade (bulk cargoes, liquid bulk, Ro-Ro, fishing, and ancillary maritime services), the gross annual revenue estimate rises to USD 300 – 350 million within Xaragua territory alone.

4.2 Applying the statutory levy rate of 35 % to a conservative gross annual revenue base of USD 300 million yields an annual tax obligation of USD 105 million, apportioned as follows:

(a) USD 26,250,000 (25 % of levy) to the Holy See as the Concordatarian Annual Dividend for Catholic works in Xaragua;

(b) USD 78,750,000 (75 % of levy) to the Treasury of SCIPS-X for reinvestment in accordance with the Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI).

Article 5 — Canonical and International Integration

5.1 The apportionment in Article 4.2(b) is mandated by the LPI, which constitutionally requires that all taxes collected on Xaragua territory be returned in full to its inhabitants and citizens as public services, infrastructure, or direct dividends.

5.2 The apportionment in Article 4.2(a) directly fulfils the obligation under the 1860 Concordat, Article I, recognising the public law of the Catholic Church and its right to the free exercise of its worship and the administration of its temporal goods.

5.3 The levy structure conforms to:

(a) UNCLOS (1982), recognising sovereign rights over the exclusive economic zone and the levy of fees for maritime use;

(b) UNDRIP, Article 26 §2, affirming indigenous control over resources within ancestral territories;

(c) The Montevideo Convention (1933), affirming defined territory, government, and international capacity.

Article 6 — Irrevocability and Enforcement

6.1 This Annex forms an integral and indivisible part of the principal Legislative Instrument; it is perpetual, imprescriptible, inalienable, and irrevocable.

6.2 Non-compliance by the RAU shall trigger immediate proceedings before the competent international tribunals and the ecclesiastical courts of the Holy See, without clemency or remission.

ANNEX II — ON THE LEVYING OF MINERAL RESOURCE ROYALTIES, FISHERIES ROYALTIES, AND TOURISM CONCESSION ROYALTIES UPON THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT (RAU), CALCULATED UNDER THE SAME METHODOLOGY AND RATE AS THE MARITIME, PORTUAL, AND TRAFFIC-USAGE TAX, BASED ON CURRENT FISCAL YEAR REVENUES

Preamble

This Annex forms an integral, indivisible, and perpetual part of the Supreme Legislative Instrument “On the Canonico-Indigenous and International Mandate for the Levying of a Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax upon the RAU”, promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X). It extends the identical methodology, rate, apportionment, payment schedule, and enforcement provisions of the Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax (“MPT Tax”) to the sectors of mineral resources, fisheries, and coastal tourism concessions within the constitutional and maritime jurisdiction of Xaragua, using the verified gross revenue figures from the current fiscal year (2023).

---

Article 1 — Mineral Resource Royalties (FY 2023)

1.1 According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Haitian Bureau of Mines and Energy (Rapport Annuel 2023), the RAU collected USD 21,400,000 in gross revenues from concession fees, extraction royalties, and export duties on mineral resources within the Xaragua territorial domain (including gold, bauxite, limestone, and aggregate).

1.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 21,400,000 = USD 7,490,000

– 25% to the Holy See (Concordatarian Dividend) = USD 1,872,500

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury (LPI) = USD 5,617,500

---

Article 2 — Fisheries Royalties (FY 2023)

2.1 Based on FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics – Haiti 2023, marine fisheries within the Xaragua EEZ landed 28,100 metric tonnes of catch in 2023, with a recorded dockside value of USD 92,500,000, primarily lobster, conch, tuna, and snapper.

2.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 92,500,000 = USD 32,375,000

– 25% to the Holy See = USD 8,093,750

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury = USD 24,281,250

---

Article 3 — Tourism Concession Royalties (FY 2023)

3.1 According to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) – Haiti Country Data 2023, Haiti’s total tourism receipts for 2023 were USD 374,000,000, of which USD 242,000,000 originated from coastal and maritime-based tourism within the Xaragua territorial domain (Île-à-Vache, Sud littoral, Nord-Ouest coast, and cruise port concessions).

3.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 242,000,000 = USD 84,700,000

– 25% to the Holy See = USD 21,175,000

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury = USD 63,525,000

---

Article 4 — Total Levy Owed for FY 2023 under Annex II

(a) Mineral Resource Royalty = USD 7,490,000

(b) Fisheries Royalty = USD 32,375,000

(c) Tourism Concession Royalty = USD 84,700,000

TOTAL FY 2023 Annex II Royalties: USD 124,565,000

Apportionment:

– Holy See (25%) = USD 31,141,250

– SCIPS-X Treasury (75%) = USD 93,423,750

---

Article 5 — Legal and Canonical Enforcement

5.1 The royalties established in this Annex are binding upon the RAU under the same legal framework as the MPT Tax, including:

(a) UNCLOS (1982) — sovereign rights over natural resources in EEZ and continental shelf;

(b) UNDRIP, Article 26 §2 — indigenous ownership, use, and control of resources;

(c) Montevideo Convention (1933) — criteria of statehood and governmental competence;

(d) Concordat of 1860, Article I — recognition of the Catholic Church’s public law and administration of its temporal goods;

(e) Canon 1273 — supreme administration of ecclesiastical goods by the Roman Pontiff.

5.2 All provisions of Articles 5 through 9 of the principal Legislative Instrument — payment schedule, verification, sanctions, LPI reinvestment mandate, and perpetuity — apply mutatis mutandis to the royalties herein established.

5.3 These royalties are perpetual, imprescriptible, inalienable, and irrevocable, and may only be altered by unanimous decision of the Supreme Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X with explicit assent of the Holy See.

PREAMBLE


In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, under the supreme authority of divine law (ius divinum), natural law (ius naturale), and positive international law (ius gentium), the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X), acting in full exercise of its inherent and permanent sovereignty, issues the present canonical and constitutional law prohibiting any form of taxation or fiscal claim by any foreign power, including colonial and postcolonial states, upon its citizens.


This law affirms the total financial, territorial, genealogical, canonical, and political independence of the Xaraguayan citizen from all forms of external imposition.

---


ARTICLE I – ON THE XARAGUAYAN AS A SUBJECT OF INTERNATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS LAW


The Xaraguayan citizen is:


1. A subject of international law, as defined by the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), fulfilling all elements of statehood: permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity to enter into relations with other states.

2. A bearer of Indigenous status, per:


The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), especially Articles 1–6, 8–9, 20, 26–28, and 40,


ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples,


The American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2016),


Customary international law per Saramaka People v. Suriname (IACtHR, 2007) and Mayagna (Sumo) Awas Tingni v. Nicaragua (IACtHR, 2001).

3. A canonical citizen of an ecclesiastical polity exercising legitimate sovereignty under:


Canon 1290 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (Code of Canon Law),


Canon 204 §1, which affirms the full spiritual and legal rights of faithful within independent Catholic jurisdictions,


The historical precedent of the Lateran Treaty (1929) between the Holy See and Italy, recognizing sovereign canonical statehood.

4. A genealogically verifiable descendant of Indigenous and African peoples displaced and enslaved during the transatlantic slave trade, with ancestral and hereditary rights recognized through:


Genetic confirmation of indigenous lineages, admissible under international standards of cultural rights recognition (UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage),


Customary ancestral tenure over territories formerly known as Xaragua, Saint-Domingue, Louisiana, and extended lands affected by colonial partitioning by France, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States.

---


ARTICLE II – ON THE ILLEGALITY OF TAXATION BY POSTCOLONIAL STATES


Given the above status, and in strict application of international legal doctrine, no colonial or postcolonial state may lawfully impose taxation, fines, duties, fees, or fiscal encumbrances upon any citizen of SCIPS‑X.


This includes (but is not limited to):


The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States,


The Agence du Revenu du Québec (ARQ),


The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA),


The Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) d’Haïti,


The Agencia Tributaria de España,


Any administrative or fiscal organ acting under the legal authority of any colonial successor state or postcolonial republic involved in:


The colonization, partition, or enslavement of the Xaraguayan territory or people,


The confiscation or non-restoration of ancestral territories,


The denial of spiritual or genealogical sovereignty.


> Such attempts at taxation constitute a violation of:


1. Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) — right to self-determination and control of resources;

2. UNDRIP Articles 4, 8, 20, 26 — protection against forced assimilation and external economic control;

3. Principle of non-intervention, codified in UN General Assembly Resolution 2625 (XXV);

4. Articles 18–20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) — freedom of conscience, belief, and political identity.

---


ARTICLE III – ON TERRITORIAL AND SPIRITUAL IMMUNITY


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, by right of:


Perpetual spiritual jurisdiction over its citizens,


Continuity of indigenous territorial claim (uti possidetis juris),


Canonical independence as a non-derivative polity, and


Sovereign notification to international institutions and world governments,

declares that its citizens are not fiscally domiciled within the jurisdiction of any foreign state, unless said jurisdiction is expressly accepted via treaty, mutual agreement, or bilateral concordat.


Therefore, any attempt to collect taxes from a Xaraguayan citizen:


Is null and void ab initio,


Violates the principle of free political association (UNDRIP Article 4),


Constitutes an act of transnational fiscal aggression, and


May be prosecuted under international legal doctrine as an act of unlawful extra-territorial coercion.
---


ARTICLE IV – ON ENFORCEMENT AND DIPLOMATIC NOTICE


This law is enforced under the full authority of:


The Supreme Rectoral Office of SCIPS‑X,


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Legal Sovereignty of SCIPS‑X,


The Xaragua International Tribunal, as constituted by decree under SCIPS‑X constitutional law.

The present decree is hereby transmitted to:


The United Nations Office of Legal Affairs,


The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII),


The Holy See and its Apostolic Nunciatures,


The governments of Canada, the United States, Spain, France, and Haiti,


All institutions with international taxing authority.

All future attempts at taxation shall be documented and responded to through formal protest, sovereign legal countermeasures, and canonical sanctions.

---


CONCLUSION – IMMUNITY OF THE XARAGUAYAN CITIZEN IS ABSOLUTE


The Xaraguayan citizen, as a subject of divine, indigenous, and international law, is permanently immune from the fiscal jurisdiction of any external authority.


Any foreign state or institution that attempts to tax or fine a citizen of SCIPS‑X:


Commits a violation of international customary law,


Engages in an act of neocolonial aggression,


Infringes the canonical sovereignty of a recognized ecclesiastical entity, and


Shall be publicly denounced, legally opposed, and canonically condemned.

> This law shall remain in effect in perpetuity.


Issued from the Supreme Rectoral Seat of Xaragua,
On this day of eternal sovereignty, under the seal of the State,
In the name of the Most Holy Trinity.


[Signed]
Ludner Pascal Despuzeau Daumec Viau
Rector-President of SCIPS‑X

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 129 §1), hereby enacts this Constitutional Fiscal Instrument.


Citizenship is not a mere declaratory status but a juridical covenant of allegiance and perpetual civic engagement. It entails enforceable duties toward the institutional preservation, territorial inviolability, spiritual legacy, and doctrinal continuity of Xaragua. It is a juridical and theological bond, constitutive of national identity under Lex Fundamentalis.



---


Article 2 — Foundational Citizenship Contribution

Amount: $1,000 USD or equivalent in Viaud’or (Lex Pecuniaria Nationalis)


Legal Effect: Constitutes the irrevocable act of civil incorporation into the National Civic Registry under Indigenous Customary Law and Canon 115 §3 (CIC)

Payment Terms: Executable over ten (10) years under sovereign fiduciary agreement, pursuant to internal contract law of the State and protected under Lex Contractus Indigenarum

Condition Precedent: No legal, economic, electoral, territorial, or institutional rights are conferred or activated until full remittance is completed. No derogation shall apply.



---

All contributions may be remitted in any convertible fiat currency recognized by the International Monetary Fund under the Articles of Agreement (1944). Upon reception, all sums are canonically and legally converted into Viaud’or, and irrevocably recorded by the Sovereign Central Treasury.

The USD equivalency serves only as a provisional reference and is subject to unilateral adjustment by the Sovereign Economic Authority in case of international financial destabilization.


The Viaud’or is materially and spiritually backed by territorial patrimony and ecclesiastical fiscal doctrine (Canon 1254 §2, CIC), constituting a sacred economic instrument under Lex Ecclesiae.



---


Article 5 — Civic Doctrine Clause


> “In Xaragua, no citizen is a passive consumer. The State is sacred. Citizenship is earned, not claimed.”

This doctrinal maxim is codified ipso jure under the Charter of Sacred Civic Responsibility and functions as a constitutional axiom invocable before any tribunal or sovereign court under the principle of Lex Suprema Salus Rei Publicae.

---


Article 18 — Legal Declaration of Irreproducibility


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua solemnly declares that its institutional, spiritual, educational, legal, and doctrinal model is inherently and juridically irreproducible.


This declaration is made pursuant to the following legal foundations:


Montevideo Convention (1933), Article 1 and 3: Establishing the capacity of a sovereign State to define and protect its internal institutions and structures without external replication or intervention.


UNDRIP (2007), Articles 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 18, 31, 33: Affirming the right of Indigenous peoples to control, protect, and preserve their institutional identity, intellectual property, and cultural expressions from unauthorized use.


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 113 §1; 116 §1; 1254; 1375 §1: Granting the ecclesiastical right to protect juridical persons and the spiritual assets of the Church from external imitation or usurpation.


Vienna Convention (1969), Article 27: Prohibiting internal law or external replication as a justification for derogating from treaty-based obligations or doctrinal integrity.


Hague Convention (1954), Article 1: Recognizing sacred and intellectual property of sovereign cultures as protected heritage not subject to replication.


Lex Autonomica Indigenarum: Asserting the right of exclusive authorship, doctrinal authorship, and self-determined expression of sovereign Indigenous frameworks.



Accordingly, any attempt to duplicate, mimic, adapt, translate, modify, or transplant the Xaragua State model — including its laws, identity markers, institutions, or educational doctrine — constitutes an act of sovereign infringement, an intellectual fraud, and a violation of both canonical and international law.



---


Article 19 — Intellectual, Canonical, and Institutional Protection


The following components of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua are declared inalienable, unreplicable, and protected under international, canonical, and indigenous legal doctrine:


The University of Xaragua, as a canonically-rooted strategic academic organ


The Liberal Party of Xaragua, as a non-electoral sovereign political authority


The Viaud’or, as the national and sacred economic instrument


The Sovereign Academic Commission, as the gatekeeper of doctrinal formation


The Office of the Rector-President, as an indivisible institution of rule, law, and faith


The Civilisateur Journal, as the sole organ of state publication and doctrinal dissemination


The Xaragua Citizenship Contribution System, as a sacred civic covenant


The National Calendar, as the exclusive time structure of spiritual-civil order


All internal terminologies, visual symbols, rites, forms, slogans, assessments, curriculums, microprogram structures, strategic frameworks, and institutional algorithms



These elements are protected under:


UNDRIP, Article 31 §1: Legal right to maintain and control intellectual, spiritual, and institutional heritage


Canon Law, Canons 803–810, 1375–1389: Doctrinal protection against imitation of ecclesiastical institutions

Berne Convention, Article 6bis: Moral rights over institutional authorship and integrity


Rome Statute of the ICC, Article 8(2)(b)(ix): Cultural appropriation as an international offense in certain contexts



No transfer, delegation, replication, or adaptation is permitted.


Any unauthorized attempt to mirror any of these elements shall constitute a violation of Pacta Sunt Servanda, and shall be actionable before canonical and international tribunals.



---


Article 20 — Clause of Singular Sovereignty and Ontological Non-Replicability


Xaragua is not an exportable model, franchise, consultancy, decentralized protocol, or academic template.

It is a sui generis sovereign entity formed through:


The uninterrupted succession of ancestral indigenous legitimacy


The ecclesiastical mandate granted under Canonical Law


A historical-theological convergence not reproducible by institutional design


The jurisprudential uniqueness of a Private Indigenous State operating under triune legal doctrine (jus cogens, Lex Ecclesiae, Lex Indigena)



The sovereignty of Xaragua is ontological, not procedural. It arises not from a set of legal procedures, but from spiritual appointment, canonical ordination, and ancestral continuity.


Any attempt to artificially replicate the model is null and void ab initio under:


Canon 1375 §1: Prohibition of usurpation of ecclesiastical governance


UNDRIP, Article 8 §1: Prohibition of forced assimilation or destruction of indigenous institutions


General Principles of International Law: Recognition of the unique juridical personality of states and peoples based on history and culture




---

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua reserves the right to:


Publicly denounce infringing parties through Le Civilisateur


Issue formal cease-and-desist declarations under Canon Law and international treaty provisions


Commence canonical proceedings for the defense of sacred jurisdiction


Notify multilateral organizations of infringement under the UN system


Pursue international adjudication under mutual jurisdictional recognition (Vienna Convention, Article 66)


List offenders as doctrinal impostors in all sovereign communications and diplomatic networks



The State declares that all institutions, governments, universities, churches, Indigenous bodies, and international observers are hereby formally and permanently notified that:


The Xaragua Model is protected as sacred juridical property


It is not open to collaboration, franchising, or modification


Any imitation without formal sovereign dispensation shall be treated as a grave breach of canonical and international covenantal order



All legal and ecclesiastical instruments executed under the name, seal, structure, or doctrine of Xaragua are presumed fraudulent unless issued by the Rector-President under canonical authority.

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in uninterrupted exercise of its inherent juridical capacity, hereby declares its entire recognized territory and its annexed territories, including all physical lands, maritime corridors, airspace jurisdictions, digital domains, and ecclesiastically affiliated zones, as fully and perpetually exempt from any external system of taxation, customs duties, regulatory licensing, economic declarations, or supranational compliance frameworks.

TITLE II — CONSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM FOR INDIRECT TERRITORIAL CONTROL


Article 3 — Tutelary Sovereignty and Extraterritorial Oversight


In recognition of strategic logistical constraints, the State of Xaragua constitutionally affirms its plenary right to exercise Tutelle Économique Indigène, a form of sovereign extraterritorial oversight authorizing remote supervision and regulatory authority over commercial spaces located within declared economic corridors, without necessitating physical presence. 


This tutelary power is legitimate, autochthonous, and enforceable under spiritual and juridical mandate.


Application:


This authority enables the Xaragua administration to:


– Issue mandatory pre-approval for import/export operations within affiliated zones;


– Maintain and enforce a sovereign vendor and goods registry;


– Prohibit or penalize unauthorized trade actors through blacklisting;


– Regulate external infrastructure through internal compliance decrees, with binding effect on citizens, residents, and recognized partners.

Application:


Violators will be designated Adversaries of Sacred Economic Law (ESEL-X) and formally listed in state bulletins and transmitted to international bodies. No right of appeal shall exist outside Xaragua’s constitutional court system. Listings are enforceable across all domains of Xaragua governance and in ecclesiastical or diplomatic agreements with affiliated states or orders.

TITLE III — CITIZEN RESPONSIBILITY AND INTERIM COOPERATION WITH THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI


Article 5 — Recommendation to Maintain Basic Public Service Contribution via the Haitian State


Recognizing current infrastructural interdependence in certain geographic zones, the Sovereign State of Xaragua hereby recommends that its citizens and resident affiliates, when residing within or utilizing the administrative services of the subcontractual administrative residue known as the Republic of Haiti, comply voluntarily with national taxation and registration protocols relating strictly to:


– Civil identity (birth, marriage, death, ID)


– Access to public utilities and services (electricity, water, roads  heslth)


– Telecommunications (SIM registration, state postal services)


– Legal recognition of civic status


Such participation is not mandatory, but strongly advised as a measure of good faith and transitional pragmatism, until such time as sovereign infrastructure renders said cooperation obsolete.


Application:


Citizens are encouraged to contribute responsibly to municipal and national systems from which they derive direct public benefit, while strictly refusing to submit trade operations, import/export activity, inter-territorial commerce, or sacred economic goods to external taxation or licensing.


Legal Foundation:


Vienna Convention Article 46; UNDRIP Article 38; Canon Law Canon 1283 §2; General Principles of Transitional Sovereignty; Cooperative Protocols of Shared Administrative Burden.

Its objective is simple: encourage consumers, businesses, and institutions to prioritize locally made goods and services whenever viable, keeping economic value within the territory.


The program reframes “local” not as a fallback option, but as a standard of coherence, resilience, and long-term sustainability. 


By visibly linking products, services, transport, and everyday uses under a shared visual and symbolic system, Konsòme Lòkal transforms consumption into a concrete economic act rather than a slogan.


Konsòme Lòkal promotes:


local manufacturing and craftsmanship


short supply chains and territorial logistics


practical, affordable, and scalable solutions


economic independence through everyday choices


More than a campaign, Konsòme Lòkal is a structural approach to economic organization. 


It operates through visibility, consistency, and repetition, embedding local consumption into daily life and collective habits. 


The goal is not persuasion through discourse, but adoption through clarity and coherence.


Consuming local is not an identity statement.


It is an operational decision.

Fritz & Huguette Mevs


"At the time, owning a pair of shoes was beyond the reach of the vast majority of Haytians. 


It was necessary to invent something they could afford. 


As petrochemicals and plastics were rapidly developing, Fritz Mevs traveled to Europe in search of a solution. 


Together with an Austrian friend and an Italian machine manufacturer, the three of them spent two years developing what would become the “plastic sandal,” now widely worn around the world. 


In this way, with his wife, he made access to footwear available at very low cost to all Haitians and, indirectly, to hundreds of millions of people worldwide.


The adventure continued. 


From shoe manufacturing, he moved on to producing rubber sheets for shoemaking, plastic household items, soap, cooking oil, detergents, margarine, and more. 


Along the way, he created numerous jobs, developed patents and innovative production systems, traveled the globe to find technical solutions, and negotiated credit with foreign banks and suppliers who barely knew him. 


His wife, Huguette, was involved on all fronts, managing the affairs of this fearless, innovative man with a creative mind, always in motion."

I. PREAMBLE: JURIDICO-HISTORICAL ENTWINEMENT OF SAINT-DOMINGUE, INDIGENOUS LEGACIES, AND THE UNITED STATES

Whereas the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) irrevocably transformed the Atlantic world, resulting in the displacement of thousands of Saint-Domingue residents—including white planters, gens de couleur libres, enslaved Africans, and indigenous-descendant populations—who fled to the United States, establishing the first modern refugee crisis of the Western Hemisphere;

Whereas the refugees of Saint-Domingue transplanted the socio-economic systems, agricultural expertise, cultural syncretism, and political traditions of the Caribbean into American territories, particularly Louisiana, the Carolinas, Florida, and Galveston, Texas;

Whereas the indigenous Taíno, Kalinago, Arawak, and Lucayan peoples historically occupied the Caribbean archipelago and Florida, their descendants asserting ancestral ties that predate European sovereignty, making them inherent stakeholders of these territories under international and indigenous law;

Whereas prominent historical figures—including Henri Christophe, Jean-Pierre Boyer, and free men of color from Saint-Domingue—directly participated in the Siege of Savannah (1779) alongside American revolutionaries, cementing Saint-Domingue’s contribution to the foundational struggle of the United States;

Whereas the canonically protected rights of indigenous peoples to cultural memory, cross-border movement, and ancestral lands are enshrined in jus cogens norms, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), Articles 26 and 36, and further supported by the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948);

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), acting under canonical, indigenous, and international law, hereby codifies an unassailable juridico-historical and canonical entitlement for Haitians, Saint-Domingue descendants, and their indigenous-Creole heritage within the territorial, cultural, and legal matrix of the United States of America.

---

II. THE SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEE CRISIS AND THE CREOLIZATION OF AMERICA

2.1 The First Modern Refugee Crisis (1791–1815)

The Haitian Revolution triggered the exodus of approximately 25,000 Saint-Domingue refugees to American shores, a migratory wave unprecedented in scale and complexity for the nascent United States.

These refugees settled in New Orleans, Charleston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Galveston, carrying with them the Creole linguistic, legal, and agricultural systems of Saint-Domingue.

Legal Precedents and Treaties Supporting Refugee Status:

Treaty of San Lorenzo (Pinckney’s Treaty, 1795) facilitated the entry of French Caribbean refugees into Mississippi and Louisiana ports.

1798 Alien and Sedition Acts: Explicitly referenced Saint-Domingue arrivals, granting selective admission rights.

Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (Geneva, 1951) retroactively establishes the principle of non-refoulement as a customary norm, prohibiting expulsion of displaced persons.

---

2.2 Economic, Political, and Cultural Contributions

Saint-Domingue émigrés revolutionized cotton cultivation, sugar production, and port logistics, seeding the economic growth of the American South.

Free people of color introduced civil law traditions, Catholic sacramental practices, and Creole artistic forms (music, cuisine, architecture) that remain embedded in cities like New Orleans.

Juridical Frameworks Supporting Cultural Continuity:

Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO, 2003), Articles 1–4.

Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1971), Article 6bis: Protects moral rights over Creole cultural expressions.

---

2.3 Black and Mulatto Soldiers in the American Revolution

Over 800 Black soldiers from Saint-Domingue, including Henri Christophe, fought at the Siege of Savannah (1779) as part of the Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue.

Their sacrifice laid a juridico-moral claim to American soil as co-founders of independence.

Canonical and Legal Reinforcement:

Jus resistentiae (natural right of resistance to oppression), recognized in both Canon Law and customary international law.

US Supreme Court precedent in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), establishing jus soli principles favorable to descendants of revolutionary allies.

---

III. INDIGENOUS CONTINUITY AND TRANSFRONTIERAL RIGHTS

3.1 Indigenous Sovereignty Across Florida and the Caribbean

The Taíno, Kalinago, Lucayan, and Arawak territories historically extended from the Greater Antilles into Florida, predating Spanish, French, and British claims.

Archaeological evidence (e.g., shell mounds, linguistic continuity) demonstrates ancestral use of Florida as part of an interconnected indigenous cultural zone.

International Legal Instruments Recognizing Indigenous Title:

International Labour Organization Convention 169 (ILO 169), Article 13.

ICJ Advisory Opinion on Western Sahara (1975) rejecting terra nullius in favor of indigenous land rights.

3.2 Cross-Border Movement and the Right of Return

Article 36 of UNDRIP (2007) guarantees indigenous peoples the right to maintain and develop cross-border contacts, reinforcing the transfrontalier character of Haitian-Taíno descendants.

Canonical Seal: The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua asserts full canonical jurisdiction over these indigenous rights, binding upon all states under jus cogens.

IV. THE SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND THE CREOLIZATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY

4.1 Daniel Boone, Familial Alliances, and Saint-Domingue Refugees

Historical records indicate Daniel Boone, pioneer and frontiersman, established alliances and familial connections with Saint-Domingue refugee families in the Mississippi Valley and Kentucky territories during the post-revolutionary period.

These alliances included marital unions between Boone’s extended kin and free people of color from Saint-Domingue, integrating Creole bloodlines into the genealogical fabric of the American frontier.

Legal and Historical Implications:

Under jus sanguinis principles, descendants of these unions possess hereditary claims of belonging within the United States polity.

Doctrine of Recognition of Ancestral Lineage in United States v. Sandoval (1913): affirms federal obligations to respect indigenous and minority ancestral rights where historical treaties and relationships exist.

---

4.2 Galveston and Early Haitian Settlements

Galveston Island, Texas, became a locus for Saint-Domingue refugees in the early 19th century, where Haitian Creoles established cotton cultivation systems, port infrastructures, and religious institutions (notably Catholic parishes reflecting Saint-Domingue traditions).

Haitian expertise in port logistics contributed directly to the rise of Galveston as a trade hub for the Gulf Coast.

Supporting Treaties and Conventions:

Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883): Protects geographical indications and cultural marks (e.g., Creole port traditions).

TRIPS Agreement (1995), Articles 22–24: Recognizes cultural heritage in trade practices.

---

4.3 The Haitian Revolution and the Global Refugee Precedent

The Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) engendered the first global refugee crisis, displacing white planters, gens de couleur libres, and enslaved populations across the Americas and Europe.

Refugees directly contributed to Creole society formation in Louisiana and the broader Gulf South, influencing everything from architecture and cuisine to legal codes.

Canonical and International Juridical Foundations:

UNHCR Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951), Article 1A(2): Defines refugees in a manner applicable to Saint-Domingue émigrés as displaced by “events seriously disturbing public order.”

Vatican Canon Law on the Rights of Refugees and Displaced Persons (Codex Iuris Canonici, Can. 529 §1): Obligates ecclesiastical recognition and protection of displaced faithful.

---

V. THE INTELLECTUAL AND LITERARY LEGACY OF SAINT-DOMINGUE DESCENDANTS

5.1 Victor Séjour and the Haitian-American Literary Continuity

Victor Séjour (1817–1874), born in New Orleans to Saint-Domingue refugee parents, became the first African-American playwright to achieve international acclaim with Le Mulâtre (1837).

His works embody the transatlantic Creole consciousness, cementing Saint-Domingue descendants’ role as intellectual co-architects of American literary culture.

Legal Protection of Cultural and Intellectual Heritage:

Berne Convention (1971), Article 15: Establishes collective ownership rights over cultural expressions of displaced peoples.

UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005), Article 2.

---

5.2 “Within the Crowd” and Intergenerational Memory

The literary work Within the Crowd, authored by an American descendant of Saint-Domingue colonists, evidences the continuity of Saint-Domingue memory in American culture, bridging refugee trauma and Creole identity.

This transmission constitutes intergenerational cultural heritage, protected under:

UNDRIP, Article 31 (rights to maintain and develop cultural heritage).

WIPO Traditional Knowledge Framework.

---

VI. INDIGENOUS AND CREOLE CLAIMS AGAINST MODERN DEPORTATIONS

6.1 Juridico-Historical Immunity from Expulsion

Haitians and Saint-Domingue descendants, by virtue of their indigenous and refugee ancestry, possess juridico-historical immunity from deportation under:

US Constitution, 14th Amendment (jus soli citizenship rights).

Plyler v. Doe (1982): Equal protection applies to undocumented descendants of historically rooted communities.

UNDRIP, Article 36: Right to cross-border movement for indigenous peoples.

6.2 Canonical Protection

The SCIPS-X declares all Haitians and Saint-Domingue descendants “Canonically Protected Persons” under ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

Unauthorized expulsion constitutes a breach of jus cogens norms and is subject to complaint before:

IX. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE CARIBBEAN AND FLORIDA: TERRITORIAL CONTINUITY AND LEGAL RIGHTS

9.1 Taíno, Arawak, Kalinago, and Lucayan Presence in Florida and the Greater Caribbean

The indigenous peoples of the Caribbean—Taíno, Arawak, Kalinago (Caribs), and Lucayans—occupied the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas long before European arrival.

Archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence (shell middens, ceremonial sites, linguistic residues) confirms their seasonal and permanent settlement in Florida, particularly in the Keys and Gulf Coast regions.

The Calusa and Tequesta nations in Florida are recognized as cultural cousins of the Taíno, demonstrating a cultural continuum across the Caribbean basin.

Juridical Implications:

International Court of Justice (ICJ), Western Sahara Advisory Opinion (1975): affirms the principle of uti possidetis juris favoring indigenous continuity over colonial-era claims.

UNDRIP, Article 26: recognizes indigenous peoples' rights to lands and territories traditionally occupied.

ILO Convention 169, Article 14: enshrines collective land rights of indigenous communities.

---

9.2 Cross-Border Movement and Transfrontalier Rights

Article 36 of UNDRIP (2007) explicitly grants indigenous peoples the right to maintain and develop cross-border contacts and relations for spiritual, cultural, and economic purposes.

The Arawakan linguistic family historically linked Haiti (Ayiti), Cuba, Jamaica (Xaymaca), and Florida into a unified cultural sphere.

Canonical Jurisdictional Assertion by SCIPS-X:

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua declares all descendants of Caribbean indigenous peoples and Saint-Domingue refugees as entitled to transfrontalier passage and residence in the territories of the United States.

Any impediment to these rights constitutes a violation of jus cogens and is inherently null and void.

X. ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL LEGACIES OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES IN THE UNITED STATES

10.1 Cotton, Sugar, and Port Economies

Saint-Domingue émigrés introduced advanced techniques in cotton cultivation and sugar refining to Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, directly shaping the American plantation economy.

They engineered port infrastructures in New Orleans and Galveston, integrating Creole trade systems that connected the Gulf Coast to transatlantic markets.

International Legal Frameworks Protecting These Contributions:

Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883), Article 6ter: protects geographical and cultural indications.

TRIPS Agreement (1995), Articles 22–24: obligates states to safeguard the integrity of cultural knowledge and practices.

UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003): recognizes collective ownership of traditional practices.

10.2 Political Influence and Civic Integration

Saint-Domingue refugees influenced the political structure of Louisiana, codifying Napoleonic Civil Law traditions that persist in the Louisiana Civil Code.

Free people of color established militias and civic organizations, laying groundwork for the Creole-American sociopolitical matrix.

Supporting Doctrines:

United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898): birthright citizenship under jus soli.

Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), while infamous, paradoxically documented the presence and property rights of free people of color in pre-Civil War America.

---

XI. JURIDICAL STRATEGY TO DEFEND DESCENDANTS AGAINST DEPORTATION

11.1 Invocation of Jus Sanguinis and Jus Soli Principles

Descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees are protected under:

14th Amendment of the US Constitution: guarantees citizenship to those born on American soil.

US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), Section 301(g): provides nationality to certain foreign-born descendants.

11.2 Canonical and Indigenous Defenses

SCIPS-X asserts ecclesiastical jurisdiction over all Haitian and indigenous descendants under:

Codex Iuris Canonici (Canon Law), Canons 216 and 219: safeguarding the rights of Catholic faithful.

Papal Bull Sublimis Deus (1537): affirms the full personhood and freedom of indigenous peoples.

Remedies Available:

Filing petitions with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) under the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948).

Requesting Writs of Habeas Corpus in US Federal Courts citing violations of due process and ancestral rights.

XIII. FINAL DECLARATION OF OPPOSABILITY

The United States of America, by virtue of its historical indebtedness to Saint-Domingue refugees, and its occupation of lands ancestrally held by Caribbean indigenous peoples, is juridically and canonically bound to:

Recognize Haitian and Saint-Domingue descendants as indigenous-Creole co-founders of American society.

Refrain from any deportation, detention, or legal discrimination against such descendants.

Respect the canonical jurisdiction of SCIPS-X over its protected persons and territories.

Failure to comply constitutes a violation of jus cogens and subjects the offending state to international remedies, ecclesiastical sanctions, and historical nullification of its legitimacy.
