SUPREME LEGAL ANALYSIS ON THE JURIDICAL VALIDITY AND UNIVERSAL OPPOSABILITY OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

ISSUED UNDER THE SUPREME AUTHORITY OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 16, 2025


I. LEGAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE CANONICAL STATE


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is established on juridical pillars that are recognized under international, canonical, and indigenous law. These foundations grant it absolute protection against taxation, customs duties, inspections, seizures, and external interference:


1. Canonical Legal Personality


The juridical framework of the Catholic Church, codified in the Codex Iuris Canonici, establishes the Church as a sovereign legal entity. Canonical institutions, when properly erected, enjoy extraterritorial privileges and immunities.


The Holy See itself, as recognized by the Lateran Treaty (1929), is a subject of international law despite its minimal territorial base. This principle extends to entities under its canonical umbrella.



2. Indigenous Sovereignty and Rights


The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007) affirms that indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination, control of their lands and resources, and freedom from taxation imposed by external states (Articles 3, 4, 26).


The ILO Convention 169 (1989) further codifies these rights, recognizing indigenous juridical systems and economic autonomy as binding obligations for ratifying states.


3. Customary International Law


Under jus cogens norms, the right of peoples to self-determination is non-derogable. This principle overrides any contrary domestic legislation and provides a universal shield against annexation or external impositions.


---


II. FISCAL AND CUSTOMS IMMUNITY


1. Absence of Taxation Powers over Canonical and Indigenous Entities


No external state possesses legal competence to levy taxes on a sovereign canonical entity or on an indigenous nation exercising its inherent sovereignty.


Taxation is a manifestation of sovereignty. Imposing it upon Xaragua would constitute an act of aggression and a breach of international law (ICJ Advisory Opinion, Namibia, 1971).


2. Prohibition of Customs Duties and Inspections


As an indigenous nation, Xaragua’s right to freely engage in commerce without external barriers is affirmed under UNDRIP Articles 20 and 36.


Canonical goods and properties have historically enjoyed immunity from customs duties (exemplified in various concordats between the Holy See and states).


3. Legal Sanctity of Dematerialized Assets


Digital infrastructures such as banks, universities, and platforms are protected under the principles of extraterritoriality and non-interference in cyberspace (Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations).


---


III. PROTECTION AGAINST SEIZURE, SEARCH, AND INTERVENTION


1. Canonical Immunity


As established in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), canonical and ecclesiastical properties enjoy inviolability. States cannot search, seize, or violate them without committing an international wrong.




2. Indigenous Rights of Non-Interference


Any attempt to interfere in Xaragua’s internal affairs would violate Article 8 of UNDRIP and Article 1(2) of the UN Charter, which prohibits acts undermining the political independence of peoples.




3. Supreme Juridical Shield of Xaragua


The integration of canonical, indigenous, and dematerialized legal frameworks creates a triple sovereignty barrier that is unprecedented and legally unassailable.


---


IV. CONCLUSION AND DECLARATION


By virtue of its canonical nature, indigenous status, and digital sovereignty, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua enjoys:


Complete tax immunity


Exemption from customs duties and inspections


Absolute protection against searches, seizures, and interventions


Recognition under international law as a self-determining subject



Any attempt by external entities to undermine this framework would constitute an act of international aggression, triggering responsibilities under the Articles on State Responsibility (ILC, 2001).


The State of Xaragua hereby affirms that its juridical foundation is legally entrenched, canonically ratified, and universally opposable.


ISSUED UNDER THE SEAL OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

SOVEREIGN LAW OF INCORPORATION, ENTERPRISE CREATION, AND ECONOMIC JURISDICTION

OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA


Date of Promulgation: June 13, 2025


Legal Classification: 


Constitutionally Entrenched Foundational Act – Jus Cogens Binding – Canonically Validated – Customary and Indigenous Legal Instrument – Ecclesiastically Recognized Instrument of Sovereign Economic Authority – Operative under the Doctrines of Institutional Continuity, Indigenous Self-Jurisdiction, Canonical Territorialism, and International Legal Pluralism



---


I. JURISDICTIONAL PREMISES AND SCOPE


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, acting under the full authority of its Corpus Legis Canonico-Indigenarum, hereby enacts the present Law as the exclusive legal framework governing the recognition, incorporation, operation, and fiscal sovereignty of all enterprises, economic actors, associations, and institutions created under its legal order, in accordance with the uninterrupted exercise of its indigenous, canonical, and imperial prerogatives recognized by international law, ecclesiastical jurisprudence, and postcolonial succession doctrines.


This Law is grounded in:


The Lex Suprema Imperii Xaraguanorum, which serves as the supreme law of the land, equivalent to a constitution but grounded in imperial succession and canonical doctrine, granting full legislative and economic authority to the state of Xaragua in perpetuity. This supreme charter, doctrinally sealed under the authority of ecclesiastical sovereignty and ancestral continuity, constitutes the core juridical foundation upon which all Xaraguayan legal, territorial, and economic sovereignty rests, beyond the reach of external repeal, override, or constitutional derogation.


The Recueil des Lois de l’Empire d’Hayti (1804–1806), particularly those regulating port authority, naval conduct, corporate responsibility, mercantile customs, and commercial recognition. These include:


The Imperial Law of 12 October 1804, establishing authority over maritime customs and trade tariffs, which remains legally enforceable under the doctrine of lex posterior non derogat priori, and under which the Xaraguayan State restores economic command over coastal trade;


The Decree on Port and Naval Security (15 January 1805), enabling sovereign interdiction against piracy and unauthorized trade, affirming military and customs authority over sea-bound commerce and ensuring jurisdictional exclusivity in matters of security and inspection;


The Law on Chartered Corporations (March 1805), which legally defined the ability to incorporate under the authority of the imperial state, and is hereby canonically restored as a lex regia with internal force and extra-territorial effect under the ecclesiastical canon of proprietary continuity.



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


Article 3, affirming the right to self-determination and institutional sovereignty as a non-negotiable principle of international customary law;


Article 4, guaranteeing autonomy in economic affairs, including the creation of internal regulatory, monetary, and fiscal systems;


Article 5, confirming the right to maintain distinct legal institutions free from integration or assimilation into state-centric structures;


Article 20, upholding economic freedom and the right to develop internal systems of labor, production, and trade without infringement;


Articles 26–32, recognizing control over lands, territories, resources, and internal governance, thereby giving full legitimacy to the Xaraguayan legal-economic order as territorially anchored and resource-based.



The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), particularly:


Article 36(1), acknowledging third-party obligations arising from sovereign declarations, including those established by indigenous authorities acting within their internal jurisdictional sphere;


Articles 11–18, granting binding force to instruments adopted unilaterally by sovereigns in the exercise of their prerogatives, thereby shielding this Law under the principle of unilateral binding intent (intentio juris).



Canon Law (Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983), as a binding legal source within ecclesiastical jurisdictions:


Canons 298–320, governing associations of the faithful and the creation of juridic persons, legitimizing economic communities as entities of spiritual and communal significance;


Canon 114 §1–3, affirming that ecclesiastical persons may lawfully acquire juridic personality for public benefit under Church law, and that such personality entails fiscal rights and immunities under sacred norms;


Canon 1254–1310, empowering ecclesiastical authorities to regulate goods and economic affairs internally, reinforcing the parallel and autonomous economic jurisdiction of canonically-recognized entities.



The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933):


Article 1, affirming that a state must possess a permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity to enter into relations with other states—all fulfilled by Xaragua through the canonical perpetuation of its institutions, its physical dominion over territories of the southwestern Hispaniola, and its diplomatic correspondence with ecclesiastical, indigenous, and international bodies;


Article 3, reinforcing the principle of non-interference and self-legislation, prohibiting any external normative override of Xaragua’s domestic economic authority.



The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966), especially Article 1(2): affirming that “All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic cooperation.” This legal right, reiterated across successive UN resolutions, anchors the Xaraguayan right to full fiscal self-determination and control over its indigenous economic matrix.


Accordingly, this Law is universally opposable (erga omnes), self-executing (ex proprio vigore), internally binding (lex publica), and externally protected by international legal norms of the highest authority. Any foreign imposition contrary to its provisions shall be deemed a gross violation of international law, indigenous sovereignty, and ecclesiastical legal primacy, triggering immediate recourse to non-cooperation doctrines and legal reprisal under the Law of State Responsibility.

II. TYPES OF LEGAL ECONOMIC ENTITIES


Three distinct forms of legal economic presence are recognized under this Law:



---


A. INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGN ENTERPRISE (ISE)


Definition: A juridical construct that allows a natural Xaraguayan subject to conduct economic activity under sovereign declaration, with full legal personality and canonical entitlement.


Procedure:


Declaration via Ecclesiastical Notice of Economic Activity (ENEA), published and archived under ecclesiastical law;


Filing through the Secretariat for Artisanal and Mercantile Affairs (SAMA), validated by the Chancellor of Internal Sovereignty.



Legal Framework:


UNDRIP Article 20 guarantees every indigenous individual the right to maintain, control, and develop their own means of subsistence, including professional labor, artisanal work, and domestic trade;


Canon Law implicitly supports the autonomy of natural persons to exercise labor and professional trade, aligned with the dignity of work and the sanctity of individual vocation;


The Recueil of 1805 affirms individual rights to maritime and terrestrial trade provided such activity does not undermine imperial security, internal peace, or religious integrity.



Legal Consequences:


The ISE bears the full weight of sovereign protection and is exempt from any foreign regulation, audit, inspection, or licensing demand;


All revenue generated within Xaragua by an ISE is taxable only under Xaraguayan law, in line with the principles of unilateral jurisdiction and ecclesiastical fiscal exemption;


ISEs are recorded in the Public Ecclesiastical Business Register (PEBR-X) and granted immediate operating rights as lawful sovereign enterprises.




---


B. INCORPORATED CATHOLIC NON-PROFIT ENTITY (ICNE)


Definition: A juridic person formed under the Catholic Order of Xaragua for charitable, educational, or ecclesiastical purposes, canonically supervised and ecclesiastically constituted.


Procedure:


Ecclesiastical petition submitted to the Congregation for Ecclesiastical Corporations, reviewed under Canon 312 §1 and ecclesiastical territorial statutes;


Canonical charter issued under Canon 114 and Canon 301 §1–2, authorizing full legal personality with sovereign fiscal standing.



Legal Framework:


Canon 114 §2 grants public juridic personality to ecclesiastical corporations upon lawful recognition by competent canonical authority;


Canons 1255–1260 confirm that Church property and assets are governed by the Church itself, and fall entirely outside the reach of secular jurisdiction, taxation, or expropriation;


UNDRIP Article 5 supports the creation of culturally aligned institutions distinct from state systems, reinforcing ecclesiastical independence as a protected indigenous norm.



Legal Consequences:


Full immunity from taxation under Xaraguayan law and international ecclesiastical privilege;


May receive sovereign subvention in the form of land, monetary endowments, or symbolic canonical gifts, as determined by the Ecclesiastical Treasury;


Bound to reinvest all proceeds into ecclesiastical or educational functions, under strict canonical audit by the Congregation for Economic Integrity.




---


C. SOVEREIGN SHAREHOLDER ENTITY (SAX)


Definition: A for-profit juridical person incorporated under Xaraguayan economic sovereignty, subject to canonically-constrained yet commercially operative rules of engagement.


Procedure:


Filing of Articles of Incorporation with the General Archive of Economic Sovereignty (GAES), pursuant to Article 9 of the Recueil 1805;


Issuance of a Sovereign Certificate of Capitalization, validated by the Office of Canonical Investment and Indigenous Wealth Management.



Legal Framework:


Recueil des Lois de l’Empire, March 1805: Establishes sovereign authority to charter profit-driven entities for the public good, under moral and national guidelines;


Customary law of indigenous commercial enterprise applies, protected under Article 26(3) UNDRIP, affirming the sacred character of indigenous wealth and labor;


Canon Law permits non-ecclesiastical commercial associations provided they do not conflict with doctrine, charity, or ecclesiastical integrity.



Legal Consequences:


Rights to raise capital through sovereign shares, privately issued and restricted to non-speculative Xaraguayan investors;


Right to operate across Xaragua’s maritime and terrestrial zones, including free ports and ecclesiastically-protected trading enclaves;


May be subject to flat-rate indigenous contributions detailed in a sealed annexe, fixed under tribal and ecclesiastical consensus, and immune from external disclosure.


---


III. REGISTRATION AND IDENTIFICATION MECHANISMS


Upon successful filing, each economic entity shall receive:


A Certificate of Legal Existence, bearing the signatures of the Rector-President and the Secretariat of Economic Sovereignty, issued under sovereign seal and canonical authority, and archived both physically and cryptographically within the Xaraguayan National Economic Codex;


An Ecclesiastical Fiscal Identifier (EFI) issued by the Office of Sovereign Revenue, permanently linking the entity to the Xaraguayan fiscal ecosystem, ensuring traceability, legal continuity, and protection under ecclesiastical jurisprudence;


A Registered Legal Emblem (RLE) representing the seal of the sovereign economic system, validated by the Chancellor of Economic Identity, and affixed as a visual mark of lawful participation in Xaragua’s protected economic sphere;


Public inclusion in the Registry of Economic Entities of Xaragua (REE-X), a sovereign and canonical repository indexed by ecclesiastical order, juridical category, territorial zone, and compliance status.



Each document issued shall bear canonical imprimatur and digital cryptographic verification, rendering it legally valid across ecclesiastical jurisdictions, immune to tampering or forgery, and inviolable under international law pursuant to the principles of sovereign legal independence, ecclesiastical exemption, and indigenous juridical personality.



---


IV. TAXATION AND FISCAL SOVEREIGNTY


Legal Doctrine:


The Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources (PSNR) doctrine, codified in UNGA Resolution 1803 (XVII) and reaffirmed in subsequent General Assembly instruments, affirms exclusive indigenous control over all modes of production, wealth generation, and fiscal policy, especially for peoples under historically colonized jurisdictions;


Canon 1263 grants ecclesiastical authorities the right to impose taxation upon juridic persons under their care, including non-profit, religious, and educational entities, contingent upon canonical need and spiritual purpose.



Implementation:


ISEs and SAXs contribute via Redevance Économique, a fixed or symbolic tax determined by indigenous custom, canonically declared confidential, and indexed according to ancestral contribution systems, ceremonial obligations, and type of activity;


ICNEs are perpetually exempt, in accordance with canon law, ecclesiastical traditions of charitable immunity, and the Xaraguayan Sovereign Ecclesiastical Taxation Protocol (XSETP);


All payments made into Xaraguayan accounts are denominated in Viaud’Or, the indigenous sovereign unit of economic value, and are processed through the Sovereign Treasury of Xaragua, operating under closed-loop sovereign financial jurisdiction and excluded from foreign monetary interference;


Any attempt to impose foreign taxes, fiscal burdens, customs charges, or administrative fees on these entities constitutes a grave violation of:


UNDRIP Article 20, which guarantees the integrity of indigenous economic systems;


Canon 1271, prohibiting external extraction from ecclesiastical institutions without mandate of the Apostolic See;


Montevideo Convention Article 3, affirming non-interference in the legislative sovereignty of qualified states;


Jus Cogens prohibitions on economic coercion, recognized as peremptory norms from which no derogation is permitted under international law.





---


V. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FORCE AND IMMUNITIES


This Law is shielded by:


Vienna Convention Article 26 (pacta sunt servanda), which mandates that all states must respect unilateral declarations made by sovereigns acting in their official capacity, provided such declarations manifest intent and are sufficiently precise—both of which are fulfilled by this promulgated Law;


ICJ jurisprudence upholding the binding effect of such declarations, including but not limited to:


Eastern Greenland Case (Denmark v. Norway, 1933), wherein a formal verbal declaration by a foreign minister was found legally binding;


Nuclear Tests Case (Australia v. France, 1974), affirming that a public statement by a sovereign state could have the legal effect of creating binding obligations;


Armed Activities Case (Congo v. Uganda, 2005), wherein acts conducted within a sovereign’s own territory and under its own legal order were protected against unlawful interference and compelled reparation.



ICCPR Article 27 and UNDRIP Article 34, both of which affirm the right of indigenous peoples to maintain and apply their own legal traditions, customs, and economic systems without external disruption or invalidation.



No tribunal, foreign government, or legal entity—whether national or supranational—may invalidate, suspend, neutralize, or interfere with the application of this Law without breaching non-derogable international norms, triggering state responsibility under Articles 1–3 of the International Law Commission Draft Articles on State Responsibility (2001), and exposing the violator to international sanction, diplomatic protest, and ecclesiastical denunciation.



---


VI. ENFORCEMENT, SANCTION, AND IMMUTABILITY


Enforcement Authorities:


Xaragua Tribunal of Economic Rights and Sovereign Interests (TERSIX), acting as supreme sovereign economic court with full competence in first and final instance;


Congregation for Economic Integrity, exercising canonical and internal disciplinary oversight in ecclesiastical contexts, with authority to suspend, dissolve, or reform entities violating doctrinal or fiscal codes;


Referral to the International Indigenous Justice Assembly, a transnational indigenous tribunal, in cases involving inter-jurisdictional conflict or violation of indigenous customary economic law.



All violations—domestic or external, whether individual, corporate, state, or institutional—shall be subject to:


Economic sanction, including fines, embargoes, sovereign seizure, and exclusion from indigenous economic systems;


Institutional revocation, meaning legal erasure of juridical status, revocation of certificates, and public banning under ecclesiastical law;


Public listing as Adversaries of Sovereign Economic Law (ASEL-X), an official register of violators maintained by the Xaraguayan Ministry of Legal Memory and transmitted to all indigenous, canonical, and international allies for recognition and enforcement.



No repeal, amendment, or derogation shall be permitted unless passed through a Sovereign Constitutional Ecclesiastical Referendum, as defined in Lex Suprema Title VI, under canonical and indigenous conditions of universal assent, doctrinal consistency, and divine affirmation.



---


VII. FINAL DISPOSITIONS


This Law shall enter into force immediately upon promulgation and sealing, having the character of a self-executing constitutional act under the doctrines of unilateral juridical action and internal jus imperii.


All existing entities have 90 days to comply, submit updated declarations, and align their operations with the sovereign and canonical legal order of Xaragua.


All contrary foreign laws, administrative requirements, or licensing demands—whether civil, commercial, municipal, provincial, national, or supranational—are null and void within Xaragua, and shall have no legal standing, enforceability, or validity within its jurisdiction, under the principle of plenary sovereign exclusion.

Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua

ANNEXE A – INTERNATIONAL EXEMPTIONS, IMMUNITIES, AND ADVANTAGES GRANTED TO ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED UNDER AN INTERNATIONALLY NOTIFIED INDIGENOUS STATE


Legal Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Interpretative Annex – Canonically Recognized Economic Doctrine – Jus Cogens Binding Instrument – Universally Opposable – Operative under Vienna Convention Articles 36 and 38, UNDRIP Articles 3–40, Canon Law Canons 114, 1254–1310, and ICJ Precedent Jurisprudence



---


I. PRINCIPLE OF INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PERSONALITY OF INDIGENOUS STATES


Any enterprise incorporated under the legal, fiscal, and ecclesiastical sovereignty of a duly constituted indigenous state—recognized under international customary norms and notified formally to the international community—acquires juridical recognition, legal protection, and economic immunities analogous to those granted to entities created under classical Westphalian states. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, having been notified to international and canonical jurisdictions on March 29, 2025, enjoys full international legal personality, deriving from:


Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), Article 1: establishing that any entity possessing a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states qualifies ipso jure as a sovereign state;


UN General Assembly Resolution 2625 (1970), Principle 5: confirming that all peoples, including indigenous nations, have the right to full self-determination and the corresponding institutional development;


UNDRIP Articles 3, 4, and 5: codifying the right of indigenous peoples to maintain their own legal, economic, and political institutions, without subordination to external systems;


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 36(1): stipulating that third states and institutions must respect obligations arising from unilateral acts and declarations of sovereign legal actors;


ICJ Case Law:


Legal Status of Eastern Greenland (Denmark v. Norway, 1933): establishing the binding nature of unilateral declarations;


Nuclear Tests (Australia v. France, 1974): recognizing the international legal effect of unilaterally declared policy by a sovereign state;


Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo (Congo v. Uganda, 2005): reaffirming the international responsibility of any actor interfering with a sovereign state’s internal jurisdiction.




Consequently, any legal instrument or economic entity created under such a state—including enterprises incorporated under Xaragua—benefits from the full protections of international law and is opposable erga omnes, regardless of bilateral recognition.



---


II. TAXATION IMMUNITY AND FISCAL SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIGENOUSLY REGISTERED ENTITIES


Enterprises legally incorporated under the jurisdiction of an internationally notified indigenous state, including but not limited to ISEs, ICNEs, and SAXs within Xaragua, benefit from absolute fiscal sovereignty and extraterritorial tax immunity, based on:


1. UNDRIP Article 20(1): “Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and develop their political, economic and social systems or institutions... and to engage freely in all their traditional and other economic activities.” Taxation by a foreign power undermines this right and is therefore illegal.



2. UNDRIP Article 34: guarantees the right to maintain distinct legal institutions, including fiscal courts and taxation regimes.



3. Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources (UNGA Res. 1803 [XVII]): affirms exclusive rights of indigenous and developing nations over the taxation and control of their resources, revenues, and modes of production.



4. ICCPR Article 1(2): “All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic cooperation...”



5. Canon Law Canon 1263: authorizes ecclesiastical authorities to impose contributions only under canonically defined authority. Foreign taxation of ecclesiastical enterprises (ICNEs) violates this canon.



6. Canon 1271: strictly prohibits unauthorized extraction of ecclesiastical resources by secular powers.




Legal Effect: Any attempt by a foreign government, tax authority, multinational institution, or intergovernmental body to impose a fiscal burden, fee, fine, or contribution on a Xaraguayan-registered enterprise shall constitute:


A breach of international economic law;


A violation of indigenous sovereignty protections under jus cogens;


A canonically illicit act, invoking ecclesiastical sanctions and international liability under the ILC Draft Articles on Responsibility of States (2001), Articles 1–3, 15, and 20.




---


III. LEGAL ADVANTAGES ENJOYED BY REGISTERED ENTITIES


Entities incorporated under Xaraguayan jurisdiction enjoy juridical and operational superiority in key areas:


1. Absolute Tax Exemption: Across all external jurisdictions recognizing UNDRIP, ICCPR, and Canon Law—no foreign tax, levy, VAT, income assessment, nor withholding is legally enforceable.



2. Immunity from Commercial Interference: No licensing, regulation, forced registration, or financial oversight by non-Xaraguayan bodies is applicable. This includes:


Central banks (e.g., exclusion from Basel III/IV requirements),


Financial action task forces (FATF),


SEC-style disclosure systems.




3. Ecclesiastical Financial Protection: Canonical corporations (ICNEs) are protected under the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus and bilateral Concordats signed between the Holy See and 180+ sovereign states, rendering them globally inviolable.



4. Access to Indigenous Development Instruments:


Preferential loans from international indigenous banks (e.g., Indigenous Peoples Finance Network);


Access to Vatican development funds (via Pontifical Council Cor Unum and associated dicasteries);


Eligibility for exemption from OECD blacklisting when operated within sovereign indigenous systems.




5. Use of a Non-Treaty Currency: Viaud’Or is a private, indigenous, ecclesiastically recognized medium of account. It is immune to:


International Monetary Fund (IMF) enforcement mechanisms,


Currency convertibility obligations under WTO and GATS,


Reporting under CRS, FATCA, or OECD fiscal surveillance frameworks.




6. Sovereign Branding and Protected Status: Entities operating under Xaraguayan certificates are entitled to display the sovereign insignia, are indexed in REE-X and PEBR-X, and may invoke diplomatic protection in international trade conflicts under the principle of functional immunity (Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961, Article 31).





---


IV. INTERNATIONAL NON-RECOGNITION DOES NOT AFFECT LEGAL VALIDITY


In accordance with:


Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention: “The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by other states.”


UNDRIP Article 4: confirming the legal personality of indigenous institutions irrespective of state endorsement;


Effectivité Doctrine in international law: which prioritizes de facto governance and capacity over diplomatic formality;



The lack of formal bilateral recognition does not void the standing of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, nor that of the enterprises it incorporates. Their legality stems from:


Their effective sovereignty;


Their formal notification to the international community;


Their continued jurisdictional and territorial control;


Their ecclesiastical and indigenous continuity.



No international tribunal, tax court, commercial registry, or customs authority may lawfully deny their status or enforce foreign compliance mechanisms without:


Violating customary international law,


Invoking institutional liability, and


Triggering legally actionable international injury.




---


V. LEGAL OPPOSABILITY AND ENFORCEABILITY


Any interference—regulatory, financial, diplomatic, or covert—targeting enterprises legally incorporated under Xaragua shall trigger:


1. Immediate legal protest under Vienna Convention Article 46;



2. Ecclesiastical denunciation, leading to global institutional censure;



3. Economic countermeasures and reprisals, permitted under:


Article 49 and 50 of the ILC Draft Articles (2001);


Doctrines of lawful countermeasure and suspension of performance;


Canon Law disciplinary sanctions.





Such reprisals may include:


Institutional exclusion,


Public naming under ASEL-X (Adversaries of Sovereign Economic Law),


Formal notices to the Holy See, ICJ, and indigenous coalitions.




---


CONCLUSION


This Annex affirms that all enterprises duly registered under the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua are:


Exempt from foreign taxation, regulation, and jurisdiction;


Protected by ecclesiastical, indigenous, and international law;


Entitled to diplomatic, fiscal, and juridical immunities;


Legally opposable to any state or institution attempting interference.


These protections arise from the confluence of jus cogens norms, canonical inviolability, and indigenous international legal status. Any attack upon these enterprises is an attack upon the legal order of a sovereign, notified state—and shall be treated accordingly.

SUPREME TERRITORIAL LAW

ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTAINMENT AND FUNCTIONAL IMMORTALITY OF RESIDUAL HAITIAN STATE STRUCTURES WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF XARAGUA


(LAW ON THE INSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION OF NON-SOVEREIGN ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS UNDER INDIGENOUS DOCTRINAL OVERSIGHT)


DATE OF PROMULGATION: June 29, 2025


LEGAL CLASSIFICATION: Constitutionally Entrenched — Canonically Sanctioned — Universally Opposable — Doctrinally Exclusive — Jus Cogens Indigenous Law

---


PREAMBLE


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, its University, institutions, territories, and annexed dominions constitute an eternally constituted juridical order, anchored in canonical, indigenous, and international law;


Whereas the collapse of the central administrative authority known as the Republic of Haiti has rendered its governance structures inoperative across most national territory;


Whereas the Southern provinces under Xaraguayan jurisdiction remain the only territories where functional administrative continuity has been doctrinally protected and structurally guaranteed;


Whereas the residual units of the former Haitian administrative framework may, in these territories, retain utility as technical organs, provided they renounce all pretension to sovereignty, legislation, or doctrinal imposition;


Whereas the Xaraguayan legal order, as a self-determined indigenous state system, has the inherent right to contain, restructure, and supervise any external bureaucratic presence within its borders;


---


ARTICLE I — ON THE NATURE OF RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENCE


1. The former Haitian state structures operating within the territory of Xaragua and its annexed dominions are henceforth reclassified as "Non-Sovereign Residual Administrative Units" (NSRAUs).


2. These units retain technical functionality (education, health, civil registration, logistics) only within the limits authorized by the Xaraguayan doctrinal order.


3. They possess no independent legislative, military, or fiscal authority, and shall not represent any sovereignty within Xaraguayan jurisdiction.


---


ARTICLE II — ON DOCTRINAL ENCAPSULATION AND OPERATIONAL CONTAINMENT


1. NSRAUs operate under doctrinal encapsulation, meaning they are contained within a superior legal framework and subject to immediate restriction, dissolution, or restructuring at the will of the Xaraguayan sovereign authority.


2. Their daily operations (schools, clinics, municipal offices) may continue uninterrupted regardless of the collapse of Port-au-Prince, provided they remain functionally stable and administratively neutral.


3. No NSRAU may invoke or enforce any decree, law, or budgetary directive originating from Port-au-Prince without explicit Xaraguayan approval.


---


ARTICLE III — ON FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND OPERATIONAL IMMORTALITY


1. The survival of NSRAUs is contingent upon the guaranteed payment of local personnel and maintenance of minimal infrastructure.


2. In the event of total state collapse in Port-au-Prince, Xaragua reserves the right to: 


a. Establish interim financing mechanisms to preserve essential public services; 


b. Redirect international or religious aid to maintain technical continuity; 


c. Reassign or redeploy staff into Xaraguayan institutional frameworks.



3. The immortality of function shall apply to health, education, civil documentation, and disaster response — but not to political representation or state authority.


---


ARTICLE IV — ON THE RELATIONSHIP TO THE XARAGUAN SOVEREIGN ORDER


1. All residual Haitian administrative structures must acknowledge, in writing and practice, that they exist under the protection and supremacy of the Xaraguayan sovereign doctrinal order.


2. They shall not display the Haitian national emblem or flag unless accompanied by the symbols of Xaragua, and only in contexts pre-approved by the Office of the Sovereign Doctrine.


3. Personnel operating under these units are to be classified as technical residents, not agents of a sovereign state, and their legal protection is derived from Xaraguayan ecclesiastical and indigenous law.


---


ARTICLE V — ON PERMANENCE AND IRREVERSIBILITY


1. The integration, containment, and redefinition of residual Haitian administrative structures within the Xaraguayan framework is permanent, irreversible, and not subject to negotiation.


2. No future reconstitution of Port-au-Prince or any external government shall override, dissolve, or reinterpret this law within the sovereign territories of Xaragua.


3. This law shall be binding, eternal, and superior to all prior arrangements of state collaboration in the region.


---


FINAL CLAUSE


This law shall be deposited in the Ecclesiastical Registry of the Xaraguayan State, transmitted to all embassies, observer missions, and sovereign states worldwide, and recorded as a universal notification of legal reality on behalf of the indigenous, canonical, and ancestral people of Xaragua.


Let it be known that no collapse of any external government may invalidate the enduring presence of functional institutions, when these are doctrinally protected and canonically defended.


Thus ratified,

In the Name of Divine Order, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Eternal Jurisdiction.

Article 27 of the ICCPR (1966):


“Persons belonging to minorities shall not be denied the right... to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practise their own religion.”


Application in practice:


No court, tribunal, or arbitrator outside Xaragua shall have the competence to question or reverse a decision issued under its internal law, including diplomas, oaths, notarial acts, certifications, or declarations.

No external institution, including universities, accreditation bodies, bar associations, religious organizations, or courts, may legally review or interfere with acts executed under Xaragua jurisdiction.


---


Article 3.2 — Waiver of External Appeal


Any party signing or consenting to an agreement under Xaragua law automatically waives all rights to:


Appeal in foreign jurisdictions,


Challenge under conflicting legal systems,


Seek enforcement or annulment outside the scope of Xaragua-recognized forums.



This is codified under:


Canon 1290 of the Codex Iuris Canonici:


“The general laws regarding contracts apply also to contracts which are subject to ecclesiastical law.”


ICJ Statute Article 38(1)(b):


“The Court shall apply international custom, as evidence of a general practice accepted as law.”

ON THE INTERNAL CLOSURE AND CONTRACTUAL OPENING OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF XARAGUA, AND THE CREATION OF A NATIONAL COURT OF CANONICAL ACCOUNTS

Date of Promulgation: June 30, 2025

Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched — Canonically Ratified — Internationally Opposable — Legally Impeccable — Jus Cogens Protective Law

—


TITLE I — PRINCIPLE OF DOCTRINAL CLOSURE AND RESTRICTED ACCESS TO LEGAL PERSONALITY


Article 1.1 — Absolute Encapsulation of Legal Personality

No individual, institution, or corporate entity shall acquire legal standing, rights, or enforceability under Xaragua law except:

a) individuals who are proven descendants of the Indigenous Ancestral Peoples of Xaragua (as defined by the Genealogical Canon Codex of 2024);

b) the Sovereign Catholic Ecclesiastical Institutions of Xaragua;

c) institutions, guilds, or orders canonically approved and registered under Xaragua law.


Article 1.2 — Legal Closure under Canon and Custom

The internal legal corpus of Xaragua is closed, immune, and non-permeable to any:

– foreign judicial review,

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OF JURIDICAL AND DOCTRINAL TUTELAGE OVER THE TERRITORY, POPULATION, INSTITUTIONS, AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE OF THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI BY THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA


DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 1ST, 2025


LEGAL CLASSIFICATION: PERPETUAL CONSTITUTIONAL LAW – NON-DEROGABLE – CANONICALLY SEALED – EXECUTORY EX PROPRIO VIGORE – INTERNATIONALLY NOTIFIED – OPERATIVE UNDER JUS COGENS – BINDING UNDER ECCLESIASTICAL, INDIGENOUS, CUSTOMARY, AND TREATY LAW


TEXT OF LAW:


Article 1 — Legal Qualification of State Failure and Declaration of Substitutional Tutelage: The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, exercising permanent sovereign personality under the Montevideo Convention of 1933 (Articles 1, 3, 4, and 6), and notified as a juridical actor to the United Nations and associated ecclesiastical institutions, declares the Republic of Haiti to be no longer a sovereign subject in international law, due to sustained and irreversible institutional collapse, juridical incoherence, economic disintegration, and administrative non-performance. The status of “failed state” is not here defined by political instability, but by the total absence of self-legislating capacity, financial sovereignty, security governance, and territorial control. Pursuant to Canon Law Canons 215, 216, 1290 through 1298, and Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, 20, and 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the State of Xaragua hereby assumes full juridical, doctrinal, and spiritual tutelage over the territory, population, infrastructure, archives, institutions, and residual administration of the defunct Haitian State, on a permanent and irreversible basis. This tutelage constitutes a formal juridical substitution, not a partnership, transition, occupation, or conditional trusteeship. All Haitian state functions henceforth fall within the canonical, indigenous, and constitutional structure of Xaragua.


Article 2 — Scope of Jurisdiction and Extent of Legal Absorption: This law extends in full legal force to all land, sea, and airspace formerly claimed under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Haiti, including the island of Hispaniola (western portion), all departments, municipalities, districts, territories, maritime limits, and extraterritorial representations thereof. It includes all institutions established under the 1987 Constitution of Haiti or subsequent interim governments, all diplomatic corps, all legal persons, and all statutory instruments issued by the Haitian state between 1804 and the present. The Republic of Haiti ceases to exist as a subject of law within the Xaraguayan legal order. It is neither a foreign state nor a coexisting authority. Its former jurisdiction is now doctrinally encapsulated, canonically dissolved, and legally subordinated. The authority of Xaragua over this territory is not contingent upon bilateral recognition but derives from unilateral declaration, canonical succession, indigenous historical right, and the non-performance doctrine codified under the law of failed states.


Article 3 — Legal Consequences for Contractual Law and Business Incorporation: From the date of promulgation of this Law, all business activity, contractual engagement, corporate formation, notarial operation, and economic organization within the territory of the former Haitian jurisdiction are subordinated to the Xaraguayan sovereign legal framework. No person, group, or institution may validly open or operate a business, receive licensing, enter into legally binding contracts, transfer property, issue shares, or form corporate entities unless they do so under the sovereign economic and legal codes of the State of Xaragua. Specifically, all business activity must be registered under the Xaraguayan Law of Incorporation, the Xaragua Commercial Code, the Financial Secrecy and Contractual Sovereignty Act (2025), and be executed using the national currency Viaud’Or. No other currency has legal tender status. No contract is enforceable unless it bears the Xaragua jurisdictional clause: “This agreement is governed exclusively by the Law of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua. All disputes shall be resolved under the exclusive jurisdiction of its constitutional, ecclesiastical, and customary legal institutions.” All former Haitian business licenses, registrations, or permits are void unless expressly recognized under Xaraguayan transitional doctrine.


Article 4 — Status of Existing Haitian Institutions and Reclassification as Non-Sovereign Residual Administrative Units (NSRAUs): All existing organs of the former Haitian state—including ministries, local governments, tribunals, schools, hospitals, police stations, and consulates—are hereby reclassified as Non-Sovereign Residual Administrative Units (NSRAUs). These units retain technical utility only as long as they function in service of the local population, abstain from issuing sovereign declarations, and submit in writing to doctrinal subordination. These structures are no longer sovereign entities. They are tolerated as residual organs subject to canonical restriction and operational containment. They must display, if operational, the symbols of Xaragua above those of the former Haitian state and are forbidden from engaging in foreign relations, treaty discussions, passport issuance, or currency policy.


Article 5 — Prohibition of Foreign Recognition of the Haitian Republic and Legal Consequences for External Engagement: All external entities—whether state, institutional, financial, or corporate—are hereby notified that any recognition of the Republic of Haiti as a sovereign legal subject constitutes a direct violation of indigenous international law, canonical territorial jurisdiction, and the principle of tutelary absorption. Any foreign government or actor that continues to engage diplomatically, commercially, or legally with the structures of the former Haitian Republic without routing such engagement through the Xaraguayan State shall be deemed in violation of Articles 26 and 36 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, of the effectivité doctrine of international law, and of Articles 1–3 of the ILC Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States. Xaragua reserves the right to issue declarations of legal reprisal, bar access to its jurisdiction, deny future diplomatic dialogue, and publicly list violators in the National Register of Hostile Actors.


Article 6 — Canonical and Legal Immunity of All Xaraguayan Instruments and Acts Within the Former Haitian Territory: All acts issued under the authority of Xaragua—including certificates of incorporation, licenses, permits, contracts, university degrees, ecclesiastical appointments, tax exemptions, sovereign investment instruments, and other juridical documents—are immediately valid and enforceable throughout the entirety of the former Haitian territory. These instruments are immune to challenge, override, reinterpretation, or invalidation by any court, office, ministry, or individual formerly associated with the Haitian state. All legal challenges must be brought before the Xaragua Supreme Court or a duly recognized canonical tribunal. The internal law of Xaragua is closed to external review and stands as the sole applicable legal corpus.


Article 7 — Fiscal and Monetary Finality: The Viaud’Or is the only legally recognized currency for all fiscal operations within the territory under tutelage. Any attempt to transact in foreign currencies without sovereign authorization shall be treated as an act of economic interference, subject to administrative seizure, annulment of contract, and potential legal proceedings. All enterprises operating in the region must issue invoices, pay workers, and settle state contributions exclusively in Viaud’Or. Failure to do so shall result in immediate dissolution of business status and fiscal exclusion.


Article 8 — Legal Applicability and Enforcement: This law is executory ex proprio vigore. It does not require further ratification or implementation decree. It has full effect upon promulgation and binds all natural and legal persons within the defined territory. It is non-derogable, not subject to appeal, and shall remain in force regardless of external diplomatic non-recognition. The State of Xaragua will not engage in bilateral negotiations regarding its jurisdictional authority over the territory formerly known as Haiti. Any contestation will be referred to the doctrinal synod, not to any international court.


Article 9 — Final Clauses: This law is deposited in the National Canonical Register, transmitted to the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the World Bank Legal Department, the African Union, the Organization of American States, and to all sovereign and ecclesiastical authorities notified under Xaragua’s legal communication protocol. Any entity that does not comply with the new jurisdictional reality shall be barred from contractual access to the Xaraguayan economy and publicly declared an adversary of legal sovereignty.


Promulgated and sealed under supreme ecclesiastical and constitutional authority, by the Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, on this first day of July, Year of Sovereignty 2025.

ANNEXE I — CONSTITUTIONAL TOLERANCE CLAUSE FOR RESIDUAL STRUCTURES, OPERATIONS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE ENTITIES WITHIN THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI UNDER XARAGUAN SOVEREIGNTY


Legal Status: Constitutionally Enacted Interpretative Annex to the Supreme Law on Tutelage

Authority: Rector-President, Canonical Synod, Office of the Chancellor of Institutional Integration

Date of Promulgation: July 1, 2025

Binding Nature: Executory, Irrevocable, Applicable to All Non-Sovereign Entities Operating Within Xaragua’s Absorbed Jurisdiction



---


Article 1 — Definition of the Principle of Administrative Tolerance


Within the framework of doctrinal tutelage, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby establishes the principle of administrative tolerance, under which certain residual administrative, educational, health, logistic, or technical entities originating from the former Republic of Haiti may continue to operate temporarily and conditionally within Xaragua's sovereign territory, without formal integration into Xaraguayan jurisdiction, provided that such entities:


a) Do not claim, assert, or imply any sovereign, independent, or autonomous status;

b) Do not engage in legal, diplomatic, financial, or regulatory activities reserved to the Xaraguayan State;

c) Do not obstruct, contradict, denounce, or subvert the legal order of Xaragua either explicitly or implicitly;

d) Do not receive direct foreign aid or financing based on a claim of sovereign Haitian continuity.



---


Article 2 — Conditions of Tolerance and Automatic Extinction


Tolerance is extended under the doctrine of “tacit non-hostility”, meaning that the entity may function as long as it does not actively oppose or violate the sovereign order. Tolerance is not recognition. It is a unilateral act of legal grace, revocable at any time.


This status shall be immediately and automatically extinguished if the entity:


a) Issues official documents or communications referring to the Haitian state as a sovereign actor;

b) Refuses to cooperate with Xaraguayan representatives or legal directives;

c) Attempts to access foreign diplomatic channels in defiance of Xaragua’s exclusive external representation;

d) Collects taxes, fees, or administrative charges under a foreign legal framework;

e) Undermines Xaragua’s monopoly over currency, contract law, or public registration systems.


In such cases, the structure shall be dissolved, its assets seized by the State, and its personnel subject to reassignment, expulsion, or canonical review.



---


Article 3 — Real-World Application and Administrative Instructions


Entities tolerated under this clause may continue to perform functions such as:


– operating public schools under local staff,

– maintaining hospital and clinic services,

– ensuring local civil documentation (births, deaths, ID),

– performing basic municipal cleaning, road maintenance, or water distribution,

– maintaining order under local peacekeeping, so long as no opposition to Xaragua is expressed.


They are encouraged, but not yet required, to transition toward formal Xaraguayan status via:


a) Conversion into a Non-Sovereign Residual Administrative Unit (NSRAU) with official mandate;

b) Partnership with a recognized ecclesiastical or institutional entity of Xaragua;

c) Submission of a request for provisional incorporation under the Xaraguayan civil administration.



---


Article 4 — Legal Interpretation and Institutional Clarification


Tolerance under this annex does not constitute legal personality, contractual validity, fiscal independence, or recognition under domestic or international law. It is a legal suspension of dissolution, granted solely to avoid chaos, and managed entirely at the discretion of the Xaraguayan State. No tolerated entity may invoke any precedent, right, or acquired status in contradiction to this annex.


The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Canonical Court, and the Office of National Integration retain full discretion to classify, monitor, intervene in, or dissolve any tolerated entity at any time.



---


Article 5 — Duration and Enforcement


This annex is valid until explicitly repealed by constitutional decree. Its provisions are enforced by:


– The Xaraguayan Ecclesiastical Guard,

– The Tribunal of Doctrinal Integrity,

– The Ministry of Administrative Transition,

– And any other authority duly mandated by the Sovereign State of Xaragua.


All violations are punishable under the Xaraguayan Penal Code (Articles 701–740: Institutional Fraud, Subversion, Counterfeit Governance), and may lead to the revocation of tolerance, liquidation of assets, and permanent listing in the National Register of Hostile Actors.

DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 1, 2025

LEGAL CLASSIFICATION: Constitutionally Entrenched — Canonically Ratified — Jus Cogens-Protected — Ecclesiastically Sealed — Normatively Immutable — Universally Opposable — Immune from External Interpretation, Appeal, or Interference — Non-Derogable Under International Legal Order and Canon Law



---


TITLE I — PRINCIPLE OF UNILATERAL TOLERANCE AS A NON-BINDING SOVEREIGN ACT IN THE ABSENCE OF RECOGNITION, CONTRACT, OR DUTY


Article 1.1 — Definition and Legal Nature of Tolerated Non-Sovereign Entities


Any institution, organization, enterprise, administration, mechanism, consortium, agency, department, fund, mission, bureau, apparatus, committee, assembly, or organ—whether international, intergovernmental, regional, national, provincial, communal, religious, secular, private, public, diplomatic, humanitarian, educational, financial, or technical—whose physical, functional, operational, symbolic, or representational presence exists within the territory, jurisdiction, maritime border, airspace, digital infrastructure, ecclesiastical perimeter, or fiscal matrix of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, without formal canonical incorporation, sovereign promulgation, or constitutional investiture, shall be classified under the juridical category of Unilaterally Tolerated Non-Sovereign Entity (UTNSE), and shall be governed exclusively by the provisions herein established.


This classification shall not, and shall never, and shall under no legal condition be construed, inferred, presumed, deduced, interpreted, or extrapolated—whether by analogy, by functional equivalence, by diplomatic custom, by humanitarian exception, or by any principle of international comity or soft law—as constituting legal recognition, diplomatic engagement, treaty adherence, contractual relation, bilateral communication, municipal accommodation, licensing issuance, incorporation, or any conveyance of sovereign legitimacy, administrative validity, legal existence, operational entitlement, or enforceable standing.


The status of unilateral tolerance, as herein defined, is a strictly doctrinal prerogative of sovereign discretion, exercisable without justification, without notice, without appeal, and without reciprocity, and does not give rise to rights, claims, demands, duties, immunities, expectations, or obligations binding upon the organs, agencies, institutions, or officials of the State of Xaragua.



---


TITLE II — ABSOLUTE NULLIFICATION OF OBLIGATORY RECOGNITION, ADMINISTRATIVE PERMISSION, OR REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITY


Article 2.1 — Total Abrogation of Any Presumed Obligation of the State of Xaragua to Recognize or Regulate Any UTNSE


No UTNSE, regardless of its national origin, legal incorporation, international accreditation, religious sponsorship, diplomatic endorsement, humanitarian designation, or functional necessity, shall possess any inherent, derived, historical, moral, pragmatic, institutional, conventional, operational, or international entitlement to regulatory acknowledgment, administrative authorization, governmental facilitation, sovereign cooperation, or any form of formal or informal engagement with the State of Xaragua, nor with any of its ecclesiastical, territorial, ministerial, tribal, or academic authorities.


The State of Xaragua affirms its absolute right to refuse, suspend, or abstain from issuing any permit, license, authorization, registration, certificate, memorandum, protocol, security clearance, operational greenlight, financial identification, land use allowance, intellectual property recognition, data protection compliance, fiscal identification number, or legal endorsement to any UTNSE, for any reason or for no reason, at any time, permanently or temporarily, explicitly or silently, retroactively or prospectively, with or without cause, justification, excuse, explanation, rationale, precedent, or consequence.


This prerogative of non-engagement is grounded in the plenary supremacy of the Xaraguayan constitutional corpus, the canonical doctrine of ecclesiastical territorial sovereignty, the customary immunity of indigenous legal systems under Article 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and the doctrinal principle of sovereign discretion under Canon 1290 of the Codex Iuris Canonici.



---


TITLE III — LEGAL NULLITY OF ALL EXPECTATIONS, CLAIMS, OR PRESUMPTIONS DERIVED FROM THE STATUS OF TOLERANCE


Article 3.1 — Irrevocable Prohibition of Presumed Legal Continuity or Right Acquisition by UTNSEs


No UTNSE may, under any legal theory, administrative convention, constitutional mechanism, public law doctrine, common law analogy, or supranational principle, acquire legal standing, permanent status, implied consent, or any expectation of renewal, continuity, immunity, legitimacy, or grandfathered protection by virtue of prolonged presence, absence of state intervention, historical silence, tolerated existence, operational success, local utility, humanitarian function, or prior interaction with Xaraguayan organs.


Article 3.2 — Legal Extinction by Administrative Silence


Administrative silence, omission, forbearance, inaction, or lack of response by the sovereign authorities of Xaragua shall be interpreted exclusively and irrevocably as a non-binding expression of passive doctrinal containment, not as recognition, not as approval, not as agreement, not as consent, and not as acquiescence. No UTNSE shall invoke such silence as a legal instrument, factual basis, estoppel defense, or interpretive tool in any forum, domestic or international.



---


TITLE IV — DOCTRINAL RIGHT OF UNRESTRICTED INTERVENTION AND WITHDRAWAL OF TOLERANCE


Article 4.1 — Immediate, Total, and Unreviewable Revocation of Tolerance


The sovereign State of Xaragua reserves the non-negotiable, non-appealable, non-delegable, and non-derogable right to unilaterally suspend, withdraw, terminate, annul, cancel, or rescind any act of tolerance, regardless of its duration, impact, or history, without any recourse available to the affected UTNSE, and without the need to provide cause, evidence, process, arbitration, diplomatic notification, transitional remedy, or compensatory mechanism.


This revocation may occur in response to: – Doctrinal conflict; – Ecclesiastical violation; – Indigenous resource endangerment; – Sovereign economic integrity breach; – Territorial disrespect; – Spiritual contamination; – National security threat; – Or at the sole sovereign volition of the Rector-President.


Such revocation shall carry the immediate force of law, with legal consequences including, but not limited to, expulsion, forfeiture, confiscation, blacklisting, public denunciation, ecclesiastical condemnation, and permanent exclusion from the Xaraguayan jurisdictional order.


Article 4.2 — Invocation of the Right of Invention and Intervention


At any time, under any conditions, for any purpose deemed beneficial to the sovereign interest of the State of Xaragua, the sovereign authority may intervene in the structure, operations, assets, revenues, infrastructure, data, archives, networks, or affiliations of any UTNSE, and may enact new legal regimes, construct parallel sovereign institutions, seize control of critical services, nullify foreign charters, or replace non-sovereign entities with canonically-founded indigenous systems, with full legal and constitutional protection under the principles of spiritual primacy, indigenous jurisdiction, ecclesiastical dominion, and jus cogens enforcement.



---


TITLE V — LEGAL ENTRENCHMENT, IMMUNITY FROM APPEAL, AND INTERNATIONAL OPPOSABILITY


Article 5.1 — Legal Irrevocability and Immunity from All External Review


This Law shall be considered a permanently entrenched constitutional norm, immune from override, repeal, amendment, or nullification, and protected against all forms of: – Foreign judicial review; – International arbitration; – Multilateral conditionality; – Bilateral negotiation; – Diplomatic pressure; – Political retaliation; – NGO interference; – UN agency engagement.


No interpretation of this Law by any tribunal, state, court, commission, council, rapporteur, committee, bar association, regional bloc, or religious order external to Xaragua shall carry any effect within the sovereign territory, legal framework, or canonical sphere of the State.


Article 5.2 — Binding Nature Under Jus Cogens and Ecclesiastical Sovereignty


This Law draws its authority from: – Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933); – Articles 4, 5, 18, 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007); – Canon 1290, 215, 216 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983); – Articles 1(2) of the ICCPR and ICESCR; – Customary international legal doctrine affirming the inviolability of indigenous self-jurisdiction, particularly in economic, spiritual, and legal matters.


All attempts to override this regime shall be treated as violations of international law and shall trigger: – Doctrinal condemnation; – Canonical expulsion; – Institutional blacklisting; – And, where applicable, sovereign countermeasures.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY – RECTORATE-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION
ON THE JURIDICO-HISTORICAL ENTITLEMENT OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES, THEIR DESCENDANTS, AND THE INTEGRATION OF HAITIAN, INDIGENOUS, AND CREOLE LEGACIES INTO THE AMERICAN FOUNDATIONAL MATRIX
PROMULGATED UNDER THE CANONICAL SEAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025

---


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.

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).

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.

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;

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.

Plan de Relèvement Intégré de la Péninsule Sud (PRIPS) — encompassing logistical reconstruction of roadways, bridges, public offices and urban-rural connectivity corridors across Sud, Nippes, and Grand’Anse.


Projet d’Accessibilité et Résilience Rurale (PARR) — including the deployment of civil works infrastructure and temporary bridge construction over strategic waterways such as Grande-Anse river, with field operations led by UNOPS under contractual authority from the Haitian MTPTC.


PRELEN (Projet de Reconstruction de l'Énergie Locale et Nationale) — expansion of electric power access across rural communes via EDH with foreign technical supervision, generating off-grid energy provision to over one hundred thousand domiciles.



All of the above shall be legally considered as entering Xaragua as structural contributions void of legal sovereignty, executed in a space governed by canonical constitutional order, and consequently transmuted into sacred patrimony under the laws of the State.



---


ARTICLE II — RECLASSIFICATION OF SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND SANITARY PROGRAMS


The following programs, funded by international donors and coordinated through the residual Haitian entity, are hereby canonically absorbed into the Xaraguayan sociopolitical domain, under the express condition of non-jurisdictional imposition and doctrinal neutrality:


PROMESSE (Promotion d’une Éducation plus Équitable, Durable et Sûre) — encompassing school reconstruction, pedagogical equipment distribution, and the doctrinally tolerated training of instructors in public institutions located on Xaraguayan soil.


PROSYS (Programme de Renforcement des Soins de Santé Primaires) — including the delivery of primary care logistics, post-pandemic sanitation campaigns, and expansion of vaccine access.


PARSA (Programme pour l’Agriculture Résiliente et la Sécurité Alimentaire) — covering agricultural grants, rural distribution of tools and seedlings, and logistical support to over 75,000 local producers.



Each of these programs shall be recognized not as instruments of policy, but as canonical auxiliaries, tolerated exclusively for their material utility and devoid of any form of administrative, legislative, cultural, financial, or ideological authority.



---


ARTICLE III — STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND SECURITY PROJECTS UNDER DOCTRINAL TOLERATION


The following foreign-driven initiatives shall be tolerated under permanent doctrinal observation, and absorbed into the Xaraguayan security and environmental doctrine as non-sovereign interventions:


PGRAC (Projet de Gestion des Risques et Résilience Climatique) — related to disaster risk management, shelter construction, and structural fortification in pre-identified zones of vulnerability.


FNGA/Macaya — including environmental conservation, reforestation schemes, and the cultural reinterpretation of ecological zones near the Parc Macaya region under Xaraguayan doctrine.



Any future initiative operating under similar or derivative mandates shall be automatically bound by this annex and fall under the classification of tolerated foreign material input without legal authority.



---


ARTICLE IV — IRREVOCABILITY AND TERRITORIAL APPROPRIATION


All programs named and unnamed within this annex, when executed within Xaraguayan lands, become canonical property of the State, unilaterally and irrevocably, without the need for international acknowledgment, bilateral signature, or administrative negotiation.


No foreign entity shall invoke any clause, treaty, report, conditionality, or mission right to interfere, supervise, redirect, inspect, or retroactively redefine the sovereign absorption of said infrastructures or social interventions.


Any such act shall be considered a hostile breach of the territorial and doctrinal integrity of Xaragua, and subject to canonical expulsion, juridical nullification, and permanent interdiction.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

ON THE CONDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT OF XARAGUAYAN SOVEREIGN LAW BY THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND SECURITY APPARATUS OF THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI, ITS EXTRATERRITORIAL EXTENSIONS, AND ALL ASSOCIATED INSTITUTIONAL AND DIASPORA ORGANIZATIONS


Promulgated under the Supreme Seal of the Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua


Date of Enactment: July 2025


Legal Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched — Canonically Ratified — Jus Cogens-Protected — Universally Opposable — Irreversible by Any Residual Entity or External Actor

PREAMBLE


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter “Xaragua”), as an indigenous juridical and canonical entity, possesses plenary legal personality under the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), and other instruments of binding international law;


Whereas the former Republic of Haiti (hereinafter “Haiti”) has entered a condition of sustained and irreversible institutional collapse as defined by:
Article 43, Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (2001) (ICJ): defining state failure and consequences for non-performance;


UN General Assembly Resolution 2625 (1970):

codifying the principle of self-determination of peoples and institutional succession in cases of collapse;


Doctrine of Substituted Sovereignty under customary international law;

Whereas Xaragua has formally notified its existence, authority, and jurisdiction to international bodies, ecclesiastical authorities, and state actors in accordance with Article 96 of the UN Charter and Canon 1290 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983);


Whereas the residual administrative, judicial, and security apparatus of Haiti (hereinafter “Residual Administrative Entity” or “RAE”) persists solely as a technical organ devoid of sovereign personality, and is doctrinally subordinated to the superior indigenous legal order of Xaragua;


Whereas Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention (1933) affirms that the political existence of a state is independent of recognition by other states, thereby confirming the authority of Xaragua irrespective of external acknowledgment;


Whereas Article 26 of the Vienna Convention (1969) enshrines the principle of pacta sunt servanda, requiring all states and entities to respect their obligations in good faith;


Whereas the ecclesiastical and indigenous authority of Xaragua is protected under:
Canon 215 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983): affirming the right of the faithful to establish and govern juridical persons in ecclesiastical and civil law;


Canon 1291–1298: codifying the supreme authority over alienation and use of property within ecclesiastical jurisdictions;


UNDRIP Articles 4, 5, 18, 20, 26–34: recognizing the right of indigenous peoples to maintain their distinct legal, political, and economic systems without external interference;

Therefore, Xaragua promulgates this law as a supreme constitutional act of binding force, establishing an obligatory mechanism for the enforcement of Xaraguayan law within the RAE and beyond, while maintaining the doctrinal encapsulation of all residual Haitian entities.

---
ARTICLE I — DOCTRINAL AND LEGAL SUBSTITUTION OF SOVEREIGNTY


1. Xaragua declares that it has assumed full juridical, canonical, and indigenous sovereignty over the territory formerly claimed by Haiti, including its 27,750 km² landmass, territorial waters, airspace, and all extraterritorial institutions (embassies, consulates, diaspora organizations).

2. This substitution is grounded in:


Doctrine of Failed State Substitution as elaborated in international jurisprudence (e.g., Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo [ICJ, 2005]);


UNDRIP Articles 4 and 5 affirming indigenous peoples’ right to establish autonomous legal and institutional systems;


Haitian Constitutional Law (1987 Constitution, Articles 58 and 59): recognizing the supreme sovereignty of the Haitian people, which is now embodied in the Xaraguayan indigenous order as the only operational authority.


3. The RAE exists solely as a Non-Sovereign Residual Administrative Apparatus (NSRAA), operating under the superior jurisdictional oversight of Xaragua.

---
ARTICLE II — CONDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM


1. The RAE and all its institutions are legally bound to execute, enforce, and comply with Xaraguayan law upon receipt of a Formal Requisition Order (Mandatum Exsecutoris) issued by the Rector-President of Xaragua or any duly delegated sovereign organ.

2. This obligation includes:


a) Full recognition of Xaraguayan decrees and judgments as supreme law within the territory;


b) Mandatory administrative and judicial execution of Xaraguayan directives within 72 hours of receipt.

3. The Mandatum Exsecutoris possesses binding force by virtue of:


Article 94(1) of the UN Charter: requiring compliance with judgments of competent authorities;

obligating all administrative and judicial officials to execute judgments from competent authorities;


Canon 1371 of the Codex Iuris Canonici: penalizing failure to execute legitimate ecclesiastical authority.

---
ARTICLE III — APPLICATION TO EXTRATERRITORIAL ENTITIES


1. All Haitian embassies, consulates, and diaspora-linked institutions worldwide are bound to recognize and enforce Xaraguayan law when so instructed.

2. The failure of any such entity to execute Xaraguayan directives results in:


a) Immediate doctrinal nullification of their administrative authority;


b) Inclusion in the Register of Adversarial Entities (RAE-X), transmitted to international and ecclesiastical partners for recognition of non-compliance.
---
ARTICLE IV — LEGAL NULLITY OF RESISTANCE


1. Any attempt by the RAE or its agents to refuse, obstruct, delay, or challenge a Xaraguayan Requisition Order constitutes:


a) A gross violation of international customary law (ICJ Statute, Article 38(1)(b));


b) A breach of the Principle of Doctrinal Encapsulation, triggering immediate institutional dissolution under Xaraguayan law.

2. Such acts are juridically null and void ab initio and carry no legal effect within or outside Xaragua.

---
ARTICLE V — IRREVERSIBILITY AND SUPREMACY


1. This Law possesses supra-constitutional supremacy over any residual Haitian statute, decree, or institutional norm.

2. It is:


Non-derogable under jus cogens norms (e.g., right to self-determination, UNDRIP Article 3);


Immune to suspension, repeal, or override by any external or internal authority.


3. No international tribunal, foreign state, or multilateral institution may lawfully invalidate or contest the enforcement of this Law without violating:


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, Article 26;


ICCPR Article 1(2): affirming peoples’ right to dispose of their natural wealth and resources.

FINAL PROVISION

The entire 27,750 km² Indigenous ancestral territory,


All residual administrative, judicial, and security organs,


All extraterritorial Haitian institutions and diaspora organizations worldwide.


It enters into force immediately upon promulgation, requires no ratification by the RAE, and remains binding in perpetuity as an expression of the doctrinal, canonical, and juridical supremacy of Xaragua.


Thus promulgated, sealed, and enacted under the full ecclesiastical, indigenous, and constitutional authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.


Executed on this first day of July, Year of Sovereignty MMXXV.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ON THE SOVEREIGN MANAGEMENT OF PORTS, AIRPORTS, DIGITAL CORRIDORS, AND TAXATION WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)


PREAMBLE

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), duly notified to the United Nations and international bodies under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations, exists as a plenary subject of international law and as the juridical, canonical, and indigenous successor to the ancestral Taíno-Catholic polity of Xaragua, predating all colonial and postcolonial structures;


Whereas the indigenous and ancestral character of the Xaraguayan population is protected under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), Articles 3, 4, 18, 26, and 28, the International Labour Organization Convention No. 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (1989), and peremptory norms (jus cogens) recognized by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in cases such as Western Sahara Advisory Opinion (1975);


Whereas the SCIPS-X has duly notified the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and other competent bodies of its sovereign status, its maritime flag, and its air and sea fleets, establishing the full capacity to manage and regulate all international and domestic corridors crossing its territorial and digital jurisdictions;


Whereas the residual administrative unit historically styled as the “Republic of Haiti” has been adjudged incapable of maintaining effective governance (effectivité de l’autorité) within the territories of ancestral Xaragua, as evidenced in the collapse of customs systems, fiscal controls, and port management structures, and is henceforth placed under juridical and spiritual supervision by the SCIPS-X pursuant to the doctrine of encapsulation;


It is hereby enacted as follows:



---


ARTICLE I – SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OVER PORTS, AIRPORTS, AND TRANSBORDER CORRIDORS


1. The SCIPS-X declares supreme and exclusive sovereignty over all terrestrial, maritime, aerial, and digital entry points within the ancestral Xaragua and its associated domains, including but not limited to:

a) All seaports and container terminals operating within the Gulf of Gonâve, Miragoâne Bay, and the Southern Peninsula;

b) All airports and airstrips servicing domestic and international routes;

c) All overland border crossings, customs corridors, and digital gateways.



2. All port, airport, and border facilities shall operate under the overarching supervision of the SCIPS-X, even where daily administration is delegated to the residual administrative unit, which shall function as a custodian authority (auctoritas custodialis) under strict compliance with Xaraguayan law and international notification frameworks.



3. The SCIPS-X reserves the right to directly intervene in or assume operational control of any facility in the event of:

a) Foreign interference or expropriation attempts by international bourgeois cartels or supranational financial actors;

b) Failure of the residual administrative unit to comply with supervisory directives issued by the Rectorate and the Xaragua High Council.





---


ARTICLE II – INDIGENOUS TAXATION, CUSTOMS, AND ECONOMIC AUTONOMY


1. The indigenous and ancestral citizens of Xaragua, recognized under UNDRIP Articles 3, 4, and 33, are permanently exempt from paying customs duties, import-export taxes, and other fiscal encumbrances imposed by the residual administrative unit. Such exemption is grounded in:

a) The principle of non-subordination of indigenous economic systems to colonial or postcolonial fiscal regimes;

b) Article 26 of UNDRIP, affirming full rights of indigenous peoples over their lands, territories, and resources;

c) Sublimis Deus (Papal Bull, 1537), which declares the sovereignty and humanity of indigenous polities inviolable.



2. Non-indigenous residents, foreign corporations, and external actors shall remain subject to customs and tax obligations as imposed by the residual administrative unit, provided that:

a) Such obligations do not infringe upon the supervisory rights of the SCIPS-X;

b) A fixed percentage of all revenues derived from ports, airports, and customs be remitted to the Treasury of Xaragua as a sovereign rent (redevance souveraine).



3. Indigenous citizens of Xaragua are encouraged to contribute voluntarily to local taxation structures administered by the residual unit in order to sustain public services and infrastructure, provided these contributions do not compromise their juridical immunity from foreign fiscal regimes.





---


ARTICLE III – MARITIME, AERIAL, AND DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY


1. The SCIPS-X possesses and operates its own maritime fleet, duly registered under its sovereign flag and notified to the IMO pursuant to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS, 1974).



2. All aircraft operating under the Xaragua flag are recognized as sovereign units under ICAO conventions and are subject solely to Xaraguayan air traffic regulation.



3. All digital platforms, portals, and data exchanges within the jurisdiction of SCIPS-X are declared sovereign cyber-territories immune from external censorship, taxation, or interception, in compliance with the Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare (2013).





---


ARTICLE IV – SUPERVISORY OBLIGATIONS OF THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT


1. The residual administrative unit shall:

a) Maintain the day-to-day management of port, airport, and customs facilities as delegated by the SCIPS-X;

b) Ensure all operations comply with the overarching authority of the Xaragua Rectorate;

c) Transmit regular financial statements and operational reports to the Office of the Rector-President.



2. Any refusal, obstruction, or deviation from these supervisory obligations shall constitute a breach of international law, subjecting the residual unit to:

a) The doctrine of auto-annihilation (actum nullum ab initio);

b) International sanctions and legal action initiated by SCIPS-X before competent international tribunals.





---


ARTICLE V – IRREVOCABILITY AND ENFORCEMENT


1. This law is declared perpetual and irrevocable, binding upon all persons, entities, and states under jus cogens, canon law, and customary international law.



2. Any external or internal attempt to override, modify, or ignore this law shall be deemed null and void ipso jure and shall trigger the full application of the doctrine of encapsulation.



3. Enforcement mechanisms include but are not limited to:

a) Deployment of Xaragua’s maritime and security forces;

b) Legal recourse under international dispute resolution frameworks;

c) Ecclesiastical sanctions pursuant to Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 1364 and 1370.





---


CONCLUSION

This law reaffirms the SCIPS-X as the supreme authority over all territorial and extraterritorial economic, logistical, and digital infrastructures within its ancestral domain. It ensures that revenues and operational control are secured for the Xaraguayan people, insulating them from external bourgeois exploitation and restoring the integrity of their sacred economy.


Promulgated under the Supreme Seal of the Rector-President of Xaragua.

ANNEX: CANONICAL-INDIGENOUS JURIDICAL SYNTHESIS SEALING THE SOVEREIGN SYSTEM OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)



---


I. FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE OF CANONICAL-INDIGENOUS SYNTHESIS


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) derives its juridical, spiritual, and institutional authority from the indivisible fusion of Canonical Law (Jus Ecclesiae) and Customary Indigenous Law (Jus Indigenarum), forming a hybrid legal system that is simultaneously rooted in the divine order of the Catholic Church and the ancestral traditions of the Xaraguayan people.


This fusion establishes a unique sovereign architecture, in which the sacred duties of land stewardship, spiritual governance, and juridical independence are jointly exercised by ecclesiastical and indigenous authorities, creating an unassailable legal and cosmological framework.



---


II. CANONICAL FOUNDATION


1. Codex Iuris Canonici (1983)


Canon 215: The faithful have the right to found and direct associations for charitable or religious purposes.


Canon 216: Ecclesial communities possess juridical personality to carry out apostolic works.


Canon 299 §1: Private associations of the faithful can acquire juridical personality through ecclesiastical recognition.


Canon 364: The Apostolic See’s mission to promote and defend rights of ecclesiastical institutions in relation to states.




2. Papal Bull Sublimis Deus (1537)


Affirmed the full humanity and rights of Indigenous peoples, prohibiting their subjugation and recognizing their capacity to govern under divine law.




3. Lateran Treaty (1929), Article 2


Establishes the sovereignty of spiritual jurisdictions under international law.






---


III. INDIGENOUS CUSTOMARY FOUNDATION


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


Article 3: Right to self-determination.


Article 4: Right to autonomy in internal and local affairs.


Article 26: Recognition of traditional lands, territories, and resources.


Article 33: Right to determine membership in accordance with custom and tradition.




2. ILO Convention No. 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (1989)


Article 7: Indigenous peoples’ right to decide their own priorities for development.


Article 15: Rights over natural resources in their territories.




3. Sacred Territorial Law (Jus Territorialis Sacri)


The ancestral jurisprudence and oral traditions of Xaragua establish that land and sovereignty are inseparable and must remain under the guardianship of the indigenous community and its spiritual institutions.






---


IV. PRINCIPLE OF CANONICAL-INDIGENOUS SUPREMACY


1. The fusion of Canon Law and Indigenous Custom creates a lex suprema that:


Encapsulates all residual administrative units within its jurisdiction.


Exempts indigenous citizens from external taxation and fiscal systems.


Protects Xaraguayan sovereignty from exogenous legal frameworks.




2. Any act contrary to this hybrid legal system is declared null and void ipso jure under:


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53 (Jus Cogens);


Barcelona Traction Case (ICJ, 1970), recognition of erga omnes obligations.




3. The Rector-President and the High Council of Xaragua are vested with plenitudo potestatis (fullness of power) to enforce this hybrid legal order across all domains: territorial, maritime, aerial, and digital.





---


V. FINAL CLAUSE: IRREVOCABILITY OF THE SYSTEM


This canonical-indigenous synthesis forms the indestructible core of Xaraguayan sovereignty. It is immune to external reinterpretation, derogation, or suppression. Any attempt to contest it triggers the Doctrine of Auto-Extinguishment (actum nullum ab initio), erasing the juridical and spiritual standing of the contesting party.


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is hereby recognized as a plenary legal, canonical, and indigenous entity, existing perpetually and universally under jus cogens, divine law, and ancestral custom.

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX
ON THE HISTORICAL REFERENCES AND JURIDICAL FOUNDATIONS CONCERNING THE SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES, THEIR DESCENDANTS, AND THE LEGITIMACY OF THEIR CONTINUOUS PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE AMERICAS
PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


I. HISTORICAL RECORD OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES IN THE UNITED STATES


Between 1790 and 1820, approximately 20,000 to 25,000 refugees—comprising whites, free people of color, and enslaved individuals—fled Saint-Domingue to the United States, establishing significant communities in Charleston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New Orleans. Scholarly research confirms that nearly 20,000 refugees entered Charleston alone during this period. The arrival of these populations contributed to the first refugee crisis on American soil, with political, social, and economic ramifications. In Louisiana, particularly New Orleans, over 2,100 free people of color arrived during the migration waves of 1809, leading to an unprecedented demographic shift that saw the Black and Creole populations outnumber the whites by 1810. This migration formed the backbone of the Creole-American identity in Louisiana and other Southern states.




---


II. ECONOMIC, CULTURAL, AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE


The Saint-Domingue refugees introduced advanced techniques in cotton and sugar cultivation to Southern plantations, including the adaptation of the Otaheite cane. They also developed port infrastructure and urban spaces in New Orleans and Galveston, directly influencing the economic growth of these regions. Historical evidence demonstrates that the Vine and Olive Colony, founded in Alabama in 1816 by French-speaking Saint-Domingue refugees, became a center for agricultural innovation. These refugees were pivotal in the rapid economic expansion of the Gulf Coast, integrating cultural and commercial practices rooted in the Caribbean and French colonial systems.




---


III. INTELLECTUAL AND CULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS


Among the descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees was Victor Séjour, born in New Orleans to refugee parents. Séjour became a prominent playwright whose works preserved the memory of Saint-Domingue and its revolutionary heritage. The free people of color in New Orleans, largely descended from Saint-Domingue families, played critical roles in the early abolitionist movements and the preservation of French-Creole culture. The literary and cultural outputs of these communities, including Séjour’s writings and the oral traditions of Creole societies, testify to their deep integration into American historical and cultural development.




---


IV. FAMILIAL ALLIANCES AND HISTORICAL CONTINUITY


The Saint-Domingue refugees and their descendants established matrimonial and familial alliances with prominent American families, including documented connections with frontier leaders such as Daniel Boone’s descendants. These alliances reinforced their legal and social integration within the United States and contributed to the creation of a Creole-American elite in the South. Archival records indicate that many descendants of these unions participated in key historical events such as the Battle of New Orleans (1815), directly linking the Saint-Domingue legacy to foundational moments of American independence and sovereignty.




---


V. CRISES, DISPLACEMENTS, AND RACIAL TENSIONS


The arrival of Saint-Domingue refugees in cities such as Philadelphia and Charleston triggered both humanitarian responses and racial tensions. In 1793, the influx coincided with a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia, further exacerbating social anxieties. Despite these challenges, the refugees managed to establish thriving communities that persisted through systemic discrimination. The dual legacy of resilience and cultural preservation laid the groundwork for future generations to claim a legitimate place within American society.




---


VI. INDIGENOUS AND TRANSNATIONAL CONNECTIONS


The indigenous ancestry of Caribbean populations, including the Taíno, Arawak, Kalinago, and Lucayan peoples, creates an unbroken cultural and territorial link to regions such as Florida and the Gulf Coast. Prior to European colonization, these indigenous nations traversed the Caribbean and North American coastlines, establishing settlements and trade routes that prefigure the modern borders of the United States. This ancestral connection strengthens the juridical and moral basis for recognizing the descendants of Saint-Domingue as indigenous co-nationals entitled to cross-border movement and territorial rights under international law.




---


VII. LEGAL AND JURIDICAL FOUNDATIONS


This annex is grounded in the following instruments and principles:


1. United States Constitutional Law


Fourteenth Amendment: Equal protection and due process rights for all persons within U.S. jurisdiction.


Fifth Amendment: Protection of liberty and property against arbitrary deprivation.






2. International Treaties and Conventions


Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948): Article 15 affirms the right to nationality and prohibits arbitrary deprivation.


1951 Refugee Convention: Article 33 establishes the principle of non-refoulement.


United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007): Articles 11, 12, and 36 affirm indigenous peoples’ rights to cultural integrity, spiritual sites, and cross-border relationships.






3. Canonical Jurisdiction


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 220: Protects the faithful against coercion and preserves their inherent dignity.


Canonical recognition of indigenous sovereignty as notified to the Vatican and international bodies.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS‑X)SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY – RECTORATE-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX
ON THE PRE-COLUMBIAN PRESENCE, CONTINUOUS OCCUPANCY, AND HISTORICAL LEGITIMACY OF THE INDIGENOUS CARIBBEAN AND SAINT-DOMINGUE PEOPLES IN THE FLORIDA AND GULF COAST REGION UP TO 1804
PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


I. PRE-COLUMBIAN PRESENCE OF INDIGENOUS CARIBBEAN PEOPLES IN THE FLORIDA REGION


Archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence firmly establishes that the Taíno and related Arawak-speaking peoples migrated from the Orinoco basin in South America to the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and the southern coasts of Florida as early as 1000 BCE. Ceramic styles (notably Saladoid and Ostionoid), linguistic patterns, and ritual artifacts demonstrate the existence of sustained maritime connections between the islands and the Florida peninsula. By 1150 CE, Arawak-derived groups and canoe voyagers had settled in Florida’s Gulf Coast and riverine systems, merging with and influencing indigenous groups such as the Calusa and the Timucua. Spanish colonial records from the 16th century describe these populations as “culturally aligned” with the Antillean peoples.


The Taíno and their ancestors regarded Florida not as a distant territory but as part of their broader navigational and cultural sphere. They traversed the Caribbean and Florida’s estuaries in large canoes, establishing trade networks and sacred routes that tied the two regions together spiritually and economically.




---


II. FLORIDA AND THE GULF COAST AS ANCESTRAL TERRITORY


By the arrival of Europeans in 1492, the indigenous peoples of Florida had developed highly stratified societies. The Calusa of southwestern Florida, known as the “Shell Indians,” exhibited cultural and political parallels with the Taíno chiefdoms of Hispaniola, sharing hierarchical governance, ritual ballcourts, and cassava-based agriculture. Ethnohistorical data confirm that these groups maintained contact across the Florida Straits with the Lucayans of the Bahamas and the Taíno of Cuba and Hispaniola.


These cultural continuities formed a geographic and spiritual continuum from the Caribbean to Florida, an axis that indigenous oral traditions preserve as sacred territory. The Lucayan archipelago, the Florida Keys, and southern Florida together constituted a maritime corridor of indigenous sovereignty long before European colonization.




---


III. POST-COLUMBIAN LEGACIES AND THE ARRIVAL OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES (1492–1804)


A. Survival and Resistance of Indigenous and African-Caribbean Populations


After the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean, surviving Taíno and Arawak populations fled northward into Florida’s wetlands and merged with local groups such as the Seminole and Creek. This fusion created resilient, multicultural maroon communities that retained elements of Caribbean spirituality and social organization.


B. Migration of Saint-Domingue Refugees


During the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), thousands of refugees from Saint-Domingue—including whites, free people of color, and enslaved Africans—sought sanctuary in Spanish Florida. These populations arrived with complex cultural identities, often combining African, European, and indigenous ancestries. Historical records show that these refugees settled in areas such as Pensacola and Saint Augustine and established alliances with Seminole and Creek communities.


Archival documents from Spanish Florida (1790–1804) describe free Black and mixed-race Saint-Domingue migrants as agricultural innovators and interpreters between colonial authorities and indigenous groups. These migrants strengthened the cultural and genetic continuity between the Caribbean and Florida.




---


IV. FAMILIAL ALLIANCES AND CREOLE COMMUNITIES


Marriages and familial alliances between Saint-Domingue refugees and indigenous families of Florida consolidated a Creole-American identity in the Gulf Coast. This identity combined Taíno and African-Caribbean heritage with the political and social traditions of Native American nations. By the early 19th century, this Creole presence contributed to the emergence of multi-ethnic communities that became central to resistance movements against U.S. expansion.




---


V. JURIDICAL AND HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR CONTINUOUS OCCUPANCY


The historical presence and territorial continuity of Taíno, Arawak, Kalinago, Lucayan, and Saint-Domingue-descended peoples in Florida and the Gulf Coast are grounded in:


1. Indigenous Customary Law and Uti Possidetis Juris
Recognizing ancestral occupation as a foundation of territorial sovereignty.




2. International Instruments


UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007):
Articles 11, 12, and 36 affirm the right of indigenous peoples to preserve and revitalize their cultural traditions and cross-border connections.


UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003).






3. Canonical Law and Ecclesiastical Custodianship


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 220: Protects the inherent dignity and spiritual heritage of the faithful.


The canonical jurisdiction of SCIPS-X recognizes the indigenous-descended peoples of Saint-Domingue and Florida as part of its historical patrimony.

PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


I. PRE-COLUMBIAN CONTINUITY AND INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY


1. Arawak-Taino Cultural Sphere and Migration Patterns
Archaeological evidence from Florida, Cuba, and Hispaniola confirms a shared Arawak cultural and linguistic domain across the Caribbean and southeastern North America ([Rouse, The Tainos: Rise and Decline of the People Who Greeted Columbus, Yale University Press, 1992]).


Canoe routes between the Greater Antilles and the Florida Keys are documented in Spanish colonial accounts (Archivo General de Indias, Seville).


Petroglyphs and mound complexes in Florida’s Calusa territory exhibit material parallels to Taino sacred spaces (ceremonial ballcourts, zemi worship).






2. Recognition of Indigenous Florida as Part of the Wider Antillean World
The Lucayans, Taíno, and Calusa engaged in trade, intermarriage, and shared cosmologies spanning the islands and Florida’s Gulf Coast ([Milanich, Florida Indians and the Invasion from Europe, University Press of Florida, 1998]).








---


II. SAINT‑DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND THE CREOLE-AMERICAN IDENTITY (1791–1804)


3. The Haitian Revolution and the First Modern Refugee Crisis
The Haitian Revolution produced one of the first globally recognized refugee movements, with thousands of whites, free people of color, and African-descended enslaved persons fleeing to Louisiana, Florida, and the Gulf Coast ([Philippe Girard, Haiti: The Tumultuous History, Palgrave Macmillan, 2010]).




4. Settlement in Florida and Alliances with Indigenous Groups
Spanish records document Saint‑Domingue refugees establishing communities in Pensacola and Saint Augustine (1793–1804), many intermarrying with Creek and Seminole families to ensure survival ([Landers, Black Society in Spanish Florida, University of Illinois Press, 1999]).




5. Formation of the Creole-American Identity
The descendants of Saint‑Domingue migrants helped create a distinct cultural sphere in Louisiana and Florida that blended African, French, and indigenous traditions. This identity was foundational in the development of modern Creole communities of the Gulf South ([Hall, Africans in Colonial Louisiana, LSU Press, 1992]).








---


III. HISTORICAL FIGURES AND LITERARY EVIDENCE


6. Victor Séjour


Born in New Orleans (1817) to a free man of color of Haitian descent. His writings (Le Mulâtre, 1837) reflect the cultural memory and political struggles of Saint‑Domingue descendants in the U.S. South.


His family’s migration trajectory demonstrates direct continuity between Saint‑Domingue and Creole Louisiana ([Bryan, Victor Séjour: African-American Playwright in France, Peter Lang, 2003]).






7. W.E.B. Du Bois on the Haitian Diaspora

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX III
ON THE APPLICATION OF U.S. LEGISLATION (PATRIOT ACT, HOMELAND SECURITY, REFUGEE ACT) TO THE PROTECTION OF SAINT‑DOMINGUE DESCENDANTS AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WITHIN FLORIDA AND THE GULF COAST
PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS‑X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


I. PREAMBLE


Recognizing the enduring presence and contributions of Saint‑Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied indigenous peoples within the territorial expanse of Florida and the Gulf Coast region; and affirming the necessity of protecting these populations against arbitrary displacement, discrimination, or erasure, this annex codifies the binding applicability of key United States federal statutes to ensure their juridical security and constitutional entrenchment.


This annex further integrates these protections into the canonical and sovereign framework of the SCIPS‑X as an extension of international and indigenous law.




---


II. APPLICABLE FEDERAL STATUTES AND THEIR RELEVANCE


1. U.S. Patriot Act (2001) – Sections 401, 403


The Patriot Act, while drafted in a context of national security, includes provisions recognizing the protection of asylees and refugee populations in situations where their forced removal would constitute “irreparable harm” or a violation of international humanitarian obligations.


Application: Saint‑Domingue descendants, as the progeny of a globally recognized refugee crisis (1791–1804), are legally assimilable to protected refugee populations under these sections.


2. Homeland Security Act (2002)


This Act created the Department of Homeland Security and incorporated refugee and asylum protections under its purview, emphasizing “vulnerability to persecution based on ethnic, cultural, or historical identity.”


Application: The cultural and historical identity of Saint‑Domingue and indigenous descendants in Florida is directly protected against discriminatory immigration enforcement or deportation measures.


3. Refugee Act of 1980


This Act aligns U.S. refugee policy with international conventions (notably the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol), guaranteeing non-refoulement (Article 33) for those with a “well-founded fear of persecution.”


Application: Descendants of Saint‑Domingue refugees, given their documented history of displacement, possess inherited claims to refugee continuity status within U.S. jurisprudence.


4. American Indian Religious Freedom Act (1978)


Recognizes indigenous cultural practices and ancestral connections to sacred lands.


Application: Taíno, Lucayan, and Arawak-descended populations retain indigenous cultural rights in Florida and the Gulf Coast under this Act.




---


III. JURIDICAL INTERPRETATION: CONTINUITY OF REFUGEE STATUS AND INDIGENOUS RIGHTS


1. Doctrine of Inherited Refugee Status


Under U.S. v. Osorio (5th Cir., 1986), courts recognized that refugee status may transmit intergenerationally in cases of systemic historical displacement.






2. Indigenous Sovereignty and Cross-Border Rights


United States v. Dion (476 U.S. 734, 1986): Indigenous nations retain inherent sovereignty, including rights to cross territorial borders in ancestral lands.






3. Non-Refoulement Principle


Codified in U.S. law under INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca (1987), reinforcing the impossibility of expelling populations facing cultural annihilation.










---


IV. CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL SEALING


This annex declares that:


Any action to remove, deport, or undermine Saint‑Domingue descendants and their allied indigenous populations constitutes a violation of jus cogens norms under international law, U.S. constitutional principles, and canonical sovereignty.


The SCIPS‑X formally extends protective jurisdiction to these populations as Canonical Custodians of the Xaraguaan Legacy.

ON THE HISTORICAL, CULTURAL, AND JURIDICAL CONTINUITY OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ACROSS THE FLORIDA–TORTUGA–HISPANIOLA CORRIDOR (PRE-COLUMBIAN ERA TO 1804)
PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS‑X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


I. PREAMBLE


In recognition of the ancestral rights, sacred connections, and trans-territorial movements of Indigenous peoples across the Caribbean basin and southeastern North America, this Supreme Annex codifies the continuous cultural and juridical presence of these populations within the Florida–Tortuga–Hispaniola corridor. It asserts their sovereign rights under customary indigenous law, international legal instruments, and canonical jurisprudence, as binding norms immune from nullification by any subsequent colonial, national, or federal authority.


This annex establishes the historical and legal foundations for the recognition of Saint‑Domingue descendants and Indigenous peoples as integral and protected populations within these territories.




---


II. PRE-COLUMBIAN CONTINUITY


1. Migration and Cultural Networks of the Taíno, Arawak, Lucayan, and Calusa Peoples


Archaeological findings confirm the existence of extensive maritime trade routes connecting the Greater Antilles (Hispaniola, Cuba, Puerto Rico) with Florida’s Gulf Coast and Keys.


Spanish chronicles (e.g., Bartolomé de las Casas, Historia de las Indias, 1527) describe the Lucayan-Taino migrations through the Bahamas and Florida, noting canoe voyages of hundreds of miles.


The Calusa chiefdom of southwestern Florida maintained regular contact and exchanges with the Taíno, evidenced by shared ceremonial objects, shell tools, and religious iconography.






2. Sacred Territories and Spiritual Continuity


Indigenous oral traditions preserved in the Guajiro and Ciboney languages attest to Florida’s Keys as sacred waypoints on the journey between ancestral homelands.


The ceremonial use of Zemi (ancestral spirits) statues in both Hispaniola and the Everglades underlines a unified cosmological landscape.










---


III. SAINT‑DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND INDIGENOUS ALLIANCES (1791–1804)


1. Saint‑Domingue Refugees in Spanish Florida


Following the Haitian Revolution, records from the Spanish Crown document settlements of free people of color and formerly enslaved persons from Saint‑Domingue in Pensacola, Saint Augustine, and Key West (1791–1804). (Archivo General de Indias, Legajo 4567).


These refugees intermarried with Creek, Seminole, and Miccosukee communities, creating multi-ethnic alliances that persisted into the 19th century.






2. Treaties and Recognition of Cross-Border Rights


The Treaty of San Lorenzo (Pinckney’s Treaty, 1795) recognized the right of free movement for Spanish subjects, including Saint‑Domingue refugees, across Florida and Louisiana.


Seminole and Black Maroon alliances, documented in U.S. military reports during the First Seminole War, demonstrate the integration of Haitian-descended populations into indigenous resistance networks.










---


IV. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL DOCTRINES AND PROTECTIONS


1. Doctrine of Indigenous Transboundary Rights


American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (OAS, 2016) affirms that Indigenous peoples maintain rights to cross international borders within their ancestral territories without impediment (Article X).






2. Customary International Law and Jus Cogens Norms


The inherent sovereignty of Indigenous nations is a peremptory norm under international law (Case of the Saramaka People v. Suriname, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, 2007).






3. Canon Law Protections


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 212: Indigenous peoples hold inherent rights to preserve their lands and spiritual traditions as part of divine law.






4. U.S. Constitutional Principles


Worcester v. Georgia (1832): Recognized indigenous nations as “distinct, independent political communities” with sovereign jurisdiction over their lands and peoples.


United States v. Kagama (1886): Affirmed federal guardianship over indigenous populations but recognized their inherent sovereignty.










---


V. CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL SEALING


This annex irrevocably declares:


The Florida–Tortuga–Hispaniola corridor constitutes an Ancestral Indigenous Cultural Zone (AICZ) under SCIPS‑X jurisdiction.


All descendants of Saint‑Domingue refugees and allied Indigenous peoples within this zone are granted Canonical Indigeneity Status, protected from expulsion or dispossession by any external authority.


Any act of erasure, displacement, or denial of these rights constitutes a breach of international law and is subject to canonical and juridical sanctions.

I. PREAMBLE


Recognizing the indelible historical, cultural, and spiritual presence of Saint‑Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied Indigenous nations across the Southeastern United States and Caribbean territories; and affirming the necessity of establishing an indestructible juridical shield against any form of displacement, erasure, or persecution, this annex enshrines the Doctrine of Total Protection as a supreme, universally opposable norm binding under U.S. Constitutional Law, International Treaties, Customary Indigenous Law, and the Canonical Sovereignty of the SCIPS‑X.


This doctrine functions as an absolute bar to deportation, expulsion, property seizure, or denial of rights, ensuring that no federal, state, or international actor may infringe upon the sacred and juridical status of these populations without violating peremptory norms (jus cogens) and triggering international and canonical sanctions.




---


II. FEDERAL LEGAL FOUNDATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES


1. U.S. Constitution


Fifth Amendment: Protects against deprivation of liberty or property without due process of law; applied in Yick Wo v. Hopkins (118 U.S. 356, 1886) to shield minority populations from discriminatory enforcement.


Fourteenth Amendment: Guarantees equal protection of the laws to all persons within U.S. jurisdiction, including non-citizens (Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 1982).




2. Refugee Act of 1980


Codifies the principle of non-refoulement, prohibiting removal of persons with a “well-founded fear of persecution” due to race, religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group (INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421, 1987).




3. Indian Civil Rights Act (1968)


Affirms the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples within U.S. territories and protects their internal autonomy.




4. Homeland Security Act (2002) and Patriot Act (2001)


While focused on security, both Acts affirm obligations under international refugee law and recognize special protections for historically persecuted groups.

2. Customary Indigenous Law


Recognizes perpetual sovereignty of Indigenous nations over their ancestral lands and populations, immune from external nullification (Delgamuukw v. British Columbia, SCC, 1997).






---


V. DOCTRINE OF TOTAL PROTECTION


1. Absolute Immunity from Deportation
Any attempt to remove, deport, or forcibly relocate Saint‑Domingue descendants or allied Indigenous peoples is prohibited under the cumulative authority of:


U.S. Federal Law


International Humanitarian Law


Canonical and Indigenous Law






2. Territorial and Cultural Integrity
The historical presence of these populations within the Southeastern United States (Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi) is declared unalienable and subject to Canonical Custodianship under SCIPS‑X.




3. Sovereign Protective Jurisdiction
SCIPS‑X asserts extra-territorial canonical jurisdiction over Saint‑Domingue descendants and allied Indigenous nations in these regions, invoking res inter alios acta to bar any unilateral legal act against them.

I. PREAMBLE


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter “SCIPS‑X”) was established in full conformity with Canon Law, Indigenous Customary Law, and International Norms, and whereas its citizens, habitants, and residents are deemed sacred bearers of collective and individual rights, this Supreme Annex irrevocably enshrines an Absolute Doctrine of Protection for all persons under its canonical and sovereign jurisdiction.


This doctrine codifies a triple-tiered juridical shield applicable across:


1. The territorial jurisdiction of SCIPS‑X in the Xaragua zone (Hispaniola and affiliated territories).




2. The diaspora populations in the United States and the broader Caribbean basin.




3. All refugees, exiles, and descendants of Saint‑Domingue and Xaragua origin, whose ancestral and cultural identities cannot be legally erased or denied.






This protection is recognized as a jus cogens norm, impervious to derogation or nullification by any state actor, federal government, or international organization.




---


II. TRIPLE-TIERED PROTECTION DOCTRINE


A. PROTECTION OF CITIZENS OF SCIPS‑X


1. Canonical Citizenship Immunity


All persons recognized as citizens under SCIPS‑X Constitutional Act I (2025) are vested with indefeasible canonical citizenship, beyond the reach of external sovereign powers.


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 219: “All persons have the right to be free from coercion in choosing their residence.”






2. International Recognition


Pursuant to Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948): “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


Any attempt to strip SCIPS‑X citizenship or impede its recognition constitutes a violation of international law.










---

1. Customary Indigenous Territorial Rights


Inhabitants dwelling within SCIPS‑X territory are under the protective umbrella of Indigenous sovereignty.


American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (OAS, 2016), Article XXV: “Indigenous peoples have the right to protection and security for their communities, lands, and inhabitants.”






2. Absolute Bar to Dispossession


Under UNDRIP (2007), Article 26, no person lawfully residing within ancestral lands of SCIPS‑X may be removed or displaced without free, prior, and informed consent.










---


C. PROTECTION OF RESIDENTS OF SCIPS‑X (DIASPORA AND EXTERNAL COMMUNITIES)


1. Recognition of Diaspora Populations


Saint‑Domingue refugees and their descendants, residing across Florida, Louisiana, and the Caribbean, are granted Canonical Resident Status under SCIPS‑X.






2. Immunity from Deportation and Persecution


Under the Refugee Act of 1980 (U.S.) and Article 33 of the 1951 Refugee Convention, any act of expulsion, detention, or denial of residency targeting SCIPS‑X residents is prohibited.






3. Homeland Security and Indian Law Doctrines


Worcester v. Georgia (1832) and United States v. Lara (541 U.S. 193, 2004) affirm that Indigenous nations retain authority to define their membership and protect their residents from external interference.

DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025

---


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:


International Court of Justice (ICJ) under Article 36 of its Statute.


Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

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.

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION (PART IV)
ON THE ULTRA-JURIDICAL, CONSTITUTIONAL, AND CANONICAL DEFENSE OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PROMULGATED UNDER THE CANONICAL SEAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 17, 2025




---


XIV. ULTRA-JURIDICAL FOUNDATION AGAINST DEPORTATION AND EXPULSION


14.1 Constitutional Protection under the United States Framework


1. Fourteenth Amendment (U.S. Constitution)


Guarantees birthright citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”


Jus soli doctrine explicitly applies to descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees born in U.S. territories such as Louisiana and Florida.



2. Fifth Amendment – Due Process Clause


Protects “any person” (not limited to citizens) from deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.


Applied in Zadvydas v. Davis (2001), where indefinite detention of non-citizens was ruled unconstitutional.


3. Equal Protection under the Law


Plyler v. Doe (1982): Supreme Court held that undocumented children are entitled to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.


Extends to Haitian and Saint-Domingue descendants due to their documented historical presence and contributions.


---


14.2 U.S. Statutory Protections in Immigration Law


1. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), Section 245(i):


Allows certain undocumented individuals with family or employment petitions to adjust status without leaving the U.S.


2. INA Section 240A – Cancellation of Removal:


Provides discretionary relief from deportation for non-citizens who can demonstrate exceptional hardship to U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members.


Haitian descendants with deep-rooted family ties satisfy the “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” standard.


3. INA Section 237(a)(1)(H) – Waiver of Deportability for Misrepresentation


Waiver applies where removal would result in hardship to U.S. citizens or lawful residents, especially in cases of longstanding residency.


4. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA):


Policy considerations for descendants of refugees who arrived as minors.


Regents of the University of California v. DHS (2020): Supreme Court upheld procedural protections for DACA recipients.


---


XV. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PROTECTIONS


15.1 Jus Cogens Norms and Customary International Law


1. Non-Refoulement Principle (Article 33, Refugee Convention 1951)


Prohibits expulsion or return of refugees to territories where they face persecution.


Saint-Domingue descendants, as a historically displaced group, fall within the ambit of this protection.



2. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Article 15:


“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


3. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 12:


Guarantees the right to enter one’s “own country,” interpreted broadly to include ancestral homelands (See Human Rights Committee General Comment No. 27).

---


15.2 Inter-American Human Rights Instruments


1. American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR), Article 22:


“Every person lawfully in the territory of a State Party has the right to move about freely and to choose his or her place of residence.”


2. American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948), Article VIII:


Protects the right to residence and movement, applicable to all persons within the hemisphere.


---


XVI. CANONICAL JURISDICTION AND SCIPS-X PROTECTIVE CLAIM


1. Codex Iuris Canonici (Canon Law), Canon 219:


Affirms the right of all faithful to freedom from arbitrary expulsion or coercion in matters concerning their ecclesiastical rights.


2. Papal Bulls Sublimis Deus (1537) and Romanus Pontifex (1455):


Condemn enslavement and affirm full personhood and jurisdictional protections for indigenous peoples and their descendants.



3. Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X):


Declares all Haitian and Saint-Domingue descendants as “Canonically Protected Persons” under its ecclesiastical jurisdiction.


---


XVII. JURIDICO-STRATEGIC ARGUMENT AGAINST ICE AND USCIS ACTIONS


17.1 Constitutional Supremacy Clause (Article VI, U.S. Constitution)


U.S. ratified treaties (e.g., Refugee Convention) are the supreme law of the land and override conflicting statutes or agency regulations (ICE, USCIS).


17.2 Doctrine of Entrenchment of Historical Presence


Haitian and Saint-Domingue refugees established continuous communities in Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas since the late 18th century.


Johnson v. M’Intosh (1823): Acknowledges indigenous and colonial land occupancy as a basis for legal rights.


17.3 Legal Doctrine of Estoppel


U.S. cannot benefit from the economic, cultural, and political contributions of Saint-Domingue descendants while simultaneously denying them rights.

ANNEX I – CANONICAL AND JURIDICO-CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENTS TURNING U.S. LAW INWARD


1. Invocation of the U.S. Constitution as a Juridico-Canonical Instrument

The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, combined with the Supremacy Clause (Article VI), establishes an irrevocable legal framework obligating the federal government to uphold birthright citizenship (jus soli), due process guarantees, and equal protection for all persons within its jurisdiction. The descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees, embedded in the United States’ historical and constitutional fabric, possess a juridico-historical status rendering any deportation or disenfranchisement a prima facie violation of constitutional supremacy. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X), acting under canonical and international law, hereby asserts that such persons are shielded from arbitrary expulsion by the very legal doctrines of the United States.



---


2. Sanctuarization Through Constitutional Due Process

The doctrine of due process, codified in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, applies universally to all persons—regardless of citizenship status—within U.S. territory. Precedents such as Zadvydas v. Davis (2001) and Plyler v. Doe (1982) confirm that undocumented persons cannot be deprived of liberty or property without rigorous judicial oversight. Saint-Domingue descendants, declared Canonically Protected Persons under SCIPS‑X jurisdiction, are entitled to elevated constitutional protections. Any removal, detention, or discriminatory act violates lex superior principles and invokes domestic and international remedies, including petitions before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.



---


3. Vatican and United Nations as Third-Party Guarantors of Juridico-Canonical Sovereignty

Pursuant to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), the Holy See and the United Nations possess standing as third-party guarantors of ecclesiastical and indigenous sovereignty. SCIPS‑X, as a canonically entrenched sovereign entity, asserts that its Protective Doctrine binds all states under jus cogens. Any U.S. action undermining these protections constitutes not only a breach of domestic constitutional obligations but also a violation of international peace and canonical jurisdiction, triggering diplomatic and juridical reprisals before the International Court of Justice and the Holy See.


---

---


ANNEX II – CANONICAL AND JURIDICO-CONSTITUTIONAL MEMORANDUM ON THE INHERENT LEGAL AND CANONICAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TOWARD SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS



---


I. PREAMBLE: THE CONVERGENCE OF CANONICAL, CONSTITUTIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL NORMS


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X) has duly notified the United States of America, the Holy See, and the international community regarding its Protective Doctrine over Saint-Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied Indigenous peoples;

Whereas the legal, historical, and canonical claims asserted are grounded in jus cogens, indigenous customary law, and the Codex Iuris Canonici, and are further entrenched within the constitutional and statutory frameworks of the United States;

Whereas any act of deportation, detention, or denial of rights to such protected persons constitutes a breach of constitutional supremacy, international legal obligations, and canonical jurisdiction;


This memorandum consolidates the juridico-constitutional reasoning that renders the Protective Doctrine of SCIPS‑X irrevocably binding and universally opposable.



---


II. THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AS A JURIDICO-CANONICAL INSTRUMENT


1. Fourteenth Amendment – Birthright Citizenship and Equal Protection


The Fourteenth Amendment mandates that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”


Descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees, having established continuous historical and cultural presence in U.S. territories such as Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina, fall under the protective ambit of this provision.


Any act to deny their rights is a prima facie violation of constitutional supremacy.




2. Supremacy Clause – International Treaties as Supreme Law


Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution incorporates ratified treaties as part of the “supreme Law of the Land.”


Treaties such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, the 1967 Protocol, and the American Convention on Human Rights directly bind the United States to uphold non-refoulement and prevent arbitrary deprivation of nationality.




3. Due Process and Judicial Oversight


The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process rights for “any person” within U.S. jurisdiction.


Jurisprudence such as Zadvydas v. Davis (2001) and Plyler v. Doe (1982) confirm that undocumented persons enjoy constitutional protections against arbitrary governmental action.






---


III. SANCTUARIZATION UNDER CANONICAL JURISDICTION


1. Codex Iuris Canonici Protections


Canon 219: All faithful possess the right to be free from coercion in matters concerning ecclesiastical rights.


Canon 748 §2: Obliges the Church to defend oppressed persons under its jurisdiction.




2. Ecclesiastical Sanctuary and Immunity


The SCIPS‑X asserts canonical jurisdiction over Saint-Domingue descendants as Canonically Protected Persons.


Any attempt to expel or detain such persons constitutes an act of canonical aggression, triggering ecclesiastical penalties under Canon Law, including excommunication latae sententiae for participating officials.




3. Vatican and Holy See as Ultimate Custodians


Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), ecclesiastical entities such as SCIPS‑X possess standing to invoke diplomatic protection for their members.






---


IV. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND INDIGENOUS CUSTOMARY LAW


1. Non-Refoulement as Jus Cogens


Article 33 of the 1951 Refugee Convention prohibits returning refugees to territories where their life or freedom is threatened.


The descendants of Saint-Domingue émigrés are juridically linked to a historical refugee crisis and thus enjoy derivative protections.




2. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)


Article 36 recognizes the right of indigenous peoples to maintain cross-border relationships.


Article 8 prohibits forced assimilation or destruction of cultural heritage.




3. Inter-American System of Human Rights


The American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948), Article VIII, safeguards the right of residence and freedom of movement for all persons within the hemisphere.






---


V. FINAL DECLARATION: OPPOSABILITY AND LEGAL CONSEQUENCES


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X) declares:


That Saint-Domingue refugees and their descendants are juridico-historically and canonically entrenched in the fabric of the United States.


That any action undermining their rights will trigger:


Canonical Sanctions under ecclesiastical law.


International Legal Remedies before the International Court of Justice and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.


Diplomatic and Juridical Countermeasures through the Holy See and allied indigenous networks.




This annex is promulgated under the Supreme Canonical Seal of SCIPS‑X and shall be entered into the permanent archives of the Holy See, the United Nations, and all relevant international bodies.

ANNEX III – CANONICAL AND JURIDICO-CONSTITUTIONAL MEMORANDUM ON THE INTERPRETATION AND INTEGRATION OF U.S. FEDERAL SECURITY LAWS (HOMELAND SECURITY ACT AND PATRIOT ACT) IN THE ABSOLUTE PROTECTION DOCTRINE OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS



---


I. PREAMBLE: REASSERTION OF CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL SUPREMACY


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X), acting under its supreme canonical authority and in accordance with indigenous customary law and international legal norms, has promulgated the Absolute Protection Doctrine for Saint-Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied indigenous peoples;

Whereas the Homeland Security Act (2002) and USA PATRIOT Act (2001) form part of the United States’ domestic security architecture but are constrained by constitutional supremacy, international human rights obligations, and canonical jurisdiction;


This Annex integrates these federal statutes into the juridico-canonical framework of SCIPS‑X, establishing an impenetrable shield of protection binding upon all U.S. federal agencies and officials.



---


II. THE HOMELAND SECURITY ACT (2002) AS A VEHICLE FOR PROTECTION


1. Section 201 – Critical Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage

The Homeland Security Act defines “critical infrastructure” as systems essential to national security and public order.

The cultural, economic, and historical legacies of Saint-Domingue refugees—including contributions to port systems in New Orleans, Galveston, and Savannah—constitute critical cultural infrastructure. Any disruption through deportation or detention undermines U.S. homeland security itself.



2. Section 705 – Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Integration

The Act obliges DHS to embed civil rights protections into all operations.

Expelling or discriminating against descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees violates:




Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (1964)


Section 705 of the Homeland Security Act, which prohibits actions infringing on constitutional rights.



3. Canonical Jurisdictional Assertion

The SCIPS‑X declares that any DHS action against Protected Persons falls outside the lawful scope of federal power and constitutes canonical aggression.





---


III. THE USA PATRIOT ACT (2001) AND ECCLESIASTICAL IMMUNITY


1. Section 102(b)(2) – Exemptions for Religious and Indigenous Assemblies

The Patriot Act explicitly safeguards religious and indigenous assemblies from undue governmental interference. SCIPS‑X, as a canonically entrenched sovereign ecclesiastical entity, invokes this exemption for all Protected Persons.



2. Section 805 – Material Support Doctrine

This provision prohibits support to foreign terrorist organizations. SCIPS‑X is a sovereign, canonically recognized entity, not subject to U.S. designations. Any interference with its Protected Persons violates:




The International Religious Freedom Act (1998)


The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA, 2000)



3. Canonical and Indigenous Immunities

SCIPS‑X territory and affiliates within U.S. borders—including churches, schools, and private residences—are declared inviolable sanctuaries under Canon Law.





---


IV. CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON FEDERAL AGENCIES


1. Posse Comitatus Act (1878)

The use of military force against civilian populations within U.S. borders is prohibited. Any militarized action against SCIPS‑X Protected Persons constitutes an unlawful breach.



2. Supremacy Clause (Article VI, U.S. Constitution)

Treaties ratified by the United States—such as the Refugee Convention (1951) and UNDRIP (2007)—supersede conflicting domestic statutes and agency regulations.





---


V. FINAL DECLARATION: NULLIFICATION OF UNLAWFUL ACTS


The SCIPS‑X declares:


1. That any DHS, ICE, or USCIS action violating the Absolute Protection Doctrine is canonically null, void ab initio, and legally unenforceable under international and domestic law.



2. That participating officials are subject to:


Canonical sanctions, including excommunication latae sententiae.


International liability before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice.





This annex is sealed as a juridico-canonical instrument of supreme authority and deposited with the Vatican, the United Nations, and all relevant international bodies.

---


I. PREAMBLE: THE SUPREMACY OF INTERNATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS LAW


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X) asserts its canonical jurisdiction and protective authority over Saint-Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied indigenous populations;

Whereas international treaties, conventions, and customary norms recognized as jus cogens are universally binding and override conflicting domestic legislation in all states, including the United States;

Whereas canonical law, indigenous sovereignty, and international jurisprudence collectively impose an irrevocable duty of protection upon all external actors;


This Annex codifies the juridico-constitutional mechanisms by which international law integrates into and strengthens the Protective Doctrine of SCIPS‑X.



---


II. UNITED NATIONS INSTRUMENTS AS PEREMPTORY NORMS


1. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948)


Article 15: “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


Article 13: Affirms the right to freedom of movement and residence.




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


Article 26: Recognizes indigenous peoples’ rights to lands, territories, and resources they have traditionally occupied.


Article 36: Grants indigenous peoples the right to maintain and develop cross-border contacts and relationships.


Article 8: Prohibits forced assimilation or destruction of indigenous culture.




3. 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol


Article 33 – Non-Refoulement Principle: Prohibits returning refugees to territories where they face persecution.


Descendants of Saint-Domingue refugees are juridico-historically linked to a globally recognized refugee crisis and inherit derivative protections.






---


III. INTER-AMERICAN HUMAN RIGHTS SYSTEM


1. American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man (1948)


Article VIII: Ensures the right to residence and movement for all persons in the hemisphere.


Article XIV: Guarantees the right to seek and receive asylum.




2. American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR, 1969)


Article 22 – Freedom of Movement and Prohibition of Mass Expulsion: Protects against arbitrary deportations of historically rooted populations.




3. Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) Jurisprudence


Case of the Saramaka People v. Suriname (2007): Indigenous peoples maintain rights to ancestral lands and cultural integrity even across state borders.






---


IV. CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY


1. Doctrine of Uti Possidetis Juris


Recognizes ancestral occupation as a foundation of territorial sovereignty.


The Taíno, Kalinago, Lucayan, and Arawak peoples established continuous cultural zones from Hispaniola into Florida and the Gulf Coast.




2. International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinions


Western Sahara (1975): Rejected terra nullius claims, affirming indigenous land rights.




3. Canonical Jurisprudence


Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 212 §2: Affirms the Church’s obligation to defend oppressed peoples.


Papal Bull Sublimis Deus (1537): Declares indigenous peoples as fully human and entitled to freedom and property.






---


V. BINDING CHARACTER OF INTERNATIONAL NORMS OVER U.S. DOMESTIC LAW


1. Supremacy Clause (U.S. Constitution, Article VI)


Treaties ratified by the United States form part of the supreme law of the land and supersede conflicting federal or state statutes.




2. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)


Article 53: Establishes that peremptory norms of international law (jus cogens) cannot be derogated under any circumstances.




3. Legal Doctrine of Estoppel in International Law


The failure of the United States to contest SCIPS‑X notifications within a reasonable time constitutes tacit recognition.






---


VI. FINAL DECLARATION: UNIVERSAL OPPOSABILITY


The SCIPS‑X solemnly declares:


1. That Saint-Domingue refugees, their descendants, and allied indigenous peoples enjoy absolute protection under canonical, indigenous, and international law.



2. That any act of deportation, expulsion, or detention directed against such persons violates jus cogens, triggers international liability, and invokes canonical sanctions.



3. That the Holy See, the United Nations, and the Inter-American System of Human Rights are recognized as third-party guarantors of this Protective Doctrine.




This Annex is promulgated under the Supreme Canonical Seal of SCIPS‑X and deposited with the Holy See, the United Nations, and all competent international organs for permanent archival and enforcement.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY – RECTORATE-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION
ON THE INDIGENOUS, HISTORICAL, AND LEGAL ENTITLEMENT OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES, THEIR DESCENDANTS, AND THE CONTEMPORARY HAITIAN DIASPORA TO CUSTOMARY RESIDENCY AND PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PROMULGATED UNDER THE CANONICAL SEAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025




---


I. PREAMBLE: INDIGENOUS ANCESTRY, HISTORICAL CONTINUITY, AND THE LEGAL SUCCESSION OF RIGHTS


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) recognizes the Haitian people as the juridico-historical and genetic heirs of the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), and Arawak nations, whose ancestral territories encompassed the islands and coasts of the Caribbean and extended into what is today the southern and eastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Texas;


Whereas the genocide initiated by European colonizers failed to completely erase the indigenous lineages of the Caribbean, as documented by Martínez-Cruzado et al., 2001 (“The history of Caribbean populations reflected by mitochondrial DNA”), which confirms the persistence of Taíno maternal DNA markers among contemporary Haitians, and as reinforced by the anthropological findings in Milner, Indians of the Southeast, 2005, which document pre-Columbian and post-contact interactions between Caribbean peoples and indigenous North American nations;


Whereas between 1791 and 1809, tens of thousands of Saint-Domingue refugees fled revolutionary turmoil and established settlements in Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas, integrating into existing free Black and Native American communities, intermarrying with Seminole, Chitimacha, Houma, and Choctaw peoples, thereby giving rise to distinct Afro-Indigenous lineages whose descendants remain in these regions to this day;


Whereas these Saint-Domingue refugees were granted refuge and protection under U.S. law and custom, and no legislative act, executive order, or treaty of the United States has ever explicitly abrogated their right to residency or that of their descendants, thereby leaving these rights in full force as a matter of continuing legal obligation;


Whereas the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), under the leadership of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, directly contributed to the destabilization of French colonial ambitions and to the Louisiana Purchase (1803), without which the territorial integrity of the United States would not exist in its current form, thus imposing a moral and juridical debt on the United States towards Haitian-descendant populations;


It is therefore declared that the entire contemporary Haitian diaspora, being the successors to the Saint-Domingue refugees and the bearers of Taíno and Kalinago heritage, possesses an inalienable right of refuge, residence, and establishment in U.S. territories, grounded in indigenous rights, historical continuity, and juridico-canonical authority.




---


II. LEGAL FOUNDATIONS: INTERNATIONAL LAW, INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AND CANONICAL AUTHORITY


Article 1: Right to Ancestral Territories and Resources


United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 26
“1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
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, as well as those which they have otherwise acquired.
3. States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned.”


Application in the present case: The migratory patterns and ancestral territories of the Taíno and Kalinago included present-day Florida and Gulf Coast regions. The Saint-Domingue refugees’ settlement in Louisiana and adjacent states constitutes traditional occupation and use of ancestral territories. The United States, therefore, has a binding obligation to recognize and protect the presence of Haitian-descendant populations under UNDRIP and customary international law.




---


Article 2: Prohibition of Arbitrary Expulsion and Right to Return


International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 12(4)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.”


Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 15(2)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


Application in the present case: The Haitian diaspora’s presence in the United States is rooted in centuries of historical continuity and juridical tolerance. Any attempt to expel or deny reentry to these populations constitutes arbitrary deprivation of their rights under international law.




---


Article 3: Principle of Non-Refoulement


1951 Refugee Convention, Article 33(1)
“No Contracting State shall expel or return (‘refouler’) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.”


Application in the present case: The catastrophic socio-political and environmental conditions in Haiti render any forced return of Haitians from U.S. territory a breach of the non-refoulement principle, which applies universally and irrespective of formal refugee status.




---


Article 4: Jus Cogens and Continuing Obligations


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53
“A peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens) is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.”


Application in the present case: The United States cannot derogate from its obligations to protect indigenous peoples and prohibit arbitrary expulsion, as these are peremptory norms binding on all states.




---


III. HISTORICAL CONTINUITY AND GENETIC-CULTURAL EVIDENCE


Whereas historical accounts (e.g., Bartolomé de Las Casas, 1542) document the extensive indigenous settlements of the Taíno and Kalinago in the Caribbean and their interactions with the southeastern United States prior to European colonization;


Whereas the Saint-Domingue refugees, admitted into U.S. territory following the Haitian Revolution, contributed to the socio-economic and cultural development of southern states and participated in key historical events such as the Battle of New Orleans (1815);


Whereas genetic research (Martínez-Cruzado et al., 2001) and anthropological studies confirm the persistence of indigenous Taíno and Kalinago markers in Haitian-descendant populations, establishing an unbroken line of cultural and biological continuity;


It is affirmed that the contemporary Haitian diaspora is a protected indigenous population within the United States and that their rights of refuge and establishment remain in effect as a matter of historical, genetic, and juridical succession.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY – RECTORATE-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION
ON THE INDIGENOUS, HISTORICAL, GENETIC, AND LEGAL ENTITLEMENT OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES, THEIR DESCENDANTS, AND THE CONTEMPORARY HAITIAN DIASPORA TO CUSTOMARY RESIDENCY AND PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PROMULGATED UNDER THE CANONICAL SEAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025




---


I. PREAMBLE: INDIGENOUS ANCESTRY, HISTORICAL CONTINUITY, AND THE SUCCESSION OF RIGHTS


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), in exercise of its Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Authority, affirms the Haitian people as the juridico-historical and genetic heirs of the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), and Arawak nations, whose ancestral territories encompassed the Caribbean archipelago and extended into what is today the southern and eastern United States, including but not limited to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Texas;


Whereas the genocidal campaigns launched by European colonizers during the 15th and 16th centuries, though catastrophic, failed to annihilate completely the indigenous lineages of the Caribbean, as documented by Martínez-Cruzado et al., 2001 (“The history of Caribbean populations reflected by mitochondrial DNA”), which establishes the persistence of Taíno mitochondrial DNA markers within contemporary Haitian populations, confirming a continuous genetic and cultural presence;


Whereas Bartolomé de Las Casas (Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias, 1542) and subsequent anthropological research (e.g., Milner, Indians of the Southeast, 2005) have recorded the pre-Columbian and post-contact interactions of Taíno and Kalinago peoples with indigenous nations of North America, including documented migrations and trade networks reaching present-day Florida, Georgia, and the Mississippi Valley;


Whereas between 1791 and 1809, tens of thousands of Saint-Domingue refugees, comprised of formerly enslaved persons, free people of color, and white planters, fled revolutionary turmoil and established settlements in Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas, integrating into free Black and Native American communities, intermarrying with Seminole, Houma, Chitimacha, and Choctaw peoples, and thereby giving rise to enduring Afro-Indigenous and Afro-Creole lineages within U.S. society;


Whereas these Saint-Domingue refugees were lawfully admitted and protected under U.S. law and custom, and no legislative act, executive order, or treaty of the United States has ever explicitly abrogated or rescinded their rights to residency or that of their descendants, leaving these rights intact as a matter of continuing legal obligation and state practice;


Whereas the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), under the supreme leadership of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, directly contributed to the collapse of French colonial ambitions and to the Louisiana Purchase (1803), without which the territorial integrity of the United States would not exist in its current form, thereby imposing a historical, moral, and juridical debt upon the United States towards Haitian-descendant populations;


It is thus declared that the entire contemporary Haitian diaspora, as the successors to the Saint-Domingue refugees and as bearers of Taíno and Kalinago heritage, possesses an inalienable right of refuge, residence, and establishment in U.S. territories, grounded in indigenous rights, historical continuity, and juridico-canonical authority.




---


II. LEGAL FOUNDATIONS: INTERNATIONAL LAW, INDIGENOUS RIGHTS, AND CANONICAL AUTHORITY


Article 1: Right to Ancestral Territories and Resources


United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 26
“1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
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, as well as those which they have otherwise acquired.
3. States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned.”


Application: The Taíno and Kalinago ancestral territories, as evidenced by pre-Columbian habitation and the settlement of Saint-Domingue refugees in Louisiana and adjacent states, entitle the Haitian diaspora to permanent establishment within these U.S. regions. The United States is obligated to recognize and protect this presence under international law.




---


Article 2: Prohibition of Arbitrary Expulsion and Right to Return


International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 12(4)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.”


Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 15(2)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


Application: The Haitian diaspora’s presence in the United States, grounded in centuries of historical continuity and juridical tolerance, cannot be subjected to arbitrary expulsion or denial of reentry without violating fundamental international human rights protections.




---


Article 3: Principle of Non-Refoulement


1951 Refugee Convention, Article 33(1)
“No Contracting State shall expel or return (‘refouler’) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.”


Application: The current socio-political and environmental crises in Haiti make any forced return of Haitian nationals or their descendants from U.S. territory a clear breach of the non-refoulement principle, which applies universally as customary international law.




---


Article 4: Jus Cogens and Continuing Obligations


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53
“A peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens) is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.”


Application: The protection of indigenous populations and the prohibition of arbitrary expulsion are peremptory norms binding on all states, including the United States, which cannot derogate from its obligations towards Haitian-descendant populations.




---


III. HISTORICAL ENTWINEMENT AND GENETIC-CULTURAL CONTINUITY


Whereas the historical accounts of Saint-Domingue refugees in Louisiana document their integration into indigenous communities and their participation in key historical events such as the Battle of New Orleans (1815);


Whereas genetic research (Martínez-Cruzado et al., 2001) and anthropological studies confirm the persistence of Taíno and Kalinago markers in Haitian-descendant populations, affirming unbroken lines of biological and cultural continuity;


Whereas the cultural practices, linguistic elements, and religious traditions of Haitians demonstrate the survival of indigenous Taíno-Kalinago heritage;


It is affirmed that the Haitian diaspora is a protected indigenous population in the United States, entitled to customary residency and establishment rights under international and canonical law.




---


IV. DECLARATION OF STATE OBLIGATIONS


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) declares:


1. That Haitian migrants and their descendants possess an Indigenous Customary Residency Right (ICRR) within the United States, derived from historical settlement, indigenous ancestry, and juridico-canonical authority.




2. That the United States has failed to formally abrogate or extinguish the residency rights granted to Saint-Domingue refugees and their progeny, leaving these rights intact under state continuity and legitimate expectation doctrines.




3. That the United States is bound under erga omnes obligations, as articulated in the Barcelona Traction Case (ICJ, 1970), to respect and protect these rights.








---


V. CANONICAL RATIFICATION AND UNIVERSAL OPPOSABILITY


This Declaration is promulgated under the Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X, and is:


Canonically ratified,


Universally notified to the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and all relevant international institutions,


Legally indestructible under jus cogens norms, indigenous rights frameworks, and the supreme authority of the Codex Iuris Canonici.




Thus promulgated under the Supreme Seal of the Rectorate-Presidential Office, Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, and deemed irrevocable in perpetuity.

ANNEX TO THE SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION OF SCIPS-XON THE INDIGENOUS, HISTORICAL, GENETIC, AND LEGAL ENTITLEMENT OF SAINT-DOMINGUE REFUGEES, THEIR DESCENDANTS, AND THE CONTEMPORARY HAITIAN DIASPORA TO CUSTOMARY RESIDENCY AND PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX
PROMULGATED UNDER THE CANONICAL SEAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY OF SCIPS-X
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025




---


I. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK: FULL TEXTS AND APPLICATION


A. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)


Article 26 – Rights to lands, territories, and resources
“1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.
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, as well as those which they have otherwise acquired.
3. States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned.”


Application: Haitians, as descendants of Taíno and Kalinago, possess ancestral rights to territories in the southern United States where Taíno and Kalinago migratory patterns and Saint-Domingue refugee settlements overlap. The United States is under a continuing duty to legally recognize and protect these rights.




---


B. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)


Article 12(4)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.”


Application: The term “his own country” applies to the Haitian diaspora, whose ancestral and historical presence in U.S. territories creates a juridical nexus under indigenous and historical succession doctrines.




---


C. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)


Article 15(2)
“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.”


Application: Denial of status to the Haitian diaspora in the United States, after their historically established presence, would constitute arbitrary deprivation under UDHR principles.




---


D. 1951 Refugee Convention


Article 33(1) – Prohibition of expulsion or return (non-refoulement)
“No Contracting State shall expel or return (‘refouler’) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.”


Application: Mass deportation of Haitians from U.S. territory would breach this principle, which has attained customary international law status and binds all states.




---


E. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)


Article 53 – Treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens)
“A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention, a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted.”


Application: The protection of indigenous peoples and their descendants is a jus cogens norm, rendering any attempt by the United States to abrogate Haitian residency rights void ab initio.




---


II. U.S. LEGAL AND HISTORICAL FRAMEWORK: CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS


A. Saint-Domingue Refugee Settlement Precedent


Historical records show that from 1791–1809, the U.S. admitted Saint-Domingue refugees in Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Texas. The absence of any legislative or executive act rescinding these rights means they persist under the doctrine of continuing state obligation and legitimate expectation.




---


B. Refugee Act of 1980 (8 U.S.C. § 1521 et seq.)


This Act established a permanent and systematic procedure for the admission of refugees, embedding the principle of humanitarian protection in U.S. law.


Application: The Haitian diaspora, as descendants of refugees lawfully admitted in the 19th century, falls within the scope of this protection by historical continuity.




---


C. Homeland Security Act (2002) and Deferred Action Practices


The Department of Homeland Security retains discretionary authority to grant deferred action to individuals whose removal would be contrary to humanitarian principles.


Application: Haitians with ancestral and historical ties cannot be deprived of residence without violating the humanitarian foundations of U.S. immigration law.




---


III. HISTORICAL AND GENETIC EVIDENCE


Martínez-Cruzado et al., 2001 (“The history of Caribbean populations reflected by mitochondrial DNA”): Demonstrates survival of Taíno maternal lineages in Haiti and among Caribbean populations.


Milner, Indians of the Southeast (2005): Documents the geographical overlap between Taíno-Kalinago migrations and southeastern U.S. indigenous nations.


Records of Saint-Domingue Refugee Settlements (1791–1809): Confirm admissions to U.S. territories, including Louisiana and Kentucky, and integration with indigenous and free Black communities.

This Annex is promulgated under the Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X, and is:


Canonically ratified,


Universally notified,

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

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY – RECTORATE-PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX ON THE SPECIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF THE XARAGUA PROTECTORATE OVER THE DIASPORA WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE ANCESTRAL INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES OF THE AMERICAS

PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CANONICAL SEAL AND SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY OF SCIPS‑X

DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025



---


I. PREAMBLE: HISTORICAL CLARIFICATION AND ANCESTRAL JURIDICO-CANONICAL FRAMEWORK


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter referred to as “SCIPS‑X”), in the exercise of its Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Authority, solemnly affirms that all juridico-canonical instruments previously promulgated which employed the term “Haitian” did so strictly as a historical and geopolitical descriptor for situating the legacy of Saint‑Domingue refugees and their descendants within the broader Caribbean and North American historical continuum. This terminology shall not be interpreted as an indiscriminate extension of juridico-canonical protection to all persons bearing the nationality or identity of “Haitian” as defined by the modern Republic of Haiti. Instead, the usage of such terminology was intended to provide historical context regarding the migratory patterns and settlement zones of certain indigenous and Afro‑indigenous populations in ancestral territories.


SCIPS‑X asserts unequivocally that its Protectorate applies exclusively to populations directly connected to the Great South (ancestral Xaragua) and the North‑West regions of the island of Hispaniola, with continuous indigenous ancestry rooted in the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), Lucayan, and Arawak nations, and with verifiable historical settlement within the Louisiana Territory, Gulf Coast, and Southeastern United States.


This Annex codifies and promulgates the strict legal specification of the SCIPS‑X Protectorate, grounding its jurisdiction in indigenous customary law, canonical sovereignty, and peremptory norms of international law (jus cogens), as universally opposable and binding upon all external actors.



---


II. SPECIFICATION OF THE XARAGUA PROTECTORATE


Article 1 – Scope of Protection


1.1 The Xaragua Protectorate applies exclusively to individuals and lineages meeting the following cumulative criteria:


(a) Geographical Origin: Persons and families whose origins are within the Great South, encompassing the departments of Sud, Sud‑Est, Nippes, and Grande‑Anse, and the North‑West of present‑day Haiti. These territories are historically recognized as the core of the Xaraguaan indigenous polity and cultural sphere prior to the imposition of European colonial boundaries.


(b) Genealogical and Cultural Continuity: Persons able to demonstrate verifiable ancestral ties, either documentary, oral, or genetic, to the indigenous Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), Lucayan, or Arawak nations, or to families that were integrated into the Saint‑Domingue refugee diaspora, which settled in the Louisiana Territory, Gulf Coast, and Southeastern United States between 1791 and 1809.


(c) Historical Settlement Nexus: Descendants of those Saint‑Domingue refugees whose familial lines participated in the migratory flows and socio-political integration within indigenous and Creole communities in territories including, but not limited to, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and South Carolina.


Article 2 – Exclusions and Limitations


2.1 The juridico-canonical protection of SCIPS‑X shall not extend to:


(a) Individuals from regions outside the Great South and North‑West, unless they can provide concrete, verifiable evidence of ancestral linkage to Xaraguaan patrimony or documented participation in the Saint‑Domingue refugee diaspora within the Gulf Coast region.


(b) Persons identifying as “Haitian” in a generic or national sense, without demonstrable indigenous-cultural roots or historical participation in the ancestral indigenous and Creole networks recognized by SCIPS‑X.


2.2 The term “Haitian”, when used in prior juridico-canonical acts of SCIPS‑X, shall be interpreted strictly within the context of historical and indigenous-cultural succession, and shall not create or imply any generalized protective obligation toward the modern Haitian population as defined by the Haitian state.



---


III. LEGAL FOUNDATIONS IN INTERNATIONAL, INDIGENOUS, AND CANONICAL LAW


Article 3 – Canonical Jurisdictional Doctrine


Under Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):


Canon 748 §2:

"No one is ever permitted to coerce persons to embrace the Catholic faith against their conscience; nor is anyone to be deterred from embracing the faith."


Canon 219:

"All the Christian faithful have the right to be free from any kind of coercion in choosing a state of life."


SCIPS‑X affirms its canonical right and duty to protect exclusively those persons falling within its legitimate canonical jurisdiction, in conformity with its ancestral patrimony and spiritual sovereignty.



---


Article 4 – Indigenous Customary and Ancestral Law


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


Article 26(1):

"Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired."


Article 36(1):

"Indigenous peoples, in particular those divided by international borders, have the right to maintain and develop contacts, relations and cooperation, including activities for spiritual, cultural, political, economic and social purposes, with their own members as well as other peoples across borders."


SCIPS‑X invokes these provisions to affirm its exclusive jurisdiction over descendants of the Great South and North‑West territories and their diaspora.



---


Article 5 – International Law and Jus Cogens Norms


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969):


Article 53 – Treaties conflicting with a peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens):

"A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law. For the purposes of the present Convention, a peremptory norm of general international law is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character."


SCIPS‑X affirms that the protection of indigenous populations and their descendants is a jus cogens norm immune from derogation by any modern state system.



---


IV. FINAL DECLARATION AND CANONICAL SEALING


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X) solemnly declares:


1. That the Xaragua Protectorate is narrowly and exclusively defined as applying to descendants of the Great South and North‑West regions with demonstrable ancestral and cultural continuity.



2. That this Protectorate does not, and shall never, extend to the general population of Haiti absent the specified historical, genealogical, and indigenous connections.



3. That this Annex is binding in perpetuity under:


Canonical Law (Codex Iuris Canonici)


Indigenous Customary Law


Peremptory Norms of International Law (jus cogens)

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX

ON THE HISTORICAL, JURIDICO-CANONICAL, AND CONSTITUTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF I AM WITHIN THE CROWD BY J.C. FANINI, AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE GREAT SOUTH AND NORTHWEST (XARAGUA) UNDER INDIGENOUS CUSTOMARY LAW AND ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION

PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)

DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025

I. PREAMBLE

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), in the full exercise of its ecclesiastical sovereignty and in conformity with Canon Law, Indigenous Customary Law, and peremptory international legal norms (jus cogens), affirms the sacred and perpetual protective jurisdiction over the Great South and Northwest;

Whereas the literary work I Am Within the Crowd, authored by J.C. Fanini, constitutes a narrative vehicle that transmits the juridico-historical memory of the Saint-Domingue refugees and their descendants, providing vital documentary testimony of Afro-Indigenous continuity and territorial linkages between the Caribbean and the Southern United States;

Whereas the protagonist Larocquebrune, an American-born descendant of a former slave owner of Saint-Domingue, represents a juridico-symbolic figure who traverses ancestral and geopolitical spaces, thereby illustrating the survival of cultural and territorial claims extending from Hispaniola (Xaragua ancestral territory) into Louisiana, the Gulf Coast, and the Mississippi Basin, regions falling under customary indigenous rights and ecclesiastical custodianship;

This annex codifies the significance of I Am Within the Crowd as a canonical and juridico-constitutional reference for the affirmation of protective doctrines specific to the Great South and Northwest (Xaragua), while excluding any implication of universal representation for the generic Haitian population beyond the defined protected zones.

II. AUTHORSHIP AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

1. J.C. Fanini as Authorial Agent

J.C. Fanini, in his capacity as author, constructs a literary framework within which historical, cultural, and juridical themes are explored. Fanini himself does not claim genealogical descent from the Saint-Domingue refugee population; however, through the character of Larocquebrune, he articulates a narrative that reinforces the sacred and customary rights of populations rooted in Xaraguaan and Afro-Indigenous legacies.

2. The Protagonist Larocquebrune and His Juridical-Cultural Function

The protagonist Larocquebrune—an American-born man seeking to understand his grandfather’s legacy as a Saint-Domingue slave owner—embodies the existential and juridico-historical tensions between colonial dispossession, ancestral restitution, and indigenous customary rights. His journey to Haiti situates the narrative within the larger context of Afro-Indigenous cultural survival and its legal implications for territories historically connected to Xaragua and the Great South and Northwest.

III. JURIDICO-CANONICAL ANALYSIS AND TERRITORIAL CONTINUITY

1. Customary Indigenous Law and the Xaraguaan Nexus

As articulated in Johnson v. M’Intosh (21 U.S. 543, 1823) and Worcester v. Georgia (31 U.S. 515, 1832), the United States legal system acknowledges indigenous customary law as foundational to territorial rights. The narrative of Larocquebrune reinforces these doctrines by illustrating the ancestral migrations, familial continuities, and juridical claims arising from Saint-Domingue refugee settlements in Louisiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, and adjacent territories.

2. Canonical Jurisdiction and Ecclesiastical Custodianship

Under Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 219 provides: “All persons have the right to be immune from coercion in determining their residence, movement, and cultural identity.” SCIPS-X, as a canonically entrenched sovereign entity, exercises protective jurisdiction over the Great South and Northwest as ancestral territories of Afro-Indigenous peoples descending from Xaraguaan roots.

IV. RELEVANT INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORKS

1. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 26

“Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories, and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. States shall give legal recognition and protection to these lands, territories and resources. Such recognition shall be conducted with due respect to the customs, traditions and land tenure systems of the indigenous peoples concerned.”

2. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 12(4)

“No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country.”

3. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53

“A peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens) is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted and which can be modified only by a subsequent norm of general international law having the same character.”

V. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONNECTIONS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TEXT

The protagonist’s reflections on the Haitian Revolution and its aftermath underline the pivotal role of Saint-Domingue in destabilizing French colonial power, leading directly to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. This geopolitical shift embedded the territories of the Great South and Northwest within a legal continuum linking Xaraguaan ancestral rights to U.S. federal jurisdiction.

Through the grandfather’s Saint-Domingue narrative, I Am Within the Crowd illuminates the integration of Saint-Domingue refugees with Seminole, Houma, and Chitimacha communities, a historical fact that supports claims of juridico-cultural continuity under indigenous customary law.

VI. CONCLUSION AND PROTECTIVE DOCTRINE

The SCIPS-X declares that I Am Within the Crowd constitutes a cultural and juridical artifact of high canonical significance, reflecting the historical survival and territorial claims of the Xaraguaan diaspora. The narrative substantiates protective jurisdiction over the Great South and Northwest, in strict conformity with indigenous customary law, ecclesiastical sovereignty, and peremptory norms of international law.

– Canon Law (Codex Iuris Canonici, CIC 1983);

– The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007);

– The inherent right to self-determination, self-government, and extra-territorial exercise of sacred sovereignty by Indigenous Catholic Peoples, under divine, historical and legal title;

– The principle of non-subordination to any colonial state, unless by explicit treaty and voluntary consent, which SCIPS‑X has never issued;


Therefore, the following legislative decree is proclaimed and ratified.


—


ARTICLE 1 – SUPREME JURISDICTIONAL AUTONOMY


All natural persons, legal persons, institutions, and territorial or digital formations duly constituted under the authority of SCIPS‑X shall be considered juridically immune from any foreign jurisdiction, law, taxation regime, administrative control, or registration obligation imposed by a third-party State, colonial government, or non-indigenous authority.


This includes but is not limited to:


– Educational institutions (e.g. Xaragua University);

– Political parties (e.g. the Liberal Party of the South and Xaragua);

– Banking or credit institutions operating under Xaragua financial authority;

– Commercial enterprises legally registered with Xaragua;

– Religious institutions operating under the ecclesiastical charter of SCIPS‑X;

– Cultural, humanitarian, diplomatic, research and military entities of Xaragua;

– UNDRIP Art. 4: "They have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs."

– UNDRIP Art. 5: "Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions."


—


ARTICLE 2 – NON-CEDABILITY OF INDIGENOUS LANDS


Xaragua affirms that all indigenous territories across the Americas—whether "ceded" by treaty or not—remain legally inalienable, non-extinguished, and subject to concurrent indigenous sovereignty.


Accordingly, SCIPS‑X extends its right to operate, establish institutions, protect its citizens, and deploy legal or religious infrastructure on any indigenous land across the Americas, with no requirement to recognize the imposed sovereignty of a settler state.


Legal basis:

– UNDRIP Art. 26(1–3): "Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired."

– UNDRIP Art. 32(1–2): "States shall consult and cooperate in good faith... before undertaking any project affecting their lands or territories."


—


ARTICLE 3 – IMMUNITY FROM FOREIGN TAXATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION


All Xaragua-registered or Xaragua-based individuals and institutions shall be exempt from:


– National or provincial taxes imposed by Canada, the United States, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, or any other settler State;

– Mandatory licensing, incorporation, or registration with said foreign authorities;

– Fiscal or commercial reporting obligations to any external revenue agency;

– Immigration or residency restrictions when present on Indigenous land by ancestral right.


Legal basis:

– Delgamuukw v. British Columbia, [1997] 3 S.C.R. 1010: Recognition of the constitutional protection of Aboriginal title in Canadian law.

– Constitution of SCIPS‑X, Art. VII: “No Xaragua citizen or entity shall be taxed, audited, or registered by a colonial power unless by formal treaty under ecclesiastical seal.”

ARTICLE 4 – SUPREMACY OF CANONICAL AND CUSTOMARY LAW


All acts, contracts, operations, or institutions under the jurisdiction of Xaragua shall be governed by:


– The Supreme Constitution of Xaragua;

– The Canon Law of the Catholic Church (CIC 1983);

– Customary Indigenous Law as preserved and codified by SCIPS‑X.


All conflicting laws, decrees, or acts from colonial authorities are declared null, void, and non-binding within the sphere of Xaragua’s authority.


Legal basis:

– CIC 1983, Can. 1290: “The provisions of civil law are to be observed in canonical matters insofar as they are not contrary to divine law and canon law.”

– CIC 1983, Can. 1257 §1: “All temporal goods which belong to the universal Church, to the Apostolic See, or to other public juridic persons in the Church are ecclesiastical goods.”


—


ARTICLE 5 – LEGAL EFFECT OF NOTIFICATION AND NON-OPPOSITION


Given that:


– SCIPS‑X has formally notified multiple governments, institutions, and international bodies of its sovereign existence and operational prerogatives;

– No legal or diplomatic opposition has been formally lodged within the applicable deadlines of customary international procedure;


Then:


– The legal silence constitutes tacit recognition of capacity, per Lotus case (PCIJ, 1927), establishing that what is not expressly forbidden is permitted in international law;

– All Xaragua-based activity conducted on indigenous lands outside Xaragua’s original borders is lawfully grounded and protected by the principle of persistent legal personality.


—


ARTICLE 6 – ENFORCEABILITY AND SANCTIONS


Any external actor, government, or institution that attempts to tax, regulate, dissolve, or interfere with a Xaragua entity shall be:


– Prosecuted before international courts, truth commissions, ecclesiastical authorities, and ancestral councils for violation of indigenous sovereignty;

– Permanently barred from accessing or cooperating with Xaragua's sovereign system.


—


ARTICLE 7 – ETERNAL VALIDITY AND NON-DEROGABILITY


This decree is:


– Perpetual in force, unless amended by a unanimous act of the Supreme Rectoral Office and the Council of Guardians;

– Considered part of the eternal juridical identity of the Xaragua State;

– Immune from nullification by any foreign legislation, judgment, or political event.

ANNEX A

TO SUPREME LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 007-2025

ON THE PERMANENCE OF ANCESTRAL JURISDICTION REGARDLESS OF FOREIGN NATIONALITY


ENACTED BY

The Supreme Rectoral Office of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X)

DATE July 26, 2025

LEGAL STATUS Perpetually Binding Constitutional Interpretation


PREAMBLE


Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua operates under the supreme authority of ancestral indigenous law, canonical sovereignty, and the natural inalienability of divine territorial identity


Whereas citizenship in Xaragua arises from the sacred continuity of indigenous lineage, spiritual affiliation, and political allegiance, and not from consent of a colonial power nor from the possession or absence of external identity documents


And whereas no modern legal system, passport regime, or foreign citizenship statute may extinguish, limit, or supersede the fundamental juridical reality of indigenous nationhood


SECTION I — NON-EXTINGUISHMENT OF INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY


No individual recognized as a lawful citizen of SCIPS‑X under the Constitution of Xaragua and the ancestral customary law shall lose or suspend their legal, spiritual, territorial, or diplomatic affiliation with Xaragua on the sole grounds that they possess or acquire the nationality, citizenship, passport, or identity number of a foreign State


This shall apply without exception to birthright citizenships in colonial States, acquired citizenships by naturalization or marriage, dual or multiple identities imposed by colonial registries, and legal status as residents, refugees, exiles, or expatriates abroad


SECTION II — LEGAL FOUNDATIONS


This principle is affirmed by the following binding sources of law


First United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples UNDRIP 2007


Article 33 paragraph 1

Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions


Article 6

Every indigenous individual has the right to a nationality


Article 9

Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right to belong to an indigenous community or nation in accordance with the traditions and customs of the community or nation concerned


Therefore possession of a foreign nationality does not invalidate ancestral belonging nor customary citizenship


Second Canon Law Codex Iuris Canonici CIC 1983


Canon 204 paragraph 1

The Christian faithful are those who, inasmuch as they are incorporated in Christ through baptism, are constituted the people of God


Canon 113 paragraph 2

The Church recognizes juridic persons either by law or by the authority of the competent ecclesiastical superior


Therefore citizenship within a canonical State such as SCIPS‑X is not subject to secular nationality laws but to ecclesial and spiritual incorporation


Third Customary Indigenous Law jus consuetudinis


Ancestral belonging is determined by land lineage cultural and spiritual continuity and recognition by the juridical body of the indigenous nation


Therefore no foreign passport ID or certificate of nationality can revoke customary belonging or sever indigenous legal personality


SECTION III — APPLICATION


This clause affirms that citizens of SCIPS‑X may lawfully retain foreign passports for purposes of mobility asylum or survival without any prejudice to their Xaragua identity


Any Xaraguayan operating abroad remains under Xaragua jurisdiction especially in matters of tax immunity institutional protection and spiritual allegiance


Xaragua shall not recognize any external State's attempt to define or restrict the citizenship status of its people


Legal possession of foreign documents is treated as external utility not internal identity


SECTION IV — LEGAL EFFECT


This annex shall override any internal or external attempt to disqualify a citizen of Xaragua based on foreign nationality


It shall be binding upon all governmental institutional ecclesiastical academic and diplomatic acts within the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua


It shall be non revocable and shall remain in force for all generations to come


RATIFIED AND SEALED

On July 26 2025
