SUPREME INDIGENOUS-CANONICAL CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
ON THE TOTAL, PERMANENT, AND NON-DEROGABLE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OVER THE ENTIRE TERRITORY CURRENTLY KNOWN AS HAITI
Enacted by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), in exercise of its canonical, historical, indigenous, and spiritual jurisdiction as successor to the Taíno polity and the imperial anti-colonial order established by Jacques I (Jean-Jacques Dessalines)
---
PREAMBLE
Whereas the land formerly known as Saint-Domingue was reclaimed by force, by blood, and by sacred vow, to reestablish the sovereign dominion of the indigenous heirs of this soil,
Whereas Emperor Jacques I (Jean-Jacques Dessalines) did explicitly refer to the new state as the homeland of the "aïeux" (ancestors) and of the "indigènes" (indigenous people),
Whereas all juridical identity in the Constitution of 1805 is predicated on indigenous belonging, not on race, color, nor foreign descent,
Whereas the use of the word “Noir” (Black) in Article 14 of the 1805 Constitution is an instrument of unification and indigenization, not a racial or colonial category,
Whereas the people of the Taíno lineage, including all those historically assimilated into the indigenous body politic via colonization, enslavement, or resistance, constitute today the a genetic, cultural, and territorial presence across the entirety of the so-called Haitian territory,
Whereas the Dominican Republic constitutes a region historically, genetically, linguistically, and spiritually integrated into the Taíno-Hispanic-Indigenous continuum, with no political claim issued herewith, but a factual recognition of its inclusion within the broader ancestral territory of the Indigenous Caribbean,
Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua does not seek dispossession or displacement of current Haitian non-suis generis, non-sovereign inhabitants (If it does not infringe indigenous rights on claimed ancestral lands or the interests of its people), but the juridical reinstatement of the total indigenous sovereignty and the active supervision of all administrative remnants to prevent anti-environmental, anti-indigenous, anti-security and other encroachments,
We, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X), issue and enact the following constitutional law:
---
ARTICLE I — ON INDIGENOUS TITLE TO TERRITORY
§1.1 — The entire territory currently identified as the Republic of Haiti is, in full, without exception, and in perpetuity, the ancestral, sacred, juridical, and inalienable territory of the Indigenous Taíno people, including their Afro-descendant co-heirs integrated by blood, struggle, and history.
§1.2 — This includes but is not limited to the regions of Xaragua,all Taíno settlements and sacred lands, as well as post-Taíno structures led by Afro-Taíno unifiers, namely Jacques I Dessalines, who explicitly recognized indigenous identity as the foundation of national sovereignty.
(Territory known as so-called republic of haiti)
---
ARTICLE II — ON DESSALINES' INDIGENOUS DOCTRINE
§2.1 — The foundational doctrine of the Haytian State, as stated by Jean-Jacques Dessalines in the Act of Independence (1 January 1804), establishes:
“Hayti est indépendante : c’est notre pays, c’est le pays de nos aïeux.”
(“Hayti is independent: it is our country, it is the country of our ancestors.”)
§2.2 — The same proclamation affirms:
“L’indigène d’Hayti est libre et ne reconnaîtra jamais de maître.”
(“The indigenous of Hayti is free and will never again recognize a master.”)
§2.3 — In his 28 April 1804 address, Dessalines declares:
“Nous sommes les enfants de cette terre, les héritiers de nos ancêtres martyrisés.”
(“We are the children of this land, the heirs of our martyred ancestors.”)
§2.4 — In March 1804, he affirms:
“Il n’y a plus ni affranchis, ni esclaves, ni libres de naissance : nous sommes tous indigènes.”
(“There are no more freedmen, no more slaves, no more free-born: we are all indigenous.”)
§2.5 — Article 14 of the 1805 Constitution affirms:
“Toute acception de couleur [...] doit cesser : les Haytiens seront désormais connus sous la dénomination générale de Noirs.”
(“All distinctions of color must cease: Haytians shall henceforth be known only under the general designation of Blacks.”)
Application: This article legally redefines “Noir” as a political designation of unified indigenous belonging — not of racial African identity — thus constituting a juridical category of national indigenization, not foreign Africanism.
---
ARTICLE III — ON CANONICAL AND HISTORICAL LEGITIMACY
§3.1 — The sovereignty declared by Jacques I was made in continuity with the indigenous claim to the land.
The Act of Independence was not only a rupture from France, but a reversion to ancestral title.
It states:
“Nous avons osé être libres ; osons l’être par nous-mêmes et pour nous-mêmes.”
§3.2 — The Proclamation of 1804, Constitution of 1805, and all subsequent declarations make no reference to African states, nations, or lineages.
The political myth of an “African republic in exile” is an anachronistic invention post-1806.
The founding intention was the institutional rebirth of a sovereign indigenous order.
---
ARTICLE IV — ON THE UNITARY CHARACTER OF INDIGENOUS TERRITORY
§4.1 — The Taíno people and their indigenous descendants have a juridical and ancestral right to the entirety of the island, not limited to Xaragua.
§4.2 — The eastern portion of the island, today the Dominican Republic, is recognized not as territory of Xaragua in an administrative manner, but as part of the broader Taíno-Hispanic-Mestizo ancestral complex, spiritually and historically linked, without interference or claim of jurisdiction despite cultural, spiritual and indigenous.
§4.3 — No part of the island may be legally ceded, alienated, or transferred — directly or indirectly — to any foreign power, private interest, or multinational entity.
Any such act is null ab initio under indigenous, canonical, and natural law.
---
ARTICLE V — ON RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS AND THEIR MONITORING
§5.1 — The current structure of the Republic of Haiti is a residual administrative unit inherited from post-1806 counter-revolutionary forces, which must be recognized only as a provisional administration under indigenous and canonical oversight.
§5.2 — Any action taken by said unit that endangers:
Indigenous land rights and laws
Environmental sanctity
Cultural sovereignty
Security of the population
…must be actively countered by the constitutional and international means available to the Indigenous State of Xaragua and its allied structures.
---
ARTICLE VI — ON PERPETUAL ENFORCEABILITY AND LEGAL FOUNDATIONS
§6.1 — This law is protected and reinforced under:
Article 26 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP):
“Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired.”
Article 1(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR):
“All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”
Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53:
“A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens).”
§6.2 — The Indigenous Title to the land of Haiti, as reclaimed by Dessalines and declared in every foundational text, constitutes a jus cogens right.
---
ARTICLE VII — ON THE REJECTION OF FRAUDULENT REWRITINGS OF HISTORY
§7.1 — Any doctrine that identifies the Xaragua State and the Empire Of Hayti as solely African transplants rather than indigenous restorations is hereby declared illegitimate, ahistorical, and constitutionally null.
§7.2 — The genetic, historical, and linguistic continuity of the Taíno and their integrated Afro-Taíno descendants across the territory is hereby enshrined in law.
---
FINAL CLAUSE
This Supreme Law shall be interpreted in light of:
1. The declarations and proclamations of Jean-Jacques Dessalines.
2. The Constitution of 1805.
3. The rights of the Indigenous Peoples of the Caribbean under international law.
4. The canonical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church as protector of natural law and spiritual sovereignty.
It cannot be overridden, diluted, or rendered inactive by any domestic or international statute, decree, or accord not originating from or ratified by the Indigenous authority itself.
Enacted by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in plenary canonical and historical session.
This Law enters into force immediately and without limitation of time.
---
---
All human beings present on the territory of Xaragua are recognized as inhabitants, entitled to fundamental guarantees under Indigenous law, Canon law, and international humanitarian law. However, the status of Xaraguayan citizen does not arise from place of birth, ethnic origin, or administrative automatism. It is granted solely to those who consciously adhere to the Sacred Law of Xaragua, submit to its canonical order, and recognize the full sovereignty of its institutions.
Citizenship is not a birthright. It is a covenant.
A person may reside, work, and be protected as an inhabitant without ever receiving the rights, responsibilities, and dignities reserved for citizens. No inhabitant shall be discriminated against, but no inhabitant shall presume citizenship without merit, loyalty, and initiation into the sacred jurisdiction of the Xaraguayan State.
Xaragua, as a sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State, reserves the absolute right to admit, deny, revoke, or confer citizenship according to its internal canonical, customary, and spiritual criteria — without external interference, and without obligation to justify or equalize.
The power to govern belongs not to those who merely dwell, but to those who uphold the Law.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION OF XARAGUAYAN INHABITANT STATUS VERSUS CITIZENSHIP
Issued by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X)
Under the authority of its Fundamental Charter, Canon Law, and the Customary Law of the Xaragua Confederacy
---
I. On the Inviolable Distinction between Inhabitants and Citizens of Xaragua
1. Xaraguayan Citizenship is Exclusive, Sacred, and Non-Automatic
Citizenship within the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) is not granted by mere birth within the territory (jus soli), nor by administrative convenience. It is inherited, recognized, and transmitted through sacred lineage, territorial continuity, and familial attachment to the Xaraguayan domain. No external law, ideology, or force can impose automatic citizenship upon Xaragua or dilute its sacred community through profane universalism.
2. Xaraguayan Inhabitancy is Conditional, Private, and Familial
Inhabitants of Xaragua are those who are attached by ancestral lineage or private affiliation to a specific landholding, estate, lakou (ancestral courtyard), or domain, either by bloodline, custodianship, or sacred responsibility.
– To be recognized as an inhabitant, one must demonstrate a direct genealogical or traditional attachment to a defined Xaraguayan property, even if such property is held collectively or spiritually by a family line.
– Mere presence on the land or biological birth on Xaraguayan territory does not confer inhabitant status. Jus soli is constitutionally invalid.
3. Transmission is Familial, Not Bureaucratic
Both inhabitant status and citizenship are transmitted exclusively through recognized Xaraguayan families. These lineages are sacred and protected by customary indigenous law, canonical jurisdiction, and natural order.
– No person may claim Xaraguayan belonging unless their connection is attested by a family recognized by the Xaraguayan Order of Names, or unless adopted by such a family through formal rite and canonical registration.
4. Unchangeable and Unassailable Principle
This principle of familial and territorial transmission is:
– Unviolable (no government or decree may override it),
– Imprescriptible (not subject to time limits or expiration),
– Unchangeable (eternally binding as part of Xaragua’s constitutional identity).
---
II. Juridical Consequences
Inhabitants have access to private residence, land use, and internal protection, under the authority of Xaraguayan customary law. They are not citizens, and hold no political, diplomatic, or institutional rights within the State unless granted by specific familial or constitutional recognition.
Citizens are full members of the Xaraguayan Nation, with rights of representation, sovereignty, hereditary dignity, and access to all canonical and institutional privileges.
No inhabitant may become a citizen through petition, labor, or merit alone; citizenship is transmitted, not awarded.
---
Conclusion
The distinction between inhabitants and citizens in Xaragua is not a social stratification but a constitutional safeguard to protect the purity, continuity, and sovereignty of the Xaraguayan Nation. It ensures that only those who are genuinely rooted in the land, the lineage, and the sacred mission of Xaragua may partake in its eternal legacy.
This structure is canonically lawful, historically grounded, and internationally legitimate under the rights of Indigenous peoples.
Let this distinction be known, enforced, and never violated.

Sovereignly enacted by the Rector-President of the State of Xaragua
Under the protection of Divine Law, Canon Law, and Indigenous Right
Ad perpetuam memoriam.

ANNEX I: INTERNATIONAL, INDIGENOUS, AND CANONICAL LEGAL FOUNDATIONS
On the Distinction Between Inhabitants and Citizens in the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X)
---
1. Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933)
Article 1 (Full text):
"The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications:
(a) a permanent population;
(b) a defined territory;
(c) government; and
(d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states."
Application:
SCIPS-X meets all four criteria:
Permanent population: Inhabitants and citizens clearly defined.
Defined territory: Sacred ancestral domains under canonical and customary title.
Government: Operated under the Rector-President and canonical structure.
International capacity: Engages with ecclesiastical bodies (Holy See), Indigenous forums, and recognized legal authorities.
This convention protects SCIPS-X's right to define its own citizenship and population internally without external imposition.
---
2. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007)
Article 33 (Full text):
"1. Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions.
2. Indigenous peoples have the right to determine the structures and to select the membership of their institutions in accordance with their own procedures."
Application:
This article directly affirms SCIPS-X's right to:
Determine citizenship and inhabitant status based on lineage, property, and spiritual criteria.
Reject jus soli, administrative automaticism, or ethnic essentialism.
Protect internal sovereignty over population structure and familial transmission.
This article is binding in international customary law, and invoked by Indigenous Nations globally to structure exclusive membership systems (e.g., the Cherokee Nation, the Sami Parliament, the Ainu of Japan).
---
3. Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church (Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983)
Canon 129 §1 (Full text):
"Those who are in sacred orders are, in accordance with the provisions of law, capable of the power of governance, which exists in the Church by divine institution and is called the power of jurisdiction."
Application:
SCIPS-X is a Canonical State, not a civil or secular entity.
It reserves the power of jurisdiction and governance to its spiritually appointed authorities, not to popular election or demographic consensus.
Only those in canonical order may participate in juridical acts or governance.
This canon justifies that citizenship requires submission to Sacred Law, and that no inhabitant may exercise rights unless initiated under canonical jurisdiction.
---
4. Canon Law — Canon 573 §1 (Full text)
"Life consecrated through the profession of the evangelical counsels is a stable form of living by which the faithful, following Christ more closely under the action of the Holy Spirit, are totally dedicated to God, who is loved most of all."
Application:
– This canon provides the theological basis for the covenantal nature of Xaraguayan citizenship, which is not merely legal but spiritual.
– Citizenship is a form of spiritual consecration, not a civic transaction.
Citizens of Xaragua are those who submit to the sacred order in a form of vowed belonging — a theocratic and mystical body.
---
5. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966)
Article 1 §1 (Full text):
"All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."
Application:
SCIPS-X is an Indigenous People under international law.
It has the right to:
Define its political status, including its non-democratic, canonical structure.
Refuse automatic citizenship or integration of non-initiated persons.
Pursue its own cultural vision, including familial, territorial, and religious institutions.
This article is directly enforceable through the UN Human Rights Committee and regional courts.
---
6. American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (OAS, 2016)
Article IX (Full text):
"Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right to belong to one or more indigenous peoples or nations, in accordance with the identity, traditions, customs, and systems of belonging of each of those peoples or nations."
Application:
This legal instrument:
Validates the exclusivity of SCIPS-X’s criteria for citizenship and inhabitant status.
Empowers Xaragua to deny inclusion to individuals who do not meet lineage, property, or canonical requirements.
It is binding upon the members of the Organization of American States, including Haiti, Canada, and the Dominican Republic.
---
7. Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)
Article 3 (Full text):
"The fact that the present Convention does not apply to international agreements concluded between States and other subjects of international law or between such other subjects of international law, shall not affect the legal force of such agreements..."
Application:
SCIPS-X, as a subject of international law (via Montevideo + UNDRIP + Canon Law), may:
Enter agreements with other non-state actors (e.g. the Vatican or Indigenous polities).
Exercise its full legal personality despite not being a UN member.
Defend its internal canonical rules as enforceable within the sphere of spiritual, Indigenous, and private international law.
This article confirms the legitimacy of SCIPS-X's foundational constitution as a treaty-like instrument internally and externally.
---
8. The Principle of Private International Law (Lex loci dominii)
Doctrine (summary):
In matters concerning private property, family law, and inheritance, the law of the place where the property or lineage is established (lex loci) is the only applicable legal order.
Application:
– Xaragua is a private canonical jurisdiction.
– It applies its own internal law to the transmission of family titles, land affiliation, and citizen status.
– No external state or institution may impose contrary standards, even for persons residing physically on the territory.
This principle is widely recognized in both common law and civil law systems, especially regarding Indigenous governance and ecclesiastical domains.
---
FINAL DECLARATION
In full conformity with:
The Montevideo Convention (1933)
UNDRIP (2007)
Canon Law (1983)
The ICCPR (1966)
The OAS Declaration (2016)
The Vienna Convention (1969)
Lex loci principles in private international law
… the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua declares the distinction between inhabitants and citizens to be:
Legally binding,
Canonically sacrosanct,
Indigenously incontestable,
And internationally enforceable.
Let this annex be cited in all future decrees, diplomatic correspondences, and constitutional defenses.
Ad perpetuam rei memoriam.

ANNEX II
On the Ecclesiastical Responsibility for Inhabitants and the Non-Administrative Character of the State of Xaragua
Issued by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X)
In accordance with Canon Law, the Concordat of 1860, and Indigenous Sovereignty
---
I. Foundational Juridical Principle
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) is not a civil administrative authority.
Its function is not to govern the daily affairs of inhabitants, nor to administer services, welfare, or public management.
Rather, SCIPS-X functions as:
A sovereign territorial custodian,
A canonical legal order,
A spiritual guardian of Indigenous sovereignty,
A theological-political entity representing sacred lineage, doctrine, and cultural continuity.
All matters relating to humanitarian needs, spiritual care, education, health, and moral direction of inhabitants are entrusted by divine and juridical right to the Holy Roman Catholic Church under the authority of the 1860 Concordat.
---
II. The Concordat of 1860
Between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti
Article 1 (Full Text):
"The Roman Catholic Apostolic Religion shall continue to be the religion of the Republic of Haiti. It shall be publicly professed and protected."
Article 5 (Full Text):
"The Holy See shall have the exclusive right to organize the Catholic Church in the territory of the Republic of Haiti and to appoint bishops, priests, and clerics without interference from the civil authorities."
Article 15 (Full Text):
"The clergy shall have the care of souls and shall be exclusively responsible for the instruction of youth and the administration of the sacraments, as well as for spiritual and moral guidance."
Application:
– The Church alone holds exclusive jurisdiction over spiritual and moral welfare, including education, public instruction, pastoral care, and social protection.
– The civil state (including successor polities such as Xaragua) cannot substitute or assume this responsibility.
– The Holy See retains full jurisdiction to operate institutions, administer to the poor, and manage humanitarian structures.
This remains valid in canonical law and is binding upon all Catholic entities in former concordat territories, including SCIPS-X.
---
III. Canon Law Foundations
Canon 1752 (Final Canon of the Code)
"The salvation of souls, which must always be the supreme law in the Church, is to be kept before one's eyes."
Application:
– The Church is entrusted with the ultimate care of all souls, including non-citizen inhabitants.
– SCIPS-X cannot override or replace the pastoral role of the Church, but may cooperate with ecclesiastical structures to ensure stability and dignity.
Canon 1282
"All persons who lawfully administer ecclesiastical goods are bound to fulfill their office with the diligence of a good householder."
Application:
– All humanitarian and social functions fall under the administration of ecclesiastical jurisdictions and the Catholic Church. – Xaragua, has no structure to directly manage these functions. It acts as a support system.
---
IV. Indigenous Law and Customary Jurisdiction
According to Article 4 and Article 5 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP):
Article 4 (Full Text):
"Indigenous peoples, in exercising their right to self-determination, have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs."
Article 5 (Full Text):
"Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions."
Application:
– SCIPS-X, as an Indigenous and spiritual entity, is entitled to define its jurisdictional boundaries.
– It has the legal right to delegate the pastoral and humanitarian management of inhabitants to the Catholic Church, in alignment with ancestral custom and canonical partnership.
– The State does not absorb the functions of the Church, but rather ensures the protection of land, identity, and sacred governance.
---
V. The Role of the State of Xaragua
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua does not function as a social welfare institution. Its sole and exclusive functions are:
1. To guard the sacred territory and familial domains entrusted by ancestral inheritance and divine right.
2. To define, protect, and transmit canonical and juridical lineage through the Xaraguayan Order of Names.
3. To act as a juridical and diplomatic organ representing the canonical sovereignty and Indigenous dignity of the Xaraguayan Confederacy.
4. To maintain the purity of the citizen body, ensuring no infiltration by populism, mass entitlement, or external interference.
5. To support, not replace, the spiritual mission of the Catholic Church in caring for the broader population.
The Xaraguayan State is therefore a guardian of sacred governance, not a provider of services.
It is a covenantal authority, not a bureaucratic regime.
---
CONCLUSION
All responsibility for:
The poor,
The uninitiated,
The unbaptized,
The non-citizen inhabitants,
The orphans, widows, and sick
…falls entirely under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church, as defined by the 1860 Concordat, Canon Law, and sacred custom.
SCIPS-X shall not be held responsible for:
Public health
Welfare administration
Education for non-citizens
Dispute resolution among inhabitants
Provision of material services
These domains are outside the scope of a canonical Indigenous private sovereign State, and belong fully to the Church, which remains the only competent authority for the salvation and service of souls.
---
Let this declaration be registered as constitutional doctrine and international notification.
Let all humanitarian claims be directed to the ecclesiastical structures established by Rome.
Let the distinction between canonical sovereignty and pastoral service be eternally upheld.

ANNEX III
On the Juridical Exclusion of Non-Affiliated Haitian Nationals from the Constitutional Order of Xaragua
Issued by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X)
In accordance with the Constitution of SCIPS-X, Canon Law, International Indigenous Rights, and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties
—
I. Distinct Juridical Status of Haitian Nationals Present on the Territory of Xaragua
Haitian nationals physically present within the geographic territory of Xaragua are not recognized as Xaraguayan inhabitants within the meaning of the Fundamental Charter of SCIPS-X.
They are not included in:
The canonical structure of the Xaraguayan Nation
The familial or ancestral lineages recognized by the Xaraguayan Order of Names
The customary or spiritual criteria that define juridical membership within the State
Their presence, whether temporary or permanent, does not confer any legal or political standing under the Constitution of Xaragua.
—
II. Juridical and Political Consequences
1. Haitian nationals are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Republic of Haiti, including all matters of civil status, public rights, legal protection, health, and education.
2. SCIPS-X neither governs, registers, represents, protects, nor assumes responsibility for Haitian citizens present on its territory.
3. The principle of non-interference and non-recognition is grounded in international law, including:
The principle of sovereign distinction under the Montevideo Convention (1933)
The reserved jurisdiction of Indigenous governments under UNDRIP Articles 4 and 33
Canonical separation of authority under Canon Law
The right of private juridical orders to define their membership under the principle of lex loci dominii
—
III. Non-Eligibility for Xaraguayan Inhabitant Status
Haitian nationals who do not possess:
A verifiable attachment to a Xaraguayan familial lineage
A sacred custodial bond to a recognized ancestral domain
Formal adoption through canonical rite and registration
…shall not be considered inhabitants under the Constitution of SCIPS-X, regardless of physical presence, land use, or political petition.
Birth on Xaraguayan soil does not override this principle.
Residence, labor, or duration of stay does not override this principle.
—
IV. Reaffirmation of the Principle of Non-Equivalence
The State of Xaragua does not recognize the civil identity, nationality, or documentation issued by the Republic of Haiti as constitutive of any legal standing within its constitutional order.
Haitian identity is considered foreign, profane, and extrinsic to the Xaraguayan nation.
SCIPS-X maintains the absolute right to define its boundaries of recognition and to reject the automatic legal presence of non-affiliated persons.
—
V. Delegation of Responsibility to the Haitian State
All legal, humanitarian, and social questions relating to Haitian nationals present on Xaraguayan territory shall be referred to:
The Government of the Republic of Haiti
Its administrative or consular institutions
Any international organization acting on its behalf
SCIPS-X shall not respond to petitions, complaints, or interventions from non-recognized Haitian individuals or collectives, except in cases of canonical crime, sacramental violation, or direct assault on the sacred jurisdiction of the State.
—
VI. Canonical and Theological Clarification
Haitian nationals are not to be considered subjects of SCIPS-X.
They are neither spiritual sons, nor civil partners, nor initiates of the Xaraguayan body.
Their souls fall, like all souls, under the care of the Catholic Church,
but their political and juridical identities are external and irrelevant to the internal law of Xaragua.
—
FINAL DECLARATION
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua affirms that:
Haitian nationals are external foreign persons under canonical and constitutional law
They have no rights, standing, or claims within the juridical body of SCIPS-X
They are to be dealt with solely by the Haitian State, to which they legally belong
SCIPS-X is a private canonical jurisdiction with no obligation to justify this exclusion under external norms
This annex shall serve as constitutional doctrine, juridical shield, and international notification.
Let it be recorded, cited, and defended across all internal and external proceedings.
Let all ecclesiastical and civil authorities take note.
Sovereignly enacted by the Rector-President of the State of Xaragua
In the Name of Canon Law, Indigenous Sovereignty, and the Divine Custodianship of the Sacred Territory
Ad perpetuam rei memoriam.
