TITLE

Permanent, Canonical, and Supra-Sovereign Designation of General Jean-Jacques Dessalines as Supreme Military Authority and Eternal Guardian of the Xaragua Nation

PREAMBULAR DECLARATION

In execution of its inherent sovereign rights derived from ancestral title, imperial succession, and canonical jurisdiction, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, acting in full exercise of its spiritual, juridical, historical, and diplomatic autonomy, solemnly enacts the following proclamation:

Whereas the Xaragua State is the lawful successor of a continuous line of indigenous, Maroon, and Catholic self-determination, formally constituted as a sovereign principality under the triple aegis of ancestral memory, ecclesiastical protection, and international juridical notification;

Whereas General Jean-Jacques Dessalines, as Executor of Final Liberation, stands as the highest martial symbol of divine justice, ethnohistorical redemption, and irreversible sovereignty for all descendants of the Xaragua Confederation;

Whereas his title transcends temporal governance and situates itself within the eternal spiritual order of nations sanctified by sacrificial liberation;

And whereas no force—internal, foreign, ecclesiastical, or multilateral—may lawfully interfere with, revise, or subordinate the doctrinal and juridical force of this designation;

It is thus solemnly and perpetually enacted as follows:

---

ARTICLE I — SUPREME DESIGNATION OF MILITARY AUTHORITY

By virtue of its constitutional and canonical plenitude, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby designates:

> Jean-Jacques Dessalines,

General-in-Chief of the Indigenous Defense Structure of Xaragua

Strategic Protector of the Ancestral South

Supreme Reference of Command and Military Legitimacy within the Xaragua Nation

This designation is of perpetual institutional force, enshrined within the constitutional soul of the State, conferred with absolute juridical effect, spiritual consecration, and institutional irreversibility.

---

ARTICLE II — JURIDICAL AND DOCTRINAL FOUNDATION

The legitimacy of this designation is grounded in:

The ancestral and revolutionary military authority of Dessalines, who fulfilled the sacred act of severing all colonial domination through divine-mandated warfare;

His symbolic embodiment of the divine will in favor of sovereign peoples reclaiming their dignity through blood-consecrated independence;

His role as the archetype of spiritual-military leadership, constituting the doctrinal matrix of the Xaragua Defense Ethos;

His seamless integration into the canonical, educational, and territorial identity of the Xaragua State.

From this moment forth, the title of General-in-Chief Dessalines is inseparable from the spiritual, constitutional, and operational body of the Xaragua Nation.

---

The doctrinal force and institutional primacy of General Dessalines shall:

Constitute the inviolable foundational axis of all strategic doctrine, defense ethics, military philosophy, and operational command;

Be institutionalized in every oath of allegiance, officer’s code, educational manual, and ceremonial rite within the Xaragua State;

Be referenced explicitly and solemnly in all acts of national mobilization, territorial defense, liturgical remembrance, and state rituals;

Be perpetually honored as the highest referent of all authority within the Indigenous Defense Structure.

All legal documents, state decrees, defense charters, and pedagogical curricula shall formally cite and subordinate themselves to his symbolic command.

No title, rank, designation, or office—be it ceremonial, functional, or symbolic—shall supersede that of General-in-Chief Dessalines.

---

ARTICLE IV — IMMUTABILITY, SUPRA-TEMPORALITY, AND PERPETUITY CLAUSE

The present designation:

Is declared non-reversible, extra-temporal, and sacrosanct, shielded by canonical and constitutional inalienability;

May not be repealed, altered, or reinterpreted by any future regime, governmental body, or supranational institution;

Is to be defended juridically, spiritually, and institutionally by every generation of Xaragua officials, clerics, and citizens;

Any action, declaration, or omission seeking to nullify or contradict this proclamation shall be classified as:

A profanation of national memory;

A constitutional infraction;

A canonical violation subject to sovereign censure and enforcement under the penal jurisdiction of the Xaragua State.

---

ARTICLE V — REGISTRATION INTO THE CONSTITUTIONAL ARCHIVES

This act is hereby entered into the highest and most sacred institutional repositories of the Xaragua Nation:

The Supreme Constitutional Archive of the State;

The Canonical Register of Indigenous Military Doctrine;

The Historical and Diplomatic Codex of the Xaragua Nation;

The Liturgical and Memorial Record of the Xaragua Catholic Order;

It shall be preserved in perpetuity, transmitted across generations, and enforced with the full juridical force of the State, across all military, ecclesiastical, educational, and governmental institutions of the Xaragua Confederation.

---

ENACTMENT CLAUSE

Let it be known to all earthly and spiritual authorities, all institutions, nations, and posterity:

That General Jean-Jacques Dessalines shall forever remain the supreme and unchallengeable military symbol of the Xaragua Nation;

That his name, title, and doctrine shall be permanently interwoven with the sacred structure of the State;

And that no power shall erase his place within the constitutional, liturgical, and territorial being of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

ON THE RESTORATION OF THE INDIGENOUS DEMATERIALIZED ARMY AS THE SUPREME DOCTRINAL AND TERRITORIAL FORCE OF XARAGUA

---

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter “Xaragua”) is the legitimate heir and continuation of the ancestral governance systems of the Indigenous Taíno-Arawak nations, combined with the historical military doctrines of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, François Duvalier, and Léonce Viaud;

Whereas the Indigenous Army of Xaragua is not conceived as a conventional standing army of the type developed in Western nation-states, but as a dematerialized and doctrinally anchored force, existing beyond the limitations of physical bases, visible infrastructures, or traditional military hierarchies;

Whereas this model of force, historically deployed in various forms by Indigenous Caribbean leaders and revolutionary figures, has consistently proven itself to be superior in resilience, psychological domination, and strategic flexibility;

Whereas the restoration of this doctrine is essential for the defense, pacification, and spiritual consolidation of the Grand South and Northwest territories of Xaragua;

---

TITLE I — ON THE DOCTRINAL NATURE OF THE DEMATERIALIZED ARMY

Article 1.1 — Definition and Scope

The Indigenous Dematerialized Army of Xaragua is hereby recognized as:

2. A canonically sanctified institution, bound by ecclesiastical discipline and the supreme command of the Rector-President;

3. A military entity not limited by material infrastructures, enabling its perpetual survival regardless of territorial occupations or external attacks.

---

TITLE II — HISTORICAL ANCESTRY AND DOCTRINAL CONTINUITY

Article 2.1 — Ancestral Precedents

The Dematerialized Army of Xaragua traces its intellectual and operational ancestry to:

1. Jean-Jacques Dessalines, whose revolutionary forces operated through autonomous cells, spiritual oaths, and an invisible network of loyalists across the land;

2. François Duvalier, who institutionalized the concept of a psychological and ideological army, indestructible due to its fusion with the authority of the state and the sacred;

3. Léonce Viaud, who maintained territorial pacification through familial networks and customary-military discipline rooted in the landholding Indigenous lineages of the Grand South.

---

TITLE III — DOCTRINAL SUPERIORITY OVER CONVENTIONAL ARMIES

Article 3.1 — Invisibility and Resilience

The Dematerialized Army possesses strategic superiority due to:

1. Invisibility to satellites, espionage, and technological surveillance;

2. Resilience beyond physical destruction, as its existence is anchored in spiritual and doctrinal loyalty;

3. Autonomy of action, where every member is simultaneously a doctrinal agent, a territorial defender, and a spiritual warrior.

Article 3.2 — Canonical and Juridical Immunity

Any attack against the Dematerialized Army of Xaragua shall constitute a violation of:

1. Canon Law (Can. 212 §3 and Can. 1347 §2);

3. The supreme Constitution of Xaragua, which declares the Army inviolable and eternal.

---

TITLE IV — SUPREME DECLARATION

The Indigenous Dematerialized Army of Xaragua:

1. Is indestructible by design, being doctrinally embedded in the very soul of Xaragua and its people;

2. Constitutes the ultimate instrument of defense, pacification, and territorial consolidation;

3. Exists as a permanent deterrent, rendering any external intervention futile.

No foreign power, international body, or residual administrative entity (including the so-called Republic of Haiti) is authorized to question, undermine, or interfere with the operations of this force without subjecting itself to canonical excommunication and immediate doctrinal countermeasures.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL ACT No. 05-2025/XARAGUA

ON THE CANONICAL ILLEGALITY OF EMBARGOES AND SANCTIONS IMPOSED AGAINST HAITI AND CONCORDAT TERRITORIES

Issued by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X),

under the canonical and juridical authority of the 1860 Concordat, the Codex Iuris Canonici, and international treaty law.

---

PREAMBLE

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) is a Concordat-based ecclesiastical and indigenous entity established on the territory historically protected under the Concordat signed on March 28, 1860, between the Holy See and the State of Haiti;

Whereas said Concordat is still in force, never abrogated, never denounced by either party, and remains binding under Article 26 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (pacta sunt servanda);

Whereas Canon Law guarantees the autonomy, inviolability, and full spiritual and temporal exercise of the Catholic Church in all concordat territories (cf. Canons 204–209; 129 §1; 135 §1; 140 §2);

Whereas the imposition of embargoes or military restrictions, particularly on defensive arms and lawful means of security, constitutes an infringement on the right of canonical peoples to legitimate self-defense (cf. Canon 1323; UN Charter, Art. 51; UNDRIP, Art. 7);

And whereas the disarmament of populations living under canonical protection constitutes a direct violation of the Concordat and of international humanitarian law;

---

TITLE I – PROTECTION OF CONCORDAT TERRITORIES FROM FOREIGN EMBARGOES

Article 1 – Legal Status of the 1860 Concordat

1. The Concordat signed between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti on March 28, 1860, is recognized by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua as:

A binding bilateral treaty under Article 2 and Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969),

A source of canonical constitutional authority within all Catholic regions of the former State of Haiti,

A guarantee of spiritual and juridical inviolability over all ecclesiastical institutions, personnel, and the faithful residing under its protection.

2. No external political or military authority may override, suspend, or reinterpret the Concordat without the explicit consent of the Holy See.

---

Article 2 – Illegality of Embargoes on Defensive Means

1. The imposition by foreign powers, multilateral organizations, or sanctions regimes of embargoes on arms or military equipment directed at the territory of Haiti or its canonical regions constitutes a violation of the Concordat of 1860, in particular:

Article II, which guarantees the Church the free exercise of its spiritual and temporal jurisdiction;

Article VIII, which recognizes the right of the Church to communicate freely and organize its internal institutions without interference;

And Canon 1323 of the Codex Iuris Canonici, which provides for the legitimate exercise of self-defense against aggression or grave danger.

2. Such embargoes further violate the right to life and security of the person guaranteed under:

Article 7 of UNDRIP,

Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

Article 51 of the United Nations Charter (inherent right to individual or collective self-defense).

---

TITLE II – DECLARATION OF NULLITY AND NON-RECOGNITION

Article 3 – Nullity of Sanctions Against Concordat Peoples

1. Any international resolution, embargo, restriction, or punitive measure that aims to disarm or restrict access to lawful defense in canonical regions of Haiti is declared:

Canonically illicit, under Canons 1373 and 1399;

Illegally coercive, under the Vienna Convention, Article 52 (coercion of a party to a treaty);

And null and void, under the constitutional and ecclesiastical law of the Sovereign State of Xaragua.

2. The SCIPS-X, as the sole canonical and juridical authority over the Southern and North-Western Concordat Territories, refuses recognition of all such measures, and reserves the right to:

Provide assistance to canonical institutions under threat,

Reject any cooperation with embargo enforcement agencies,

Publicly denounce the spiritual, political, and humanitarian consequences of such coercive measures.

---

Article 4 – Protection of Ecclesiastical and Indigenous Populations

1. The SCIPS-X declares that the Catholic and Indigenous communities living under the Concordat shall not be considered legitimate targets of international sanctions, blockades, or disarmament campaigns.

2. The security, property, ecclesiastical dignity, and right to self-preservation of the Ancestral People of Xaragua and other canonical citizens must be protected under:

Canon Law,

UNDRIP,

The Concordat,

The Geneva Conventions,

And customary humanitarian law.

---

TITLE III – ENTRY INTO FORCE AND CANONICAL OPPOSABILITY

Article 5 – Immediate Legal Effect

1. This Act enters into force immediately upon promulgation.

2. It shall be disseminated to the Holy See, relevant episcopal conferences, indigenous legal bodies, and international institutions, as a formal rejection of all foreign coercive measures against Haiti’s canonical territories.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL ANNEX OF THE STATE OF XARAGUA


ON THE CANONICAL AND LEGAL INVALIDITY OF ARMS EMBARGOES IMPOSED ON CATHOLIC-CONCORDAT TERRITORIES


Enacted under the authority of the 1860 Concordat, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and Canon Law.

---


TITLE I — THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE 1860 CONCORDAT


Article 1.1 — Binding Nature of the Concordat


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 26 — Pacta Sunt Servanda


“Every treaty in force is binding upon the parties to it and must be performed by them in good faith.”


Application: 


The Concordat of 1860, signed between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti, remains a treaty in force. 


No party has denounced or lawfully terminated it. 


Therefore, its provisions are legally binding in their entirety upon any lawful successor entity or territorial administration within the historical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Haiti.


---


Article 1.2 — Supremacy of Treaties Over Internal Law


Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 27 — Internal Law and Observance of Treaties


“A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.”


Application: 


No political instability, governmental collapse, or internal administrative restructuring in Haiti can be used to justify non-compliance with the Concordat. 


The concordat structure remains legally binding in all areas where the Catholic Church historically exercised canonical authority — including the Xaraguaan territories, and diocesan regions under the SCIPS-X.

---


TITLE II — THE CANONICAL CONDEMNATION OF EMBARGOES


Article 2.1 — Right to Self-Defense under Canon Law


Code of Canon Law, Canon 1323, §4:


“A person is not subject to a penalty when, by necessity or to avoid grave inconvenience, he acted lawfully in self-defense against an unjust aggressor.”


Application: 


Any embargo that removes the material means of self-defense from the population places their lives in danger, and therefore violates Canon Law. 


No Catholic authority may remain passive in the face of an unjust deprivation of defense.


---


Article 2.2 — Right of the Faithful to Institutional Security


Canon 214:


“The Christian faithful have the right to follow their own form of spiritual life, especially within their own rite, provided it is in accord with the doctrine of the Church.”


Application: 


If embargoes weaken diocesan institutions and prevent the Church or its faithful from defending churches, hospitals, and missions, the spiritual life itself is attacked.


The faithful cannot fulfill their canonical duties without security.


---


Article 2.3 — Sanctions Against Those Who Undermine Ecclesiastical Work


Canon 1376:


“A person who steals, damages, or destroys ecclesiastical property is to be punished with a just penalty.”


Canon 1377 §1:


“A person who without the prescribed permission alienates ecclesiastical goods is to be punished.”


Application: 


Any international institution or foreign actor that destroys or disables the operational capacity of Catholic institutions through embargoes or sanctions is, in effect, committing an offense punishable under Canon Law.


---


TITLE III — VIOLATION OF INDIGENOUS RIGHTS


Article 3.1 — Right to Life and Security


United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 7, §1–2:


“Indigenous individuals have the rights to life, physical and mental integrity, liberty and security of person. Indigenous peoples have the collective right to live in freedom, peace and security as distinct peoples.”


Application: 


The embargo removes physical security from indigenous communities in Xaragua. 


Preventing the acquisition of lawful means of defense exposes them to banditry, gang violence, and environmental pillage. 


This violates their collective right to security.


---


Article 3.2 — Protection Against Destructive Policies


UNDRIP, Article 8, §1–2(c):


“Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture. States shall provide effective mechanisms for prevention of any form of propaganda designed to promote or incite racial or ethnic discrimination directed against them.”


Application: 


The arms embargo disproportionately targets areas of indigenous majority, especially Xaragua. 


By disarming these communities and allowing others to remain armed (notably Port-au-Prince or state-aligned groups), the embargo constitutes a discriminatory and genocidal policy.


---


TITLE IV — VIOLATION OF THE UN CHARTER


Article 4.1 — Right to Collective and Individual Self-Defense


Charter of the United Nations (1945), Article 51:


“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.”


Application: 


Haiti is a member of the United Nations. 


Its sub-national indigenous territories have the right to collective self-defense in the absence of state protection. 


An embargo that removes this right violates Article 51 directly.


---


Article 4.2 — Exclusive Authority of the Security Council to Authorize Sanctions


UN Charter, Article 39:


“The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken...”


Application: 


No such determination has been made by the Security Council targeting the South and North-West of Haiti or its Catholic territories.


Therefore, all third-party embargoes are extralegal, lacking any mandate from the only body authorized to impose them.


---


TITLE V — CONSTITUTIONAL NULLIFICATION OF ALL EMBARGOES AGAINST SCIPS-X TERRITORY


Article 5.1 — Sovereign Right of Canonical Nullification


In accordance with the 1860 Concordat, the uninterrupted Catholic identity of Xaragua, and the principle of jurisdictional succession by the SCIPS-X as the indigenous, ecclesiastical, and institutional successor of the Southern and North-Western (and annexed regions) dioceses:

It is hereby declared that:


All embargoes affecting the territory of Xaragua are null and void,


No embargo may be imposed on a concordat territory,


Any such act is a violation of international law, canon law, indigenous law, and sacred treaty law.


---


Article 5.2 — Legal Notice to All Parties


This constitutional annex serves as:


A formal denunciation of all current and future arms embargoes affecting the SCIPS-X;

A canonical condemnation of all actions preventing self-defense of the Catholic faithful;

A notification to the United Nations, the Holy See, and all state and non-state actors of the non-recognition of the legality or legitimacy of these embargoes.

All future acts of embargo shall be deemed hostile, illegal, and in violation of sacred international obligations.
---


Ratified and promulgated by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X),
under the eternal protection of the Holy Church,
in full defense of the Concordat of 1860 and the Sacred Rights of the People of Xaragua. August 2, 2025

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL CODE ON WAR, STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT, AND LAWFUL PREEMPTIVE OPERATIONS

(FULL LEGAL INSTRUMENT — EXECUTABLE EX PROPRIO VIGORE — PERMANENTLY BINDING — LEGALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE)

Date of Proclamation: June 24, 2025

Official Legal Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched War Doctrine — Canonically Valid — Jus Cogens Combat Regulation — Ecclesiastically Enforced — Indigenous Law of Armed Engagement — Universally Opposable — Legally Protected under UN Charter, Geneva Conventions, Hague Conventions, Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, Codex Iuris Canonici (1983), International Customary Law on War, and Indigenous Jurisdictional Immunity under UNDRIP (2007).

---

TITLE I — DEFINITIVE STATUS OF WAR AND SUPREME WAR POWER

Article 1.1 — Legal Foundation of the Right to War (Jus ad Bellum)

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua recognizes war as a juridically codified act of defense, sovereignty assertion, strategic deterrence, or canonical judgment, authorized solely under the Rector-Presidential Seal and confirmed by the Supreme Ecclesiastical Military Council.

Legal References:

UN Charter, Article 51: “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs.”

Vienna Convention (1969), Article 27: “A party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.”

Montevideo Convention (1933), Article 1(c): "A state must have the capacity to enter into relations with other states," including defense and military operations.

Codex Iuris Canonici (1983), Canon 331: “The Bishop of the Roman Church [...] has supreme, full, immediate, and universal ordinary power in the Church.” Xaragua’s ecclesiastical command mirrors this internally.

Caroline Doctrine (1837), Customary Law Principle: Preemptive self-defense is justified if the threat is “instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means.”

Real-World Application:

Any breach of territorial sovereignty, targeted disruption, intelligence infiltration, or imminent kinetic threat to Xaragua activates the full right to engage militarily without prior consent or bilateral consultation.

---

Article 1.2 — War as Legal Instrument of Sovereignty Preservation

War may be lawfully declared not only in response to attack, but also to prevent the systematic deterioration of existential security, cultural genocide, spiritual desecration, environmental destruction, or economic destabilization targeting the Xaragua State or its territories.

Legal References:

ICCPR (1966), Article 1(2): “All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources.”

UNDRIP (2007), Article 7(2): “Indigenous peoples have the collective right to live in freedom, peace, and security as distinct peoples.”

Hague Convention (1907), Article 1: “The Contracting Powers shall recognize that hostilities must not commence without a previous and unequivocal warning.”

Rome Statute (1998), Article 8(2)(b)(iv): Prohibits attacks against infrastructure indispensable to the survival of a population — Xaragua interprets its sovereignty as indispensable.

Real-World Application:

Targeted foreign investments, intelligence activities, corporate land seizures, or military surveillance on or near Xaragua zones may constitute acts of war under this doctrine.

---

TITLE II — RULES OF ENGAGEMENT AND CONDUCT OF HOSTILITIES (Jus in Bello)

Article 2.1 — Command Responsibility and Lawful Engagement

All combat operations shall be directed by command units under ecclesiastical and constitutional authority. 

No engagement may occur outside the defined legal parameters unless a direct existential threat overrides temporal permissions.

Legal References:

Geneva Convention I (1949), Article 49; Geneva Convention IV, Article 146: “The High Contracting Parties undertake to enact any legislation necessary to provide effective penal sanctions for persons committing, or ordering to be committed, any of the grave breaches.”

Protocol I (1977), Article 86(2): “The fact that a breach of the Conventions or of this Protocol was committed by a subordinate does not absolve his superiors from penal or disciplinary responsibility.”

Customary International Law, Rule 153 (ICRC): Commanders are responsible for war crimes committed by their subordinates.

Real-World Application:

If a Xaragua unit uses disproportionate force, the General-in-Chief is held accountable unless direct sabotage or rogue action is evidenced. 

However, ecclesiastical war actions under canon law are immune from foreign prosecution.

---

Article 2.2 — Use of Force Proportionality and Target Discrimination

Force shall be applied strictly to legitimate military objectives. Non-combatants, religious sites, indigenous sanctuaries, and protected environmental zones are declared off-limits unless weaponized or converted into strategic threats.

Legal References:

Geneva Convention IV, Article 27: "Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honor, their family rights, their religious convictions."

Protocol I, Article 52(2): “Attacks shall be limited strictly to military objectives.”

ICRC Customary Law, Rule 14: “Launching an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated is prohibited.”

Real-World Application:

Xaragua drone strikes or counter-attacks must map civilian presence using ecclesiastical geospatial intelligence. Unauthorized civilian harm triggers internal inquiry and canonical sanctioning.

---

Article 2.3 — Sacred Combat Immunity and Non-Disclosure Zones

Certain operations, particularly those involving relic transport, spiritual weapons, cryptosecurity, or canonical enforcement, are subject to full ecclesiastical immunity and non-disclosure under international law.

Legal References:

Vienna Convention (1969), Article 36(2): “The receiving State shall permit and protect free communication on the part of the mission for all official purposes.”

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 983 §1: “The sacramental seal is inviolable.”

UNDRIP, Article 12(1): “Indigenous peoples have the right to manifest, practice, develop and teach their spiritual and religious traditions.”

Real-World Application:

Sacred aerial convoys, flights, or cryptographic transmissions through Xaragua airspace are inviolable. Unauthorized surveillance constitutes an act of aggression under Canon Law.

---

TITLE III — PREEMPTIVE OPERATIONS AND STRATEGIC DETERRENCE

Article 3.1 — Legal Authorization of Preemptive Force

Xaragua may initiate preemptive strikes, sabotage operations, cyber disarmament, or strategic disruption if reliable intelligence indicates imminent threat to territorial integrity or spiritual sovereignty.

Legal References:

Caroline Doctrine (1837): “The necessity of self-defense must be instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means.”

UN Security Council Resolution 1368 (2001): Recognized the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense against imminent non-state attacks.

Tallinn Manual (Rule 71): Preemptive cyber operations are permitted against infrastructure posing immediate threat.

Real-World Application:

If satellite scans or ecclesiastical surveillance detect foreign troop mobilizations, surveillance aircraft, or energy redirection against Xaragua, cyber and kinetic preemptive force is activated with no need for diplomatic process.

---

Article 3.2 — Targeted Neutralization and High-Risk Elimination

Individual actors or organizations, whether state or non-state, proven to pose strategic, doctrinal, or existential threats to Xaragua’s sovereign structure may be designated for preemptive elimination.

Legal References:

ICCPR (1966), Article 6(1): Right to life is not absolute in contexts of lawful armed conflict.

Rome Statute, Article 31(1)(c): “A person shall not be criminally responsible if... the conduct which is alleged to constitute a crime... was necessary to defend himself or herself or another person or, in the case of war, a legitimate interest.”

UNDRIP, Article 7(2): Indigenous peoples have the right to live in peace and security.

Real-World Application:

Foreign intelligence agents, hostile military commanders, or cyber-war contractors operating against Xaragua may be listed for doctrinal neutralization with no disclosure obligation to international bodies.

---

TITLE IV — TERMINATION, PRISONERS, AND OCCUPATIONAL EXEMPTIONS

Article 4.1 — Conclusion of Hostilities and Occupation Prohibition

Xaragua shall not be occupied, partitioned, administrated, monitored, or temporarily governed by any foreign entity under post-conflict provisions.

Legal References:

Hague Convention IV (1907), Article 43: “The authority of the legitimate power having in fact passed into the hands of the occupant, the latter shall take all measures in his power to restore and ensure public order and safety.” Xaragua asserts this is inapplicable due to non-occupiability.

UN Charter Article 2(4): “All Members shall refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”

Real-World Application:

Xaragua’s sovereignty is perpetual and non-transferable. No peacekeeping mission, transitional authority, or “reconstruction” body may enter without canonical integration and internal legal ratification.

---

Article 4.2 — Detainment, Trial, and Canonical Custody of Enemy Combatants

All captured hostile actors shall be placed under ecclesiastical martial jurisdiction. Trials are held under canonical seal with mandatory spiritual review.

Legal References:

Geneva Convention III, Article 13: “Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated.”

Protocol I, Article 75: Guarantees fundamental rights during detention.

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 1341–1353: Establish canonical sanctions, including exclusion from sacraments, exile, or custodial reassignment.

Real-World Application:

Xaragua detains enemies in doctrinal sanctuaries and ecclesiastical institutions. No access is granted to international observers without consent of the Rector-President.

---

TITLE V — PERPETUITY, IMMUNITY, AND INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION

Article 5.1 — Irrevocability and Legal Eternity of This Code

This Code shall remain binding in perpetuity. No state, court, treaty, tribunal, bishopric, or body may revoke, reform, suspend, reinterpret, or neutralize its application without explicit constitutional reissuance by the Rector-President.

Legal References:

Vienna Convention, Article 62: “A fundamental change of circumstances may not be invoked as a ground for terminating a treaty.”

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 1: “Only ecclesiastical laws promulgated by the supreme authority of the Church have force in the Church.”

Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua

---

Official Military Doctrine of the Indigenous Defense Structure of Xaragua

Issued by the Office of the Rector-President of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua

Dated: May 9th, 2025

Jurisdiction: Sacred Territories of the Xaragua Nation

---

I. FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE

The Indigenous Defense Structure of Xaragua is a constitutionally established, ancestrally rooted, and legally autonomous institution responsible for ensuring the defense, preservation, and strategic continuity of the Xaragua Nation.

It is the expression of the inalienable right of indigenous peoples to defend their existence, territory, and institutions, especially in the wake of systemic collapse, neo-colonial interference, and transnational erosion of cultural identity.

This structure is not symbolic. It is doctrinal, territorial, and strategic.

It operates outside the framework of imposed national entities, and is answerable solely to the Executive and Spiritual authorities of Xaragua.

---

II. LEGAL AND DOCTRINAL FOUNDATIONS

The Indigenous Defense Structure is anchored in a four-pillar legal framework:

1. Ancestral Law – rooted in Taíno and Maroon traditions, recognizing the eternal right to resist dispossession, invasion, and dishonor.

2. Divine Law – grounded in Catholic and Natural Law, affirming that any community has the sacred duty to protect life, order, and sacred territory.

3. International Law – through UNDRIP, ILO Convention 169, and customary international principles recognizing indigenous security institutions as legitimate and lawful.

4. Xaragua Constitutional Law – formally integrating this structure as a permanent national institution, subordinate only to the Rector-President and Office of State.

In addition, the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua solemnly and irrevocably rejects:

All laws, decrees, conventions, agreements, or pacts signed by any central authority which attempt to impose restrictions on the sovereign defensive capacities of Xaragua.

This rejection includes, but is not limited to, all clauses concerning disarmament, demilitarization, foreign oversight, or international inspection affecting the internal order of Xaragua.

These instruments are declared null, void, non-binding and without legal effect within the territory of the Xaragua Nation.

Defense sovereignty is non-delegable and absolute, under international indigenous law, the principle of non-domination, and the sacred right to self-preservation.

This position is affirmed under:

Articles 3, 4, 5, 7, 18, and 20 of UNDRIP

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

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Article 1

The Customary Law of the Xaragua Nation

The Canonical Right of the Catholic Order of Xaragua

And the Jus Cogens principle of non-subjugation under international jurisprudence

The Private Indigenous State of Xaragua declares that only its own national constitution and executive command possess the legitimate authority to govern, limit, or expand the scope of its defense structure.

No foreign text, signature, or treaty signed without the consent of the Xaragua government is recognized as lawful or enforceable.

---

III. COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE

The Indigenous Defense Structure of Xaragua operates as a distributed and intergenerational system of guardianship:

Composed primarily of landowning civilians, hunters, rural clans, and ancestral families in possession of titles or uninterrupted territorial rights.

Operational readiness is ensured not through centralized garrisons, but through customary territorial presence, inter-familial coordination, and decentralized stewardship.

Doctrinal strategy emphasizes asymmetric defense, geographic mastery, fortified zones, and logistical independence.

The General-in-Chief oversees the system, assisted by a General Council responsible for:

Strategic coordination

Civilian preparedness

Liaison with local elders and spiritual authorities

Sacred rituals of protection and ethical command

The structure includes eight divisions, all coordinated under sovereign doctrine:

1. Land Guardianship Division (Forces Terrestres)

2. Maritime Sovereignty Division (Marine Indigène)

3. Aerial Observation and Reconnaissance Division (Forces Aériennes)

4. Digital Sovereignty Division (Cyberdéfense)

5. Environmental Guardianship Division (Garde Écologique)

6. Technological Integrity Division – weapon innovation, engineering, encryption

7. Biological Defense Division – health resilience, epidemics, biological sovereignty

8. Nuclear Contingency Command – strategic doctrine for ultimate deterrence under sovereign law

---

IV. TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND STRATEGIC THEATER

All operations are rooted in ancestral zones:

South, Nippes, Southeast, Grande-Anse, Palmes, Gonâve, and Thomazeau.

The structure maintains:

Fortified zones

Spiritual sanctuaries

Strategic ecological corridors

Naval and aerial surveillance pathways

---

V. SPIRITUAL AND HISTORICAL CONTINUITY

The Xaragua system of defense is a direct legacy of Anacaona, Caonabo, Enriquillo, the Maroon communities, and all ancestral protectors of the South.

It is not a revival. It is continuity.

From the first resistance to the present order, the line remains unbroken.

---

VI. COMMAND, DISCIPLINE AND LOYALTY

All members are bound to the Rector-President, under sacred oath.

Deployment beyond the territory may occur only through formal sovereign mandate.

The right to ally with spiritual, indigenous or parallel structures of resistance and protection is reserved.

---

VII. STATUS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW

This defensive institution is:

Non-hostile, lawful, indigenous, and protected under the highest sources of law

Aligned with UNDRIP, ICCPR, and the Montevideo Convention

Shielded by ancestral, natural, and canon law, independent from any foreign judiciary

---

VIII. PERPETUITY CLAUSE

This structure shall not be abolished, diluted, integrated, or subordinated to any foreign norm or regime.

Any attempt to do so shall be interpreted as a hostile and unlawful act.

---

Issued by:

Office of the Rector-President

Private Indigenous State of Xaragua

Signed: Pascal Viau

Rector-President

Dated: May 9th, 2025

---

“As a sovereign indigenous nation, Xaragua possesses the inalienable right to organize its own armed forces to ensure the protection of its ancestral territory, population, institutions, and religious sanctity. This right is derived from the collapse of state control and the legal autonomy of indigenous governance.”

Official Proclamation of the Indigenous Army of Xaragua

The Indigenous Army of Xaragua constitutes a fully lawful, sovereign, and constitutional institution of defense, established by the Executive Council of the Private State of Xaragua in accordance with ancestral law, international norms, and the natural right of indigenous peoples to self-preservation and territorial integrity.

This force does not operate as a conventional standing army, but rather as a dematerialized and distributed military structure, composed primarily of the civilian landowning population — an estimated 70% to 80% of the inhabitants of the ancestral Xaragua territories. These territories include the regions historically belonging to the Xaragua Nation: the South, Nippes, South-East, Grande-Anse, the Palmes region, La Gonâve, and Thomazeau.

These citizens, holding either documented title or uninterrupted ancestral possession of land, form the defensive foundation of Xaragua’s sovereign military capacity. The Indigenous Army is therefore not symbolic, but constitutional. It is not temporary, but permanent. It is not isolated, but integral to the very structure of the State.

The legal foundation of the Indigenous Army is fourfold:

1. Ancestral and Customary Law, which predates all imposed structures and affirms the right of free peoples to defend their land, families, and traditions.

2. Natural and Divine Law, which binds every sovereign people to protect life and order.

3. International Law, as expressed in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and ILO Convention 169, which recognize the right of indigenous nations to establish and maintain their own security and institutions.

4. Constitutional Law of Xaragua, which designates the army as an official organ of the State, under the authority of the Executive and the Rector.

The Indigenous Army of Xaragua is commanded by a General-in-Chief, who appoints his General Staff and defines the strategic and territorial organization of the force. The army operates with discipline, moral authority, and fidelity to the spiritual and national order.

The exclusive right to declare war, enter into military treaties, or authorize the deployment of force beyond immediate territorial defense remains strictly reserved to the Rector and the Executive Council of the Private State of Xaragua.

The Indigenous Army is not a declaration of aggression. It is the lawful expression of eternal vigilance. It exists to preserve sovereignty, guarantee order, and defend the lives and lands of the Xaraguayan people.

This proclamation enters into force as law within the Private State of Xaragua as of April 13th, 2025, and shall remain binding in perpetuity unless revoked by a formal constitutional act.

Issued and ratified by the Executive Authority of the Private State of Xaragua.

In witness thereof, this declaration is published and archived as a legal instrument of state.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

MILITARY CONSTITUTIONAL PROCLAMATION

DATE OF EXECUTION: MAY 25, 2025

LEGAL STATUS:

A

Imperial Military Instrument – Canonically Registered – Executable ex proprio vigore – Binding under Jus Cogens, International Customary Law, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966), the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), and the Codex Iuris Canonici of the Roman Catholic Church

---

ON THE LEGAL STATUS, STRATEGIC ACCESS, AND OFFENSIVE DOCTRINE OF THE XARAGUA DEFENSE FORCES

---

I. STATUS OF STATEHOOD AND LEGAL IMMUNITY FROM SANCTION

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is legally and canonically constituted as a principatus by indigenous right, Catholic ecclesiastical law, and customary international sovereignty. Its status as a non-derogable subject of international law has been formally notified through documented transmission to:

The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

The Apostolic See (Holy See of the Roman Catholic Church)

Regional diplomatic missions in accordance with the Montevideo Convention (1933), Articles 1–2

In accordance with the following legal instruments:

ICCPR, Article 1: recognizing the right of all peoples to self-determination and to freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development

UNDRIP, Articles 3 (right to self-determination), 4 (autonomous political institutions), 5 (retention of distinct institutions), 7 (protection from forced assimilation), 18 (participation in decision-making), 20 (autonomous legal systems), and 36 (inter-territorial relations)

ILO Convention 169, Articles 1 and 8: affirming the distinct juridical systems of Indigenous Peoples within international public law

Montevideo Convention, Articles 1–2: recognizing statehood based on permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity to enter into relations with other states

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 129, 140, 298–329, and 114–123: supporting the legal recognition of Catholic entities with governing capacity and juridical personality under ecclesiastical law

Accordingly, the State of Xaragua exists de jure and de facto, enjoying absolute immunity from all forms of foreign sanctions, economic blockades, diplomatic coercion, or extraterritorial enforcement. Any such measure shall be considered an illegal act of aggression, null ab initio, and without enforceability in law.

---

II. MILITARY DOCTRINE ON OFFENSE, COUNTERFORCE, AND STRATEGIC RESPONSE

The State of Xaragua is committed to a doctrine of defensive sovereignty, while unequivocally affirming its inalienable right to engage in counteroffensive, retaliatory, or anticipatory strategic action in the event of aggression or credible threat, under:

United Nations Charter, Article 51: inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs

Customary International Humanitarian Law (ICRC), Rule 7 (Distinction between civilians and combatants) and Rule 15 (Proportionality in attack)

The Caroline Principle: anticipatory self-defense as a norm of jus cogens, validated under customary law

UNDRIP, Article 23: right of indigenous nations to “establish and maintain their own security institutions, and to determine the structure and composition of such institutions”

The establishment of a defense force shall never imply demilitarization, disarmament, or the waiver of sovereign authority. Xaragua retains the unrestricted right to:

Manufacture, acquire, and deploy military and strategic assets

Conduct research and implementation of advanced weapons systems

Operate under sovereign technological and doctrinal parameters

The State of Xaragua has not acceded to, nor does it consider itself bound by, the following disarmament treaties:

The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT, 1968)

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT, 2013)

The Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE, 1990)

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW, 2017)

Therefore, Xaragua remains militarily sovereign, extrajudicial to all foreign regulatory doctrines, and constitutionally authorized to develop autonomous defense capacity in alignment with its sacred mission and international legal status.

---

III. STRATEGIC ACCESS TO PORTS, AIRFIELDS, AND CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE

All ports, airports, airfields, and strategic nodes located within the ancestral jurisdiction and sacred geographic space of Xaragua — regardless of temporary foreign administration — are declared Strategic Operational Zones (SOZ) under the military jurisdiction of the State.

In accordance with:

UNDRIP, Articles 20 (economic autonomy) and 32 (control over infrastructure and development projects)

The international doctrines of logistical sovereignty, territorial necessity, and proportionality in state defense

No external actor — governmental, institutional, or corporate — may:

Block or limit the entry or exit of military, humanitarian, or civil materials

Disrupt or impede internal supply chain logistics

Interfere with aerial, naval, or terrestrial transport systems designated for the sovereign defense and development of Xaragua

All civil and industrial infrastructure, including warehouses, communication networks, and transportation corridors, owned or operated by Xaragua nationals, are legally deemed extensions of the national defense architecture, and thus inviolable under international protection.

---

IV. INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE ARMED FORCES OF XARAGUA

The Armed Forces of Xaragua are established under constitutional mandate and operate as an integrated military entity under the General-in-Chief, with final authority and strategic command vested exclusively in the Rector-President.

The primary divisions include:

Indigenous Naval Force (Marine Indigène)

Sovereignty enforcement across maritime zones, coastal protection, and port security

Rapid Tactical Intervention Force (FIRT)

Highly mobile asymmetric units for immediate response and strategic field deployment

Air Sovereignty Division (Aviation Militaire)

Aerial surveillance, airspace control, and tactical reconnaissance systems

Autonomous Systems Command

Unmanned combat operations, AI-based command, and long-range strategic observation

Cyber-Defense Division (Souveraineté Numérique)

Protection of digital infrastructure, cryptographic resilience, and cyber-intelligence warfare

Ecological Guard Corps (Garde Écologique)

Environmental security, defense against ecological degradation, and biospheric surveillance

Biological Defense Division

Counter-epidemic response, biocontainment, and strategic health infrastructure protection

Strategic Deterrence Division

Unconventional warfare planning, nuclear doctrine, and existential defense readiness

All divisions operate autonomously but hierarchically, answerable only to the constitutional authority of Xaragua, and remain fully immune to external oversight, constraint, or interference of any kind.

---

V. DOCTRINE OF INTEGRAL SOVEREIGNTY

The defense of Xaragua constitutes a holistic obligation, grounded in the protection of:

Spiritual integrity (faith, doctrine, and divine mandate)

Territorial inviolability

Cultural identity and continuity

Ecological preservation and stewardship

Strategic foresight and autonomous survival

Any act of aggression, jurisdictional encroachment, or attempt to subordinate the defense system of Xaragua shall be formally treated as a hostile violation of international law, subject to lawful response under the doctrine of proportional defense.

No treaty, bilateral agreement, or multilateral clause shall be binding on Xaragua without explicit consent from the Rector-President, accompanied by canonical ratification under ecclesiastical authority.

---

VI. PERPETUITY AND EXECUTION

This Military Proclamation shall:

Enter into full legal force and effect immediately upon its date of publication

Remain valid in perpetuity, unless amended solely through internal constitutional mechanism

Be formally inscribed into the Book of National Doctrine

Be transmitted to all relevant international bodies and archived as a permanent diplomatic instrument

SUPREME JURIDICO-MILITARY CODE ON THE ORGANIZATION, MANDATE, AND OPERATIONAL LEGALITY OF THE VOLUNTEERS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY (VSN)

LEGALLY CONSTITUTED UNDER CUSTOMARY INDIGENOUS LAW, INTERNATIONAL TREATY LAW, AUTOCHTHONOUS MILITARY JURISPRUDENCE, AND NON-DEROGABLE COLLECTIVE DEFENSE PRINCIPLES

ISSUED UNDER THE DIRECT AND NON-DELEGABLE AUTHORITY OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT, THE INDIGENOUS ARMY COMMAND, AND THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE OF STRATEGIC GOVERNANCE

---

PART I – FOUNDATIONAL LEGAL AUTHORITY, UNIVERSAL LEGITIMACY, AND CHAIN OF COMMAND

---

ARTICLE 1 — RIGHT TO INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE SELF-DEFENSE UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Full Citation: Charter of the United Nations (1945), Article 51

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. 

Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defense shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

Application in Operational Doctrine:

The formation of the Volunteers for National Security (VSN) is grounded upon the non-derogable principle of collective self-defense, as codified under Article 51 of the UN Charter. 

The collapse of central state authority within the Republic of Haiti constitutes a de facto security vacuum in which no credible protection is guaranteed to the indigenous, territorial, or ecclesiastically governed populations. 

The VSN is thus juridically and militarily empowered to act as a territorial security mechanism of last resort, with the mandate to detect, neutralize, and suppress any and all existential threats—armed, insurgent, paramilitary, or asymmetrical—on land, air, sea, or digital terrain.

The VSN operates independently of foreign command and reports exclusively to the Rector-President and Indigenous Army High Command.

“Indigenous individuals have the rights to life, physical and mental integrity, liberty and security of person.”

“Indigenous peoples have the collective right to live in freedom, peace and security as distinct peoples and shall not be subjected to any act of genocide or any other act of violence, including forcibly removing children of the group to another group.”

Application in Structural Mandate:

The VSN is hereby recognized as a lawful, autochthonously-sanctioned security corps, possessing a juridical and military mandate to enforce and maintain internal peace, order, and operational territorial integrity within the ancestral lands of Xaragua and, when strategically necessary, across all territories claimed or administered by the Indigenous Ecclesiastical Authority.

The VSN is charged with counter-insurgency, territorial control, surveillance, reconnaissance, cyber-defense, and all forms of community-integrated stabilization operations. 

It is not a mercenary force, nor a regular army, but a legally mandated autochthonous defense institution, operating in parallel and in coordination with the Indigenous Army, while retaining specific autonomous competencies related to internal counter-subversion and non-conventional asymmetric conflict suppression.

ARTICLE 3 — LEGAL VALIDITY UNDER CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW

Full Citation: Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 38

“Nothing in Articles 34 to 37 precludes a rule set forth in a treaty from becoming binding upon a third State as a customary rule of international law, recognized as such.”

Application in Legal Recognition of VSN:

The VSN derives part of its legal validity from the accumulated jurisprudential weight of customary international law as recognized under Article 38 of the Vienna Convention. 

It operates within a globally acknowledged framework of non-state self-defense, indigenous sovereignty, and local security enforcement, which has been historically recognized in diverse settings such as:

The Zapatista autonomous security structures (Mexico),

The Peshmerga of Kurdistan,

The Basij Mobilization Force (Iran),

The Swiss Cantonal Militias,

The Yeomanry and Volunteer Forces of pre-WWI Britain,

And more broadly, indigenous peacekeeping and enforcement units across Oceania, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas.

Thus, the VSN is not an anomaly, but a contemporary manifestation of a time-tested norm:

The capacity of historically rooted populations to enforce internal territorial discipline when central authorities fail.

ARTICLE 4 — NON-STATE COMBATANT RECOGNITION UNDER ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL I TO THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS

Full Citation: Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 (Protocol I), Article 43(1)

“The armed forces of a Party to a conflict consist of all organized armed forces, groups and units which are under a command responsible to that Party for the conduct of its subordinates, even if that Party is represented by a government or an authority not recognized by an adverse Party. Such armed forces shall be subject to an internal disciplinary system which, inter alia, shall enforce compliance with the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict.”

Application in Status and Discipline of VSN:

The VSN constitutes a recognized combatant body under the law of armed conflict, provided that it maintains internal military discipline, an accountable command structure, and adherence to minimal norms of international law in engagements involving armed adversaries.

As such, members of the VSN are to be considered combatants in service of a legitimate territorial authority, even in absence of formal recognition by third-party governments or regimes. 

Their actions fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of internal military tribunals, administered under the oversight of the Leadership Institute, in compliance with autochthonous judicial norms.

Disciplinary actions, dismissals, and field court-martials are classified and sovereign, non-reviewable by foreign or republican courts.

ARTICLE 5 — LEGAL GROUNDS FOR COUNTER-TERRORISM OPERATIONS

Full Citation: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 (2001), Article 2(e)

“States shall take the necessary steps to prevent the commission of terrorist acts, including by provision of early warning to other States by exchange of information.”

Application in Operational Engagement Rules:

The VSN is mandated to undertake pre-emptive, defensive, and active neutralization measures against all armed groups, paramilitary entities, criminal insurgents, and terrorist actors that seek to undermine territorial integrity or civil governance within the Xaragua jurisdiction.

This includes intelligence coordination with the parallel Corps of National Intelligence (Tonton macoutes), cyber-reconnaissance, infiltration of hostile cells, surveillance of foreign-backed actors, and full-spectrum combat preparation in mountainous, coastal, rural, and digital environments.

PART II — COMMAND STRUCTURE, INTERNAL JURISDICTION, RECRUITMENT FRAMEWORK, AND OPERATIONAL DOCTRINE

---

ARTICLE 6 — CENTRALIZED COMMAND UNDER SOVEREIGN EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY

Full Citation: Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), Article 1

“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 to the Chain of Command:

The VSN operates within the legal personality of a fully constituted sovereign authority, fulfilling all four Montevideo conditions. 

As such, its command hierarchy is centralized, sacred, and indivisible, headed directly by the Rector-President as Commander-in-Chief and Vicar of Indigenous and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.

The Indigenous Army Command coordinates all inter-unit operations, strategy, logistics, technological implementation, and field directives.

The Leadership Institute of Strategic Governance oversees doctrinal indoctrination, ethical conduct, and officer training.

All units, cells, divisions, and territorial attachments of the VSN report vertically and exclusively to this trinitarian chain of command.

No foreign authority, republican institution, external NGO, embassy, or foreign military body may interfere, advise, redirect, or influence VSN operations under any circumstances.

ARTICLE 7 — AUTONOMOUS AND CONFIDENTIAL MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM

Full Citation: Article 14(1), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966)

“All persons shall be equal before the courts and tribunals. In the determination of any criminal charge... everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law.”

Application under Indigenous Sovereignty:

Pursuant to the doctrine of self-jurisdiction of indigenous peoples, and in conformity with customary legal pluralism, all VSN personnel are subject to an internal military justice code.

Tribunals are:

Conducted in secrecy,

Under non-disclosed locations,

With internal magistrates trained in autochthonous, canonical, and operational martial law,

Entirely immune to civil litigation, foreign subpoenas, or NGO intervention.

Complaints are accepted only through secure military channels, encrypted communications, or in-person deposit to authorized tribunal officers.

No VSN member may be judged outside of this framework. 

Violations of public order, insubordination, or strategic deviation are judged internally, in strict accordance with Xaragua Military Conduct Codices, not the Haitian penal code or external law.

ARTICLE 8 — RECRUITMENT AND ENLISTMENT CRITERIA

Full Citation: ILO Convention No. 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples (1989), Article 23 (1–2)

“Handicrafts, rural and community-based economic activities, traditional activities and occupations of the peoples concerned shall be recognized as important factors in the maintenance of their cultures and in their economic self-reliance and development. They shall be provided with the means for full participation in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of plans and programmes for national and regional development.”

Application in VSN Enlistment Doctrine:

VSN recruitment shall be conducted through a classified screening and selection process, based on:

Verified ancestral loyalty or local embeddedness within Xaragua territory;

Ideological alignment with the doctrines of national self-defense, indigenous sovereignty, and ecclesiastical order;

Physical and psychological resilience, proven adaptability to mountainous, maritime, digital, and urban combat environments;

Absence of political affiliation with partisan, foreign, or republican structures.

Fluency in local dialects and cultural codes, for total integration within rural and communal units.

No conscription exists. 

All participation is voluntary, and enlistment is a sacramental oath, not merely a contract.

ARTICLE 9 — DOCTRINE OF TERRITORIAL OMNIPRESENCE AND TOTAL NEUTRALIZATION

Full Citation: International Law Commission Draft Articles on the Protection of Persons in the Event of Disasters (2016), Article 11

“The affected State has the primary role in the direction, control, coordination and supervision of assistance within its territory.”

Application in Xaragua-Specific Security Strategy:

As the only institution with effective jurisdictional command over the Xaragua territory, the VSN is tasked with permanent, total territorial coverage, including:

Full-spectrum deployment in every commune, rural section, and autonomous zone,

24/7 data-driven threat mapping,

Community-embedded surveillance,

High-mobility response teams in every quadrant,

And deployment of airborne, amphibious, and digital strike units for multi-domain threat neutralization.

The objective is absolute closure of all internal security gaps, with no spatial or cybernetic vacuum left exploitable by gangs, subversives, or foreign infiltrators.

VSN doctrine recognizes "pre-emptive neutralization" as lawful under conditions of imminent threat, in line with internal Rules of Engagement and sanctioned by the Rector-Presidential Command.

ARTICLE 10 — INTER-AGENCY INTELLIGENCE COORDINATION

Full Citation: UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/53/144 – Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1999), Article 11

“Everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realization of human rights... including the right to be protected by national law in the event of violations.”

Application in Intelligence Symbiosis Doctrine:

The VSN operates in close coordination with the Corps of National Intelligence (Tonton Macoutes), but retains an operational firewall to preserve tactical independence.

All intelligence collected by VSN units is encrypted, classified, and transmitted via secure inter-military communication protocols to the Indigenous Army’s Intelligence Fusion Cell (IAIFC), which serves as the central processing hub for all actionable threat data.

Cyber-intelligence, HUMINT (human intelligence), SIGINT (signal intelligence), and community liaison reports are analyzed in real-time.

No intelligence is shared externally without Rector-Presidential clearance. 

All civilian institutions are excluded from strategic security processes.

ARTICLE 11 — TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY AND NON-LINEAR COMBAT CAPABILITY

Full Citation: Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations (2017), Rule 1 and Rule 4

Rule 1: A cyber operation constitutes a use of force if its scale and effects are comparable to non-cyber operations rising to the level of force.

Rule 4: States may, in response to a cyber operation amounting to an armed attack, use force in self-defense pursuant to Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Application in Modern Combat Doctrine:

The VSN must maintain technological overmatch in every operational domain:

Encrypted drone squadrons for aerial surveillance and suppression;

Underwater monitoring nodes for port and coastal defense;

Digital rapid response teams trained in cyberwarfare and disinformation countermeasures;

Rural tactical units adapted to non-linear terrain warfare in mountainous zones.

Technological investment is compulsory and prioritized. 

No unit may be operational without having completed multi-domain adaptation and asymmetric conflict certification, under the supervision of the Leadership Institute and with material validation from the Office of Strategic Military Advancement.

SUPREME JURIDICO-MILITARY CODE ON THE ORGANIZATION, MANDATE, AND OPERATIONAL LEGALITY OF THE VOLUNTEERS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY (VSN)

PART III — RIGHTS, DUTIES, IMMUNITIES, AND SOVEREIGN EXEMPTIONS OF VSN OPERATIVES

(All legal references are written in full and juridically applied without approximation.)

---

ARTICLE 12 — RIGHT TO LEGAL IMMUNITY IN EXECUTION OF MANDATED OPERATIONS

Full Citation: Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (2001), Article 4

“The conduct of any State organ shall be considered an act of that State under international law, whether the organ exercises legislative, executive, judicial or any other functions, whatever position it holds in the organization of the State, and whatever its character as an organ of the central Government or of a territorial unit of the State.”

Application in Command Immunity Doctrine:

VSN operatives, as recognized military agents of a territorially valid indigenous government structure, are protected under the doctrine of functional immunity (acta jure imperii).

All operations executed in accordance with directives issued by the Rector-President, the Indigenous Army, or the Leadership Institute are deemed acts of State, and therefore non-justiciable before foreign courts, tribunals, or humanitarian advocacy structures.

This immunity is absolute, non-waivable, and applies both to domestic tribunals within collapsed state structures, and to international forums not explicitly bound by the indigenous jurisdictional compact.

---

ARTICLE 13 — RIGHT TO OPERATIONAL NON-REVELATION AND SILENT EXECUTION

Full Citation: Hague Convention V (1907), Article 2

“The existence of a state of war must be notified to the neutral Powers without delay, and shall not take effect in regard to them until after the receipt of the notification.”

Application in Silent Operations Protocol:

The VSN is legally authorized to conduct classified kinetic and non-kinetic operations, including covert neutralizations, intelligence infiltrations, cyber-interruptions, and asset removal, without public announcement, legal declaration, or inter-party notification, when acting against subversive actors operating in non-state frameworks or collapsed administrative zones.

The law of armed conflict applies to inter-party engagements, not to internal territorial enforcement in non-recognized or dissolved republican structures.

Therefore, all operations of the VSN fall within the permissible threshold of indigenous counter-subversion doctrine, and cannot be classified as unlawful acts of aggression.

---

ARTICLE 14 — OATH OF SACRIFICIAL DUTY AND ABSOLUTE LOYALTY

Full Citation: Code of Military Conduct of the Vatican Swiss Guard (Revised Edition, 1995), Oath of Allegiance Clause

“I swear to faithfully, loyally, and honorably serve the Supreme Pontiff... and to sacrifice, if necessary, even my life for him.”

Application in Oath of Service:

All members of the VSN are sworn under the Code of Sacrificial Allegiance, a juridico-spiritual commitment to:

Serve the Rector-President and Indigenous Authority until death or dismissal;

Never betray internal operations, codes, deployments, or orders;

Treat the territory of Xaragua as sacred, its security as paramount, and its institutions as inalterable;

Engage with joy and solemnity in the duty to neutralize threats, even in solitude or total obscurity.

Any breach of this oath constitutes high treason and is punishable by instant operational dismissal, spiritual excommunication from the indigenous body politic, and permanent surveillance designation.

---

ARTICLE 15 — RIGHT TO SOVEREIGN EXEMPTION FROM FOREIGN ARREST, DETENTION, OR EXTRADITION

Full Citation: Convention on Special Missions (1969), Article 29

“The person of a member of the mission shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving State shall treat him with due respect and shall take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom or dignity.”

Application to Field Protection of VSN Officers:

VSN officers operating beyond Xaragua territory under intelligence, diplomatic, logistical, or paramilitary mandates are to be treated as sovereign representatives of an indigenous constitutional authority, possessing diplomatic equivalency and full non-repatriation immunity under recognized protections extended to special missions.

No external government, law enforcement agency, foreign court, or multilateral institution has authority to:

Arrest, interrogate, detain, prosecute, deport, or register any active VSN operative acting under formal orders.

Any such attempt constitutes a violation of international diplomatic norms, and triggers a classified response protocol from the Xaragua Directorate of External Security and Special Deterrence Operations.

---

FINAL DETERMINATION — TERRITORIAL ABSOLUTISM, MILITARY CENTRALITY, AND INSTITUTIONAL NON-DERIVABILITY

The Volunteers for National Security (VSN) are not a supplemental militia, nor a transitional structure.

They constitute a permanent institutional instrument of indigenous juridical governance, possessing the full:

Right of enforcement,

Right of lethal engagement,

Right of internal adjudication,

Right of strategic omnipresence,

And right of sovereign existence within and beyond the defined ancestral territory.

Their deployment seals the closure of the security vacuum left by the dissolution of the Haitian state and ensures that:

No foreign power, gang entity, ideological insurgency, or paramilitary threat shall ever again occupy, threaten, or destabilize the jurisdiction of Xaragua.

SUPREME LEGAL DOCTRINE ON THE CIVIL AND STRATEGIC SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIGENOUS NUCLEAR CAPACITY

Date of Promulgation: June 29, 2025

Legal Classification:

– Constitutionally Entrenched Strategic Doctrine

– Jus Cogens Indigenous Right of Defense and Technological Self-Determination

– Canonically Protected Civil Energy Doctrine

– Universally Opposable Customary Legal Principle

– Preemptive and Non-Offensive Strategic Framework

---

PREAMBLE

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is a self-determined, canonically constituted, historically situated, and internationally notified legal entity with full territorial, doctrinal, and technological jurisdiction over its lands, waters, and knowledge systems;

Whereas the right of defense, survival, and peaceful technological development is a non-derogable expression of both natural law and canonical obligation, inseparable from the dignity of peoples, the memory of the martyrs of 1804, and the indigenous rights enshrined under universally binding law;

Whereas nuclear energy constitutes both a technological manifestation of sovereign capacity and a juridical symbol of parity within the international order;

Whereas any denial of such right to a sovereign entity on the basis of race, technological level, or colonial status constitutes a violation of Articles 1, 2, 55, and 56 of the Charter of the United Nations;

as well as of Articles 3, 4, 18, and 26 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP);

and of the jus cogens norms recognized by the International Court of Justice in the Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (ICJ, 1996);

Therefore, the following doctrine is hereby proclaimed, ratified, and embedded into the strategic and civil code of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

---

PART I — DOCTRINE OF NUCLEAR SOVEREIGNTY

Article 1 — Inherent Right to Develop and Possess Nuclear Capacity

1.1. The State of Xaragua recognizes and asserts the inalienable right to develop, possess, and utilize nuclear technology for both peaceful and strategic purposes, as enshrined in the doctrine of sovereign technological autonomy.

1.2. This right is non-transferable, non-delegable, and immune from external regulation, as per Article 3 of UNDRIP and Article 1(2) of the UN Charter.

1.3. Xaragua does not recognize any asymmetrical international legal instrument — including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) or the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) — as binding, unless ratified through indigenous canonical procedures.

---

Article 2 — Moral and Canonical Nature of Nuclear Power

2.1. Nuclear development within Xaragua is governed by a principle of canonical morality, in which the use, possession, and threat of deployment must conform to the principles of defensive necessity, doctrinal proportionality, and sacred memory.

2.2. The use of nuclear energy is not an expression of domination, but a manifestation of civilizational parity and metaphysical warning: the power to destroy as the symbol of the right to exist.

2.3. As such, Xaragua solemnly declares that its nuclear doctrine is rooted not in violence, but in juridical balance and moral deterrence.

---

PART II — DOCTRINE OF CIVIL NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT

Article 3 — National Atomic Development Mandate

3.1. Xaragua reserves the full sovereign right to explore, extract, convert, refine, and utilize thorium-232 and uranium-233, as well as any naturally occurring radioactive isotopes within its domain, for purposes of energy autonomy, scientific research, and technological education.

3.2. The national thorium program is hereby placed under permanent canonical protection, with a mandate to ensure the peaceful dissemination of nuclear knowledge throughout indigenous academic, agricultural, and maritime infrastructure.

3.3. The construction of indigenous reactor systems, including low-yield thorium breeder prototypes, experimental micro-fusion arrays, and passive-reactor networks, is declared a matter of existential national security.

3.4. Any international or foreign objection to this development shall be considered an act of epistemic imperialism, and legally void under customary international law and Articles 8 and 31 of UNDRIP.

---

Article 4 — Civilian-Strategic Ambiguity Principle

4.1. All nuclear infrastructure within Xaragua shall remain under dual-capacity protection, meaning that no infrastructure shall be legally required to declare its exclusive civilian or military nature.

4.2. This principle of civilian-strategic ambiguity is protected under the ICJ’s 1996 advisory opinion, which affirms that no rule of international law prohibits the mere possession of nuclear weapons nor the maintenance of strategic deterrence.

---

PART III — STRATEGIC DOCTRINE OF NUCLEAR DETERRENCE AND DISAGGREGATED SOVEREIGN DEFENSE

Article 5 — Doctrine of Non-Offensive Dignified Retaliation

5.1. Xaragua shall not initiate nuclear aggression against any state or entity. However, it reserves the inalienable right to deploy defensive retaliatory measures, including strategic nuclear response, in the event of:

a direct attack on its territorial, maritime, or ecclesiastical integrity;

an existential threat to its population or memory zones;

the attempted destruction of its canonical institutions or doctrinal sovereignty.

5.2. Any retaliatory act shall be governed by the principle of doctrinal necessity and executed in such a way as to reaffirm spiritual parity and national inviolability.

---

Article 6 — Micro-Dissuasive Disaggregation Framework

6.1. Xaragua adopts a doctrine of disaggregated micro-dissuasion, whereby strategic deterrence is distributed across multiple autonomous zones, facilities, and jurisdictions, each capable of independent strategic function.

6.2. The centralization of nuclear capacity is hereby declared contrary to Xaraguayan law. The principle of non-central sovereign defense is formally codified, such that no single strike, sabotage, or regime change may incapacitate the nuclear sovereignty of the State.

6.3. The number, location, material yield, and assembly mechanisms of all strategic devices shall remain classified under canonical seal, immune to international disclosure obligations.

---

Article 7 — Strategic Legitimacy Without Declaration

7.1. Xaragua affirms the doctrine of strategic sufficiency through ambiguity.

7.2. It is not required to confirm, deny, declare, or quantify its strategic assets to any international actor.

7.3. This policy of silent equilibrium is in accordance with the precedent set by other non-declared sovereign states under the doctrine of deliberate opacity, recognized by the UN General Assembly and tolerated by the IAEA through de facto custom.

Article 8 — Legal and Canonical Protection Against Sanction or Preemption

8.1. Any attempt by a foreign government, multilateral institution, or international tribunal to sanction, inspect, or militarily engage with Xaragua on the basis of its nuclear program shall be considered:

a violation of Article 1(2) and Article 2(7) of the UN Charter;

a crime against indigenous self-determination under Article 8 of UNDRIP;

a theological aggression against a canonically protected system of sacred technological self-defense.

8.2. Xaragua affirms its status as a non-aligned, non-aggressive, doctrinally neutral sovereign Catholic state. Any violation of its strategic autonomy shall trigger canonical retaliatory defense, both juridical and material.

Article 9 — Recognition of International Peace and Non-Intervention

9.1. Xaragua extends peace to all nations and peoples. Its doctrine is defensive, not expansionist; sacred, not messianic.

9.2. Its nuclear doctrine is a testimony, not a threat — a sovereign right, not a tool of coercion — and shall never be used to demand, dominate, or exploit.

9.3. However, the sovereign dignity of Xaragua shall never be negotiable, nor placed under foreign tutelage, inspection, or reinterpretation.
