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.
---
ARTICLE 2 — INHERENT RIGHT TO INDIGENOUS SECURITY STRUCTURES
Full Citation: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), 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 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.

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