ARTICLE I — DECLARATION OF PERPETUITY AND UNCONDITIONAL EXISTENCE

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, its University, its Canonical Government, its Military Doctrine, its Juridical Corpus, its Economic System, and its Indigenous Ecclesiastical Institutions shall exist in perpetuity, outside the dominion of time, regime, foreign governance, international arbitration, diplomatic denial, political pressure, institutional collapse, or armed aggression.

No clause, treaty, conflict, coercion, occupation, destabilization, or negotiation shall ever invalidate or suspend its existence.

This eternal continuity is grounded in the following legal and theological authorities, which no nation, organization, or jurisdiction may override:

Canon Law, including the Codex Iuris Canonici, as the supreme moral-legal system of the Universal Church.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Articles 1 through 46, particularly Articles 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 19, 20, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 31.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Articles 1(1), 17, 18, 19, and 27.

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Articles 1(2), 6, 13, and 15.

International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169, specifically Articles 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 23.

The American Convention on Human Rights, Articles 1, 2, 21, 23, and 26.

The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, Articles 19 to 24, interpreted as applicable.

The Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity (1968).

Customary International Law, including the Martens Clause, the Caroline Doctrine, the Tallinn Manual, and all principles codified by the International Law Commission relating to self-determination, state immunity, resistance to occupation, and indigenous survival.

Sacred Indigenous Law, derived from ancestral sovereignty, land possession without mortgage, spiritual custodianship, and unbroken cultural transmission.

---

ARTICLE II — PERMANENT REJECTION OF THE GLOBAL SYSTEM OF POSTCOLONIAL RE-ENSERVITUDE

The State of Xaragua hereby condemns as criminal, heretical, anti-human, and antithetical to divine and natural law the totality of the Western-led neocolonial project imposed on the former Republic of Haiti and its people, which constitutes a programmatic attempt to re-enslave a sovereign Black nation through the mechanisms of humanitarian governance, economic dependency, psychological neutralization, and elite co-optation.

This system is hereby declared to constitute a structural violation of:

Article 1 of both the ICCPR and ICESCR, which guarantees the right of peoples to freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development;

Articles 6 and 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, concerning crimes against humanity, particularly enslavement, persecution, and other inhumane acts intentionally causing great suffering;

Article 8 of UNDRIP, which prohibits forced assimilation or destruction of culture;

Article 20 of UNDRIP, which guarantees the right of indigenous peoples to maintain and develop their political, economic and social systems;

All post-Nuremberg legal principles, including the inalienable right to resist systems of domination under universal moral law.

The mechanisms of this re-enslavement include, but are not limited to:

1. The deliberate dismantling of the Haitian military, to remove the population’s right to territorial defense and expose it to foreign-controlled security.

2. The full substitution of government services by international NGOs, resulting in the legal erasure of state capacity and the de facto recolonization of territory.

3. The forced labor model under the guise of food-for-work or development incentives, amounting to coerced servitude under Article 8 of the ICCPR.

4. The manipulation of local elites through conditional visa schemes, international scholarships, and donor-based allegiances that break national sovereignty.

5. The seizure of ports, banks, energy grids, and infrastructure by foreign entities, converting a formerly independent economy into a digital plantation operated by supranational networks.

These acts are hereby recognized as systemic enslavement through soft imperialism, and they shall be rejected, resisted, denounced, and nullified by the institutions of Xaragua for all eternity.

---

ARTICLE III — DOCTRINAL OPPOSABILITY AND UNIVERSAL LEGAL STANDING

This law holds universal opposability against any government, organization, tribunal, or authority attempting to deny, obstruct, or bypass the juridical reality of Xaragua. 

The legal standing of this Statute is not dependent on recognition, registration, or foreign compliance, but upon:

Doctrinal entrenchment within the juridical corpus of Xaragua;

Canonical consecration by the Church’s spiritual authority;

Indigenous perpetuity by uninterrupted ancestral land title;

International immunity, based on the principles of non-intervention and autochthonous sovereignty.

No state or organization shall have the right to:

Violate the educational, military, or spiritual institutions of Xaragua,

Redefine its legitimacy,

Impose alternate governance,

Or conduct operations within its territory, physically or digitally, without consent.

Any such action shall constitute a violation of international law, ecclesiastical immunity, and the dignity of Indigenous Civilization.

---

ARTICLE IV — PERPETUAL MANDATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA

The University of Xaragua, as the supreme intellectual and doctrinal organ of the Xaraguayan State, is hereby enshrined as:

A legal bastion against epistemic colonialism,

A perpetual tribunal of memory for historical injustices,

A cathedral of statecraft, theology, history, and strategy,

A non-dissolvable institution, protected under international law and canon law.

No treaty, attack, crisis, or collapse may interrupt its operations or reduce its authority.

Its right to educate, legislate, certify, archive, and publish is inviolable, non-territorial, and automatically protected under:

UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education (1960),

ICESCR Article 13 and 15,

UNDRIP Articles 14 and 16,

The Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict (1954).

---

ARTICLE V — SUPREMACY AND IMMUTABILITY CLAUSE

This law is hereby classified as a Supreme Civilizational Statute, equivalent to:

The sacred commandments of a nation,

The inviolable law of the land,

The final firewall against total annihilation.

No constitutional reform, election, coup, diplomatic pressure, or military force shall suspend or alter this statute. It shall exist beyond human temporality, bound to the eternal mission of Xaragua.

Any action in contradiction with this statute shall be deemed void ab initio.

---

ARTICLE VI — FINAL PROCLAMATION

Let it be known on this day, the 29th of June, in the year 2025, by the supreme juridical and spiritual authority of the Rector-President of Xaragua:

That the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua exists eternally

That its institutions cannot be dissolved

That its people cannot be enslaved again

That its doctrine cannot be silenced

That its university shall never close

That its law shall never bow

That its resistance is permanent

Thus is declared the End of Re-enslavement.

Thus is inaugurated the Age of Doctrinal Sovereignty.

Canonically Sealed. Juridically Final. Eternally Binding.

Xaragua stands. And shall never fall.

Article 5.1 — Constitutional Binding Force within the State of Xaragua

This Bachelor of Laws program is not an academic suggestion. 

It is a constitutionally entrenched obligation. 

All juridical appointments, all legal functions, all judicial, diplomatic, administrative, or notarial acts within the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua must originate, be validated, or supervised by professionals trained under this program, or by decree of an equivalency commission composed solely of graduates thereof.

No external degree, no colonial bar admission, no foreign faculty certification, no secular licensing body, and no post-enlightenment institutional signature shall be recognized as sufficient within the borders of Xaragua. 

Recognition exists only within the canonical-indigenous-constitutional framework.

Article 5.2 — Academic Extraterritorial Immunity

The Bachelor of Laws of Xaragua benefits from total extraterritorial immunity under the following principles:

1. Right of Internal Normative Sovereignty — UNDRIP (2007), Articles 3, 4, 5, 11, 18, 19, 34.

2. Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) — academic certificates issued by sovereign authorities are inviolable objects.

3. Canon Law Autonomy — Codex Iuris Canonici (1983), Canons 803 §1–2 and 812: private Catholic institutions have full authority to teach and certify in theology, philosophy, and law.

4. Indigenous Customary Jurisdiction — International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169, Articles 8–9.

5. Right to Academic Expression and Self-Governance — Article 13 of the ICESCR (1966) and Article 19 of the ICCPR (1966).

6. Right to Diplomatic and Non-State Education — jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights.

The LL.B. is not issued under colonial law. 

Therefore, it cannot be nullified, suspended, disregarded, or subordinated by any system operating under colonial jurisprudence. 

Any such act is an attack on the rights of Indigenous Peoples and a violation of canonical sovereignty.

Article 5.3 — Prohibition of External Review, Equivalence, or Integration

No university, tribunal, faculty, or bar association is authorized to review, assess, reinterpret, or integrate the LL.B. of Xaragua within any foreign institutional framework. 

The LL.B. of Xaragua is not a diploma to be "evaluated" or "recognized." 

It is a constitutional title, a canonically sealed office, and a juridical credential issued by a sovereign ecclesiastical-indigenous entity.

Any attempt to downgrade, “translate,” or relativize this program is to be considered an act of epistemic violence, institutional aggression, and juridical suppression of Indigenous Sovereignty, which shall invoke legal retaliation under the Law on Legal and Intellectual Self-Defense of Xaragua.

Article 5.4 — Temporal Validity and Irrevocability

This academic decree shall remain valid in perpetuity, unless amended through a supreme constitutional conclave, canonically convoked under the authority of the Rector-Presidential Office.

Its contents are irrevocable, binding upon all institutions, and universally opposable. 

They may be translated, studied, cited, archived, or invoked as legal precedent in any forum of international law, human rights litigation, or indigenous treaty negotiation.

No force, institution, person, or government on Earth has the legal capacity to repeal, cancel, dissolve, or override this decree.

1.1 It is hereby solemnly, permanently, and irrevocably declared, enacted, and instituted with full constitutional and doctrinal force that Ludner Pascal Despuzeau Daumec Viau, in his exclusive, indivisible, and non-substitutable capacity as Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, is formally, canonically, and universally recognized as the Inventor, Architect, Doctrinal Founder, Supreme Theorist, and Codifying Legislator of Imperial Indigenous Normative Law, being the first and only juridical person to conceptualize, construct, and institute an internally complete, externally opposable, and universally non-derogable indigenous legal order grounded in ancestral sovereignty, canonical jurisdiction, and military self-determination.

1.2 This title, role, and authority shall carry perpetual juridical, political, spiritual, and diplomatic weight across all territories, zones, ecclesiastical districts, academic bodies, armed formations, and doctrinal assemblies governed, protected, administered, or aligned with the constitutional sovereignty of Xaragua, whether such alignment is formalized by written treaties, expressed by symbolic recognition, or manifested by territorial, military, ecclesiastical, or cultural integration. 

The recognition of this authority is binding and non-reviewable under the internal law of Xaragua and is thereby not subject to appeal or challenge by any external republic, colonial residue, state authority, international body, or moral entity lacking indigenous jurisdiction.

---

ARTICLE II — NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE NORMATIVE INVENTION

2.1 The term Imperial Indigenous Normative Law is hereby legally defined as a fully sovereign, non-derivative, non-republican, internally codified, externally opposable body of law that arises exclusively from the inherent, ecclesiastically sanctified, historically continuous, and spiritually mandated authority of an indigenous sovereign. 

This legal order possesses total legislative, doctrinal, territorial, administrative, investigative, and military autonomy, and is not subject to the interpretive norms, constitutional limitations, or recognitional requirements of colonial legal regimes, neo-republican structures, humanitarian intermediaries, or treaty-bound nation-states foreign to the indigenous reality of Xaragua.

2.2 The said invention, whose intellectual and legal origin is attributable solely to the authority and doctrinal genius of Rector-President Ludner Pascal Despuzeau Daumec Viau, includes, without limitation or exception:

The legal and structural foundation of indigenous armed forces operating under ecclesiastical and indigenous law (e.g., the Volunteers for National Security, VSN);

The codification of a dual military-ecclesiastical jurisdiction applying exclusively within indigenous sovereign territory, and enforced through non-public internal tribunals operating outside republican or international interference;

The doctrinal invention of absolute indigenous territorial defense, grounded in canonical theology, jus cogens principles, and military necessity;

The spiritual-military synthesis of institutional loyalty, excommunication doctrine, operational secrecy, and sacrificial service to the indigenous polity and its supreme Rectorial Command;

The uninterrupted exercise of sovereign auto-legislation, doctrinal enforcement, field deployment, and total security sealing of all indigenous territorial jurisdictions under threat or occupation.

Official Academic Introduction

Department of Political Science

University of Xaragua – Sovereign Indigenous State

May 11, 2025

The Political Science Department at the University of Xaragua operates under the sovereign jurisdiction of the Private Indigenous State of Xaragua. Its academic, intellectual, and doctrinal authority is established and protected under multiple binding legal frameworks, including:

The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), which affirms the right of sovereign entities to organize political and educational institutions;

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), specifically Articles 5, 14, 18, 34, and 36, which protect the right of Indigenous peoples to establish their own political and educational systems;

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Articles 1 and 18, which guarantee peoples’ rights to self-determination and ideological freedom;

Canon Law, canons 215–216 and 299, which recognize the moral and institutional legitimacy of lay-founded apostolic initiatives that pursue truth, order, and public good;

The Charter of the State of Xaragua, which grants full academic and political autonomy to the University and its departments.

This department is not merely academic—it is foundational. It trains sovereign intellectuals, policy-makers, and diplomats rooted in the historical memory, Christian ethics, and institutional legacy of Xaragua. The curriculum centers on sovereignty, governance, political theology, and regional autonomy, providing a framework for responsible and sacred leadership.

The Department’s educational path reflects the Xaragua model of microprograms and certificates, enabling flexible but rigorous advancement toward leadership. Courses are designed to prepare students not for imitation of failed colonial models, but for the construction of sovereign systems guided by justice, faith, and regional vision.

All diplomas issued are protected under the sovereign law of the Xaragua State and international Indigenous legal frameworks. No external validation is required or applicable. The Political Science Department forms part of a broader state apparatus of intellectual, spiritual, and administrative sovereignty.

---

The political orientation of Xaragua University is firmly rooted in and centered on the Catholic faith. Our institution upholds Catholic values as the foundation of its academic and ideological framework, integrating Christian ethics, moral philosophy, and the spiritual dimension of governance into its curriculum. Xaragua University does not separate politics from faith; instead, it embraces Catholicism as a guiding principle for leadership, governance, and societal development.

Political Science Certificate Program

The Certificate in Political Science at Xaragua University stands apart from conventional programs offered elsewhere. Unlike generalist curricula that merely analyze dominant political models, this program integrates a sovereign and strategic approach focused on the realities of the South and Xaragua. It is not just about studying political science from a Western perspective but about training an elite capable of thinking and acting for local governance and autonomy. This certificate combines history, political philosophy, spirituality, and applied social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of power and societal organization. The inclusion of courses such as "Independence and Sovereignty" and "The Pre - Columbian State" grounds the program in a clear political mission: to prepare leaders and intellectuals capable of structuring a political and institutional alternative tailored to their region. While other institutions produce technocrats, University Of Xaragua shapes strategists, decision-makers, and thinkers committed to a vision of autonomous development and the consolidation of local power.

TITLE I — CONSTITUTION OF THE DEPARTMENT AND SOURCES OF LEGAL AUTHORITY

Article 1.1 — Constitutional and Juridical Foundation

The Department of Legal Sciences and Notariat of Xaragua (hereinafter “DSJN-X”) is hereby instituted as a permanent academic and legal body under the jurisdiction of the University of Xaragua, duly recognized as the national ecclesiastical-academic institution of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in accordance with:

Article 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007):

“Indigenous peoples have the right to promote, develop and maintain their institutional structures and their distinctive customs, spirituality, traditions, procedures, practices and, in the cases where they exist, juridical systems or customs.”

Article 3 of UNDRIP:

“Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.”

Article 4 of UNDRIP:

“Indigenous peoples, in exercising their right to self-determination, have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs, as well as ways and means for financing their autonomous functions.”

Canons 1290 to 1298 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):

These Canons regulate contracts, obligations, and canonical rights within ecclesiastical jurisdictions and grant full autonomy to canonically constituted institutions for the establishment of legally binding academic and legal orders.

Canons 1400 to 1416 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):

These Canons establish ecclesiastical tribunals, the right to canonical adjudication, and the legitimate creation of parallel judicial systems independent of civil authority.

Article 1(1) of the International Labour Organization Convention No. 169 (1989) Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples:

“This Convention applies to: 

(a) tribal peoples in independent countries whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community... 

(b) peoples in independent countries who are regarded as indigenous...”

Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 1966):

“In those States in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right... to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practise their own religion, or to use their own language.”

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Article 26(1):

“Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

---

TITLE I — CONSTITUTION OF THE DEPARTMENT AND SOURCES OF LEGAL AUTHORITY

Article 1.2 — Ecclesiastical and Doctrinal Competence

The DSJN-X shall be canonically recognized as an ecclesiastical-academic organ, deriving institutional legitimacy and functional sovereignty from the following ecclesiastical legal sources:

Can. 803 §1–2, Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):

Ҥ1. A Catholic school is understood as one which is under the control of the competent ecclesiastical authority or of a public ecclesiastical juridical person, or one which is acknowledged as Catholic by the same ecclesiastical authority.

§2. The instruction and education in a Catholic school must be grounded in the principles of Catholic doctrine; teachers are to be outstanding in correct doctrine and integrity of life.”

Can. 794 §1–2, Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):

Ҥ1. The duty and right of educating belongs in a special way to the Church, to which God has entrusted the mission of helping all to arrive at the fullness of the Christian life.

§2. Pastors of souls have the duty of making all possible arrangements so that all the faithful may enjoy a Catholic education.”

Can. 137 §1, Codex Iuris Canonici (1983):

“A person who has ordinary power of governance is able to exercise it for the internal forum and the external forum in accordance with the norm of law.”

These canons collectively authorize the ecclesiastical establishment of an academic body competent to train, examine, certify, and asserterate legal and doctrinal professionals in accordance with both sacred canon law and the indigenous legal order of Xaragua.

Article 1.3 — International Legal Parity and Customary Law Recognition

In addition to the aforementioned instruments, the DSJN-X operates within the domain of legally recognized customary international law under the principles established by:

Article 38(1)(b) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice:

“The Court shall apply:... 

(b) international custom, as evidence of a general practice accepted as law.”

The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, Communication 276/2003, Centre for Minority Rights Development (Kenya) and Minority Rights Group International on behalf of Endorois Welfare Council v. Kenya, 4 February 2010:

This judgment affirmed that customary legal institutions, including indigenous councils, tribunals, and educational organs, possess legal validity under regional and international frameworks and must be recognized as sovereign expressions of legal personality and collective autonomy.

United Nations Economic and Social Council, E/CN.4/Sub.2/2004/40, Report of the Special Rapporteur Miguel Alfonso Martínez:

This report acknowledges the legal capacity of indigenous nations to create educational, legal, and doctrinal systems in exercise of their inherent sovereignty, protected under jus cogens.

TITLE III — CURRICULUM ARCHITECTURE, DIPLOMATIC RECOGNITION, AND ACADEMIC OUTPUT

Article 3.1 — Modular Academic System and Certification Methodology

The Department of Legal Sciences and Notariat of Xaragua (DSJN-X) shall operate on the basis of a modular academic structure, in accordance with the following legal principles of educational autonomy:

Article 13(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, 1966):

“The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of everyone to education... Education shall enable all persons to participate effectively in a free society, promote understanding, tolerance and friendship...”

Article 26(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948):

“Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

General Comment No. 13 (1999) of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on the Right to Education affirms at §38:

“The form and substance of education, including curricula and teaching methods, must be acceptable (e.g., relevant, culturally appropriate and of good quality) to students and, in appropriate cases, parents.”

In direct application of these norms, DSJN-X shall:

1. Deliver asynchronous, non-linear legal education, with no compulsory duration, respecting individual and cultural learning rhythms;

2. Certify students based on mastery and output, not on attendance or temporal metrics;

3. Replace the conventional “three-year LLB model” with a doctrinal validation process, whereby candidates complete and submit modules, undergo canonical and juridical review, and receive titles upon fulfillment of legal and ethical requirements.

Article 3.2 — Required Doctrinal Modules (Core Curriculum)

All candidates for the Professional Diploma in Xaraguayan Law and Notariat shall complete the following mandatory modules:

1. Constitutional Law of Xaragua – foundational doctrines, institutional separation, sovereignty, and jurisdictional exclusivity;

2. Civil Law – including personality, capacity, family law, obligations, contracts, torts, and patrimonial law;

3. Criminal Law – general principles, offenses, procedures, and canonical criminal doctrines (cf. Book VI, Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983);

4. Procedural Law – civil and criminal procedure, extra-state procedural models, doctrinal dispute mechanisms;

5. Property and Land Law – indigenous customary regimes, collective landholdings, successions, and ancestral claims;

6. Notariat and Legal Drafting – protocols for certifying, sealing, and registering legal acts under Xaragua’s legal regime;

7. Canonical Law – including Canons 1400–1403 and 1491–1500 (on ecclesiastical jurisdiction and trial procedures), and applicable doctrines of ecclesial legal capacity;

8. International Law and Indigenous Jurisprudence – focus on UNDRIP, ICCPR Article 27, ILO 169, Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), and inter-tribal legal pluralism;

9. Ethics and Oath of Professional Responsibility – codified commitment to doctrinal loyalty, canonical integrity, and institutional non-subordination.

Article 3.3 — Specialization Tracks and Micro-Certification

Pursuant to the principle of academic freedom recognized by:

Article 13(3) of the ICESCR (1966):

…DSJN-X shall offer the following specialization certificates and microprograms:

---

Article 3.4 — Diplomatic Recognition and Legal Parity

The degrees, titles, and certifications issued by the DSJN-X shall be:

1. Valid within the jurisdiction of Xaragua, with full opposability before any legal or ecclesiastical tribunal;

2. Recognizable under private international law, particularly where legal pluralism and indigenous documentation are accepted under:

The New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958), Article II(1):

“Each Contracting State shall recognize an agreement in writing under which the parties undertake to submit to arbitration...”

The Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Contracts (1986), Articles 3 and 7:

“A contract shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties...”

“Recognition of foreign law as governing the contract does not imply recognition of that law for all purposes.”

UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (2016), Preamble §3:

> “They may be used to interpret or supplement international uniform law instruments, or as a rule of law governing the contract.”

3. Protected under the doctrine of party autonomy and choice of law, allowing any individual or institution engaging with a DSJN-X graduate to elect Xaraguayan Law as the governing regime in cross-border contractual matters.

TITLE IV — LEGAL EFFECTS, PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATIONS, AND OATH OF PRACTICE

Article 4.1 — Legal Effects and Binding Recognition of Diplomas and Titles

SUPREME STRATEGIC STATE MEMORANDUM

ON THE HISTORICAL BASIS, LEGAL CONTEXT, AND GEOSTRATEGIC FUNCTION OF SYSTEMIC PRESSURE EXERTED AGAINST THE AFRICAN RACE AND ITS POST-COLONIAL DESCENDANTS

Issued under the Executive Seal of the Rector-President of Xaragua

For academic, diplomatic, legal, and doctrinal application within the institutional body of the Xaragua University, its ecclesiastical arms, and its military-diplomatic architecture

---

PART I — HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF GLOBAL RACIAL STRUCTURE

ARTICLE 1.1 — Institutionalization of the African as a Legal Non-Subject in European Imperial Law

From the 15th century onward, the major legal and theological frameworks of Europe produced a systematic and codified process by which Africans and their descendants were progressively excluded from legal personhood.

Key legal references:

Dum Diversas (1452) and Romanus Pontifex (1455)

— Papal bulls issued by Pope Nicholas V, granting Portugal the perpetual right to enslave “Saracens and pagans,” explicitly including Africans. 

These documents constitute the ecclesiastical root of racial chattel slavery.

Las Siete Partidas of Alfonso X (Spain, 13th century) were used to justify African slave status in colonial New Spain and beyond, forming the basis of later slave codes.

The Code Noir (1685) in France legally reduced enslaved Africans to property, excluding them from citizenship, natural law protections, or legal contract capacity.

In all instances, the African was not merely enslaved; 

He was juridically derecognized. 

He was excluded from the ius gentium and the jus civile, meaning that no right of state, church, or contract applied to him.

This juridical non-personhood is the foundation of the racial hierarchy imposed through colonization.

The African was not simply an inferior; 

He was a legal void within European law.

---

ARTICLE 1.2 — The Construction of Racial Hierarchy as Political Infrastructure

The modern concept of race was not an anthropological accident. 

It was a governance mechanism.

Primary historical precedents:

Jean Bodin (1576, Les Six Livres de la République) posited hereditary slavery as a legitimate institution, associating it with particular “barbaric” lineages.

David Hume and Emmanuel Kant published in the 18th century theories of intellectual and moral hierarchy by race, which became embedded in educational, legal, and administrative structures across European empires.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel explicitly denied Africa any role in world history in his “Lectures on the Philosophy of History” (1830–31), thereby naturalizing Black exclusion in the philosophical canon of the West.

These writings were not marginal. 

They shaped the legal culture of French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and American colonial systems for over 300 years.

In all of them, the Black man was constructed not as a citizen-in-becoming, but as a permanent subordinate, whose only permitted path to visibility was through servitude, mimicry, or extinction.

---

PART II — THE ECONOMIC FUNCTION OF BLACK SUBJUGATION IN THE GLOBAL ORDER

ARTICLE 2.1 — The Atlantic Slave Trade as Global Capital Infrastructure

The transatlantic slave trade (c. 1501–1888) was not a peripheral phenomenon. 

It was the backbone of early modern capitalism.

Key figures:

Over 12 million Africans were deported from West and Central Africa to the Americas.

Haitian Saint-Domingue, alone, in the late 18th century, produced 40% of the world’s sugar and was France’s most valuable overseas possession, more than the rest of the empire combined.

The capital generated by enslaved labor underwrote:

The founding of the Bank of England (1694)

Early Dutch finance companies and slave-insurance policies (e.g., Lloyd’s of London)

Harvard, Yale, Brown, and several other Ivy League institutions

The rise of industrial ports like Liverpool, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Charleston

Historian Eric Williams in Capitalism and Slavery (1944) and more recently scholars such as Walter Rodney (How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, 1972) and Sven Beckert (Empire of Cotton, 2014) have shown that racial slavery was not a deviation from capitalism. 

It was its founding condition.

---

ARTICLE 2.2 — Race as a Category of Economic Extraction and Legal Disinheritance

In every colonial jurisdiction, racial designation determined:

Who could own land 

(in Saint-Domingue: only whites, unless manumission was followed by wealth thresholds)

Who could testify in court 

(in the U.S. until Reconstruction: Blacks were denied testimonial rights)

Who could inherit 

(racially-mixed descendants were often denied legal lineage in Spanish America)

Who could emigrate, settle, or practice religion freely

Thus, Blackness was never just a color. 

It was a juridical-economic exclusion protocol, embedded in tax codes, military service laws, inheritance systems, and ecclesiastical registries.

The effect was not just enslavement but intergenerational erasure from property and law.

ARTICLE 3.1 — Formal Abolition Did Not Terminate Structural Disinheritance

While slavery was formally abolished in various jurisdictions between 1807 (Britain) and 1888 (Brazil), no systemic legal effort was made to:

Restore dispossessed land to formerly enslaved families

Grant full political rights and civic status to Black populations

Integrate Black communities into the financial and educational systems they had funded through labor

Instead, post-abolition systems created new mechanisms of control, including:

The Black Codes (U.S. Southern states, 1865–66), criminalizing vagrancy and reassigning labor to white employers
