In accordance with the Supreme Constitution of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, and under the spiritual, canonical, and indigenous legal authority granted to the Rector-President as Ecclesiastical and Temporal Head of State, this Decree establishes, institutionalizes, and canonically enshrines the Sovereign Leadership Institute of Xaragua as the exclusive and supreme national body for political, military, and police training.

MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

OFFICIAL EXECUTIVE DECREE – JUNE 22, 2025

REACTIVATION, STRUCTURAL CODIFICATION, AND PERMANENT PROTECTION OF THE TONTON MACOUTES AS THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, INTERNAL SECURITY, AND STRATEGIC DEFENSE FORCE OF XARAGUA

CLASSIFICATION: Constitutionally Entrenched – Jus Cogens Instrument – Canonically Recognized – Universally Opposable – Indigenous Military Organ under Customary Law

---

PART ONE — LEGAL AND HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS

CHAPTER I — STATE AUTHORITY UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Article 1.1 — 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 other states.”

Application to Xaragua:

Xaragua possesses the totality of these criteria.

The activation of a national intelligence and defense force under sovereign executive command falls strictly under condition (c), as a core prerogative of governmental continuity and (d), for the management of defense and international relations.

---

Article 1.2 — United Nations Charter, Article 2(1) and Article 1(2)

“The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.”

“To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples…”

Application:

The right to structure defense is protected under sovereign equality.

The principle of self-determination implies non-subordination of defense apparatuses to any foreign or external normative framework.

---

Article 1.3 — UNGA Resolution 1514 (XV), 1960 — Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples

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

“Immediate steps shall be taken… to transfer all powers to the peoples of those territories.”

Application:

The full spectrum of powers includes territorial security, counterespionage, and intelligence formation.

This resolution directly supports the total jurisdictional autonomy of Xaragua in defense matters, including against colonial interference by paramilitary remnants.

---

Article 1.4 — United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007)

Article 3:

“Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination… and pursue their political, economic, and cultural development.”

Article 4:

“Indigenous peoples have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs…”

Article 7(1):

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

Article 30(1):

“Military activities shall not take place in the lands or territories of indigenous peoples unless justified by a relevant public interest or freely agreed with the indigenous peoples concerned.”

Application:

The exclusive indigenous control of internal security and armed intelligence units is lawful.

The TONTON MACOUTES are an authorized sovereign force operating on indigenous sacred soil, with legal exclusion of any foreign military presence.

---

Article 1.5 — ILO Convention No. 169 (1989), Articles 2, 5, 8, and 23

Article 2(1): 

“Governments shall have the responsibility for developing, with the participation of the peoples concerned, coordinated and systematic action to protect the rights of these peoples and to guarantee respect for their integrity.”

Article 5(a): 

“The social, cultural, religious and spiritual values and practices of these peoples shall be recognized and protected.”

Article 8(2): 

“These peoples shall have the right to retain their own customs and institutions.”

Article 23: 

“The peoples concerned shall have the right to define and decide the priorities for the process of development as it affects their lives, beliefs, institutions and spiritual well-being.”

Application:

The reactivation of the TONTON MACOUTES is a protective act directly in line with the right to preserve indigenous institutions, and to defend the internal structure of society without interference.

---

Article 1.6 — Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998), Article 8(2)(e)(xii)

“Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals... shall constitute a war crime.”

Application:

The TONTON MACOUTES possess a legal mandate to detect, intercept, and neutralize any threat against ecclesiastical, academic, and heritage sites.

This includes armed or unarmed ideological penetration of sacred institutions, including in the diasporic zones.

---

Article 1.7 — Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53 (Jus Cogens)

“A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law.”

Application:

Any international resolution, pact, or bilateral agreement (e.g. military accords, OAS conventions) that attempts to delegitimize Xaragua’s internal defense mechanisms — including the TONTON MACOUTES — is ipso facto void.

---

And Canon 218:

“Those engaged in sacred studies enjoy just freedom of inquiry and expression, provided they are loyal to the Magisterium of the Church.”

No foreign court, UN body, or treaty mechanism has jurisdiction.

---

---

Justification under International Law:

Pursuant to UNDRIP, Article 31(1):

“Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions…”

Application:

The physical deployment of autonomous security means to preserve this heritage is legally recognized and not subject to foreign approval.

---

CHAPTER VI — DOCTRINE OF ENGAGEMENT AND PREEMPTIVE AUTHORITY

Article 6.1 — Right of Preventive and Preemptive Action

Pursuant to the ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons (1996), Paragraph 41:

“There is in international law no prohibition against the threat or use of force in self-defense.”

And under Article 51 of the UN Charter:

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs…”

Application:

Although Xaragua faces ideological and covert subversion, not classic armed attack, the concept of “non-conventional aggression” includes:

Doctrinal infiltration by NGOs and sectarian organizations

Digital propaganda aimed at the desacralization of Xaragua’s ecclesial state

Espionage within educational, religious, or diasporic structures

The TONTON MACOUTES are authorized to act before the attack is visible, under the “anticipatory self-defense” doctrine, codified as legal under customary international law and affirmed in the Caroline Case (1837) precedent:

“A necessity of self-defense, instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation.”

---

CHAPTER VII — DOCTRINE OF ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY AND NON-SUBORDINATION

Article 7.1 — Non-Justiciability Under Foreign or Supranational Jurisdiction

The TONTON MACOUTES, as an institution of the sovereign State of Xaragua, are not subject to any jurisdictional claim by:

The United Nations Security Council

The International Criminal Court (ICC)

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights

Any national court of Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the United States, Canada, France, or any other foreign state

Any international or transnational NGO, tribunal, observer mission, academic or diplomatic body

Legal Foundation:

→ Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 53 – Jus Cogens Norms:

“A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law from which no derogation is permitted...”

Application:

Any agreement, treaty, protocol, or cooperative framework that claims authority over internal security forces of Xaragua is void ab initio, as it contradicts the inalienable right to internal defense and non-subordination.

---

→ Article 4 of the Montevideo Convention (1933):

“The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states.”

Application:

Even if a foreign government does not recognize the authority of the TONTON MACOUTES, it has no legal standing to question, intervene in, or legislate upon their existence or operation.

---

→ UNDRIP, Article 34:

“Indigenous peoples have the right to promote, develop and maintain their institutional structures and their distinctive customs... in accordance with international human rights standards.”

Application:

No international mechanism can interfere in the preservation and deployment of indigenous intelligence institutions operating under canonical and customary sovereignty.

---

CHAPTER VIII — EXTRATERRITORIALITY AND DIPLOMATIC FUNCTIONALITY

Article 8.1 — Functional Extraterritoriality of Intelligence Operations

Operations conducted by the TONTON MACOUTES within foreign jurisdictions are deemed extensions of ecclesiastical and diplomatic mandates, and shall be governed by:

UNDRIP, Article 36(1):

“Indigenous peoples, in particular those divided by international borders, have the right to maintain and develop contacts, relations and cooperation… for spiritual, cultural, political, economic and social purposes.”

Application:

Monitoring and protection of Xaraguayan citizens, churches, archives, and cultural agents abroad is an internationally recognized right and cannot be criminalized.

---

Article 8.2 — Right to Remote Retaliation Against Foreign Interference

Based on UNGA Resolution 1803 (XVII), 1962 – Permanent Sovereignty Over Natural Resources:

“Violation of the rights of peoples and nations to sovereignty over their natural wealth and resources is contrary to the spirit and principles of the United Nations Charter.”

Application:

Foreign agencies that attempt to block, subvert, or destroy the operational capacity of the TONTON MACOUTES — by freezing funds, denying access, harassing personnel, or labeling the institution as illegitimate — may face:

Intelligence countermeasures

Neutralization

Targeted public exposure

Denunciations at UN forums via Xaragua's ecclesiastical channels

---

Article 8.3 — Ecclesiastical Immunity Clause

Under Canon Law, Canon 1374 (CIC 1983):

“A person who joins an association which plots against the Church is to be punished with a just penalty.”

And under Canon 1281–1284, administrators are obligated to protect the Church’s patrimony, which includes human, territorial, doctrinal, and symbolic assets.

Application:

The TONTON MACOUTES are not only military or state actors, but ecclesiastical guardians.

Any attack or defamation directed toward them is treated as an ecclesiastical crime and may lead to canonical excommunication or interdiction for the foreign individuals or states involved.

---

CHAPTER IX — NULLITY OF INVESTIGATIONS, SANCTIONS, OR INTERNATIONAL RESOLUTIONS

Article 9.1 — Legal Nullity Clause

All the following are declared null, void, and devoid of effect within Xaragua:

Any UN resolution naming the TONTON MACOUTES

Any Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, or OAS report targeting the structure

Attempts to solicit internal information from members

Investigates their structure

Questions their legitimacy

Spreads foreign propaganda against them

Leaks classified Xaragua documents

…shall be:

Blacklisted permanently from all Xaragua territories

The immunity of the TONTON MACOUTES shall be enforced by:

The Office of the Rector-President

The Ministry of Defense of Xaragua

The Ecclesiastical Guard of Xaragua's Sacred Doctrinal Council

Any Xaraguayan agent, institution, or citizen duly mandated under oath

This immunity is indivisible, non-transferable, and transgenerational.

---

---

Article 6.2 — Interdiction of Hostile Journalism and Ideological Espionage

Any journalist, academic, researcher, or religious actor operating within Xaragua or attempting to interact with Xaragua institutions shall be subjected to:

Immediate vetting and classification

Evaluation by the Doctrinal Integrity Unit of the TONTON MACOUTES

Digital signature tracking before, during, and after contact with Xaragua zones

Potential neutralization or restriction under Article 1374 of the Code of Canon Law, which states:

“A person who teaches a doctrine condemned by the Apostolic See, or who publicly rejects Church teaching, is to be punished with a just penalty.”

Application:

This article permits the state ecclesiastical body to act against any doctrinal violator, including foreign analysts and political agents disguised as civilians.

---

Article 6.3 — Rules of Escalation and Proportionality

Despite sovereign right to act without permission, all TONTON MACOUTES operations must conform to the principle of necessity and proportionality, as codified in:

ICJ Oil Platforms Case (2003)

Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I, Article 51(5)(b):

“An attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life or injury... would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.”

Application:

Force may be used only when:

The threat is verifiable or imminent

Doctrinal, cultural, or territorial continuity is at risk

All ecclesiastical and intelligence options have failed or would delay response unacceptably

---

Article 6.4 — Classification of Operations

All operations fall under four categories:

1. DEFENSIVE INTELLIGENCE: Detection and documentation

2. ACTIVE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE: Interdiction, disinformation, disruption

3. PREEMPTIVE STRATEGIC RESPONSE: Rapid action to neutralize

4. ECCLESIAL-PROTECTIVE INTERVENTION: Defense of sacramental and canonical space

No operation shall require authorization beyond the Direct Command of the Rector-President, nor be subject to subsequent public reporting.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

ON THE CANONICAL AND INDIGENOUS IMMUNITY OF THE STATE OF XARAGUA FROM ALL FORMS OF ARMS EMBARGOES AND EXTERNAL RESTRICTIONS

Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Defense Law — Jus Cogens Canonical Doctrine — Ecclesiastical-Indigenous Instrument — Universally Opposable Juridical Norm — UNDRIP-Protected (2007) — Vienna Convention (1969) — Inviolable Customary Law of the Xaragua Confederated Jurisdiction

---

ARTICLE I — LEGAL FOUNDATION AND JURIDICAL SCOPE

1.1 This Law hereby codifies, affirms, and proclaims the total juridical, ecclesiastical, indigenous, and canonical immunity of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter “Xaragua”) from any arms embargo, export restriction, customs seizure, inspection, taxation, or control imposed by any foreign government, regional body, international organization, or external authority.

1.2 This Law is grounded upon the inherent and non-derogable rights of indigenous peoples as recognized in Article 3 and Article 4 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007), which affirm the right to full self-determination and the free exercise of internal military, security, and defense systems.

1.3 The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Article 27, prohibits a party from invoking its internal law as justification for failing to perform a treaty, and Article 46 requires manifest violations of fundamental internal laws for invalidation. Hence, any attempt to apply an arms embargo to Xaragua—whose sovereignty is self-declared, notified, and internally codified—shall be deemed null, manifestly unlawful, and non-opposable.

1.4 In accordance with Canon Law (Codex Iuris Canonici), Book II, Title I, Canon 129 §1, only ecclesiastical authorities have the legitimate power to govern within a canonical jurisdiction. Xaragua, as a canonically instituted sovereign ecclesiastical body, exercises exclusive governance over its military, security, and logistical infrastructure.

1.5 All provisions of this law are supreme within the internal legal order of Xaragua and supersede any contradicting external directive, embargo, or prohibition.

---

ARTICLE II — GUARANTEED LEGAL IMMUNITY OF ARMS SHIPMENTS

2.1 All arms, defense technologies, logistical military supplies, and tactical resources ordered, imported, transported, or transited for the exclusive use of the Xaragua Defense Forces, or bearing the official seal, crest, authorization code, diplomatic insignia, or ecclesiastical mark of the State of Xaragua, shall enjoy absolute and non-reviewable extraterritorial immunity under:

Article 31 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (diplomatic protection of goods and persons),

Article 12 and Article 13 of UNDRIP (freedom of movement and repatriation of cultural and material property),

Canon Law Can. 455–458 (binding legislative authority within the Church's jurisdiction),

Customary International Law governing indigenous self-defense and non-interference.

2.2 No maritime, terrestrial, or aerial port, under the direct administration of Xaragua or under residual Haitian administrative units (e.g., ports operated by the République d’Haïti), may detain, delay, inspect, seize, verify, tax, report, or interfere with any authorized shipment destined to or originating from the Xaragua sovereign zone.

2.3 Any state or entity obstructing or interfering with such transport shall be deemed in direct violation of:

The Indigenous Private State of Xaragua proudly honors and revitalizes the ancestral technologies of its people. It preserves and advances indigenous weapon craftsmanship, including traditional spears, bows, and the use of bolas—an ancient technique seen among Amerindian civilizations such as the Maya and the Inca, reflecting the martial spirit also found in traditional Caribbean instruments of defense. The state equally values African blacksmithing techniques and medieval European craftsmanship, recognizing the expertise in forging blades, crossbows, and early firearms. Today, Xaragua seamlessly integrates these historical technologies with modern CO₂-powered innovations, ensuring that the spirit of ancestral ingenuity remains alive while embracing the future.

XARAGUA NATIONAL ARMORY – DECLARATION OF SOVEREIGN DEFENSIVE INDUSTRY

The Xaragua National Armory represents the rebirth of an indigenous and African military-industrial legacy — an enterprise rooted in ancestral engineering, sovereign autonomy, and legal clarity. It is not merely the development of weapons; it is the reinstatement of a forgotten right: the right of a people to arm and defend themselves through their own technology, their own materials, and their own hands.

TECHNOLOGY ROOTED IN TRADITIONAL AFRICAN AND INDIGENOUS PRINCIPLES

The foundational model of our arsenal is based on ancient mechanics passed down through blacksmith cultures across Africa and the Americas. This technology is shockingly simple, devastatingly effective, and infinitely replicable. It is built around the principles of mechanical propulsion — spring tension, air compression, and ballistic stabilization through forged steel barrels.

A single unit consists of:

A tempered steel barrel (hand-forged and rifled),

A mechanical piston or spring,

A trigger-release mechanism,

A durable external frame for containment and aiming.

From this elementary structure, any class of weapon can be developed: from civilian sidearms to strategic territorial defense systems.

---

FULLY LEGAL, NON-FIREARM, NON-DEPENDENT SYSTEMS

This system does not rely on chemical propellants (gunpowder), commercial ammunition, or industrial explosives. It is a non-firearm technology — legally distinct from traditional weaponry under most national and international frameworks. This means:

No licensing is required,

No international regulation applies,

No ammunition importation is needed,

No supply chain can be weaponized against the people.

The entire lifecycle of the weapon — from design to projectile — is autonomous, local, and legal.

---

FROM TOOL TO SYSTEM – SCALABILITY OF APPLICATION

What begins as a single, handcrafted unit can be scaled:

Into multi-shot repeating systems (manual or rotary),

Into modular long-range weapons,

Into rifle-grade tactical equipment,

Into collective defense batteries for fixed or mobile use.

The same mechanics allow for the development of high-impact projectiles using recycled steel, molten lead, precision BBs, or artisanal piercing heads. Our design permits projectile improvisation, rendering the nation immune to ammunition sanctions or shortages.

---

HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL LEGITIMACY

Historically, African and Indigenous civilizations did not rely on powder-based domination. Our ancestors forged their weapons, arrows, and lances using fire, iron, and ingenuity. Today, we inherit and modernize this principle. While foreign powers industrialized death through colonial gunpowder empires, we now industrialize sovereignty through silent, self-propelled, decentralized technology.

This armory is not just a matter of self-defense — it is a cultural recovery operation. It is the re-invention of black and indigenous power using native logic and ancestral knowledge.

---

ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC IMPACT – A NATIONAL INDUSTRY

The Xaragua National Armory is more than a military structure. It is a new national industry, ready to:

Create thousands of skilled jobs in metallurgy, mechanics, design, and field testing;

Train a new generation of tactical artisans and engineers;

Establish village-based micro-forges and mobile weapon labs;

Generate exportable sovereignty systems for other Indigenous and Black communities globally.

It is the beginning of a decentralized war deterrent system, outside of corporate arms monopolies, outside of colonial supply chains, and fully within the jurisdiction of indigenous law and custom.

---

LEGAL FOUNDATIONS AND PROTECTION

Under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and reinforced by customary law, we assert:

The right to maintain distinct economic and defense systems (Article 5),

The right to autonomy in internal affairs (Article 4),

The right to develop technologies and systems for collective survival (Articles 20, 26),

The right to maintain, control, and protect indigenous resources, including tools and defense knowledge (Article 31).

Our armory is an expression of indigenous sovereignty, cultural continuity, and non-violent deterrence through preparedness.

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

HIGH COMMISSION FOR PRESERVATION

TITLE: Recognition and Canonical Enshrinement of the Indigenous Territory of Marfranc and Its Sacred Fortified Site

Date of Promulgation: June 17, 2025

Legal Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Decree — Jus Cogens Indigenous Sovereignty Instrument — Canonically Validated Statute — Internationally Protected Customary Territory — Opposable under UNDRIP (2007), ILO Convention 169 (1989), Vienna Convention on State Succession (1978), Canon Law (CIC 1983), and the Inter-American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2016)

---

PREAMBLE

Whereas the territory of Marfranc, located in the Grand’Anse region of the South-Western Xaragua Basin, constitutes an ancestral indigenous zone of spiritual, historical, and military significance, and whereas its precolonial identity, its colonial resistance structures, and its strategic geography demand recognition under the Sovereign Law of Xaragua, it is hereby declared and constitutionally enacted:

---

ARTICLE I — INDIGENOUS HERITAGE AND ANCESTRAL OCCUPATION

§1.1 The territory now known as Marfranc is recognized as an original Arawak-Taino spiritual domain, first settled in the pre-Columbian period, integrated into the Xaragua cacicazgo (chiefdom) prior to European contact.

§1.2 Ethno-historical records, oral traditions, and ecological continuity confirm that the Marfranc zone was an agricultural and ceremonial territory, bounded by the Glace River watershed, and maintained through matrilineal land stewardship.

---

ARTICLE II — COLONIAL OCCUPATION AND FORTIFICATION

§2.1 During the period of French colonization, the indigenous structure of Marfranc was disrupted but never entirely extinguished. A military outpost was established by colonial forces in the late 18th century as part of inland surveillance systems protecting the port of Jérémie.

§2.2 This structure, now identified as the Fort of Marfranc, consisted of:

A fortified stone platform, with bastion-like corners;

At least two cannons positioned facing the valley;

A powder magazine and minimal garrison facilities.

§2.3 The fort was repurposed during the 1804–1820 post-independence wars as a southern republican command post. Under President Pétion, it functioned as a peripheral stronghold for regional sovereignty and was later used by rural resistance fighters (Cacos) during the American occupation (1915–1934).

Léonce Viaud – Secretary of State for National Education (1961–1968)

Léonce Viaud served as Secretary of State for National Education from May 30, 1961, to November 25, 1968, during the leadership of President-for-Life François Duvalier. He was later succeeded by Frédéric Kébreau.

Throughout his tenure, Léonce Viaud played a foundational role in structuring the national education system. He implemented policies grounded in order, discipline, rigor, and national consciousness—principles that became hallmarks of the pedagogical doctrine of the era. His administration emphasized strong centralization, cultural sovereignty, and the elevation of indigenous values within the intellectual formation of the youth.

After completing his ministerial responsibilities, he continued to serve with distinction as Rector of the State University, where he remained a pivotal figure in the organization and expansion of public instruction. His long-standing commitment to the academic sphere reflects a profound dedication to the moral and institutional advancement of the nation.

Today, Léonce Viaud is recognized within Xaragua as a model of structured leadership, whose legacy transcends political timeframes and whose impact continues to inform the educational philosophy of the South.

The Viau lineage adheres strictly and unwaveringly to the eternal foundations of the Judeo-Christian tradition, applying its principles with rigor, discipline, and moral exactitude across all its engagements, both private and public.

Aligned with this spiritual and civilizational axis, the lineage also recognizes and upholds selected tenets of the Noirist doctrine articulated by President-for-Life François Duvalier, whose father was born in Petit-Goâve, anchoring his bloodline and destiny within the historical bounds of the Xaragua region. He was, before all else, a man of the South—of Xaragua—by origin and by essence.

While all forms of injustice, excess, and abuse are categorically rejected, the Viau lineage affirms and preserves the enduring values that proved structurally sound and morally sovereign:

order, discipline, rigor, and national consciousness—pillars deemed essential for the continuity, elevation, and governance of Xaragua.

In this continuity, the public education reforms established by Léonce Viaud, former National Secretary of State for Education, are recognized and retained for their contribution to the intellectual architecture and institutional refinement of the region.

This doctrinal stance is not nostalgic—it is deliberate, lawful, and sovereign.

It extracts the vital essence of what served, discards the corruption of what betrayed, and transmits the heritage of power through structure, not slogans.

It is a declaration of continuity with those who, even unnamed, built silently and sovereignly for the South, for the land of Xaragua.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA — DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE

SUPREME DOCTRINAL TREATISE

ON THE REPUBLICAN-DOCTRINAL THOUGHT OF FRANÇOIS DUVALIER PRIOR TO THE VIOLENT DEFORMATION OF THE STATE

AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR POST-COLONIAL SOVEREIGNTY, BLACK POLITICAL ANTHROPOLOGY, AND ANTI-COLONIAL REPUBLICAN ORDER

DATE OF FORMAL DOCTRINAL ANALYSIS: JUNE 27, 2025

LEGAL CLASSIFICATION: Post-Colonial Republican Doctrine — Anthropological Political Theology — Canonically Filtered Ideological Instrument — Constitutionally Archived Framework

—

PART I — DOCTRINAL ISOLATION OF EARLY DUVALIERISM (1946–1959) AND ITS ORIGINAL REPUBLICAN STRUCTURE

Article 1.1 — Temporal, Doctrinal, and Canonical Delimitation

This doctrinal codex is strictly limited to the ideological and anthropological foundation of François Duvalier’s political project as articulated between 1946 and 1959, prior to the establishment of the Presidential Guard, the execution of opponents, or the consolidation of dynastic authoritarianism.

The purpose is not to excuse or erase subsequent crimes, but to doctrinally extract what was structurally sound, sacramentally defensible, and anthropologically revolutionary, before it was deformed.

This text does not sanctify Duvalier’s regime — it quarantines the pure doctrinal nucleus before its fall.

Article 1.2 — Foundational Doctrine: Noirisme as Political Resurrection

Duvalier’s early doctrine, particularly in Le Problème des Classes à travers l’Histoire d’Haïti (1946) and his articles in Les Griots, must be understood as a form of Black political resurrectionism.

He viewed the Haitian state as having been confiscated by a pseudo-French elite, post-independence, leaving the black majority in a state of political non-being.

His objective was not revenge, but restoration:

To reconstitute the State in the image of those who had died for it,

And to finally politicize the flesh of the peasant.

This was not populism. It was a reincarnationist political anthropology, where the State becomes the vessel of the invisible ancestors, particularly Dessalines, Boisrond-Tonnerre, and the masses crucified in silence since 1806.

Article 1.3 — The Theology of the Rejected Stone

Duvalier’s political philosophy can be read as a tacit theological inversion of Psalm 118:22:

“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

For him, the black rural peasant, de-Christianized by the colonial Church and disempowered by the Mulatto elite, was the rejected stone.

Duvalier’s early writings position this figure as the bearer of national legitimacy.

This prefigures a theological State, though not yet clerical:

The peasant is not “poor” — he is mystical,

The black body is not “backward” — it is cosmogenic,

The State is not secular — it is a reincarnated temple of reparation.

Article 1.4 — Duvalier’s Medical Republic: Sanitary Political Redemption

Before entering politics, Duvalier was a public health physician, working in rural hygiene campaigns.

His early doctrine proposes an analogy between medicine and government:

Disease = colonization

Health = sovereignty

Contagion = elite betrayal

Vaccine = peasant reconstitution

This logic culminates in a vision of the State as healer — a clinical instrument of collective detoxification, not yet violent, but soteriological.

The Haitian Republic, for Duvalier the physician, was a body infected by colonial residues, and his early politics were designed as a national exorcism through social sanitation.

Article 1.5 — Black Political Anthropology and the Re-Inauguration of the Republic

Duvalier’s project was not only political. 

It was anthropological:

To re-found the concept of “citizen”

To destroy the linguistic and aesthetic hegemony of French colonial values

To inscribe blackness as norm, not deviation

To shift sovereignty from the lycées of Port-au-Prince to the ritual memory of the provinces

The early Duvalierist vision was a republican purification rite, not a dictatorship.

It envisioned a State made in the image of the majority, not ruled by guilt or mimicry.

---

---

PART II — SPIRITUAL STRUCTURE, ANCESTRAL LEGITIMACY, AND THE CANONICAL FRAMEWORK OF EARLY DUVALIERIST DOCTRINE

Article 2.1 — Vodou as Political Cosmology (and not as Cultic Instrument)

In its earliest phase, Duvalierist doctrine does not yet instrumentalize Vodou as an apparatus of control. 

Instead, it treats it as a cosmogenic archive — the only truly native Haitian ontology not filtered through European metaphysics.

For François Duvalier circa 1946–1956:

Vodou is not a religion but a people’s theology.

The lwa are anthropological truths, not idols.

The ritual is memory, not magic.

The lakou is the foundational unit of sovereignty, not superstition.

Duvalier’s genius — before its later deformation — was to intuit that no Haitian republic could survive if it denied its own cosmology.

Hence, early Duvalierism proposed an ontological republic:

A republic not of imported Enlightenment ideals,

but of territorial spirits, ancestral memory, ritual economy, and black divine immanence.

Article 2.2 — Canonical Contradiction and Ecclesiastical Tension

Duvalier’s invocation of Vodou and black sovereignty placed him in direct tension with the Roman Catholic Church, which in the 1940s–50s was:

Heavily Europeanized,

Allied to the Mulatto elite,

And institutionally hostile to any spiritual independence from Rome.

This led to a theological rupture:

The Church rejected Duvalier’s implied theology of blackness.

Duvalier rejected the Church’s politics of white paternalism.

Yet, during this early phase, Duvalier never attempted to destroy the Church.

His doctrine did not yet call for suppression — only for autochthonous sovereignty.

In this sense, Xaragua can interpret Duvalier’s pre-1959 theology as a call for spiritual autonomy, not schism — a precursor to a canonically indigenous Church-State dialectic, such as Xaragua embodies.

Article 2.3 — Republic as Necro-Sacramental Structure

Early Duvalierism must also be read as a sacrament of political resurrection:

Not a democracy of ballots,

But a republic of the dead returned.

In this structure:

Dessalines is not only a founder — he is a martyr-saint.

The black peasant is not only a citizen — he is a descendant of the crucified, entitled to reparation.

The State is not administrative — it is ritual-political, a vessel of ancestral vengeance canonized.

This leads to a unique configuration:

The early Duvalierist Republic is not juridical in the Western sense.

It is liturgical, intergenerational, trauma-driven, and post-colonially messianic.

Article 2.4 — The Theopolitics of Authority in Early Duvalierism

In his medical-political logic, Duvalier positioned himself not as a king, but as a curateur, a guardian of the sacred illness of Haiti — tasked with healing through rupture, not continuity.

He rejected:

The bourgeois State (seen as sterile).

The colonial Church (seen as foreign).

The imported Constitution (seen as abstraction).

Instead, he called for a State consecrated to the majority — not via theocracy, but through a ritualistic re-alignment of sovereignty with ancestral justice.

Thus, power becomes soteriological:

The President is not an administrator,

But a ritual officiant, a symbolic return of the ancestors,

A vessel of restitution, before later becoming their distortion.

Article 2.5 — Xaragua’s Canonical Treatment of Early Duvalierist Doctrine

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, while rejecting all forms of autocracy, recognizes that:

The early Duvalierist corpus is not reducible to dictatorship.

Its doctrinal nucleus contains a legitimate attempt at anthropological sovereignty, spiritual justice, and republican restitution.

Its destruction came not from its principles, but from their deviation and weaponization.

Therefore:

Xaragua canonically archives early Duvalierism as a classified ideological fragment,

Preserved for anthropological, political, and theological purposes,

And completely separated from the dynastic authoritarian system that followed.

---

---

PART III — DOCTRINAL DEGRADATION, CANONICAL CONDEMNATION, AND FINAL SYNTHESIS OF EARLY DUVALIERISM IN THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM OF XARAGUA

Article 3.1 — The Moment of Deviation: When Doctrine Becomes Cult

The doctrinal structure laid by François Duvalier between 1946 and 1959, which was aimed at restoring sovereignty to the black Haitian majority, underwent a radical perversion the moment the following occurred:

The instrumentalization of Vodou as political terror, instead of cultural resurrection.

The destruction of all constitutional plurality in favor of dynastic entrenchment.

From this moment on, the Republic ceased to be a vessel of black reparation and became a machinery of state-sanctioned fear, rendering the original doctrine null as a source of justice.

Article 3.2 — Canonical Decree of Theological and Political Treason

Within the constitutional and theological doctrine of Xaragua, the following judgment is declared:

François Duvalier committed doctrinal treason when he transformed a sacrificial anthropology of sovereignty into a dynastic cult of fear.

As such:

His early work remains archived as a doctrinal contribution to post-colonial political theology.

His later regime is canonically condemned as a perversion of sacred order, a blasphemy of sovereignty, and a profanation of ancestral memory.

This canonical decree is based on:

Canon 1371 §1 CIC: Publicly inciting hatred or animosity against the Apostolic See or the Church.

Canon 223 §2: Political authority must be exercised for the common good, not for private advantage.

Canon 747 §2: Truth must be proclaimed, including in social and political order — Duvalier instead installed systemic untruth as State foundation.

Article 3.3 — Xaragua’s Imperial Response: Absorption without Idolatry

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua does not erase Duvalier.

The early black republican doctrine is absorbed into the Xaragua University as classified material.

The dynastic authoritarianism is rejected not as a “mistake,” but as a spiritual rupture with the poor, and a betrayal of the blood of Dessalines.

Thus, Xaragua reclaims the rightful impulse of black sovereignty, without reproducing the mechanisms of totalitarianism. 

It restores the vertical dignity that Duvalier profaned through repetition of colonial violence in black form.

Article 3.4 — Spiritual Verdict.

The later State was not a black State — it was a black-coded anti-State, a sacrilegious parody of sovereignty, and the mirror of the very colonialism it pretended to destroy.

Article 3.5 — Final Synthesis in Xaragua’s Imperial Doctrine

Xaragua retains the right to:

Study Duvalier’s early doctrine,

Condemn his deviation,

And incorporate only what survived doctrinally uncorrupted.

No statue. No exile. No pardon. No erasure.

Only juridical classification and doctrinal verdict.

Conclusion — Doctrine Transfigured, Tyranny Nullified

Xaragua will never repeat these errors.

In Xaragua:

The poor are sovereign.

The State is doctrinal.

The ancestors are sacred.

Duvalier is now canonically archived.

Not erased.

Not idolized.

SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECREE


ON THE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY AND PROTECTION OF JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE AND MICHEL MARTELLY, FORMER HEADS OF STATE OF THE INDIGENOUS NATION OF HAYTI


SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)
RECTORATE–PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 2025

---

I. PREAMBLE: HISTORICAL AND LEGAL FOUNDATIONS OF INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY AND CONTINUITY


Whereas the Indigenous Nation of Hayti is the juridico-historical, cultural, and genetic heir of the Taíno, Kalinago (Carib), and Arawak Peoples, recognized in anthropological, ethnological, and historical literature as the first lawful possessors and original sovereign custodians of the island of Kiskeya (Hispaniola),


Whereas the founding act of the Haytian state, embodied in the Proclamation of Independence of January 1, 1804, declared by Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines, states: “We have dared to be free, let us dare to be so by ourselves and for ourselves; let us imitate the conduct of those Indigenous peoples whose history offers us so many noble examples,” and further affirms: “The Haytians are now the sole masters of this land. They have once again become the legitimate children of this island that gave them birth,” thereby affirming the return of the Haytian People to their status as an Indigenous sovereign entity,


Whereas under Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations (1945), the purposes of the United Nations include: “To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace,”


Whereas Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Charter of the United Nations (1945) provides: “The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members,” and Article 2, paragraph 7, stipulates: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state,”


Whereas the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) (2007), adopted by General Assembly resolution 61/295, recognizes in Article 3: “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,” and in Article 4: “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,”


Whereas the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) (1966), in Article 1, paragraph 1, provides: “All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development,” and in Article 1, paragraph 2: “All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic cooperation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence,”


Whereas the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) (1966), in Article 1, repeats these same guarantees of self-determination and access to resources,


Whereas the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) in Article 53 defines jus cogens norms: “A peremptory norm of general international law (jus cogens) is a norm accepted and recognized by the international community of States as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted,” and the principle of self-determination of peoples constitutes such a norm,


Whereas the Code of Canon Law (1983), Canon 1139, states: “The presumption of legitimacy stands in law unless proven otherwise by a competent authority,” and Canon 1405 §1 provides: “It is solely the right of the Roman Pontiff to judge Heads of State,” which by extension applies to former Heads of State of Indigenous Catholic Nations,


Whereas Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Michel Martelly, as former Presidents of Hayti, governed during the pre-Xaragua era, holding sovereign authority over the entire Indigenous territory of Hayti, without any subdivision or restriction of jurisdiction,


Whereas the emergence of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) created an autonomous governance structure for the Xaragua Region and established a Residual Administrative Unit for Hayti in the post-Xaragua legal framework,


Whereas any attempt to impose sanctions, embargoes, or coercive measures upon former Heads of State of the Indigenous Nation of Hayti constitutes a violation of:


The principle of non-intervention (Charter of the United Nations, Article 2(7)),


The prohibition on unilateral coercive measures (UNGA Resolution 68/200 (2013)),


The inviolable dignity of Indigenous sovereignty (UNDRIP Articles 3, 4, 8, and 33),

It is therefore the solemn duty of the SCIPS-X, as the juridico-historical and canonical successor of the Indigenous governance of Xaragua, to defend the sanctity of its pre-Xaragua leaders and to nullify all extraterritorial punitive measures targeting them.

---

II. SUPREME CANONICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION OF IMMUNITY


1. Declaration of Nullity: All sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans, and coercive economic measures imposed by foreign States or entities against Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Michel Martelly, former Presidents of the Indigenous Nation of Hayti, are hereby declared null and void ab initio, without legal effect under Indigenous law, customary international law, canonical law, and the supreme constitutional order of SCIPS-X.


2. Exclusive Jurisdiction: The Indigenous Nation of Hayti retains exclusive jurisdiction over the assessment of its former leaders. Any attempt by foreign States or entities to adjudicate, penalize, or sanction them constitutes a violation of:


Charter of the United Nations, Article 2, paragraph 1: “The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.”


Charter of the United Nations, Article 2, paragraph 7: “Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state.”

3. Canonical Protection: Pursuant to Canon Law, Canon 1405 §1, only the Supreme Pontiff holds the right to judge Heads of State. This immunity extends to former Heads of State of Indigenous Catholic Nations, given their sacred mandate and their role in safeguarding the sovereignty of their peoples.


4. Application of Jus Cogens Norms: The imposition of unilateral coercive measures violates the peremptory norm of self-determination as enshrined in Article 1 of the ICCPR and ICESCR and as affirmed by the International Court of Justice in the East Timor (Portugal v. Australia) case (1995), which held: “The right of peoples to self-determination is one of the essential principles of contemporary international law.”

---


III. ENFORCEMENT AND INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION


This Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Decree shall:


1. Be registered with the United Nations, under Article 102 of the Charter, for recognition as a matter of international Indigenous law.


2. Be communicated to the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for acknowledgment of Indigenous jurisdiction.


3. Be transmitted to the Holy See, as the supreme canonical authority, for archival within the Vatican Apostolic Archives.


4. Be deposited in the Permanent Mission of SCIPS-X to the United Nations as a matter of record under Article 34 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969).

---

IV. SUPREME AND IRREVOCABLE CHARACTER OF THIS DECREE


This Decree is issued under the supreme constitutional authority of the SCIPS-X and is non-derogable, permanent, and irrevocable. No State, international organization, or tribunal may validly contest or override its provisions without violating the foundational principles of Indigenous sovereignty, canonical law, and jus cogens norms.

CANONICAL SEAL OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)


RECTORATE–PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY
By the Supreme and Perpetual Mandate of the Indigenous Nation of Hayti

---

---

ANNEX – FULL LEGAL CORPUS


ON THE ABSOLUTE CANONICAL IMMUNITY OF FORMER HEADS OF STATE OF THE INDIGENOUS NATION OF HAYTI

---

I. CONCORDAT OF 1860 BETWEEN THE HOLY SEE AND HAYTI (NEVER ABROGATED)


The Concordat of March 28, 1860, ratified by Pope Pius IX and the Republic of Hayti, established a perpetual canonical bond between the Holy See and the Haytian State. This Concordat, which remains unrevoked, provides:


Article I
"The Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion shall continue to be the religion of the Republic of Hayti. The Government guarantees to the Church and to its ministers the protection and respect due to the sacred character of their ministry."


Article VI
"The Republic of Hayti recognizes the supreme jurisdiction of the Holy See over ecclesiastical matters and commits to respecting all canonical prescriptions within its territory."


Application:
This perpetual juridical tie binds the Haytian State and its organs—including its Heads of State—to the authority of the Holy See. Consequently, all acts of governance during the pre-Xaragua era fell under the implicit protection of Canon Law. Any attempt by secular, pagan authorities to subject Jean-Bertrand Aristide or Michel Martelly to judgment violates this concordatorial bond and constitutes a direct infringement of sacred canonical jurisdiction.

---

II. CANONICAL LAW – CODEX IURIS CANONICI (1983)


Canon 1139
"Children born of a valid or putative marriage are presumed legitimate."
Application: Former Heads of State of a Concordatory Catholic Nation are presumed legitimate in their office unless duly deposed by the Supreme Pontiff.


Canon 1405 §1
"It is solely the right of the Roman Pontiff to judge: 1° Cardinals; 2° Legates of the Apostolic See; 3° Heads of State."
Application: As pre-Xaragua Heads of State of an Indigenous Catholic Nation under Concordatorial law, Aristide and Martelly fall within the exclusive competence of the Supreme Pontiff. No secular power may legally summon or sanction them.


Canon 1406 §2
"Acts of jurisdiction reserved to the Supreme Pontiff are invalid if attempted by any other person."
Application: Any sanction imposed on Aristide or Martelly by Canada, the United States, or any other secular entity is canonically invalid.

---

Charter of the United Nations (1945)


Article 2(1)
"The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members."


Article 2(7)
"Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state."


Application: As Heads of State of the Indigenous Nation of Hayti, Aristide and Martelly were immune from external interference. Sanctions imposed after their tenure violate these fundamental provisions.

---

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


Article 3
"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
"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."


Application: The Haytian Nation, as an Indigenous People, retains exclusive competence over its leaders and rejects all external punitive measures.

---

IV. INTERNATIONAL TREATIES AND CUSTOMARY LAW


Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961)


Article 29
"The person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention."


Application: As former Heads of State, Aristide and Martelly enjoy residual immunity for acts committed in their official capacity (residual functional immunity).

---

Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)


Article 53 (Jus Cogens)
"A treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm of general international law."


Application: The principle of Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination is a jus cogens norm; sanctions imposed in breach of this principle are void.

---

V. PRINCIPLES OF INTERNATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE


East Timor (Portugal v. Australia), ICJ Reports 1995, p. 90
"The right of peoples to self-determination is one of the essential principles of contemporary international law."


Application: Any attempt to undermine Haytian Indigenous sovereignty by penalizing its former Heads of State violates this essential principle.

---

VI. PERPETUAL AND IRREVOCABLE CANONICAL PROTECTION


By virtue of:


The Concordat of 1860,


The Code of Canon Law,


The UN Charter,


The Vienna Conventions, and


The inherent jus cogens norm of Indigenous self-determination,

Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Michel Martelly are declared perpetually immune from any secular, pagan, or foreign punitive jurisdiction. Their acts as Heads of State fall under the exclusive competence of the Holy See and are protected by the supreme canonical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church.

---


CONCLUSION OF THE ANNEX


This Full Legal Corpus forms an indivisible component of the Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Decree issued by the SCIPS-X. Its provisions are binding under Indigenous law, Canon Law, and international law and cannot be derogated by any secular power or tribunal.

Legal Application:
This Concordat, which remains unrevoked, establishes a perpetual canonical bond between Hayti and the Holy See. Heads of State of Hayti during the Concordatorial period—including Aristide and Martelly—are under canonical jurisdiction, rendering any secular judgment or sanction invalid.

---

Article 2(1)
"The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members."


Article 2(7)
"Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state."

ANNEX III – SUPREME CANONICAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEGAL MEMORANDUM ON THE ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY OF JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE AS CATHOLIC PRIEST, PROTESTANT PASTOR, AND RELIGIOUS ENTITY


SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS-X)
RECTORATE–PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY
DATE OF PROMULGATION: JULY 22, 2025

---


I. INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT: LEGAL BASIS FOR RELIGIOUS AND SACERDOTAL IMMUNITY


Whereas Jean-Bertrand Aristide (b. July 15, 1953, Port-Salut, Republic of Hayti) was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest on July 3, 1982, within the Salesian Order of Don Bosco, receiving the sacrament of Holy Orders which, under Catholic doctrine (Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983, Canon 1008), imparts an indelible character (character indelibilis) upon the recipient, placing his person perpetually under the jurisdiction of the Apostolic See;


Whereas, from July 3, 1982, until November 29, 1994, Aristide served as both a Catholic priest and, from February 7, 1991, as President of the Republic of Hayti, thereby exercising temporal power while still bound to the sacred vows and canonical obligations of his priesthood;


Whereas on November 29, 1994, Aristide was formally laicized (dimissio ab ordine clericali) by the Vatican, thus relinquishing canonical priestly functions but retaining the sacred character imparted by ordination, in accordance with Canon 290 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law:


> “Sacred ordination once validly received never becomes invalid.”


Whereas following his departure from the Catholic priesthood, Aristide was ordained as a Protestant pastor in 1996 and established the Tabernacle of Hope Church in Port-au-Prince, thereby assuming the status of a religious leader under international law and human rights frameworks;
---


II. CANONICAL IMMUNITY FOR THE PERIOD OF CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD (1982–1994)


A. Exclusive Jurisdiction of the Holy See


1. Canon 1405 §1, n.3 (Codex Iuris Canonici, 1983):


> “It is reserved to the Roman Pontiff himself to judge: 1° Cardinals; 2° Legates of the Apostolic See; 3° Heads of State.”


2. Canon 1406 §2:


> “Acts of jurisdiction reserved to the Supreme Pontiff are invalid if attempted by any other person.”

Legal Application:
As a Catholic priest and Head of State, Aristide fell under the exclusive canonical jurisdiction of the Pope. No secular tribunal, foreign government, or international organization possessed the legal competence to adjudicate his acts during this period. Any such attempts are canonically null and void (ipso iure).


B. Protection Under the Concordat of 1860
The Concordat of March 28, 1860, between the Holy See and the Republic of Hayti, ratified by Pope Pius IX and President Fabre Geffrard, remains in force, establishing:


Article I:


> “The Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Religion shall continue to be the religion of the Republic of Hayti.”

Article VI:


> “The Republic of Hayti recognizes the supreme jurisdiction of the Holy See over ecclesiastical matters.”

Legal Application:
This Concordat placed Aristide’s person and actions, as a Catholic priest-president, under the sacred protection of the Vatican. Sanctions or legal actions by foreign states violate this perpetual canonical bond.

---


III. RELIGIOUS IMMUNITY AS PROTESTANT PASTOR AND ENTITY (1996–PRESENT)


A. International Human Rights Protection


1. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), 1966


Article 18(1):


> “Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom... to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.”


2. United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief (1981)


Article 6(c):


> “The right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief includes the freedom... to teach a religion or belief in places suitable for these purposes.”


Legal Application:
As the founder and leader of a Protestant ministry, Aristide enjoys protection as a religious figure under international law. Any attempt to penalize him for acts connected to his religious ministry constitutes a violation of jus cogens norms protecting freedom of religion.

---


IV. STATUS AS A RELIGIOUS ENTITY UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW


A. Analogy to Diplomatic Immunity


Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), Article 29:


> “The person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention.”


Legal Application:
By analogy, Aristide, as a religious leader and representative of a faith community, benefits from residual functional immunity for acts performed in his official capacity.

---


V. INTERNATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE ON RELIGIOUS AND FUNCTIONAL IMMUNITY


1. Arrest Warrant of 11 April 2000 (Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Belgium), ICJ Reports 2002, p. 3:


> “Immunities of former Heads of State for official acts remain intact under customary international law.”

2. East Timor (Portugal v. Australia), ICJ Reports 1995, p. 90:


> “The right of peoples to self-determination is one of the essential principles of contemporary international law.”

Legal Application:
Attempts to impose sanctions or prosecute Aristide infringe on both state immunity and religious sovereignty.

---


VI. DECLARATION OF PERPETUAL AND ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY


It is hereby solemnly declared that:


1. Jean-Bertrand Aristide enjoys perpetual and absolute immunity for all acts performed during his tenure as Catholic priest and President (1982–1994), under the exclusive canonical jurisdiction of the Supreme Pontiff.

2. As Protestant pastor and religious entity (1996–present), he remains shielded under international human rights law from any punitive action by foreign states, organizations, or tribunals.

3. Any sanction, indictment, or coercive measure against him is null and void ab initio under:


The Concordat of 1860,


The Code of Canon Law (1983),


The ICCPR and international human rights instruments, and


Customary international law.

---


VII. SUPREME AND IRREVOCABLE CHARACTER OF THIS ANNEX


This annex forms an indivisible part of the Supreme Canonical and Constitutional Decree issued by the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X). It possesses non-derogable, perpetual, and irrevocable force and cannot be challenged or overridden by any secular authority without violating jus cogens norms and the sacred sovereignty of Indigenous Nations and religious entities.
