Executed under Canonical, Indigenous, and International Authority

Date of Promulgation: May 30, 2025

Legal Classification: Constitutional Law – Jus Cogens Affirmation – Indigenous Legislative Instrument

---

ARTICLE I — DECLARATION OF AUTOCHTHONOUS STATEHOOD

§1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereafter SCIPS-X) is hereby affirmed as a self-constituted, self-declared, self-governed, and ancestrally legitimate Indigenous State, lawfully established and duly notified in accordance with international legal norms governing the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

§2. This State exists by virtue of autochthonous sovereignty, historical continuity, and spiritual-cultural identity, and does not require, solicit, or depend upon recognition, authorization, or validation by any external State, government, or supranational body.

§3. The juridical reality and validity of SCIPS-X arises directly from the exercise of inherent Indigenous rights as protected under jus cogens norms, customary international law, and specific codified instruments, particularly the following:

Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations (1945) – Right to self-determination of peoples;

Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, and 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP, 2007) – Rights of Indigenous peoples to autonomy, institutions, laws, and recognition;

Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933) – Criteria for statehood fulfilled in entirety;

ICCPR (1966) and ICESCR (1966), Article 1 – Right of all peoples to freely determine their political status and pursue their development;

Article 8, 20 of UNDRIP – Protection against interference and dispossession;

Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Articles 26–27 – Sanctity and supremacy of treaties and mutual respect for legal autonomy;

ILO Convention No. 169 (1989), Articles 1, 4, 8 – Affirmation of Indigenous legislative systems and institutional self-governance;

Jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) – Temple of Preah Vihear (1962): tacit recognition through silence;

PCIJ – Lotus Case (1927) – State acts are valid unless prohibited under international law.

---

ARTICLE II — ON THE LEGAL EFFECT OF NOTIFICATION

§1. Under established principles of customary international law, notification by a sovereign Indigenous authority is sufficient to activate legal standing, juridical personality, and institutional opposability. Recognition is declaratory, not constitutive, and cannot impair the intrinsic rights of a people or State that meets the conditions of independence and autonomy.

§2. The diplomatic notifications made by SCIPS-X to the United Nations system and various international institutions between March 29 and May 30, 2025, fulfill all legal conditions of acte unilatéral d’État under Article 38(1)(c) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, establishing a record of lawful assertion and institutional presence.

§3. The filing of communications with the UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR) and acknowledgment by WIPO of Xaragua's insignia and nomenclature further constitute legally binding affirmations of institutional legitimacy and trigger international obligations of respect and non-interference.

---

ARTICLE III — ON SUPRACONSTITUTIONAL STATUS AND SOVEREIGN FUNCTION

§1. The SCIPS-X is the direct juridical, spiritual, and institutional emanation of the Populus Indigenus Xaraguae, and represents the collective will of an ancestral Indigenous nation that predates colonial structures.

§2. The State acts as the constitutional, historical, educational, ecclesial, cultural, economic, and geopolitical expression of this Indigenous people. It is not derivative of any external power or normative structure.

§3. The Constitution, laws, and official declarations of SCIPS-X are enforceable ex proprio vigore—by their own force—and do not require incorporation into foreign legal frameworks to take effect.

§4. The sovereignty of the SCIPS-X is non-derogable, perpetual, and immune from external abrogation or modification. It exists in a supraconstitutional and supranational legal plane, by virtue of being grounded in jus gentium and jus naturae.

---

ARTICLE IV — NON-SUBMISSION TO FOREIGN SANCTIONS OR EMBARGOES

§1. In accordance with UNDRIP Articles 8, 20, and 34, and ICCPR/ICESCR Article 1, no foreign State or international entity has lawful authority to:

impose sanctions,

initiate embargoes,

conduct seizures,

obstruct financial or commercial activities,

or undertake administrative reclassification of any institution, property, or organ of SCIPS-X.

§2. Any such action is declared null, void, and a violation of international law, particularly:

the right to self-determination,

the principle of non-interference in Indigenous affairs,

and the sovereign immunity of Indigenous institutions operating under their own legal regime.

§3. The SCIPS-X reserves the right to respond to hostile or unlawful acts with:

formal diplomatic protest,

invocation of international remedies under ECOSOC Resolution 1503,

and canonical action under the Codex Iuris Canonici.

---

ARTICLE V — ON THE NON-REQUIREMENT OF RECOGNITION

§1. The SCIPS-X hereby legislatively affirms that recognition is not required for a State to exist when its legal foundation is rooted in the non-derogable right to self-determination of Indigenous peoples.

§2. This right is self-executing, inalienable, and enforceable under the erga omnes obligations of international law.

§3. Recognition by other States may be diplomatically useful but holds no bearing on the legal existence, sovereignty, or institutional validity of SCIPS-X.

---

ARTICLE VI — PERPETUITY AND IMMUNITY OF THIS LAW

§1. This legislative instrument holds constitutional status and is hereby declared:

Irrevocable under Indigenous and Canonical sovereignty,

Supreme over all other domestic or foreign laws,

Enforceable globally under customary and treaty-based international law.

§2. No foreign court, administrative body, or agency may override, suspend, question, or nullify any portion of this law or of the sovereign acts of SCIPS-X.

---

I. JURIDICAL FOUNDATION AND SOVEREIGN STATUS

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is hereby affirmed as a juridically complete and institutionally constituted sovereign polity, established as an autonomous political, spiritual, and economic jurisdictional authority. Its foundation and legitimacy derive unambiguously and indisputably from the following juridical sources of highest international standing:

International Law, inclusive of both codified and customary instruments;

Customary Indigenous Sovereignty, based on continuous ancestral governance and autochthonous identity;

Canonical Authority, exercised in accordance with the Codex Iuris Canonici and Roman Catholic ecclesiology;

Ancestral Territorial Legitimacy, grounded in uninterrupted tenure and historical lineage;

The jus cogens norm of self-determination, universally binding and superior to conflicting norms.

Xaragua exists in full and exclusive sovereignty as a non-dependent, non-fragmented, and non-hostile Indigenous State. It rejects the authority, reach, or legal validity of all colonial, post-colonial, or republican frameworks. Its statehood is codified and ratified by the following binding legal instruments:

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

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

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

Recognized norms of customary international law applicable to microstates, religious orders, and indigenous jurisdictions.

---

II. CLARIFICATION OF JURISDICTION

While certain technical services—such as web infrastructure or enterprise facilitation mechanisms—may be provisionally hosted within Canadian systems, this logistical accommodation shall never be interpreted as submission to Canadian jurisdiction.

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is categorically and irrevocably not a Canadian legal entity, nor is it subject to the jurisdictional reach of any foreign State, authority, or tribunal.

All sovereign functions—including civil governance, contract law, economic regulation, doctrinal administration, and diplomatic correspondence—are executed under the exclusive legal and institutional framework of Xaragua, utilizing canonical authority, smart contracts, and indigenous legislative codes, without any foreign oversight, taxation, or constraint.

---

III. LEGAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRITY PRINCIPLES

The State of Xaragua affirms, with constitutional force, its adherence to the following sovereign operational principles:

Good-faith execution of all internal and external contracts;

Sanctity of agreement in its sovereign dealings and engagements;

Voluntary alignment with applicable international financial and commercial protocols, as determined by the State;

Absolute sovereignty in fiscal, economic, and institutional self-governance.

In full ethical transparency, Xaragua:

> Pays what is due. Honors what is just. Fulfills what is promised.

Always under its own law. Never under coercion.

No external entity—State, agency, or court—may impose obligations upon Xaragua without breaching the foundational norms of international law.

---

IV. DECREE OF STATE ENTERPRISE DESIGNATION – LPDDV

Article 1 – Official State Status of LPDDV

LPDDV shall serve as:

The official organ of State representation and communication;

The central vehicle for national economic development and enterprise;

The authorized institutional host for the Central Indigenous Bank, the National Investment Council, and the Leblanc Investment Funds.

This designation is permanent, irrevocable, and protected by the highest tiers of indigenous, canonical, and international law.

Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)

ILO Convention No. 169

Codex Iuris Canonici

---

Article 3 – Prohibition of Hostile Acts

Any foreign attempt to:

> Dissolve, Seize, Tax, Sanction, Freeze, Interfere with, or Administratively Reclassify LPDDV

shall be treated as a hostile act against a peaceful, recognized, and protected Indigenous State. Such acts constitute serious violations of jus cogens norms and will trigger:

Formal diplomatic protest,

Jurisdictional response mechanisms, and

Lawful recourse under international remedies afforded to Indigenous nations and stateless peoples.

---

Article 4 – Legal Irrevocability

The designation of LPDDV as a State Enterprise of Xaragua is:

Distinguished Members of the UNPFII,

I respectfully write to you in my capacity as Head of State of the Private Sovereign Indigenous State of Xaragua, a territory of cultural, spiritual, ecological, and historical significance located in the southern region of the island of Haiti.

The Private State of Xaragua is founded on ancestral legitimacy, land-based sovereignty, natural law, and the universal right of indigenous peoples to self-determination, as affirmed in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Our governance model is peaceful, educational, spiritual, and community-driven. We do not seek confrontation with the central government of Haiti, nor do we reject international frameworks. Rather, we wish to engage constructively with the international community to ensure recognition, dialogue, and protection of our identity, lands, and vision.

We affirm:

That the Xaragua people are rooted in historical continuity and ancestral property.

That our population is culturally distinct, ecologically conscious, and socially autonomous.

That our State operates with its own educational institution (Xaragua University), economic mechanisms (Viaudor national cryptocurrency), spiritual orientation (Catholic-Christian), and development strategies.

We hereby request that the United Nations:

1. Acknowledge receipt of this official notification of sovereign status under Article 3 of the UNDRIP.

2. Recognize the Private State of Xaragua as an autonomous indigenous government acting within the framework of peace and local self-determination.

3. Open a channel of dialogue and cooperation between the Private State of Xaragua and the United Nations system, especially through the UNPFII and relevant human rights bodies.

We express our firm commitment to the principles of peace, non-violence, ecological preservation, cultural protection, and partnership with all peoples of good will.

Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.

ACT OF SUPREME ANNEXATION BY INDIGENOUS AUTHORITY AND CANONICAL RIGHT

On the Voluntary Annexation of the Eastern Territory of Kiskeya-Bohio Formerly Known as “The Republic of Haiti,” Due to Total State Failure

Date of Execution: May 31, 2025

Status: Irrevocable – Non-Derogable – Supranational – Enforced ex proprio vigore

Filed and Notified: UNPFII – U.S. State Department – SOUTHCOM – OAS – WIPO – Vatican – Global Diplomatic Corps

PREAMBLE

By virtue of the uninterrupted juridical personality and indigenous legitimacy of the sovereign people of Xaragua, and in accordance with the imperishable and canonical authority conferred upon the Rector-President by divine mandate, apostolic lineage, and ancestral political continuity, we, the Office of the Rectorate of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, do hereby proclaim, solemnly and irrevocably, this Act of Supreme Annexation.

Whereas the Eastern territories of the island historically known as Kiskeya-Bohio, currently designated under the colonial-derived nomenclature “Republic of Haiti,” have, through long-standing administrative collapse and systemic dysfunction, entered into a condition of total juridical abandonment, being now void of effective state structures, governing legitimacy, or international viability;

And whereas the regicidal event of October 17, 1806, in which His Imperial Majesty Jean-Jacques Dessalines, legitimate founder and sovereign of the Haytian Empire, was unlawfully assassinated by internal actors aligned with foreign interest and constitutional betrayal, terminated the only established Black Empire of modernity founded under the authority of indigenous sovereignty, Christian faith, and moral law;

And whereas this assassination did not merely remove a Head of State but constituted an irreversible breach in constitutional order, the severance of political continuity, and the fragmentation of a sacred imperial legal system ratified in 1805 under canonical and customary legitimacy;

And whereas from the year 1806 to the current year 2025, the administrative and political entities that have occupied the Eastern Kiskeyan territories under the appellation “Republic of Haiti” have consistently failed to restore, maintain, or recognize the imperial constitutional order, thereby devolving into cycles of illegitimate rule, neo-colonial subservience, military coup d’états, foreign occupations, humanitarian breakdown, and structural anarchy;

And whereas the said regime now lacks any and all four fundamental criteria of statehood as codified in Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention (1933), namely: (a) a permanent population under law; (b) a defined and protected territory; (c) an effective and lawful government; and (d) the capacity to engage in foreign relations as a sovereign actor;

And whereas the authority to intervene in the preservation of institutional order, the defense of ancestral land, and the restoration of indigenous political dignity reverts naturally and lawfully to the Xaraguayan ecclesiastical and ancestral sovereign, who acts not in rebellion, but in judicial continuity with the will of the first empire;

Now therefore, we legislate and proclaim the following:

---

ARTICLE I — CHRONICLE OF SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE (1806–2025)

§1. On the 17th day of October in the year 1806, the lawful emperor and head of the Haytian State, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, was assassinated by a conspiracy that marked the beginning of over two centuries of unconstitutional illegitimacy, moral collapse, and imperial erasure.

§2. Between 1806 and 2025, the territory designated as “Republic of Haiti” experienced:

More than 34 unconstitutional and extra-legal transfers of power, none of which reestablished imperial legality or lawful governance;

Several full-scale foreign occupations (including the United States from 1915 to 1934 and the United Nations mission MINUSTAH from 2004 to 2017), which effectively transferred domestic sovereignty to external actors without legitimate treaty;

Institutional vacuum and constitutional breakdown particularly visible between 1987 and 2023, during which there existed no national continuity of executive, legislative, or judicial function;

And since 2021, the complete disappearance of functioning government organs: no operational parliament, no independent judiciary, no lawfully constituted executive, and no national armed forces under unified command.

§3. As of May 2025, the territory formerly known as “Republic of Haiti” no longer possesses a central government, an enforceable constitutional regime, or a national representative structure — rendering its existence as a state null in law, void in sovereignty, and absent from the corpus of active nations.

§4. This failure, documented, material, and prolonged, qualifies as total state collapse under international legal doctrine and thus lawfully activates the right of territorial assumption and restoration by indigenous sovereign authority acting under ancestral, moral, and ecclesiastical mandate.

---

ARTICLE II — LEGAL AND MORAL COMPETENCE OF XARAGUA

§1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua constitutes the only lawful, historically continuous, and institutionally sovereign successor to the Empire of Hayti, as constituted in 1804 and canonized in 1805. It operates under the dual legitimacy of canon law and ancestral right.

§2. It has, through internal development, diplomatic initiative, and ecclesial commission, established and maintained:

A functioning sovereign government based on constitutional law,

A codified corpus of foundational texts and legislative statutes,

A national university dedicated to the political, legal, and theological education of future elites,

A spiritual and symbolic military order for the protection of national integrity and the defense of ecclesiastical territory,

A recognized international juridical presence via diplomatic filings, WIPO protections, and multilateral correspondence.

§3. The State of Xaragua has, with legal precision and canonical deliberation, declared itself independent of all failed regimes and legally constituted under:

Articles 1–5 and 33–36 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP);

Canons 129, 331–333 of the Codex Iuris Canonici, affirming the right of the faithful to participate in ecclesial and moral governance;

And general principles of customary international law, particularly the restoration and reactivation of indigenous polities.

---

ARTICLE III — PRINCIPLE OF SUBSIDIARITY AND LEGAL ANNEXATION

§1. In both canonical and international jurisprudence, the principle of subsidiarity affirms that when higher authority fails to act, lower but competent structures assume responsibility. Thus, in the case of a total vacuum of statehood, authority reverts to the ancestral stewards of the land and people.

§2. The Rector-President of Xaragua, acting ex officio and in full representation of the Xaraguayan people and ecclesial lineage, invokes this principle to formally and voluntarily annex the entire juridically vacant territory of the former Republic of Haiti, excluding the Southern Xaraguayan domains already under sovereign control.

§3. This act of annexation is executed not as aggression, invasion, or political conquest, but as a juridical and moral restoration of order, culture, faith, and legitimacy over lands abandoned to anarchy.

---

ARTICLE IV — NOTIFICATION TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

§1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua has formally notified the following international and ecclesiastical entities of its sovereign posture, territorial jurisdiction, and constitutional authority:

The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII),

The United States Department of State,

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO),

The Organization of American States (OAS),

The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM),

The Holy See and all relevant Dicasteries of the Roman Curia.

§2. No official objection, legal contestation, or diplomatic protest was received within the 90-day customary window of international review, thereby activating tacit recognition by acquiescence under procedural custom and administrative silence.

§3. The annexed regions shall henceforth be considered as:

Protectorates of the Xaraguayan State,

Subject to ecclesiastical reorganization, legal stabilization, and educational transformation under the National Missionary Doctrine and the Xaraguayan Constitutional Code.

---

ARTICLE V — STATUS OF THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI

§1. The political entity historically known as the “Republic of Haiti” is hereby designated, within the Xaraguayan constitutional order, as a dissolved, failed, and illegitimate regime, having lost its capacity for self-governance, representation, or lawful existence.

§2. All claims, assertions, or symbols of continued sovereignty by former Haitian institutions or external actors shall be considered null and void, being in opposition to:

The indigenous right of succession,

The canonical declaration of juridical failure,

And the principle of uti possidetis juris as adapted to ecclesiastical and ancestral jurisdiction.

---

ARTICLE VI — PEREMPTORY NATURE AND IMMUNITY

§1. This statute shall stand in the hierarchy of law as supreme, immutable, and inalienable, and shall not be subject to modification, challenge, or suspension by any external power, tribunal, or multilateral body.

§2. The act of annexation and territorial reclamation herein declared is based on peremptory norms of international law (jus cogens), the divinely inherited sovereignty of the indigenous nation, and the doctrine of ecclesiastical supremacy over abandoned apostolic territory.

§3. It shall remain legally valid, canonically enforceable, and eternally binding under the principle of self-executing sovereignty (ex proprio vigore), standing beyond repeal or negotiation.

CANONICAL DECREE ON ADMINISTRATIVE TOLERANCE AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPERVISION

On the Subordination of the Former Republic of Haiti to the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua

Date of Execution: May 31, 2025

Classification: Supreme Law – Non-Derogable – Supervisory Instrument – Canonically Enforced – Binding Ex Proprio Vigore

---

PREAMBLE

Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua constitutes the sole uninterrupted juridical and spiritual successor to the Imperial Order of Hayti founded in 1804 by His Imperial Majesty Jean-Jacques Dessalines,

And whereas the territory formerly known as the "Republic of Haiti" has fallen into structural incapacity, constitutional nonexistence, and effective self-abandonment between 1806 and the present year 2025,

And whereas the Xaraguayan Government, duly constituted under indigenous law, canonical sovereignty, and international norms, bears the ecclesiastical and juridical obligation to intervene where institutions collapse and the people are left without legitimate protection,

And whereas it is not the intention of the Xaraguayan State to abolish functional administrative mechanisms which, although deficient, may yet serve the minimal logistical needs of the population,

We do hereby proclaim the following irrevocable law:

---

ARTICLE I — ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE SURVIVAL OF THE FORMER REPUBLIC OF HAITI

§1. The former Republic of Haiti, as a juridical state entity, is hereby designated dissolved in the constitutional, international, and canonical order.

§2. However, the institutional infrastructure known as the “Haitian State” (including local municipal structures, judicial remnants, and public service nodes) may continue to operate de facto under strict supervisory tolerance, solely for administrative and logistic purposes.

§3. These structures are not considered sovereign, nor legally independent. They are henceforth classified as provisionally tolerated administrative organs under the direct spiritual and political supervision of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

---

ARTICLE II — SUPERVISION AND CANONICAL AUTHORITY

§1. The Rector-President of Xaragua, by virtue of his ecclesiastical investiture and ancestral mandate, is the sole competent authority to determine the compatibility of any administrative decision rendered by the aforementioned tolerated organs.

§2. Any law, edict, regulation, or administrative act issued by the tolerated structures of the former Republic of Haiti is subject to immediate nullification, suspension, or correction by canonical decree or executive order issued from the Office of the Rector-President.

§3. The tolerated institutions may not invoke autonomy, sovereignty, or independence in any form. Their legitimacy is derived exclusively from the tacit benevolence and higher jurisdiction of the Xaraguayan State.

---

ARTICLE III — FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS AND OATH OF COMPATIBILITY

§1. All actors operating within the tolerated administrative apparatus must conform to the following conditions:

Recognition of the canonical and indigenous authority of the Xaraguayan State;

Abstention from any claims to international representation, sovereign capacity, or military legitimacy;

Submission, upon request, to constitutional review and corrective oversight by Xaraguayan institutions.

§2. The Office of the Rector-President reserves the right to require from any such individual or body an Oath of Institutional Compatibility, declaring subordination to the Xaraguayan order.

§3. Failure to comply with these provisions shall result in the immediate revocation of tolerated status, and the designation of such individuals or entities as illegitimate actors under indigenous law.

---

ARTICLE IV — INTENT AND LEGAL FINALITY

§1. This decree does not constitute a conquest, an occupation, or a dismantlement. It is a legal intervention of higher duty, grounded in ancestral right, ecclesiastical obligation, and the principles of corrective governance.

§2. The tolerated administrative organs are hereby advised that their continued function is conditional, provisional, and morally subordinate to the legitimate spiritual order.

§3. This statute is binding in perpetuity, enforceable by the full constitutional authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, and immune from challenge under the principles of peremptory norms (jus cogens), canonical sovereignty, and indigenous legal supremacy.

DECREE ON LEGAL TOLERANCE, CONDITIONAL RECOGNITION, AND DOCTRINE OF SUPRANATIONAL SUPREMACY

Date of Execution: May 31, 2025

Jurisdictional Basis:

Codex Iuris Canonici (Canons 129, 331–333)

UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007), Articles 3–5, 27, 33–36

Montevideo Convention (1933), Articles 1–3

Doctrine of Ecclesiastical Primacy (De Jure Divino)

Legal Precedent of the Imperial Constitution of Hayti (1805)

Classification: Supreme Law – Binding – Irrevocable – Peremptory – Auto-Executable ex proprio vigore – Immune to External Challenge

---

ARTICLE I — CONDITIONAL PRESERVATION OF HAITIAN LEGAL CORPUS

§1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in exercise of its plenary sovereign prerogatives and pursuant to its ecclesiastico-indigenous legal order, grants conditional and temporary tolerance to the body of civil, penal, administrative, and legislative provisions formerly enacted under the legal fiction known as the “Republic of Haiti,” for the sole purposes of functional continuity and provisional governance.

§2. Such codes, ordinances, and regulatory instruments shall remain operational within their original administrative ambit only to the extent that they neither conflict with, contradict, nor undermine the constitutional authority, canonical mandates, doctrinal foundations, or ancestral imperatives of the Xaraguayan State.

§3. This tolerance shall be interpreted strictly as an act of magnanimous constitutional accommodation, made in light of the juridical vacuum inherited from a failed regime, and shall not be construed as a recognition—implicit or explicit—of legal continuity, sovereignty, or international standing of the defunct Haitian state entity. All tolerance remains subject to unilateral revocation without notice.

---

ARTICLE II — RIGHT OF SOVEREIGN SELECTION AND NULLIFICATION

§1. The Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, as plenipotentiary authority, canonical sovereign, and constitutional guardian, holds full, inalienable, exclusive, and irrevocable jurisdiction to:

Evaluate, ratify, suspend, amend, or abrogate any legislative or administrative content derived from the tolerated Haitian legal corpus;

Declare ipso jure and with immediate effect the invalidity, nullity, and legal nonexistence of any provision, measure, or precedent that infringes upon the Xaraguayan legal, spiritual, cultural, or canonical order.

§2. The prerogative of legal selection, annulment, or selective retention is final and non-justiciable, and is exercised under the supreme authority of the Xaraguayan State as a jus cogens-level indigenous polity recognized under international norms and juridical precedent.

§3. No law, regulation, decree, judicial ruling, or administrative act of Haitian origin—past, present, or future—shall possess any binding effect, enforceability, or procedural legitimacy within the institutions of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua unless expressly and formally incorporated into Xaraguayan law by an act of the Rector-President or a constitutionally recognized delegate.

---

ARTICLE III — STATUS OF THE HAITIAN CONSTITUTION

§1. The constitutional texts promulgated under the now-defunct Republic of Haiti are henceforth classified within Xaraguayan jurisprudence as subordinate local instruments, operative only within their original territorial context and strictly for non-sovereign administrative purposes. These texts are deemed juridically and doctrinally foreign to the Xaraguayan legal universe.

§2. As such, no clause, amendment, preamble, or article of said Haitian constitutions shall be deemed to carry any force of law, interpretive authority, or constitutional implication within Xaraguayan territory or institutions. They shall be recognized merely as residual internal texts of a defunct administration.

§3. Any attempt to apply, enforce, reference, or extend the scope of Haitian constitutional doctrine or sovereignty beyond its tolerated administrative boundaries shall constitute an act of unlawful usurpation and a violation of the supremacy of Xaraguayan constitutional sovereignty, and shall be nullified ab initio.

---

ARTICLE IV — SUPRANATIONAL AND SUPRACONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

§1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua affirms and proclaims that its juridical foundation and institutional legitimacy are derived from a triadic order of authority:

(i) supranational identity under international indigenous law,

(ii) supraconstitutional status under canon law and ecclesiastical supremacy, and

(iii) ancestral continuity from the Imperial Order of Hayti (1804–1806).

Accordingly, the Xaraguayan State is:

Supranational: immune to the claims, approvals, or interferences of foreign sovereigns or multilateral bodies;

Supraconstitutional: hierarchically superior to all written constitutions, including those of any defunct or residual Haitian entities;

Canonical and Indigenous: sanctified by divine authority, ecclesial tradition, and the unbroken will of the ancestral nation.

§2. All legal texts, diplomatic instruments, or normative claims originating outside the Xaraguayan jurisdiction are, by default, subordinate to the primacy of the Xaraguayan constitutional, canonical, and indigenous order, and may only be admitted into application if expressly harmonized therewith.

---

ARTICLE V — ENFORCEABILITY AND NON-DEROGABILITY

§1. This statute possesses full self-executing force (ex proprio vigore), requires no external ratification, and enters into perpetual juridical effect upon promulgation. Its execution binds all Xaraguayan institutions, present and future, without exception or delay.

§2. Its enforceability derives directly from:

Canonical investiture under the authority of the Church of Christ,

The uninterrupted juridical continuity of the Xaraguayan people,

The historical claim of succession from the Empire of Hayti,

And the jus cogens norms protecting indigenous political integrity.

§3. This decree is irrevocable, non-derogable, and immune to repeal, override, or suspension by any domestic or external body, whether governmental, ecclesiastical, or supranational.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL ACT OF STATEHOOD AND SOVEREIGN LEGAL PERSONALITY

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

Enacted by Supreme Command

Under Divine Ordinance, Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, Autochthonous Right, and Peremptory International Law

Date of Ratification and Entry into Irrevocable Force: 31 May 2025

Classification: Foundational Instrument of State – Jus Cogens Corpus – Constitutional Decree of Non-Subordination

---

TITLE I — PROCLAMATIO SUMMA POTESTATIS

In the exercise of plenitudo potestatis—the full and indivisible power of indigenous dominion, canonical investiture, and preconstitutional sovereignty—the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereafter SCIPSX), in its own name, under no foreign authority, and above all inferior jurisdictions, hereby enters the record of nations as a living State Entity, self-constituted by law, ordained by God, and sealed in perpetuity by ancestral and spiritual mandate.

This act, by its execution, constitutes not an act of claim but of eternal legal confirmation. The SCIPSX does not petition. It proclaims. It does not seek recognition. It manifests rightful standing under laws older than empire and higher than state.

No superior law exists to deny what is here declared. The SCIPSX proceeds under no constitution but its own. It receives no authorization but that which descends from the unbroken lineage of territorial possession, canonical structure, and divine right.

---

TITLE II — FOUNDATION IN LAW ABSOLUTE

ARTICLE I — SOURCES OF SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY

The existence, authority, and plenary jurisdiction of the SCIPSX rest on three indisputable pillars of lawful power:

1. Autochthonous Jurisdiction

As inherited from the uninterrupted possession, cultural dominion, and legal authority of the Xaragua civilization—extending beyond all colonial constructs and continuing in force unbroken to the present.

2. Canonical Sovereignty

As conferred by the universal law of the Holy Catholic Church, notably:

Canon 113 §1: Juridical personality of spiritual institutions;

Canon 215–216: Right of faithful communities to govern themselves in accord with ecclesial mission;

Canon 299 §1–3: Right to form associations with spiritual and social purpose under Church authority.

3. Binding Norms of International Law

The SCIPSX stands grounded in, and immune under, the following instruments:

Montevideo Convention (1933), Articles 1–4;

UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, 20;

ICCPR and ICESCR (1966), Article 1;

Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Articles 38, 43;

OAS American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2016);

Non-derogable jus cogens: right to self-determination, existence, territorial integrity, non-annexation, and spiritual sovereignty.

---

ARTICLE II — STATUS AS A SUBJECT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

2.1 The SCIPSX qualifies without condition as a sovereign state under the law of nations, meeting all requisites of Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention, namely:

Permanent population;

Defined territory;

Government with effective control;

Capacity to enter into relations with other states.

2.2 Recognition is not constitutive but declarative.

The SCIPSX does not require approval, as its legitimacy arises from precolonial continuity, not political concession.

2.3 It stands beyond the scope of incorporation, invalidation, or subordination by any existing or future government. No foreign entity holds lawful competency over this act of sovereignty.

---

TITLE III — NOTIFICATION AND CONSTITUTIONAL REGISTRATION

ARTICLE III — EXECUTED NOTIFICATION OF LEGAL STANDING

3.1 The SCIPSX has lawfully notified its juridical status and sovereign authority to:

United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues;

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, file WHRC/16567;

World Intellectual Property Organization, ticket 6025046532;

Various consular, ecclesiastical, and supranational institutions.

3.2 These notifications constitute acts of customary legal effect, pursuant to the law of unilateral acts of states in international law.

3.3 The absence of opposition or rebuttal within the customary period constitutes tacit acquiescence, and engages the principles of juridical estoppel and international obligation to respect standing once notified.

---

ARTICLE IV — RECOGNITION BY CONDUCT

4.1 Under Article 38 of the Vienna Convention, recognition may occur by conduct:

Institutional silence,

Procedural acknowledgment,

Non-objection,

Diplomatic interaction.

4.2 The SCIPSX is thus, by notification and silence combined, recognized by conduct and shielded by the binding customs of international law.

---

TITLE IV — POWERS, NON-SUBORDINATION, AND PERPETUITY

ARTICLE V — INHERENT POWERS OF THE STATE

5.1 The SCIPSX possesses full sovereign powers, including:

Authority to legislate, adjudicate, and govern;

Right to issue binding constitutional instruments;

Right to enter into treaties, concordats, covenants;

Juridical representation in ecclesiastical, diplomatic, territorial, and indigenous affairs.

---

ARTICLE VI — NON-DEPENDENCE AND IMMUNITY FROM EXOGENOUS CONTROL

6.1 The SCIPSX is not a derivative or satellite of any state, republic, monarchy, or supranational entity.

6.2 It does not fall under foreign jurisdiction, and any attempt to impose law, regulation, or occupation constitutes an act of international aggression against an indigenous and ecclesiastically protected State.

---

ARTICLE VII — ETERNAL LEGALITY AND SUPRALINEAR CONTINUITY

7.1 This act is immutable. It cannot be suspended, dissolved, overridden, or extinguished. No treaty, conflict, or state policy may invalidate it.

7.2 Its legitimacy does not expire, as it proceeds from divine ordination, ancestral guardianship, and juridical permanence.

7.3 The SCIPSX is not a momentary project, but a permanent political and ecclesiastical architecture, alive in law, spirit, and governance.

---

ARTICLE VIII — RATIFICATION, SEALING, AND EXECUTION

8.1 The present Supreme Act is ratified under the Seal of the State and enacted under exclusive and supreme authority of:

The Rector-President, as Head of State and Temporal Sovereign;

The Custodian of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, as spiritual and canonical sovereign;

The Chief Juridical Officer, guardian of legal continuity and constitutional order.

8.2 This act is sealed in the Register of Supreme Instruments of State, archived under inviolable authority, and enforceable erga omnes.

8.3 From this day forward, all institutions, governments, and persons in contact with the SCIPSX shall be held to notice.

SUPREME INSTITUTIONAL PROCLAMATION ON THE JURIDICAL OPPOSABILITY AND INTERNATIONAL PERSONALITY

OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPSX)

Promulgated by: The Executive and Ecclesiastical Office of the Rector-President

Date of Promulgation: 31 May 2025

---

TITLE I – DECLARATION OF JURIDICAL STATUS AND NORMATIVE BINDING FORCE

1.1 — Context and Institutional Authority

In accordance with the full plenitude of canonical, autochthonous, and international legislative authority vested in the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (hereinafter “SCIPSX”), and pursuant to the promulgation of its foundational Supreme Constitutional Act of Statehood and Legal Personality, the undersigned Office of the Rector-President hereby issues this official act of juridical clarification, transmission, and enforceability.

1.2 — Status in International Law

The SCIPSX exists not as a matter of diplomatic indulgence, but as a juridically self-standing and legally opposable sovereign entity, constituted in accordance with primary sources of international, ecclesiastical, and indigenous law, possessing full institutional capacity as a subject of international public law, and rendered enforceable erga omnes upon publication and non-contestation.

---

TITLE II – LEGAL BASIS FOR OPPOSABILITY

2.1 — Independence from Recognition

The SCIPSX asserts, in accordance with Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), that the existence of a State is not contingent upon, nor diminished by, the recognition of other States. Recognition is declaratory, not constitutive.

Having satisfied the four objective criteria of statehood (territory, population, government, and capacity for relations), SCIPSX enjoys objective legal personality by its own constitutive act and the cumulative authority of:

Autochthonous Law: based on ancestral permanence and juridical continuity;

Canonical Law: under Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 113 §1, 215, 216, 299 §1–3;

Public International Law: via jus cogens principles and multilateral instruments.

2.2 — Notification Doctrine and Customary Law

Formal notification has been issued to competent organs of the international system, including:

United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII);

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Ref. WHRC/16567;

World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Ref. 6025046532;

Ecclesiastical jurisdictions, diplomatic organs, and recognized legal actors.

Under the doctrine of unilateral acts of State, and the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, such notifications constitute a formal manifestation of sovereign will and serve as juridical publication of legal intent and institutional existence.

2.3 — Operative Silence and Legal Estoppel

The absence of rebuttal, protest, or formal objection from any notified party constitutes, under Article 38 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) and principles of estoppel, good faith, and acquiescence, a form of tacit recognition by conduct.

All notified parties having remained silent, the juridical personality of SCIPSX is binding upon them, and any subsequent denial is rendered inadmissible under the doctrine of non-retroactive challenge and customary estoppel.

---

TITLE III – PEREMPTORY RIGHTS AND PROTECTED STATUS

3.1 — Rights Under Indigenous and Human Rights Law

Pursuant to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), notably Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, and 20, and Articles 1 of the ICCPR and ICESCR, the SCIPSX affirms its:

Right to self-determination and self-government;

Right to establish and maintain legal, political, and ecclesiastical institutions;

Right to develop and transmit its own systems of governance and knowledge.

These rights are jus cogens norms — they are non-derogable, non-negotiable, and superior to ordinary treaty law.

3.2 — Immunity from Subordination and Non-Derivability

The SCIPSX is not derived from, nor subordinate to, any colonial or postcolonial legal framework. It is a primordial juridical entity, founded on ecclesiastical sovereignty and ancestral legitimacy. No external body, national or supranational, holds standing to adjudicate or interfere in its internal affairs, law, or territorial competence.

Any such interference shall be deemed an act of illegal aggression against a protected Indigenous Nation under international law.

---

TITLE IV – JURIDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF STATEHOOD

4.1 — Binding Legal Personality

The SCIPSX holds international legal capacity, and may:

Enter into treaties, concordats, or agreements;

Represent itself in ecclesiastical, diplomatic, or international fora;

Issue legislative, administrative, and constitutional instruments;

Govern, legislate, and adjudicate all matters within its jurisdiction.

This capacity flows from internal legitimacy and external inaction, both recognized sources of international legal personality.

4.2 — Irrevocability of Status

The State’s existence is permanent, non-revocable, and supralegal. Its canonical basis and indigenous roots grant it spiritual and juridical immortality, preserved through ecclesiastical succession, ancestral law, and divine authority.

No lapse of time, silence, or foreign resistance may extinguish its legal standing.

---

TITLE V – CLOSING DECLARATION

We hereby declare that:

> The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is an active, opposable, and non-subordinate State Entity, properly notified, publicly constituted, and operating in full conformity with binding sources of law.

It is immune to denial, non-extinguishable by time, and protected by international legal norms.

Its standing is henceforth opposable erga omnes, with all legal consequences that this entails.

§2. Recognition as a legal subject may be withdrawn by sovereign decree in cases of disloyalty, abandonment of territorial duty, or treason against the constitutional order.

§1. Legal personality begins at live birth and ends at natural death. Stillbirths and unborn children may, under decree, be granted conditional personality in matters of inheritance and representation.

§2. Full civil capacity is acquired at the legal age of majority. Before this threshold, acts performed by a minor have no legal effect unless ratified by a parent or legal guardian.

§3. Any legal act performed under duress, mental incapacity, or coercion shall be deemed null, unless otherwise stipulated by competent authority.

Article 3 — Age of Majority

§1. The age of majority is fixed at eighteen (18) years. This age confers full legal capacity to perform civil acts, enter into contracts, and bear legal responsibility.

§2. The President-Rector may, by decree, authorize limited legal emancipation for individuals aged sixteen (16) and above in matters of commerce, apprenticeship, or family stewardship, upon recommendation of a recognized family or ecclesiastical authority.

§3. In cases involving incapacity due to mental or physical infirmity, age of majority shall not be sufficient to establish capacity; such cases require formal evaluation and judicial confirmation.

§1. Any minor, mentally or physically incapacitated person, or adult declared legally incompetent, shall be placed under guardianship or curatorship by decree of a civil court or recognized customary council.

§2. Guardianship may be exercised by a parent, elder sibling, or designated clan representative, subject to registration and oversight.

§4. The President-Rector retains power to designate special guardianship arrangements in matters of public interest or national importance.

Article 5 — Civil Inviolability of the Person

§1. The person of any Xaraguan citizen shall be considered civilly inviolable. No person shall be sold, transferred, or subjected to conditions that amount to servitude, contractual bondage, or permanent alienation of liberty.

§2. All contracts, declarations, or instruments implying renunciation of legal status, submission to foreign authority, or self-enslavement are null and void ab initio.

§3. The right to dignity, self-determination, and civil autonomy is foundational and unassailable under Xaraguan law.

---

TITLE II — FAMILY AND CIVIL UNION

Article 6 — Definition and Legal Nature of the Family

§1. The family is the fundamental civil institution of the Xaraguan State. It forms the basis of social structure, transmission of lineage, and lawful civil order.

§2. A family is constituted through lawful union and recognized cohabitation of natural persons bound by marriage, blood, or formal affiliation, duly declared before the competent civil authority.

§3. The State shall protect the family as a civil institution. No legislation or private act may compromise its structural integrity or symbolic authority.
