SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SUPREME CONSOLIDATED CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
ON THE DISTINCT JURIDICAL ORDERS OF XARAGUA AND THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI, THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT, INTERNAL SOVEREIGNTY, LEGAL RECEPTION, AND INSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY
Issuing Authority: Office of the Rector-President
Legal Classification: Supreme Constitutional Instrument — Controlling and Consolidated Doctrine
Constitutional Effect: Superseding Interpretative Authority over Prior Inconsistent Instruments
Jurisdiction: Internal Constitutional, Customary, Institutional, Academic, Ecclesial and Proprietary Order of Xaragua
PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter referred to as Xaragua, acting through its Supreme Constitutional Authority and in continuity with the ancestral Indigenous people, historical institutions, customary communities and territorial traditions from which its constituent authority proceeds, hereby promulgates the present Supreme Consolidated Constitutional Law.
Xaragua is constituted as an Indigenous customary order, constitutionally denominated as a State, Catholic in doctrine, private in institutional organization, supralocal in operation and non-Westphalian in juridical form.
Its existence does not depend upon classification as a conventional nation-state, possession of the administrative apparatus of the Republic of Haiti, diplomatic recognition as a separate territorial republic, admission to an intergovernmental organization or territorial secession from the internationally recognized Haitian State.
The Republic of Haiti remains the internationally recognized nation-state through which the territory is represented within the conventional interstate system. It retains the international personality, diplomatic relations, treaty participation, consular mechanisms, border administration, civil documentation and general public functions associated with that status.
Xaragua formally recognizes this international position.
Within the distinct constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the term Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter RAU, designates the functional position occupied by the Haitian civil-administrative apparatus in relation to the Indigenous customary order, autonomous communities, institutions, members and protected interests of Xaragua.
This functional designation does not abolish, deny or extinguish the international personality of the Republic of Haiti. It establishes the constitutional distinction between the conventional nation-state and the autonomous customary order of Xaragua.
The present Law consolidates that distinction and supplies the controlling framework through which all prior laws, declarations, annexes, proclamations, notifications and institutional acts shall henceforth be interpreted.
TITLE I — FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Article 1 — Juridical Nature of Xaragua
1.1
Xaragua is an organized Indigenous customary polity and a permanent constitutional order possessing its own doctrine, offices, institutions, rules of membership, procedures of succession, academic authority, internal jurisdiction and mechanisms of institutional action.
1.2
The constitutional designation State identifies the complete and organized character of this internal order. It is not employed as a declaration that Xaragua constitutes a separate Westphalian republic exercising exclusive general sovereignty over every inhabitant and administrative function within the internationally recognized territory of Haiti.
1.3
The sovereign character of Xaragua signifies the supremacy of its constituent authority within its proper constitutional and institutional domain.
1.4
Its Indigenous character identifies the ancestral people, customary continuity, territorial connections and collective rights from which its constituent authority proceeds.
1.5
Its Catholic character establishes its doctrinal, spiritual, ethical, educational and institutional orientation.
1.6
Its private character determines the ownership, administration, admission, governance and controlled operation of its institutional apparatus.
1.7
Its supralocal character permits Xaragua to organize members, institutions, affiliated communities and protected interests across multiple territories without requiring the creation of a continuous and exclusively inhabited national territory.
Article 2 — International Position of the Republic of Haiti
2.1
The Republic of Haiti remains an internationally recognized State and continues to possess the conventional international personality attributed to it within the established interstate system.
2.2
Xaragua recognizes that the Republic of Haiti maintains diplomatic missions, treaty relations, consular functions, internationally accepted civil documentation, border administration and representation before intergovernmental institutions.
2.3
Such recognition does not incorporate Xaragua into the internal constitutional doctrine of the Haitian Republic, extinguish the distinct Indigenous order of Xaragua or confer automatic authority upon every Haitian act within Xaragua’s proper institutional sphere.
2.4
The Republic of Haiti and Xaragua do not perform identical constitutional functions.
The Republic of Haiti operates as the conventional nation-state and general public administration.
Xaragua operates as a distinct Indigenous customary, Catholic, private and supralocal constitutional order.
2.5
Neither order is required to duplicate the entire institutional apparatus of the other.
Article 3 — Meaning of the Residual Administrative Unit
3.1
The designation Residual Administrative Unit identifies the Haitian administrative apparatus insofar as it provides general civil, documentary, infrastructural, municipal and public services within territories and among populations connected to Xaragua.
3.2
The term describes a functional relationship within Xaragua’s constitutional doctrine. It does not purport to revoke the recognition of the Republic of Haiti as an internationally recognized State.
3.3
The RAU may continue to perform, among other functions:
— civil registration and the issuance of conventional identity documents;
— passport and border administration;
— municipal administration;
— public taxation under the Haitian legal system;
— sanitation and waste management;
— maintenance of roads and public infrastructure;
— public education and healthcare;
— policing and ordinary public security;
— domestic judicial administration;
— transportation, utilities and general public services;
— diplomatic and consular representation within the conventional interstate system.
3.4
Xaragua may use, coordinate with or rely upon these administrative mechanisms wherever doing so serves the practical interests of its members, institutions and affiliated communities.
3.5
Such use constitutes administrative interoperability and shall not be interpreted as constitutional absorption, abandonment of customary identity or dissolution of the institutional order of Xaragua.
TITLE II — REJECTION OF SECESSION AND TERRITORIAL PARTITION
Article 4 — No Demand for Conventional Independence
4.1
Xaragua does not seek territorial secession from the Republic of Haiti and does not request the establishment of a separate Westphalian nation-state.
4.2
The autonomy of Xaragua is institutional, customary, constitutional, academic, proprietary and supralocal. It does not depend upon the partition of the internationally recognized territory of Haiti.
4.3
The people connected to Xaragua do not inhabit a single, continuous and demographically isolated territorial block.
Members, descendants, families and affiliated persons may reside:
— within the ancestral and historically claimed regions of Xaragua;
— elsewhere within territories administered by the RAU;
— within Port-au-Prince and other Haitian urban centers;
— within neighboring jurisdictions;
— or throughout the international diaspora.
4.4
Residence outside a customary region does not automatically extinguish ancestral connection, family continuity, institutional membership or legal affiliation with Xaragua.
Article 5 — Family, Descent and Territorial Interconnection
5.1
The Xaraguayan people are interconnected through marriage, descent, kinship, inheritance, migration, property, education, employment, religious life, community membership and institutional participation.
5.2
Members of the same family may reside simultaneously within Xaraguayan customary regions, elsewhere under RAU administration, in the Haitian capital and outside the internationally recognized territory of Haiti.
5.3
A conventional secessionist boundary would create unnecessary conflicts involving:
— divided families and marriages;
— competing nationality classifications;
— inheritance and succession;
— civil registration;
— property ownership;
— residence and freedom of movement;
— community affiliation;
— administrative jurisdiction;
— and the status of descendants born outside the customary regions.
5.4
Xaragua shall not impose such artificial territorial separation upon an interconnected Indigenous population.
5.5
Its constitutional organization shall follow the actual continuity of its people, institutions, communities, properties and legal relations rather than the exclusive territorial assumptions of the conventional nation-state.
TITLE III — AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE INTEROPERABILITY
Article 6 — Autonomy of Communities
6.1
Communities affiliated with or protected by Xaragua retain authority over their internal customary institutions, local affairs, membership structures and community priorities in accordance with the common constitutional doctrine of Xaragua.
6.2
Each community may determine the extent to which it uses public services maintained by the RAU.
6.3
A community may:
— use Haitian public services directly;
— establish complementary Xaraguayan institutions;
— preserve its own customary procedures;
— coordinate particular functions with municipal or national authorities;
— or request assistance from Xaragua where ordinary public administration is absent, defective or insufficient.
6.4
Use of a public service does not constitute a transfer of constituent authority.
6.5
Xaragua shall function as the supralocal constitutional guarantor of institutional continuity, customary rights, intercommunity coordination and collective protection.
Article 7 — Concurrent Use of Documentation
7.1
Members and officers of Xaragua may use documentation issued by the Republic of Haiti wherever required by public authorities, foreign governments, transportation systems, financial institutions or international administrative procedures.
7.2
Xaraguayan documents may be presented together with Haitian or other internationally accepted documents.
7.3
The respective documents perform distinct functions:
— the nation-state document satisfies conventional administrative requirements;
— the Xaraguayan document establishes identity, membership, office, status, affiliation or institutional capacity within the order of Xaragua.
7.4
Use of a Haitian passport, civil record or identity document shall not extinguish Xaraguayan identity or institutional membership.
7.5
No person shall be required to abandon the practical benefits of the recognized nation-state system in order to maintain a lawful connection with Xaragua.
TITLE IV — INTERNAL SOVEREIGNTY AND LEGAL RECEPTION
Article 8 — Supremacy Within the Xaraguayan Order
8.1
The Constitution, supreme laws, rectoral acts, institutional statutes and customary principles of Xaragua possess binding force within the institutions, offices, membership, affiliated properties and internal legal relations of Xaragua.
8.2
This supremacy is internal to the constitutional order of Xaragua and does not require the universal invalidation of the laws of the Republic of Haiti.
8.3
All officers, institutions, departments, courts, academic bodies, communications organs and registered members of Xaragua shall remain subject to the applicable laws and regulations of Xaragua within their respective institutional capacities.
Article 9 — Reception of Haitian and External Acts
9.1
No legislation, decree, regulation, policy, treaty implementation measure, international resolution or governmental decision adopted or accepted by the Republic of Haiti shall acquire automatic constitutional authority within the internal order of Xaragua.
9.2
The competent authority of Xaragua may:
— receive the act in full;
— incorporate it subject to reservations;
— adapt it to the institutional and customary order;
— limit its application to defined administrative matters;
— suspend its reception;
— or declare it internally inapplicable.
9.3
An act may be declared internally inapplicable where it conflicts with:
— the Constitution of Xaragua;
— protected Indigenous rights;
— customary institutions;
— Catholic doctrine applicable within Xaragua;
— the integrity of Xaraguayan membership or property;
— institutional security;
— academic autonomy;
— or the fundamental interests of the order.
9.4
A declaration of internal inapplicability establishes that the act shall produce no governing effect within the institutions and proper jurisdiction of Xaragua.
9.5
Such declaration does not purport to repeal the act throughout the Republic of Haiti or prevent its application to persons and institutions situated exclusively within the Haitian legal order.
Article 10 — Constitutional Reservations
10.1
Xaragua may publish doctrinal and constitutional reservations concerning treaties, international resolutions, foreign agreements or transnational policies accepted by the Republic of Haiti.
10.2
These reservations shall define the position of Xaragua and determine the internal treatment of the relevant instrument within its own order.
10.3
The Republic of Haiti may continue to remain internationally bound according to its conventional legal position, while Xaragua preserves its distinct internal position concerning institutional reception.
10.4
This mechanism permits Xaragua to use the recognized international system without surrendering its constitutional power of internal determination.
TITLE V — INSTITUTIONAL COMPETENCES OF XARAGUA
Article 11 — General Institutional Competence
Xaragua shall exercise authority over:
— its constitutional doctrine and internal legislation;
— its institutions, offices and succession procedures;
— membership, citizenship, e-residency and institutional affiliation;

— Indigenous historical and cultural preservation;
— academic doctrine, education and professional formation;
— Catholic institutional life within its private association;
— communications, archives and official publications;
— economic initiatives and internal financial instruments;
— digital infrastructure and intellectual property;
— protective services lawfully established for its institutions and communities;
— and relations undertaken by each organ within its proper institutional field.

12.4
The University shall not claim authority over every school, curriculum or academic institution administered by the Republic of Haiti.
12.5
Its authority shall be supreme within the academic order of Xaragua and any affiliated institution that voluntarily accepts its jurisdiction.
Article 13 — Economic and Financial Institutions
13.1
Xaragua may establish banks, treasuries, funds, currencies, digital instruments, commercial enterprises and cooperative economic mechanisms for use within its institutional and contractual order.
13.2
Such institutions may operate independently from external financial systems to the extent permitted by their constitutional mandates and applicable contractual arrangements.
13.3
Xaragua may refuse within its institutions any debt instrument, financial dependency or economic arrangement incompatible with its doctrine.
13.4
The State may protect the collective property, resources and economic interests lawfully entrusted to it by members, owners or affiliated communities.
13.5
No general expropriation of unrelated banks, enterprises or property situated exclusively within the Haitian legal order shall occur solely by force of an internal Xaraguayan declaration.
Article 14 — Protective and Security Institutions
14.1
Xaragua may maintain disciplined protective institutions responsible for the security of its members, facilities, archives, communications systems, cultural patrimony and affiliated property.
14.2
Their competence shall be defined by the Constitution, internal law and the lawful scope of the institutional order.
14.3
Protective institutions may develop capabilities concerning:
— physical protection;
— emergency coordination;
— digital and cyber defence;
— secure communications;
— protection of archives and infrastructure;
— community resilience;
— and preservation of sites lawfully entrusted to Xaragua.
14.4
The existence of such institutions shall not be interpreted as a claim to replace every police, military, border or public-security function of the internationally recognized Haitian State.
Article 15 — Media, Culture and Archives
15.1
Xaragua may establish official media, broadcasting services, journals, archives, cultural institutions and intellectual-property systems.
15.2
These organs shall possess official authority within the institutional order of Xaragua.
15.3
Xaragua may regulate content issued in its name, published through its official platforms or produced by institutions operating under its authority.
15.4
It shall not claim general censorship authority over every private publication, religious expression, artistic work or media organization operating exclusively under the legal order of the Republic of Haiti.
TITLE VI — CATHOLIC AND CANONICAL POSITION
Article 16 — Catholic Institutional Character
16.1
Catholicism is a constituent doctrine of Xaragua and governs its spiritual orientation, institutional ethics, educational vocation, ceremonial life and conception of authority.
16.2
The Catholic dimension of Xaragua is organized through the lawful freedom of the Christian faithful to establish and direct private associations and apostolic, charitable, cultural and educational undertakings.
16.3
Xaragua does not constitute itself as a diocese, public ecclesiastical juridical person, organ of the Holy See or authority exercising the universal powers reserved to the Roman Pontiff and competent ecclesiastical offices.
16.4
Notification to ecclesiastical authorities establishes notice and institutional transparency. Silence or absence of objection shall not, by itself, be interpreted as the canonical erection of Xaragua as a public ecclesiastical authority.
16.5
Ecclesiastical sanctions reserved by canon law to competent Church authorities shall not be imposed by Xaragua beyond the internal disciplinary measures lawfully available to its private Catholic institutions.
TITLE VII — DIGITAL PUBLICATION AND OFFICIAL RECORDS
Article 17 — Official Digital Gazette
17.1
The domain xaraguauniversity.com, together with any successor platform formally designated by the Rectorate, constitutes an official digital publication organ of Xaragua.
17.2
Constitutional laws, decrees, regulations, institutional notices, academic acts and official declarations acquire internal publication upon their formal promulgation through an authorized section of the platform.
17.3
Publication establishes authenticity, notice and enforceability within the proper jurisdiction of Xaragua.
17.4
Not every historical, academic, explanatory or cultural text appearing on the platform shall possess legislative force.
17.5
Normative acts shall be identifiable by title, issuing authority, date, legal classification and formal promulgation.
17.6
The official digital archive shall preserve the continuity of the constitutional and institutional record of Xaragua.
TITLE VIII — INTERNATIONAL AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Article 18 — Institutional External Relations
18.1
Xaragua may communicate and establish relations according to the differentiated competence of its institutions.
18.2
Universities may engage academic counterparts.
Catholic bodies may engage ecclesial counterparts.
Indigenous authorities may engage Indigenous institutions and relevant international forums.
Economic bodies may establish contractual relations.
Courts and legal offices may transmit juridical instruments.
Communications organs may publish and exchange official information.
18.3
Such institutional relations do not require Xaragua to claim the exclusive diplomatic representation of the Republic of Haiti.
18.4
Formal transmission of a document establishes proof of notification. It does not, without an express response, establish consent, recognition, ratification or acceptance by the recipient.
18.5
The absence of response shall preserve the fact and date of notification without altering the constitutional position of Xaragua or creating obligations for the notified party.
TITLE IX — HISTORICAL CONTINUITY
Article 19 — Distinct Forms of Continuity
19.1
The constitutional identity of Xaragua draws upon several related but juridically distinct forms of continuity.
19.2
Its ancestral foundation proceeds from the Indigenous Cacicazgo of Xaragua and the continuing connection of its people with their historical lands, communities and cultural memory.
19.3
Its constitutional inheritance includes the Dessalinian principles of independence, territorial integrity and autonomous political organization associated with the Imperial State of Hayti.
19.4
The State of the South, the political order associated with General Benoît Joseph André Rigaud, the Republic of Southern Hayti and the autonomous historical communities of the Greater South and North-West constitute regional precedents contributing to the political and institutional heritage of Xaragua.
19.5
These historical bodies shall not be treated as identical juridical persons.
19.6
Contemporary Xaragua constitutes the organized institutional expression through which these ancestral, constitutional, territorial and regional inheritances are preserved and developed under a unified modern doctrine.
TITLE X — CONTROLLING INTERPRETATION AND CONSOLIDATION
Article 20 — Supremacy of the Present Law
20.1
The present Supreme Consolidated Constitutional Law constitutes the current and controlling doctrine governing:
— the relationship between Xaragua and the Republic of Haiti;
— the meaning of the Residual Administrative Unit;
— territorial and institutional jurisdiction;
— internal legal supremacy;
— reception of external laws and treaties;
— Catholic and canonical classification;
— international notification;
— and the scope of Xaragua’s institutional competences.
20.2
All prior instruments remain part of the constitutional and historical archives of Xaragua insofar as they are compatible with the present Law.
20.3
Any prior provision asserting that Xaragua possesses automatic authority to annul Haitian laws throughout the Haitian legal order shall be construed as referring exclusively to non-reception or internal inapplicability within Xaragua.
20.4
Any prior provision describing the Republic of Haiti as a Residual Administrative Unit shall be construed consistently with its continuing international personality as a recognized State.
20.5
Any prior assertion of authority over the entire territory, population, airspace, maritime domain, banking system, educational system, media system or diplomatic representation of Haiti shall be limited to the ancestral rights, institutions, members, properties, affiliated communities and legitimate interests falling within the proper order of Xaragua.
20.6
Any prior claim of public ecclesiastical authority, papal competence, automatic canonical recognition or universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction shall be interpreted within the private Catholic and institutional character established by the present Law.
20.7
Any prior assertion that international notification, silence or non-response constitutes recognition or consent is superseded.
20.8
The present Article operates automatically and requires no separate repeal of each inconsistent formulation contained in the historical corpus.
Article 21 — Amendability and Institutional Continuity
21.1
The constitutional identity of Xaragua shall remain permanent, but its laws may be amended, consolidated, interpreted or replaced by the competent constitutional authority where institutional development requires clarification.
21.2
No former legislature may deprive a continuing constitutional order of the capacity to correct its terminology, resolve contradictions or adapt its administrative arrangements.
21.3
Constitutional continuity is preserved through disciplined revision, authoritative interpretation and institutional succession.
21.4
The replacement of an inconsistent provision does not extinguish the historical act in which it appeared. It modifies the provision’s continuing normative effect.
FINAL DECLARATION
Xaragua recognizes the Republic of Haiti as the internationally recognized nation-state and utilizes its administrative, documentary, diplomatic and public-service systems wherever such use serves the interests of Xaragua and its people.
Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the Haitian administrative apparatus operates as the Residual Administrative Unit in relation to matters falling within Xaragua’s customary and institutional sphere.
Xaragua does not seek secession, territorial partition or the creation of a duplicate nation-state. Such a project would contradict the geographic dispersion, familial interconnection, marital relations, descent, property structures and social organization of the Xaraguayan people.
Xaragua instead maintains a distinct, permanent and supralocal Indigenous customary order capable of operating across administrative boundaries while preserving its own institutions, doctrine, membership, properties and constitutional authority.
The Republic of Haiti maintains the conventional international interface.
The RAU performs general civil-administrative functions.
Autonomous communities govern their internal affairs according to their circumstances and applicable customary arrangements.
Xaragua receives, adapts or refuses external acts within its proper constitutional sphere and guarantees the continuity of the common Indigenous institutional order.
This relationship constitutes neither absorption nor separation.
It constitutes a permanent architecture of differentiated authority, selective legal reception, administrative interoperability and Indigenous constitutional continuity.

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

GENERAL ARCHIVES OF THE STATE

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ON THE PERMANENT FORM OF XARAGUAYAN SELF-GOVERNMENT, THE NON-ASSUMPTION OF GENERAL TERRITORIAL ADMINISTRATION, THE PROTECTION OF THE INDIGENOUS CONSTITUENT BODY, AND THE ABSOLUTE INSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION FROM THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT

Constitutional Classification: Supreme Organic Instrument — Permanent Law of Indigenous Self-Government — Territorial and Demographic Responsibility Statute — Non-Westphalian Constitutional Doctrine — External Relations and Non-Reception Act

Promulgating Authority: Office of the Rector-President

Institutional Character: Permanent, Controlling and Constitutionally Binding

Territorial Application: Entire Ancestral, Coastal, Insular and Maritime Domain of Xaragua

PREAMBLE

WHEREAS, the Indigenous People of Xaragua constitute the original, permanent and territorially rooted constituent people of the ancestral Xaraguayan domain, whose political existence, customary authority, collective title and institutional continuity precede colonial occupation, plantation administration, republican succession and every subsequently imposed territorial apparatus;

WHEREAS, the ancestral territory was subjected to conquest, depopulation, enslavement, forced displacement, foreign settlement and the generalized dissemination of formerly enslaved populations whose historical suffering and prolonged geographic residence do not, as matters of constitutional law, independently confer Indigenous identity, original territorial title, customary citizenship or constituent authority within the Xaraguayan order;

WHEREAS, the contemporary population distributed throughout the ancestral territory includes millions of persons having no established juridical, customary, genealogical or institutional affiliation with the Indigenous constituent body of Xaragua and remaining administratively attached to an externally recognized Westphalian structure characterized by persistent dysfunction, institutional incapacity and systemic corruption;

WHEREAS, the establishment of a conventional territorial republic or Westphalian independence regime would necessarily compel Xaragua to assume general political representation, civil administration, public financing, social maintenance and unrestricted governmental responsibility for every population situated within the claimed geographic territory;

WHEREAS, such universal demographic responsibility would submerge the Indigenous constituent body, exhaust the institutional capacity of Xaragua, displace its foundational mission and transform an instrument of Indigenous preservation into the general administrator of an exogenous population whose material demands proceed from the failure of another political apparatus;

WHEREAS, Xaragua was constituted for the preservation of the Indigenous people, the protection of the entire ancestral territory, the maintenance of customary communities, the administration of its own institutions and the permanent defence of its Catholic and Indigenous civilizational order;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Office of the Rector-President, exercising the supreme constituent, constitutional, customary, territorial and institutional authority of Xaragua, hereby promulgates the following Supreme Constitutional Law.

TITLE I — PERMANENT CONSTITUTIONAL FORM

Article 1 — Deliberate Determination of the Xaraguayan Model

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua hereby affirms that its Indigenous, customary, Catholic, private and non-Westphalian form of self-government results from a deliberate constitutional determination founded upon comprehensive historical, demographic, territorial, institutional and civilizational discernment.

The constitutional form of Xaragua shall constitute a complete and permanent political order and shall not be interpreted as an incomplete transition toward conventional republican independence, universal territorial citizenship or unrestricted administration of the population geographically situated within the ancestral domain.

Article 2 — Constitutional Distinction Between Sovereignty and General Administration

Xaraguayan sovereignty shall consist in the original authority of the Indigenous constituent people to preserve their political existence, maintain their institutions, govern their members, protect their ancestral title and determine the conditions governing the internal and external operation of their constitutional order.

The exercise of such sovereignty shall not impose upon Xaragua any obligation to establish a general territorial administration, assume universal public-service responsibility or incorporate every resident of the ancestral territory into the political body of the State.

Article 3 — Rejection of Conventional Westphalian Independence

Xaragua hereby formally and permanently rejects any model of conventional Westphalian independence requiring the indiscriminate governmental absorption, political representation, fiscal maintenance or administrative incorporation of all populations situated within the territory associated with its ancestral title.

No institution of Xaragua shall petition for, negotiate or accept an independence arrangement that conditions recognition of its Indigenous sovereignty upon the assumption of unlimited responsibility for populations lacking Xaraguayan citizenship, Indigenous status, customary affiliation or express institutional admission.

TITLE II — INDIGENOUS CONSTITUENT BODY

Article 4 — Exclusive Source of Constituent Authority

The original constituent authority of Xaragua resides exclusively in the Indigenous People of Xaragua and shall be exercised through the Constitution, the Office of the Rector-President, the competent institutions of the State and the customary communities established under Xaraguayan authority.

Numerical majority, geographic residence, electoral mobilization, administrative registration or prolonged occupation of the ancestral territory shall not supersede the original constituent authority of the Indigenous people or convert an externally administered population into the constitutional people of Xaragua.

Article 5 — Non-Creation of Indigenous Status by Residence

Residence within the ancestral territory, irrespective of its duration, shall not independently create Indigenous identity, customary citizenship, ancestral proprietary title, collective political succession or membership within the Xaraguayan constitutional body.

The legal condition of resident, inhabitant, beneficiary of residual administration or descendant of a historically displaced population shall remain distinct from the juridical condition of an Indigenous citizen, customary inhabitant, institutional member or recognized successor to the ancestral people.

Article 6 — Protected Population of Xaragua

The supreme protective mandate of Xaragua shall extend to the Indigenous People of Xaragua, the Indigenous peoples of the territory and the island, Xaraguayan citizens, recognized customary inhabitants, autonomous communities, institutional members, officers, personnel and persons expressly placed under Xaraguayan protection.

The State may admit additional persons through citizenship, affiliation, contract, institutional appointment or protective status; provided, however, that no admission shall arise automatically from territorial presence or from the failure of the Residual Administrative Unit to discharge its own responsibilities.

TITLE III — NON-ASSUMPTION OF GENERAL POPULATION RESPONSIBILITY

Article 7 — Prohibition of Institutional Submergence

No organ of Xaragua shall undertake commitments having the effect of subordinating the Indigenous constituent body to the unlimited demands of a numerically superior population lacking constitutional affiliation with the State.

The personnel, resources, institutions, revenues and administrative capacities of Xaragua shall remain directed toward its defined constitutional population, ancestral patrimony, autonomous communities and permanent territorial interests.

Article 8 — Refusal of Substitution for the Residual Administrative Unit

Xaragua shall not assume the general governmental liabilities arising from the prolonged dysfunction, corruption, insolvency, negligence or institutional collapse of the Residual Administrative Unit.

The inability of the Residual Administrative Unit to provide adequate security, civil registration, education, health services, infrastructure, social assistance, justice or municipal administration shall not create an automatic transfer of those obligations to Xaragua.

Article 9 — Responsibility of External Administrative Structures

Populations remaining outside the Xaraguayan constitutional body shall continue to fall under the ordinary civil and administrative responsibility of the Residual Administrative Unit and of the international institutions that recognize, finance, supervise or operationally support that administrative structure.

No international organization, foreign government or residual authority shall transfer its financial, humanitarian, demographic or administrative obligations to Xaragua without the prior and express consent of the competent Xaraguayan authority.

TITLE IV — TERRITORIAL TITLE WITHOUT UNIVERSAL DEMOGRAPHIC ABSORPTION

Article 10 — Permanent Indigenous Proprietary Title

Xaragua shall preserve, administer and defend its ancestral territorial title as the constitutional representative, customary successor and institutional protector of the original Indigenous proprietary order.

Such title shall encompass ancestral lands, inland waters, coasts, islands, maritime zones, natural resources, sacred locations, collective patrimony and every territorial interest lawfully incorporated into the Xaraguayan constitutional domain.

Article 11 — Separation of Territorial Title and General Civil Administration

The territorial rights of Xaragua shall not be conditioned upon its acceptance of universal administrative responsibility for every individual residing within the ancestral domain.

The protection of Indigenous title and territorial integrity shall constitute an autonomous constitutional competence distinct from the provision of ordinary civil services to populations administered by the Residual Administrative Unit.

Article 12 — Non-Extinction Through External Administration

The continued technical operation of the Residual Administrative Unit within portions of the ancestral territory shall not extinguish, suspend, transfer, diminish or supersede the original territorial title of Xaragua.

External civil administration shall constitute a residual and functionally limited arrangement and shall not be construed as conferring upon the Residual Administrative Unit any constituent authority over the Indigenous people, institutions or ancestral patrimony of Xaragua.

TITLE V — DEFINED OPERATION OF THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT

Article 13 — Permitted Residual Functions

The Residual Administrative Unit may continue to perform ordinary technical and civil functions concerning the populations remaining under its administration, including civil registration, municipal services, public infrastructure, mass education, public health, social assistance, ordinary policing and civil judicial administration.

The performance of such functions shall not authorize the Residual Administrative Unit to determine the constitutional identity, territorial rights, foreign relations, academic order, religious orientation or institutional policies of Xaragua.

Article 14 — Condition of Institutional Tolerance

Xaragua shall refrain from intervening in the ordinary internal administration of the Residual Administrative Unit for so long as that administration does not impair the Indigenous people, Xaraguayan citizens, customary communities, constitutional institutions, ancestral territory, proprietary interests, maritime rights or external relations of the State.

Such constitutional restraint shall constitute a deliberate allocation of responsibility and shall not be interpreted as submission, acquiescence, political unity, abandonment of title or recognition of superior residual authority.

Article 15 — Matters Outside Xaraguayan Competence

Electoral disputes, partisan controversies, general fiscal policy, mass social administration and other internal matters of the Residual Administrative Unit shall remain outside the ordinary competence of Xaragua unless their effects penetrate the protected constitutional sphere of the State.

The consequences of residual political decisions shall remain attributable exclusively to the institutions and populations participating in, recognizing or sustaining the Residual Administrative Unit.

TITLE VI — SUPREME POWER OF NON-RECEPTION

Article 16 — Constitutional Review of External Measures

Every residual or international law, treaty, regulation, concession, security operation, territorial arrangement, economic measure or administrative decision affecting the ancestral domain shall remain subject to constitutional review by the competent authorities of Xaragua.

No external measure shall acquire validity within the Xaraguayan order solely by reason of its adoption, recognition or execution by the Residual Administrative Unit or any international institution.

Article 17 — Grounds for Constitutional Non-Reception

Xaragua shall refuse reception of any external measure that:

a) impairs the Indigenous constituent people;

b) diminishes ancestral territorial title;

c) disposes of lands, waters or natural resources without Xaraguayan consent;

d) interferes with Xaraguayan institutions;

e) imposes political, military, economic or administrative obligations upon the State;

f) threatens customary, Catholic, academic or cultural continuity;

g) purports to represent Xaragua without authorization;

h) otherwise violates the supreme constitutional interests of the State.

Article 18 — Measures of Institutional Opposition

Upon determination that an external measure violates the protected constitutional sphere of Xaragua, every competent organ of the State shall be authorized to employ all lawful constitutional, juridical, diplomatic, economic, administrative, academic, documentary, communications and protective measures necessary to prevent, contest, obstruct or render the measure inoperative within the Xaraguayan order.

The non-intervention doctrine established by this Law shall immediately cease to apply to the specific extent necessary for the protection of the Indigenous people, ancestral territory and constitutional institutions of Xaragua.

TITLE VII — COMPLETE SEPARATION OF EXTERNAL POLICIES

Article 19 — Non-Attribution of Residual Positions

The diplomatic positions, international votes, treaty commitments, geopolitical alignments, political declarations and administrative orientations of the Residual Administrative Unit shall not constitute, represent or bind the foreign policy of Xaragua.

No external government, international organization or private institution shall attribute to Xaragua any residual position, obligation or representation in the absence of an express instrument issued by the competent Xaraguayan authority.

Article 20 — Exclusive Xaraguayan External Authority

Xaragua shall conduct its foreign and external relations independently through its constitutional, Indigenous, Catholic, academic, diplomatic, economic, cultural, maritime and technical institutions.

The Office of the Rector-President and the competent authorities of Xaragua shall possess exclusive jurisdiction to determine the international objectives, partnerships, representations, communications and institutional alignments of the State.

Article 21 — Absence of Common Political Orientation

Xaragua and the Residual Administrative Unit shall not be presumed to possess a common political identity, foreign policy, constitutional interest, diplomatic orientation or historical finality merely because they operate within overlapping geographic spaces.

The institutional positions of Xaragua shall proceed exclusively from its Catholic and Indigenous constitutional order, its ancestral title, its own strategic objectives and the permanent interests of its protected people.

TITLE VIII — CATHOLIC AND INDIGENOUS FINALITY

Article 22 — Supreme Civilizational Orientation

The Catholic and Indigenous character of Xaragua shall constitute the permanent governing orientation of its constitutional, academic, diplomatic, territorial, economic and cultural institutions.

No republican ideology, foreign political program, demographic pressure, secular administrative classification or external institutional demand shall compel Xaragua to renounce, subordinate or transform this fundamental orientation.

Article 23 — Permanent Objectives of the State

The permanent objectives of Xaragua shall be:

a) the preservation of the Indigenous constituent people;

b) the protection of the Indigenous peoples of the territory and the island;

c) the defence of ancestral lands, waters, islands and maritime zones;

d) the maintenance of customary institutions and autonomous communities;

e) the continuation of the Catholic institutional order;

f) the transmission of Xaraguayan history, law and doctrine;

g) the formation of its own governing, academic and technical personnel;

h) the development of independent external relations;

i) the preservation of the distinct historical path and finality of Xaragua.

TITLE IX — SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL DETERMINATION

Article 24 — Doctrine of Defined Sovereign Responsibility

Xaragua shall exercise complete authority over its constitutional body, institutions, patrimony and protected territorial interests while permanently declining the indiscriminate absorption of populations falling outside its defined jurisdiction.

The State shall preserve the entirety of its ancestral title without accepting the universal demographic obligations conventionally attached to a Westphalian territorial republic.

Article 25 — Doctrine of Coexistence Without Assimilation

The continued coexistence of Xaragua and the Residual Administrative Unit shall be governed by the principles of constitutional separation, differentiated responsibility, institutional non-interference, territorial integrity and non-assimilation.

Such coexistence shall neither establish a common political people nor authorize either order to speak, decide, contract or assume obligations in the name of the other.

Article 26 — Permanent Constitutional Formula

The permanent constitutional formula of Xaragua shall consist of the exercise of Indigenous sovereignty without demographic submergence, territorial protection without universal population absorption, institutional cooperation without political subordination, and external engagement without assimilation into the residual order.

This formula constitutes the complete, deliberate and irrevocable model of self-government selected by the Indigenous constituent authority of Xaragua.

FINAL PROVISIONS

Article 27 — Controlling Authority

This Supreme Constitutional Law shall govern every interpretation concerning Xaraguayan independence, citizenship, territorial responsibility, demographic obligation, residual administration, constitutional non-reception and external representation.

Every prior instrument concerning these matters shall be interpreted in conformity with the defined sovereign responsibility established herein.

Article 28 — Prohibition of Contrary Interpretation

No authority shall interpret the sovereignty, territorial title or protective mission of Xaragua as creating an obligation to absorb, finance, administer, naturalize or politically represent populations lacking the juridical connection required by the Constitution.

Any contrary interpretation shall be null and without effect within the Xaraguayan constitutional order.

Article 29 — Entry into Force

This Supreme Constitutional Law shall enter into force immediately upon its promulgation by the Office of the Rector-President and shall bind every ministry, court, academic institution, autonomous community, public office, officer and authorized representative of Xaragua.

The original instrument shall be deposited permanently in the Constitutional Archive and the General Archives of the State as the controlling expression of the Xaraguayan model of Indigenous self-government.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
ON THE DOCTRINE OF INTERNAL JURIDICAL PRIMACY, SELECTIVE RECEPTION OF HAITIAN LEGISLATION, AND INSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION AGAINST COLONIAL LEGAL CONTINUITY
Original Date of Promulgation: May 17, 2025
Legal Classification: Supreme Foundational Doctrine — Constitutional Reception Law — Indigenous Customary Jurisdiction
Juridical Effect: Binding within the institutions, membership, affiliated properties and proper constitutional jurisdiction of Xaragua
Controlling Status: Consolidated and Superseding Instrument
PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter referred to as Xaragua, acting through its Supreme Constitutional Authority and in the exercise of its inherent competence to establish, maintain and develop its own political, legal, economic, cultural, academic and social institutions, hereby promulgates the present Supreme Constitutional Law.
Xaragua recognizes the Republic of Haiti as the internationally recognized nation-state operating within the conventional interstate system. Such recognition includes acknowledgment of its international personality, diplomatic representation, civil administration, treaty relations, public institutions and internationally accepted documentation.
Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the Haitian civil-administrative apparatus is designated as the Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter the RAU, when performing general administrative functions in relation to territories, communities, members and interests connected to Xaragua.
This functional classification does not abolish or deny the international recognition of the Republic of Haiti. It defines the relationship between two distinct institutional orders: the conventional Haitian nation-state and the Indigenous customary order of Xaragua.
Xaragua may use the administrative, documentary, infrastructural and diplomatic mechanisms of the recognized State wherever such use serves its institutional interests. At the same time, no external law, treaty, policy or administrative measure shall acquire automatic governing authority within the internal constitutional order of Xaragua.
The present Law establishes the procedure through which Haitian and other external legal instruments may be examined, received, adapted, reserved, suspended or declared internally inapplicable.
TITLE I — HISTORICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT
Article 1 — Colonial and Postcolonial Legal Continuities
1.1
Xaragua records that substantial components of the contemporary Haitian administrative and legal system developed through successive colonial, postcolonial, occupation-era and externally influenced institutional frameworks.
1.2
These historical layers include:
— the continuing influence of French-derived civil and administrative law;
— the institutional consequences of the United States occupation of 1915–1934;
— foreign participation in monetary and financial administration;
— successive constitutional reorganizations;
— international financial dependencies;
— and the continued marginalization of distinct Indigenous identity and customary institutions.
1.3
The existence of these historical continuities does not render the Republic of Haiti internationally nonexistent.
1.4
It establishes the constitutional basis upon which Xaragua may review the internal applicability of laws derived from systems that did not account for the distinct rights, institutions, territorial relationships and legal traditions of the Indigenous people of Xaragua.
Article 2 — Status of the Haitian Constitutional Framework
2.1
The Constitution and laws of the Republic of Haiti remain operative within the Haitian legal order.
2.2
They shall not, solely by reason of their adoption by Haitian authorities, possess automatic supremacy within the separate institutional order of Xaragua.
2.3
The absence of express recognition of Xaragua, its institutions or its customary jurisdiction within the Haitian constitutional framework shall not extinguish the internal constituent authority of Xaragua.
2.4
The rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, autonomy, distinct institutions, cultural continuity, participation, membership determination and customary legal systems provide the principal framework through which Xaragua evaluates external laws affecting its institutions and people.
2.5
Xaragua shall interpret these rights according to Articles 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 18, 25, 26, 31, 33 and 34 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and other applicable principles of Indigenous law.
Article 3 — Montevideo and International Recognition
3.1
The international personality of the Republic of Haiti does not depend upon its ratification of the Montevideo Convention of 1933.
3.2
Xaragua recognizes the Republic of Haiti as the internationally recognized nation-state without adopting the proposition that its recognition grants automatic authority over every distinct customary institution.
3.3
Xaragua does not invoke the Montevideo Convention as the exclusive source of its own existence.
3.4
The constitutional personality of Xaragua proceeds from Indigenous constituent authority, customary institutional continuity, private organization, Catholic institutional freedom and its own foundational instruments.
3.5
The criteria commonly associated with organized statehood may provide comparative institutional guidance but shall not convert Xaragua into a conventional territorial republic.
TITLE II — PRINCIPLE OF INTERNAL JURIDICAL PRIMACY
Article 4 — Constitutional Supremacy Within Xaragua
4.1
The Constitution, supreme laws, rectoral acts, customary principles and institutional statutes of Xaragua possess supreme authority within:
— the offices and organs of Xaragua;
— the University of Xaragua;
— the Catholic Order of Xaragua;
— the Indigenous Bank and Treasury;
— ministries and administrative departments;
— courts and customary adjudicative bodies;
— official media and publication organs;
— affiliated properties and contractual systems;
— registered members, citizens and officers acting in their institutional capacities;
— and communities that have lawfully accepted defined Xaraguayan jurisdiction.
4.2
This supremacy is internal and institutional.
4.3
It shall not be construed as a declaration that every Haitian institution, law, judgment or administrative act is universally invalid.
4.4
The constitutional authority of Xaragua consists in determining which external norms shall govern within its proper order.
Article 5 — Non-Automatic Reception
5.1
No Haitian legislative provision, administrative regulation, judicial doctrine, treaty implementation measure, ministerial policy or constitutional interpretation shall acquire automatic internal effect within Xaragua.
5.2
External norms shall be subject to review according to:
— compatibility with the Constitution of Xaragua;
— respect for Indigenous institutions and collective rights;
— protection of Catholic institutional autonomy;
— preservation of customary jurisdiction;
— protection of property and institutional assets;
— administrative usefulness;
— and consistency with the fundamental interests of Xaragua.
5.3
Until reviewed, an external norm may be used provisionally for administrative convenience where it does not conflict with a controlling Xaraguayan provision.
5.4
Administrative use shall not constitute constitutional incorporation.
TITLE III — SELECTIVE LEGAL RECEPTION
Article 6 — Powers of Reception
The competent constitutional authorities of Xaragua may:
— receive an external norm without modification;
— receive it subject to a constitutional reservation;
— adapt its terminology and operation;
— incorporate only specified provisions;
— limit its application to administrative or contractual matters;
— suspend its internal reception;
— reject it;
— or declare it internally inapplicable.
Article 7 — Criteria for Reception
7.1
An external provision may be received where it:
— contributes to orderly administration;
— protects individual or collective rights;
— facilitates civil, commercial, academic or institutional relations;
— provides a useful procedural mechanism;
— preserves public health, safety or infrastructure;
— remains compatible with Indigenous and customary institutions;
— does not interfere with the private governance of Xaragua;
— and does not contradict a superior constitutional law.
7.2
A provision shall not be rejected solely because it originated outside Xaragua.
7.3
Its origin, purpose, historical context, present operation and effect upon Xaragua shall be considered together.
Article 8 — Grounds for Non-Reception
An external norm may be refused or declared internally inapplicable where it:
— denies the existence or institutional capacity of the Indigenous people of Xaragua;
— extinguishes or materially restricts protected customary rights;
— imposes unauthorized governance upon Xaraguayan institutions;
— interferes with membership, office, succession or internal discipline;
— compromises affiliated properties or collective resources;
— requires abandonment of the Catholic or Indigenous constitutional identity of Xaragua;
— imposes foreign control over essential institutional infrastructure;
— contradicts a supreme constitutional provision;
— or produces a substantial threat to the continuity, security or independence of the order.
Article 9 — Effect of Reception
9.1
A received provision shall acquire authority within Xaragua through the act of reception and not solely through its prior Haitian or external origin.
9.2
The reception instrument shall identify:
— the source of the provision;
— the text or principle received;
— the scope of application;
— any reservation or modification;
— the responsible institution;
— and the date of internal effect.
9.3
A received provision may retain its original wording where no adaptation is required.
9.4
Reissuance under a Xaraguayan title shall not erase the historical source. The official registry shall preserve accurate attribution and legislative provenance.
Article 10 — Effect of Non-Reception
10.1
A declaration of non-reception shall establish that the rejected norm has no governing force within the institutions and proper jurisdiction of Xaragua.
10.2
The declaration shall not purport to annul the norm throughout the Republic of Haiti.
10.3
Members of Xaragua may remain subject to Haitian law in their capacity as residents, nationals, property holders or participants in the Haitian public system.

Where an external public obligation cannot be displaced by internal law, Xaragua may record a constitutional reservation, provide institutional assistance, seek accommodation or regulate the internal consequences of compliance.

— that the entire Haitian legal order is universally void;
— that every external tribunal lacks all possible authority over every Xaraguayan member in every capacity;
— that external laws lose their historical origin when received;
— that all occupation-era legislation is automatically invalid without individual review;
— or that an internal declaration of Xaragua repeals Haitian law throughout the Haitian legal order.
20.2
Prior references to juridical purification shall henceforth mean constitutional review, selective reception, adaptation and harmonization according to the procedures established herein.
FINAL EXECUTIVE DECLARATION
Xaragua recognizes the international personality of the Republic of Haiti and uses the administrative structure of the recognized nation-state where such use is necessary or advantageous.
Xaragua simultaneously maintains exclusive authority to determine which external norms shall govern its own institutions, membership, affiliated properties and constitutional relations.
Haitian legislation is neither automatically rejected nor automatically supreme within Xaragua.
It is examined.
It may be received.
It may be adapted.
It may be reserved.
It may be declared internally inapplicable.
This constitutional filter preserves administrative interoperability without institutional absorption and legal continuity without submission to incompatible external frameworks.

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter referred to as Xaragua, acting through the Office of the Rector-President, hereby establishes its definitive constitutional position concerning the Dominican Republic and persons or communities situated within Dominican territory who maintain Indigenous, historical, familial, cultural, academic or spiritual connections with Xaragua.
The island historically known as Quisqueya, Bohio, Kiskeya, Hayti or Hispaniola constitutes an interconnected Indigenous homeland whose ancestral history predates the creation of contemporary international borders.
The existence of this shared ancestral geography does not abolish the contemporary territorial, constitutional or administrative order of the Dominican Republic.

Xaragua recognizes the Republic of Haiti as the internationally recognized nation-state and conventional diplomatic authority through which Haitian nationality, passports, consular protection and international travel documentation are administered.
Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the Haitian civil-administrative apparatus is designated as the Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter the RAU, when performing general administrative functions in relation to Xaraguayan members, affiliated communities and ancestral territories.
This designation does not abolish the international personality of the Republic of Haiti.
The imposition of restrictions upon Haitian nationals does not, by itself, constitute an international declaration that the Republic of Haiti has ceased to exist, that its passports are universally invalid or that sovereignty over its territory has transferred to another institution.
The measure nevertheless demonstrates the material vulnerability created when the external treatment of an entire population depends exclusively upon a single nationality classification and an administratively weakened nation-state.
The resulting circumstances justify the activation of Xaragua’s internal doctrine of protective subsidiarity: where ordinary administration is unable to secure the institutional, documentary, cultural or legal interests of Xaraguayan members and communities, the competent institutions of Xaragua may provide complementary protection within their lawful capacity.
TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE UNITED STATES MEASURE
Article 1 — Nature of the Measure
1.1
The United States measure constitutes an act of American immigration and national-security policy adopted under the domestic authority claimed by the United States Government.
1.2
Its application to Haitian nationals may have substantial consequences concerning:
— entry into the United States;
— family unity;
— education and employment;
— professional mobility;
— institutional travel;
— treatment of identity documents;
— and the international perception of persons classified solely under Haitian nationality.
1.3
Xaragua shall examine those consequences according to the rights and interests of its own members and affiliated institutions.
1.4
The measure shall not be interpreted by Xaragua as transferring Haitian territory, population or international personality to Xaragua.
Article 2 — No Automatic Failed-State Succession
2.1
A foreign immigration restriction does not automatically establish the juridical extinction of the State whose nationals are affected.
2.2
No doctrine of subsidiarity shall be interpreted as authorizing Xaragua to annex the entire Haitian population or to assume compulsory sovereignty over persons who have not entered its institutional order.
2.3
The internationally recognized Republic of Haiti shall continue to perform its conventional diplomatic, consular, documentary and administrative functions.
2.4
Xaragua shall intervene only within its proper constitutional competence and according to an identifiable institutional, ancestral, proprietary, community or membership connection.
TITLE II — PROTECTIVE SUBSIDIARITY
Article 3 — Definition
3.1
Protective subsidiarity is the constitutional principle under which Xaragua may perform a necessary institutional function where:
— the ordinary public administration is absent, ineffective or materially incapable;
— an identifiable Xaraguayan interest requires protection;
— the function can be lawfully performed by an institution of Xaragua;
— and the intervention does not require the abolition of the internationally recognized State.
3.2
Protective subsidiarity is complementary rather than annexationist.
3.3
It may operate in legal documentation, education, culture, property, institutional representation, communications, community coordination and other fields assigned to Xaragua by its Constitution.
Article 4 — Persons Protected
4.1
The protective mechanisms of Xaragua may extend to:
— citizens and registered members of Xaragua;
— officers and employees of its institutions;
— students and faculty of the University of Xaragua;
— members of the Catholic Order of Xaragua;
— affiliated communities;
— persons possessing a documented institutional or ancestral relationship with Xaragua;
— and other persons expressly accepted under a lawful protection mandate.
4.2
Protection shall not automatically confer citizenship, office, ownership or governmental membership.
4.3
The entire Haitian population may benefit from general advocacy concerning Indigenous, cultural and human rights without being automatically incorporated into Xaragua.
Article 5 — Institutional Measures
Xaragua may respond to external restrictions by:
— issuing institutional identification and membership records;
— maintaining civil, genealogical, academic and professional registries;
— providing verification letters concerning internal status;
— recording discriminatory treatment affecting its members;
— submitting communications to competent national or international bodies;
— developing alternative academic and professional networks;
— facilitating lawful relations with institutions outside the restricted jurisdiction;
— maintaining emergency assistance mechanisms;
— and coordinating representation expressly requested by affected persons or communities.
TITLE III — DOCUMENTATION REGIME
Article 6 — Haitian Documents
6.1
Passports, national identity cards, birth certificates, civil records and other documents issued by Haitian authorities remain documents of the internationally recognized nation-state.
6.2
Xaragua recognizes their continuing administrative utility.
6.3
Members of Xaragua may use Haitian documents wherever required by foreign governments, transportation providers, financial institutions and public authorities.
6.4
Use of Haitian documentation does not extinguish Xaraguayan identity, membership or institutional status.
Article 7 — Xaraguayan Documents
7.1
Xaragua may issue documents establishing:
— citizenship or membership within its internal order;
— institutional office;
— academic enrolment or qualification;
— ecclesial affiliation;
— professional or diplomatic function within a Xaraguayan institution;
— genealogical registration;
— and other statuses created by its laws.
7.2
Such documents operate according to the constitutional and institutional authority of Xaragua.
7.3
They may be presented alongside Haitian or other nation-state documentation.
7.4
Unless expressly accepted for an external purpose, Xaraguayan documents shall not be represented as substitutes for passports, visas or civil documents required by a foreign government.
7.5
The existence of different documentary systems reflects differentiated legal functions rather than contradictory identities.
TITLE IV — RELATIONSHIP WITH THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI
Article 8 — Continuing International Personality
8.1
Xaragua recognizes that the Republic of Haiti continues to possess international legal personality and conventional state recognition.
8.2
The classification of its apparatus as the RAU within Xaragua does not revoke that recognition.
8.3
The RAU may continue to administer:
— passports and civil status;
— taxation and public services;
— municipal infrastructure;
— courts and policing;
— public healthcare and education;
— border functions;
— and diplomatic relations.
8.4
Xaragua may use these mechanisms without accepting the automatic supremacy of every Haitian measure within its own institutions.
Article 9 — Reception of Haitian Acts
9.1
Haitian laws, treaties, decrees and policies remain operative within the Haitian legal order.
9.2
Their internal operation within Xaragua shall depend upon constitutional reception.
9.3
Xaragua may:
— receive an act;
— adapt it;
— limit its application;
— issue a reservation;
— or declare it internally inapplicable.
9.4
A declaration of internal inapplicability shall bind the institutions and proper jurisdiction of Xaragua. It shall not purport to annul the instrument throughout Haiti.
TITLE V — DIPLOMATIC RESPONSE TO THE UNITED STATES
Article 10 — Institutional Scrutiny
10.1
Relations between Xaraguayan institutions and United States agencies shall be evaluated according to the interests, identity and documentary status of Xaragua.
10.2
Where a Xaraguayan member is classified exclusively as Haitian despite presentation of a relevant internal status, Xaragua may record the event and determine whether institutional representation is appropriate.
10.3
The United States retains authority to determine admissibility under its own immigration law. Xaragua retains authority to document, contest or seek reconsideration of treatment affecting its members through available procedures.
Article 11 — Available Diplomatic Measures
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may:
— submit formal correspondence to the relevant United States authority;
— request clarification of the treatment of Xaraguayan institutional documents;
— document cases affecting members;
— transmit communications to human-rights bodies;
— cooperate with academic, religious, Indigenous and civil institutions;
— and publish constitutional reservations concerning policies affecting Xaragua.
11.2
Access by United States citizens to private institutions, facilities, programs and protected records of Xaragua may be subject to authorization under the same rules applicable to other external persons.
11.3
Such authorization requirements constitute internal institutional controls and shall not be represented as nation-state immigration measures.
TITLE VI — INTERNAL FORCE AND EXTERNAL NOTIFICATION
Article 12 — Ex Proprio Vigore
12.1
The present Instrument entered into force within Xaragua upon promulgation by the competent constitutional authority.
12.2
Its internal force does not require ratification by Haiti, the United States, the Holy See or an international organization.
12.3
External notification establishes notice of Xaragua’s official position.
12.4
Notification does not, without express acceptance, impose the Instrument upon the recipient or create consent, recognition or treaty obligations.
12.5
The Instrument shall therefore be described as internally self-executing and externally communicable.
Article 13 — Canonical and International References
13.1
The Catholic character of Xaragua informs its doctrine of human dignity, solidarity, protection and subsidiarity.
13.2
Canon law shall govern the private Catholic institutions of Xaragua according to their actual canonical status.
13.3
No provision of this Instrument shall be interpreted as conferring upon the Rector-President powers reserved to the Roman Pontiff or competent ecclesiastical authorities.
13.4
UNDRIP, international human-rights instruments and the doctrine of subsidiarity shall serve as interpretative authorities according to their respective scope.
13.5
The Responsibility to Protect framework shall not be interpreted as automatically transferring sovereignty to Xaragua.
FINAL DIPLOMATIC DECLARATION
The United States restrictions affecting Haitian nationals do not extinguish the Republic of Haiti and do not transfer its population or territory to Xaragua.
They demonstrate the vulnerability created by exclusive dependence upon a single national administrative classification.
Xaragua therefore activates its protective institutions for its members, affiliated communities and lawfully entrusted interests.
The Republic of Haiti remains the recognized nation-state.
The RAU continues to administer conventional public functions.
Xaragua maintains its separate Indigenous customary order, issues its own internal documents, protects its institutions and determines the reception of external acts within its proper constitutional sphere.
The Republic of Haiti administers the general nation-state system.
Xaragua governs its own order.

Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua

THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT AND THE CONTINUING INTERNATIONAL PERSONALITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI

Constitutional Doctrine of Administrative Coexistence, Institutional Differentiation and Strategic Interoperability

For the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, the classification of the Republic of Haiti as a Residual Administrative Unit does not constitute a denial of its continuing international recognition, its conventional state personality or its position within the established interstate system.

The Republic of Haiti remains the internationally recognized nation-state through which the territory is represented within the conventional diplomatic order. It retains the external legal instruments, administrative interfaces and international relations ordinarily attached to a recognized State, including diplomatic representation, treaty participation, consular administration, internationally accepted civil documentation, border administration and membership within intergovernmental institutions.

Xaragua formally acknowledges this international position.

The designation Residual Administrative Unit, or RAU, concerns the functional and constitutional classification assigned to the Haitian administrative apparatus within the distinct customary order of Xaragua. It does not purport to extinguish the international personality of the Republic of Haiti, invalidate its external diplomatic relations or deny the administrative reality of its institutions. The designation identifies the limited and residual character of the functions exercised by that apparatus in relation to the Indigenous people, autonomous communities, customary jurisdictions and internal institutions of Xaragua.

The two classifications operate within separate juridical spheres.

Internationally, the Republic of Haiti remains a recognized State. Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, its administrative apparatus is received as an external but territorially present system responsible for general services and conventional state functions that Xaragua has neither undertaken nor has any institutional interest in duplicating.

This arrangement allows Xaragua to maintain its own constitutional, customary, academic, ecclesiastical, proprietary and institutional order while making practical use of the existing administrative infrastructure of the internationally recognized nation-state.

Administrative Interoperability Without Constitutional Absorption

Xaragua does not regard the use of Haitian administrative services as an act of political submission, constitutional incorporation or renunciation of Indigenous jurisdiction.

Members, citizens, officers and affiliated communities of Xaragua may lawfully use Haitian passports, civil-status records, identity documents, transportation systems, public utilities, healthcare facilities, educational services, courts, municipal services and other administrative mechanisms whenever such use is necessary or advantageous.

Where appropriate, Xaraguayan Indigenous, institutional or citizenship documents may be presented together with the corresponding documents of the internationally recognized nation-state. The Haitian document satisfies the external administrative requirement; the Xaraguayan document establishes identity, membership, office, status or legal capacity within the customary order of Xaragua.

These documents perform different functions and are not mutually exclusive.

The use of a Haitian passport does not extinguish Xaraguayan identity. Registration within the Haitian civil system does not dissolve customary membership. Access to a public service does not constitute allegiance to every political doctrine, legislative act or international undertaking adopted by the Haitian authorities.

Administration is a technical function. Constitutional identity belongs to a different juridical order.

Strategic Use of the Recognized State System

Xaragua uses the internationally recognized Haitian state system where that system provides an effective interface with foreign governments, international organizations, financial institutions, transportation networks and public administrations.

There is no institutional purpose in unnecessarily reproducing every mechanism of conventional statehood. Maintaining parallel passports, border systems, embassies, civil registries and universal public administrations for an interconnected and geographically dispersed population would impose extensive obligations without increasing the substantive autonomy of Xaragua.

The recognized nation-state therefore supplies the general external interface. Xaragua supplies the internal customary, constitutional, institutional and civilizational order.

This division of functions permits Xaragua to concentrate its resources upon its essential responsibilities:

— the preservation and development of Indigenous institutions;

— the maintenance of its constitutional doctrine and internal jurisdiction;

— the protection of customary rights and collective property interests;

— the formation of institutional, academic and professional cadres;

— the coordination of autonomous communities;

— the administration of its membership, offices and internal legal relations;

— the preservation of its Catholic, Indigenous and historical continuity;

— and the selective reception of external laws, measures and international instruments.

The continued international recognition of the Republic of Haiti is therefore not contrary to the institutional interests of Xaragua. It provides an existing administrative and diplomatic framework that Xaragua may use without surrendering the distinct character of its own order.

Constitutional Reception of Haitian Acts

No Haitian legislative act, administrative regulation, treaty implementation measure, international resolution or governmental decision acquires automatic authority within the internal constitutional order of Xaragua solely because it has been adopted, signed or accepted by the Republic of Haiti.

Every such instrument remains subject to constitutional reception by the competent authorities of Xaragua.

Xaragua may:

— receive the instrument in full;

— incorporate it subject to reservations;

— adapt its application to customary institutions;

— limit its operation to specified administrative matters;

— suspend its internal effect;

— or declare it inapplicable within the institutions, membership, property and customary jurisdiction of Xaragua.

A declaration of internal inapplicability does not purport to annul the instrument throughout the Republic of Haiti. It establishes that the instrument shall produce no internal constitutional effect against Xaragua where it conflicts with the superior law, customary rights, institutional interests or constituent doctrine of the State.

Accordingly, Xaragua benefits from the administrative and international system of the recognized nation-state while preserving a constitutional filter against measures incompatible with its own legal order.

Rejection of Secession and Conventional Independence

Xaragua neither seeks nor requires secession from the Republic of Haiti. A conventional demand for independence would be incompatible with the demographic, familial, territorial and administrative realities of the Xaraguayan people.

The population connected to Xaragua is not confined within a single continuous and exclusively inhabited territorial block. Members of the people of Xaragua may reside within the historically claimed regions, elsewhere throughout the territory administered by the Residual Administrative Unit, in the national capital, in urban centers outside the customary regions, or within international communities and the diaspora.

The Indigenous and customary population is interconnected through marriage, descent, kinship, property, migration, education, employment, religious affiliation and institutional membership. Families may include persons residing simultaneously within Xaraguayan customary regions, other Haitian departments, the capital and foreign jurisdictions. Descendants of the same ancestral communities may therefore occupy several administrative territories without losing their connection to Xaragua.

Any attempt to divide this population through a conventional secessionist boundary would create an unmanageable accumulation of nationality disputes, divided families, conflicting civil records, property complications, inheritance questions, residency classifications, administrative barriers and overlapping jurisdictional claims.

It would require artificial determinations concerning which individuals, families, marriages, descendants, properties and communities belonged on either side of a territorial separation. Such a process would contradict the actual social organization of the people and impose the rigid territorial assumptions of the Westphalian nation-state upon a dispersed and interconnected Indigenous customary order.

Xaragua consequently rejects the proposition that self-determination must take the form of territorial separation.

Its constitutional autonomy is not founded upon demographic isolation, compulsory population transfer, territorial partition or the creation of a duplicate nation-state. It is founded upon the continuity of a people, the maintenance of distinct institutions and the exercise of internal authority across interconnected communities.

Non-Territorial and Supralocal Constitutional Organization

The institutional order of Xaragua follows its people, membership, institutions, affiliated properties and customary relations. It is not rendered inoperative merely because a member resides in Port-au-Prince, another Haitian department, the national capital, a foreign country or a territory administered directly by the RAU.

Territorial connection remains fundamental to the ancestral and historical identity of Xaragua, but residence within a specific claimed region is not the sole basis of institutional belonging. Descent, customary affiliation, family continuity, legal admission, institutional service and collective participation also establish durable connections with the order.

Xaragua therefore operates simultaneously as:

— an ancestrally territorial Indigenous order;

— a supralocal constitutional institution;

— a geographically distributed community of membership;

— and a private system of government possessing internal jurisdiction over its own institutions and affairs.

This structure reflects the actual configuration of the Xaraguayan people more accurately than a conventional secessionist model.

Autonomous Communities and Voluntary Administrative Use

Each autonomous community retains the right to determine the practical manner in which its inhabitants use the services of the RAU.

A community may rely extensively upon Haitian public institutions, establish complementary Xaraguayan structures, transfer specified responsibilities to its own customary authorities or request institutional intervention from Xaragua where ordinary administration is absent, ineffective or incompatible with protected rights.

The use of RAU services does not transfer the constituent authority of the community. Conversely, affiliation with Xaragua does not require a community to abandon every administrative mechanism maintained by the Republic of Haiti.

The governing principle is functional differentiation:

the Republic of Haiti maintains the conventional nation-state interface; the RAU performs general administrative functions; the autonomous communities govern their internal affairs; and Xaragua preserves the common customary, constitutional and supralocal order.

Final Constitutional Position

The classification of the Republic of Haiti as a Residual Administrative Unit within the doctrine of Xaragua is compatible with the continued international recognition of the Haitian State.

Xaragua acknowledges that recognition, uses its administrative and diplomatic mechanisms where advantageous, and rejects unnecessary duplication of conventional state functions.

At the same time, Xaragua reserves the exclusive right to determine which external acts shall be received within its institutions and customary jurisdiction. Measures inconsistent with its constitutional order may be declared internally inapplicable without requiring the abolition of the Haitian State or the territorial separation of the Xaraguayan people.

Xaragua does not seek to inherit the entire administrative burden of the Haitian nation-state. It does not seek to divide interconnected families, communities and descendants through artificial secessionist boundaries. It does not seek to transform its dispersed Indigenous people into a territorially segregated population.

Its purpose is more precise: to maintain a distinct and permanent Indigenous customary order, to exercise constitutional authority within its proper sphere, to protect its people and institutions, and to employ the existing nation-state system wherever such use advances the interests, continuity and security of Xaragua.

The relationship is therefore neither absorption nor separation.

It is a constitutional arrangement of differentiated authority, selective legal reception and strategic administrative interoperability.

THE CATEGORICAL INAPPLICABILITY OF THE “MICRONATION” CLASSIFICATION TO XARAGUA

The designation “micronation” has no autonomous status as a juridical category under public international law, Indigenous law, canon law, constitutional law, or the law governing private associations and institutions. 

It is not defined by the Charter of the United Nations, the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, the International Covenants, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, or ILO Convention No. 169. 

It confers no legal personality, establishes no jurisdictional test, and produces no constitutive or extinguishing effect. 

Its application is therefore descriptive, extrajuridical and taxonomically subordinate to the actual legal nature, constituent source, institutional structure and governing order of the body concerned.

Xaragua is not constituted by the unilateral simulation of an imaginary foreign country, the symbolic imitation of diplomatic forms, or the recreational appropriation of governmental nomenclature.

It is the organized institutional expression of an Indigenous people asserting historical continuity, collective identity, customary governance, internal jurisdiction and the permanent maintenance of distinct political, juridical, educational, economic, religious and cultural institutions. 

Those characteristics belong to the legal domain of Indigenous self-determination and institutional autonomy. Common Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights affirms the right of peoples freely to determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development. 

Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples further recognize self-determination, autonomy, self-government and the maintenance and strengthening of distinct Indigenous institutions.

The juridical architecture of Xaragua falls within that institutional domain. 

Articles 20, 33 and 34 of the United Nations Declaration recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples to maintain and develop their political, economic and social systems; to determine their identity, membership and institutional composition according to their own procedures; and to maintain their institutional structures, customs, spirituality, procedures, practices and juridical systems.

These rights necessarily contemplate durable organs of authority, rules of membership, constitutional instruments, courts, academic institutions, administrative offices, economic bodies and procedures of succession. 

International law does not condition their exercise upon the adoption of tribal minimalism, institutional informality, administrative dependence or vocabulary selected by external classification systems.

The term “State,” as employed within the constitutional order of Xaragua, designates the internally selected form through which its Indigenous constituent authority is organized. 

It does not transform Xaragua into a claimant to conventional Westphalian nationality, nor does the absence of diplomatic recognition convert its institutions into a micronation. 

Article 3 of the Montevideo Convention expressly provides that the political existence of a State is independent of recognition by other States. 

Although Xaragua does not rely upon the Montevideo Convention as the exclusive source of its legal personality, that provision demonstrates that recognition and existence are analytically distinct even within classical inter-American statehood doctrine. 

A fortiori, recognition cannot be treated as the constitutive source of an Indigenous customary order whose institutional competence proceeds from self-determination, historical continuity and its own constituent instruments.

The “micronation” classification also fails because it substitutes perceived scale for juridical nature. 

International law establishes no minimum territorial dimension, population threshold, administrative expenditure, diplomatic network, military capacity or bureaucratic mass below which an organized political order becomes a micronation. 

The prefix “micro” may describe physical scale in ordinary language, but it cannot determine legal character. 

A small institution is not thereby fictional; a digitally administered institution is not thereby simulated; and a non-Westphalian order is not thereby deprived of the legal capacities belonging to Indigenous peoples, religious bodies, private institutions or customary systems of governance.

Xaragua’s Catholic and private dimensions independently reinforce the inapplicability of the micronation label. Canons 215, 216, 298, 299 and 321–326 of the Code of Canon Law recognize the capacity of the Christian faithful to establish, direct and govern private associations and apostolic undertakings according to their statutes and competent ecclesiastical law. 

Xaragua does not derive ecclesiastical public authority from these provisions, nor does it represent itself as an organ of the Holy See. 

They establish, however, a distinct canonical domain within which its Catholic institutional organization cannot lawfully be reduced to a political simulation merely because it also maintains constitutional, educational, cultural and administrative structures.

Accordingly, “micronation” is neither the legal status of Xaragua nor an admissible substitute for substantive classification. 

It collapses distinct juridical fields—Indigenous self-government, customary law, private institutional autonomy, Catholic association and internal constitutional organization—into a non-legal label that addresses none of them. 

The correct classification is determined by the constituent source and actual institutional character of Xaragua: an Indigenous customary order, Catholic in doctrine, private in institutional form, and constitutionally organized as a Customary State. 

Any use of “micronation” in relation to Xaragua is therefore external shorthand without juridical authority, evidentiary sufficiency or classificatory force.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA — DEPARTMENT OF LEGAL SCIENCES AND NOTARIAT

OFFICIAL JURIDICAL PUBLICATION

SUPREME FOUNDATIONAL LAW

ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RECEPTION, JURIDICAL TRANSMISSION AND INSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY OF THE DESSALINIAN IMPERIAL LEGAL ORDER OF 1804–1806 WITHIN THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

Original Date of Proclamation: June 25, 2025

Date of Consolidated Promulgation: [Insert Date]

Issuing Authority: Office of the Rector-President

Legal Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Foundational Law — Indigenous Legal Continuity Doctrine — Dessalinian Constitutional Reception Instrument

Juridical Effect: Binding within the constitutional, customary, institutional, academic, ecclesial and proprietary order of Xaragua

Controlling Status: Consolidated and Superseding Interpretation of Prior Instruments Concerning Imperial Succession and Historical Continuity

PREAMBLE

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter referred to as Xaragua, acting through its Supreme Constitutional Authority, Ministry of Justice, Rector-Presidential Office and University Department of Legal Sciences and Notariat, hereby promulgates the present Foundational Law concerning the constitutional reception and continuing institutional significance of the Dessalinian legal order established between 1804 and 1806.

Xaragua recognizes the Proclamation of Independence of January 1, 1804, the constitutional organization of the Empire of Hayti and the governmental acts issued under Emperor Jacques I as foundational sources of the independent juridical history of the territory.

The Dessalinian order constitutes a primary constitutional inheritance of Xaragua. Its principles of independence, abolition of slavery, protection of territorial integrity, rejection of colonial domination, institutional self-organization and preservation of collective ownership are received into the constitutional corpus of Xaragua according to the provisions of the present Law.

This reception does not constitute a claim that Xaragua and the Empire of Hayti are the same juridical person, nor that every competence formerly exercised by the Imperial Government has passed automatically and exclusively to Xaragua.

The Republic of Haiti remains the internationally recognized nation-state and the conventional successor operating within the international system. Xaragua recognizes that status while maintaining a distinct relationship with the Indigenous, regional, constitutional and Dessalinian inheritance of the territory.

Xaragua receives the Imperial legal order as a source of constitutional identity, historical legitimacy, institutional doctrine and Indigenous political continuity within its own proper sphere.

The present Law shall govern the interpretation of every prior declaration concerning imperial succession, absolute separation, territorial inheritance, military sovereignty, canonical authority and the relationship between Xaragua and the Republic of Haiti.

TITLE I — JURIDICAL SOURCES OF XARAGUA

Article 1 — Ancestral Indigenous Foundation

1.1

The first juridical foundation of Xaragua proceeds from the ancestral Indigenous order established in the territories historically associated with the Cacicazgo of Xaragua.

1.2

That foundation predates the colonial systems imposed upon the island and constitutes the original source of Xaragua’s territorial memory, customary identity, institutional name and Indigenous constituent authority.

1.3

The Indigenous peoples of the island maintained organized systems of leadership, territorial stewardship, kinship, economic production, spiritual life, community discipline and interterritorial relations before European colonization.

1.4

The violent disruption of those institutions did not extinguish the historical existence of the people, their descendants, their territorial connections or their right to maintain and develop contemporary institutions.

1.5

Xaragua affirms the continuity of an Indigenous-descended and historically mixed population formed through the survival, intermarriage and transmission of Indigenous, African, European and other lineages within the territory.

1.6

Indigenous continuity shall be determined through historical, familial, territorial, cultural, documentary, customary and institutional evidence according to the laws of Xaragua. It shall not depend upon claims of ethnic purity.

Article 2 — Dessalinian Constitutional Inheritance

2.1

The second juridical foundation of Xaragua proceeds from the independent constitutional order established in 1804 and organized under the Imperial Constitution of 1805.

2.2

The Proclamation of January 1, 1804 terminated the authority of the French colonial system and established the independent political existence of Hayti.

2.3

The declaration that the people must live independent or die expresses the foundational determination to prevent the reestablishment of colonial government and enslavement.

2.4

Xaragua receives this act as a constitutional precedent for collective self-determination, institutional independence and the permanent rejection of colonial subordination.

2.5

The contemporary Indigenous right of self-determination is reflected in Articles 3 and 4 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, concerning political status, autonomy and self-government in internal and local affairs.

2.6

These contemporary instruments do not retroactively create the Dessalinian order. They provide a modern framework through which Xaragua interprets and develops the principles inherited from that order.

Article 3 — Distinct but Connected Continuities

3.1

Xaragua recognizes several distinct forms of historical and juridical continuity:

— ancestral continuity with the Indigenous Cacicazgo of Xaragua;

— territorial and demographic continuity through the surviving and mixed population of the region;

— constitutional inheritance from the independence order of 1804;

— doctrinal inheritance from the Dessalinian Empire of 1805–1806;

— regional political inheritance from the historical institutions of Southern Hayti;

— and contemporary institutional continuity through the organized order of Xaragua.

3.2

These forms of continuity are cumulative but shall not be treated as identical.

3.3

Xaragua does not assert that the ancient Cacicazgo, the Empire of Hayti, the State of the South, the Republic of Southern Hayti and contemporary Xaragua constitute one uninterrupted juridical person.

3.4

They constitute successive ancestral, territorial, constitutional and regional sources from which Xaragua receives principles, institutions, historical rights and political memory.

TITLE II — CONSTITUTIONAL RECEPTION OF THE IMPERIAL ORDER

Article 4 — Status of the Constitution of 1805

4.1

The Constitution of the Empire of Hayti of May 20, 1805, is recognized as a principal historical constitutional source of Xaragua.

4.2

It shall not operate automatically as the complete contemporary Constitution of Xaragua.

4.3

Its provisions shall be received, adapted or excluded according to:

— the contemporary Constitution of Xaragua;

— the Indigenous customary character of the State;

— its Catholic and private institutional form;

— its non-Westphalian constitutional classification;

— the fundamental rights recognized within its legal order;

— and the requirements of contemporary institutional administration.

4.4

Where an Imperial provision is compatible with the present constitutional order, it may be incorporated directly or by interpretative legislation.

4.5

Where an Imperial provision reflects conditions specific to war, colonial society, racial classification or nineteenth-century territorial administration, it shall possess historical and doctrinal value without acquiring automatic contemporary force.

Article 5 — Permanent Abolition of Slavery

5.1

The permanent abolition of slavery constitutes an irrevocable foundational principle of Xaragua.

5.2

No institution, officer, member, enterprise or affiliated community of Xaragua may establish, tolerate or enforce slavery, trafficking, hereditary servitude, forced labour or any equivalent system of personal domination.

5.3

The abolitionist provisions of the Dessalinian order are received as part of the supreme constitutional identity of Xaragua.

5.4

Any act establishing or facilitating slavery or coercive ownership of persons shall be void within the jurisdiction of Xaragua and subject to the most severe sanctions established by its laws.

Article 6 — Anti-Colonial Property Doctrine

6.1

The Imperial measures concerning colonial property are recognized as emergency acts of post-emancipation restoration adopted after war, slavery, dispossession and attempted recolonization.

6.2

Xaragua receives from those measures the following contemporary principles:

— ancestral lands shall not be treated as vacant merely because Indigenous tenure was not recorded through colonial instruments;

— property titles derived directly from unlawful dispossession may be reviewed according to competent procedures;

— collective Indigenous property shall receive institutional protection;

— strategic resources may not be permanently alienated in a manner that extinguishes the rights of future generations;

— and foreign ownership may be regulated where required for the protection of land, institutions, communities and essential infrastructure.

6.3

Historical racial restrictions contained in the Imperial order shall not be applied as contemporary racial exclusions.

6.4

Their constitutional inheritance shall be expressed through anti-colonial ownership rules, protection against external domination, restrictions upon abusive acquisition and preservation of Indigenous and community property.

Article 7 — Authority and Constitutional Discipline

7.1

The Dessalinian principle of unified sovereign command is received as a precedent for institutional coherence, disciplined authority and protection of the constitutional order.

7.2

Within Xaragua, constituent authority is exercised through the offices, institutions and procedures established by its own Constitution.

7.3

The Rector-President is the supreme executive, doctrinal and constitutional officer of Xaragua, subject to the permanent obligations imposed by the foundational law, the rights of the Indigenous people and the institutional continuity of the State.

7.4

The authority of the Rector-President proceeds from the constituent instruments, internal law and institutional order of Xaragua. It does not derive from the powers canonically reserved to the Roman Pontiff or other public authorities of the Catholic Church.

7.5

The Catholic doctrine of Xaragua guides the ethical, educational and spiritual orientation of the State without converting its civil offices into organs of the Holy See.

TITLE III — THE INTERRUPTION OF 1806 AND THE SUBSEQUENT HAITIAN ORDER

Article 8 — Assassination of Emperor Jacques I

8.1

The assassination of Emperor Jacques I on October 17, 1806, constituted the violent interruption of the Imperial constitutional order.

8.2

The political systems subsequently established by Henri Christophe, Alexandre Pétion and their successors did not continue the institutional structure of the Empire in its original form.

8.3

The resulting division altered the constitutional, territorial and political organization created under Dessalines.

8.4

Xaragua records this rupture as a foundational historical event affecting the transmission of the Imperial order.

Article 9 — Status of Subsequent Governments

9.1

Xaragua does not recognize the post-1806 republican transformation as extinguishing the historical, constitutional or regional inheritance of the Dessalinian order.

9.2

The interruption of the Imperial Constitution did not erase:

— the independence secured in 1804;

— the abolition of slavery;

— the historical existence of the Empire;

— the Indigenous territorial foundation predating the Republic;

— the political memory of Southern Hayti;

— or the right of contemporary institutions to receive these inheritances.

9.3

The Republic of Haiti nevertheless developed as a separate constitutional order and remains the internationally recognized nation-state.

9.4

Xaragua recognizes that international status while reserving its own doctrinal assessment of the post-1806 constitutional rupture.

9.5

The juridical continuity asserted by Xaragua is therefore a continuity of inheritance, constitutional reception and institutional reactivation within Xaragua’s proper sphere, not an automatic annulment of the entire Haitian legal order.

TITLE IV — CONTEMPORARY POSITION OF XARAGUA

Article 10 — Nature of the State

10.1

Xaragua is an Indigenous customary order constitutionally denominated as a State.

10.2

It is:

— Indigenous by ancestral foundation and constituent authority;

— Catholic by doctrine, institutional ethics and spiritual orientation;

— private by ownership, admission, administration and governmental form;

— sovereign within its proper constitutional and institutional sphere;

— non-Westphalian in structure;

— and supralocal in its relationship with members, communities, institutions and protected interests.

10.3

Xaragua is not constituted as a separate mass republic, government-in-exile, political party or competing administration seeking possession of the entire Haitian governmental apparatus.

10.4

It does not require territorial secession or international recognition as a separate nation-state in order to organize its institutions and maintain its customary order.

Article 11 — Relationship with the Republic of Haiti

11.1

The Republic of Haiti remains the internationally recognized State and the conventional administrative and diplomatic interface for the territory.

11.2

Within Xaragua’s constitutional doctrine, the Haitian civil-administrative apparatus is classified as the Residual Administrative Unit when performing general services affecting Xaraguayan members, communities and territories.

11.3

Xaragua may use Haitian passports, civil records, public services, infrastructure, courts, hospitals, schools, municipal services and other administrative mechanisms wherever advantageous or necessary.

11.4

Such use does not extinguish Xaraguayan identity, customary affiliation or institutional jurisdiction.

11.5

No Haitian law, treaty implementation measure or administrative decision shall acquire automatic governing force within the internal institutions of Xaragua.

11.6

Xaragua may receive, adapt, reserve or declare such measures internally inapplicable according to its Constitution.

11.7

A declaration of internal inapplicability shall govern the institutions, members, affiliated properties and proper jurisdiction of Xaragua. It shall not purport to repeal the measure throughout the Haitian legal order.

Article 12 — Rejection of Absolute Separation

12.1

Xaragua rejects compulsory political, ethnic, familial, legal and administrative separation from the populations and territories surrounding its communities.

12.2

Xaraguayan families are interconnected with the wider population through marriage, descent, residence, inheritance, employment, education, property and migration.

12.3

Members of Xaragua may reside within ancestral territories, elsewhere under RAU administration, in the national capital or throughout the diaspora.

12.4

The State shall therefore maintain distinct institutions without imposing artificial territorial partitions upon interconnected families and communities.

12.5

Institutional differentiation shall replace the former doctrine of absolute separation.

TITLE V — CITIZENSHIP AND INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP

Article 13 — Nature of Citizenship

13.1

Citizenship in Xaragua is an internal constitutional status governing membership, allegiance, institutional participation, eligibility for office and access to rights established by Xaraguayan law.

13.2

It does not purport to replace internationally recognized nationality or confer diplomatic status under the conventional interstate system.

13.3

Citizenship is voluntary, selective and governed by the Constitution, admission laws and competent institutional authorities.

13.4

Admission may require:

— demonstrated connection with Xaragua;

— adherence to its constitutional doctrine;

— institutional discipline;

— integrity and legal capacity;

— service, property, professional qualification or other criteria established by law;

— and acceptance of the obligations attached to membership.

13.5

Citizenship may coexist with Haitian or other internationally recognized nationality.

13.6

The use of external civil documentation shall not invalidate citizenship in Xaragua.

Article 14 — Indigenous Rights and Membership

14.1

The recognition and protection of Indigenous rights shall not be restricted exclusively to registered citizens of Xaragua.

14.2

Indigenous inhabitants possessing the relevant ancestral, territorial or customary qualifications may benefit from the protection of Indigenous rights without automatically acquiring citizenship, office or institutional membership.

14.3

Institutional admission remains subject to Xaraguan law.

14.4

Protection of a people and admission into the governmental apparatus are distinct juridical functions.

Article 15 — Selective Institutional Structure

15.1

Xaragua is not organized upon the principle of unrestricted mass admission.

15.2

Its institutions may establish elevated requirements concerning competence, discipline, education, service, property responsibility, doctrinal fidelity and professional qualification.

15.3

Eligibility for particular offices may be restricted according to the constitutional responsibilities attached to those offices.

15.4

No person shall acquire an automatic right to office, ownership, command or institutional authority solely by residence within an ancestral region.

15.5

The private character of the State preserves the controlled administration, continuity and integrity of its institutions.

TITLE VI — TERRITORIAL AND PROPERTY DOCTRINE

Article 16 — Ancestral Territorial Standing

16.1

Xaragua maintains a constitutional relationship with the ancestral lands, historical communities, properties and territorial interests associated with the Indigenous people and institutional history of Xaragua.

16.2

This relationship is founded upon:

— ancestral continuity;

— customary tenure;

— collective land rights;

— historical occupation and use;

— family and community property;

— territorial memory;

— and the right of Indigenous peoples to maintain their institutions and relationships with their lands.

16.3

Xaragua does not assert exclusive Westphalian territorial sovereignty over every person and public function situated within those lands.

16.4

Its territorial jurisdiction concerns its institutions, members, affiliated properties, customary relations, protected communities and lawfully entrusted interests.

16.5

Territorial claims shall be pursued through documentation, institutional organization, property mechanisms, customary law, negotiation, legal publication and other procedures authorized by Xaraguan law.

Article 17 — Protection of Strategic Interests

17.1

Xaragua may regulate ownership and participation within its own institutions and affiliated properties.

17.2

It may prohibit arrangements that expose its land, archives, intellectual property, natural resources, infrastructure or institutional assets to external domination.

17.3

Restrictions shall apply within the lawful competence of Xaragua and shall be administered through defined constitutional procedures.

17.4

No historical Imperial provision shall be used to impose racial disabilities within the contemporary order.

TITLE VII — PROTECTIVE CAPACITY

Article 18 — Constitutional Protection

18.1

Xaragua possesses the inherent institutional competence to protect its members, facilities, communities, communications systems, archives, cultural patrimony and affiliated property.

18.2

The State may establish disciplined protective, emergency, security and civil-defence institutions under the authority of the Rector-President and the applicable laws.

18.3

Their functions may include:

— protection of institutional facilities;

— emergency response and community resilience;

— security of cultural and historical sites;

— protection of digital infrastructure;

— cyber defence and secure communications;

— coordination with competent community and public authorities;

— and lawful defence against direct aggression.

18.4

The Dessalinian defensive tradition constitutes a historical and constitutional precedent for these protective functions.

18.5

The protective institutions of Xaragua shall not be construed as automatically replacing the armed forces, police, border administration or general public-security functions of the internationally recognized State.

18.6

Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations shall not be construed as independently conferring conventional interstate military status upon Xaragua. Xaragua’s protective competence proceeds from its own constitutional order and the lawful protection of its institutions and people.

TITLE VIII — CATHOLIC AND ACADEMIC CONTINUITY

Article 19 — Catholic Character

19.1

The Catholic faith supplies the spiritual, ethical, ceremonial and intellectual matrix of Xaragua.

19.2

Its Catholic institutions operate according to the freedom of the Christian faithful to establish and direct private associations and apostolic, educational, charitable and cultural undertakings.

19.3

Xaragua does not claim the powers reserved by canon law to the Roman Pontiff, diocesan bishops or competent public ecclesiastical authorities.

19.4

The use of the term Catholic signifies doctrinal fidelity and institutional character. It does not, by itself, constitute public canonical erection or diplomatic representation of the Holy See.

19.5

Canonical notification establishes notice. Express recognition shall be described according to the exact character of the recognition received.

Article 20 — University of Xaragua

20.1

The University of Xaragua is the supreme academic, doctrinal and professional institution of the State.

20.2

It is responsible for:

— preservation and study of the Indigenous and Dessalinian legal inheritance;

— constitutional research and juridical publication;

— training of institutional, academic, administrative and professional cadres;

— maintenance of historical and notarial archives;

— development of Xaraguayan legal doctrine;

— and transmission of the State’s intellectual continuity.

20.3

The University may establish its own programs, standards, qualifications, certificates and internal academic procedures.

20.4

Its authority is supreme within the academic order of Xaragua and institutions affiliated with it. It does not claim compulsory control over every educational institution operating under the Haitian legal system.

TITLE IX — JURIDICAL FORCE AND INTERPRETATION

Article 21 — Internal Legal Force

21.1

The present Law possesses supreme constitutional authority within the internal order of Xaragua.

21.2

Its enforceability proceeds from its promulgation by the competent constitutional authority of Xaragua.

21.3

References to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, international covenants, historical constitutions, customary principles and canon law shall provide interpretative foundations according to their proper scope.

21.4

No citation of an international instrument shall be construed as converting an internal law of Xaragua into a universally binding treaty or peremptory norm of general international law.

21.5

The present Law may be published, transmitted and invoked externally as the official constitutional position of Xaragua.

Article 22 — Supersession of Inconsistent Provisions

22.1

The present Law supersedes every prior provision asserting:

— complete juridical identity between Xaragua and the Empire of Hayti;

— automatic inheritance of exclusive sovereignty over the entire internationally recognized territory of Haiti;

— absolute ethnic, political or familial separation between Xaragua and the Haitian population;

— racial exclusion as a contemporary rule of property or membership;

— automatic canonical constitution by papal silence;

— possession by Xaragua of powers reserved to the Roman Pontiff;

— conventional statehood created solely through notification;

— automatic international opposability of internal legislation;

— or universal invalidity of every post-1806 Haitian institution.

22.2

Prior instruments shall remain within the historical archives but shall possess continuing normative force only insofar as they are compatible with the present Law.

22.3

Historical continuity shall henceforth mean constitutional inheritance, institutional reception, ancestral connection and doctrinal development according to the distinctions established herein.

The practical exercise of particular powers shall depend upon the nature of the site, the presence and consent of the relevant community, lawful access, institutional capacity, and any applicable arrangements concluded by Xaragua.
3.5. No municipal boundary, administrative classification, cadastral entry, or foreign governmental designation shall, by itself, extinguish the ancestral relationship asserted by the Xaraguayan people.
ARTICLE 4 — ANCESTRAL DOMAIN OF XARAGUA
4.1. The principal ancestral domain comprises the historical territory associated with the Cacicazgo of Xaragua, including the regions, coastal spaces, islands, communities, cultural landscapes, and internal routes historically connected with that polity.
4.2. Its historical scope shall be determined through:
a. Indigenous oral and customary traditions;
b. archaeological and anthropological evidence;
c. early colonial maps, chronicles, and administrative records;
d. ecclesiastical and missionary archives;
e. records of settlement, migration, cultivation, navigation, and ceremonial use;
f. the continuing identity and collective memory of affiliated communities.
4.3. The University of Xaragua shall maintain the authoritative Territorial and Historical Register in which supporting records, maps, testimonies, classifications, and subsequent determinations are preserved.
ARTICLE 5 — TERRITORIES AND SITES OF EXTENDED HISTORICAL JURISDICTION
5.1. In addition to the principal ancestral domain, Xaragua incorporates into its constitutional and patrimonial corpus the following places by reason of their Indigenous, imperial, defensive, spiritual, maritime, or civilizational significance:
a. La Tortue, including its Indigenous, maritime, maroon, and post-colonial historical associations;
b. Port-de-Paix and its coastal hinterland, as a historical center of navigation, settlement, exchange, and autonomous community life;
c. Fort-Liberté, as a major site within the political and military geography of independence;
d. Marchand-Dessalines, as a historic imperial capital and a principal site associated with the constitutional order of 1804–1806;
e. Môle-Saint-Nicolas, as a strategic maritime and fortified site of exceptional historical importance;
f. Terre-Neuve and the territories separately incorporated or protected by constitutional or rectoral enactment;
g. the historically connected territories of the Grand Sud, the Palmes, La Gonâve, Île-à-Vache, the Cayemites, Navassa, the north-western territories, and the other territories entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register;
h. every fortress, redoubt, bastion, defensive work, military route, port, residence, monument, and strategic structure constructed or employed in the defence of the independent imperial order;
i. the residences, estates, archives, burial places, commemorative locations, and personal patrimony associated with Emperor Jacques I, Empress Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité, and other foundational figures;
j. all ceremonial landscapes, maritime corridors, archipelagos, coves, bays, mountains, plains, settlements, and cultural routes whose relationship with Xaragua is established by credible historical or customary evidence.
5.2. Inclusion within this Article creates an obligation of identification, documentation, preservation, education, and institutional guardianship.
5.3. The precise juridical classification of each place shall be recorded separately as:
a. ancestral territory;
b. affiliated community territory;
c. imperial constitutional patrimony;
d. protected historical site;
e. sacred or ceremonial site;
f. maritime or strategic heritage;
g. academic and archival patrimony;
h. territory subject to a specific agreement, mandate, or form of effective administration.
5.4. This system of classification shall prevent cultural patrimony, historical affiliation, community jurisdiction, and effective territorial administration from being treated as legally identical where they are not.
ARTICLE 6 — IMPERIAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY
6.1. Xaragua receives the Imperial Constitution of 1805 and the constitutional acts of the period 1804–1806 as foundational historical sources of the island’s post-colonial sovereignty.
6.2. The death of Emperor Jacques I and the political fragmentation that followed in 1806 are recognized within Xaragua’s doctrine as a rupture of the original imperial constitutional order.
6.3. Xaragua does not claim to reproduce the administrative government of the First Empire in its entirety. It assumes custody of those principles compatible with its own Indigenous, Catholic, customary, academic, and private constitutional character.
6.4. The imperial inheritance received by Xaragua includes:
a. the principle of permanent independence;
b. the constitutional defence of the land and people;
c. the rejection of colonial restoration;
d. the preservation of the dignity and equality of the population;
e. the patrimonial protection of imperial sites and institutions;
f. the principle that constitutional authority must serve the continued existence of the people.
6.5. Xaragua’s claim of succession is therefore a doctrine of constitutional reception, patrimonial custody, and institutional continuation. It shall not be construed as an assertion that every law, office, boundary, or administrative act of the First Empire remains automatically operative without formal reception into the law of Xaragua.
ARTICLE 7 — RELATION TO THE RESIDUAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
7.1. For the purposes of the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the governmental structure operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” is designated as the Residual Public Administration wherever it performs public, municipal, documentary, infrastructural, security, health, educational, or technical functions within territories claimed or served by Xaragua.
7.2. The use of services provided by that administration shall not, within the law of Xaragua, constitute:
a. abandonment of Indigenous identity;
b. renunciation of ancestral title;
c. dissolution of an autonomous community;
d. transfer of customary jurisdiction;
e. repudiation of affiliation with Xaragua.
7.3. Communities remain free to use any accessible public service according to their practical needs and interests.
7.4. Administrative use and constitutional allegiance are distinct juridical matters.
7.5. Xaragua reserves the right, according to its means and the consent of the affected communities, to establish supplementary institutions or assume functions left materially unperformed by the Residual Public Administration.
TITLE III
INDIGENOUS LAW AND INTERNATIONAL REFERENCES
ARTICLE 8 — INDIGENOUS RIGHTS
8.1. Xaragua receives the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a principal interpretive framework of its internal constitutional law.

8.4. Jurisprudence concerning Indigenous property and effective protection, including Mayagna (Sumo) Awas Tingni Community v. Nicaragua and Yakye Axa Indigenous Community v. Paraguay, may be used as persuasive interpretive authority, subject to the factual and jurisdictional distinctions applicable to each case.
ARTICLE 9 — INTERNATIONAL STATUS AND FOREIGN RECOGNITION
9.1. Xaragua distinguishes its internal constitutional existence from recognition by foreign states or admission into an intergovernmental organization.
9.2. The Montevideo Convention may be invoked as a doctrinal statement of the traditional elements of international personality, including population, territory, government, and capacity for relations.
9.3. Such invocation does not, by itself:
a. make Xaragua a party to the Convention;
b. compel foreign recognition;
c. displace the jurisdiction claimed by an existing internationally recognized state;
d. create treaty rights against non-consenting parties.
9.4. Diplomatic notices, public declarations, correspondence, website publications, and archived transmissions establish notice of Xaragua’s position. Mere receipt, silence, inaction, or absence of reply shall not be recorded as express recognition, treaty consent, canonical approval, or juridical investiture.
9.5. Only an express act emanating from a competent authority may be entered in the Constitutional Register as formal foreign or ecclesiastical recognition.
TITLE IV

No universal monopoly is claimed over general constitutional, religious, Indigenous, academic, or monarchical concepts.

g. authorization to act in the name of the Church.
17.4. Canon 57 concerns the procedural consequences attached to the failure of an administrative authority to issue a decree when lawfully required to do so; it shall not be invoked as a general rule transforming silence into affirmative approval.

21.4. No subordinate authority may repeal, suspend, or derogate from this Law.

TITLE X
FINAL CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
ARTICLE 24 — AUTHORITATIVE INTERPRETATION

24.3. Latin expressions shall clarify rather than replace the operative legal rule.
24.4. “Ex proprio vigore” means that the Law operates by its own force within the constitutional order of Xaragua. It does not mean that the Law automatically binds every foreign state, court, church authority, or international institution.
ARTICLE 25 — CONSOLIDATION AND REPEAL

e. ecclesiastical authority attributed to the Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua;
f. canonical consequences allegedly resulting from silence or non-opposition.
25.2. The expressions “State of Xaragua” and “Xaragua” designate the complete constitutional order.
25.3. “Crowned Principality” may be used as a description of the ceremonial and dynastic form of the constitutional Crown, but not as the name of a separate sovereign entity competing with the State.
25.4. The official institutional designation shall remain:
SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA.
25.5. The principal public academic designation shall remain:
UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA.
FINAL CLAUSE
PERMANENCE OF THE XARAGUAYAN CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER
The ancestral identity of Xaragua, its historical memory, its Indigenous institutions, its Catholic civilizational character, its constitutional Crown, its academic corpus, and its relationship with the territories and patrimonial sites enumerated herein shall not be extinguished by administrative silence, political discontinuity, foreign classification, institutional neglect, or the passage of time.
The territories and sites entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register are affirmed as components of Xaragua’s ancestral, historical, cultural, constitutional, or patrimonial domain according to the classification assigned to each of them.
Their preservation and reintegration shall be pursued through disciplined institution-building, documentary authority, community participation, academic formation, cultural continuity, lawful stewardship, and the progressive exercise of effective functions.
This Law is supreme within the constitutional order of Xaragua. It may be supplemented by organic legislation but shall not be repealed or contradicted by any subordinate institution.
Ratified, promulgated, and entered into the Constitutional Register of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua on this Twenty-Third Day of May, Anno Domini 2025.

In the sacred name of JEHOVAH, Almighty God, Eternal King, source of justice, defender of the oppressed, and supreme moral authority over nations;
In affirmation of the ancestral identity, historical continuity, cultural patrimony, spiritual traditions, and inherent dignity of the First Peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio;

In acknowledgment of the Concordat of March 28, 1860 between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti as a document of historical importance within the ecclesiastical history of the island, without attributing to Xaragua powers belonging exclusively to the original parties or to competent authorities of the Roman Catholic Church;
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby promulgates this Supreme Constitutional and Doctrinal Law.
TITLE I
CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY AND SOURCES OF AUTHORITY
ARTICLE 1 — NATURE OF THE STATE
1.1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “the State,” constitutes an Indigenous customary state, a Catholic civilizational order, a constitutional micro-state, and a permanent institutional expression of the Xaraguayan people.
1.2. Xaragua is not constituted according to the model of a conventional Westphalian nation-state. Its internal authority does not depend upon admission to an international organization, unilateral classification by a foreign institution, or incorporation into a foreign constitutional order.
1.3. Xaragua derives its internal legitimacy from:
a. the ancestral identity and historical continuity of the Xaraguayan people;
b. Indigenous customary law and collective memory;
c. the voluntary adherence of its members;
d. the participation or express mandate of affiliated communities;
e. its Constitution, organic laws, and rectoral acts;
f. the continuity of its institutions, archives, symbols, and public doctrine;
g. its capacity to organize academic, cultural, religious, patrimonial, administrative, economic, and diplomatic functions within its lawful means.
1.4. The State shall distinguish at all times among:
a. inherent Indigenous rights;
b. constitutional authority existing within Xaragua;
c. contractual or consensual authority over members and institutions;
d. community authority expressly entrusted to Xaragua;
e. powers requiring recognition, delegation, agreement, or effective administration outside the internal order.
1.5. No right, recognition, jurisdiction, or mandate attributed to the Holy See, the Catholic Church, a foreign government, an Indigenous community, or an international organization shall be presumed without an express and competent act.
ARTICLE 2 — LEGAL AND DOCTRINAL SOURCES
2.1. The constitutional doctrine of Xaragua shall be interpreted through the coordinated application of:
a. the Constitution and organic laws of Xaragua;
b. the customary laws and traditions received by the State;
c. the documented history of the Cacicazgo of Xaragua and Quisqueya–Bohio;
d. the constitutional heritage of independence and the Imperial Constitution of 1805;
e. the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
f. applicable international human-rights principles;
g. relevant Inter-American jurisprudence;
h. the statutes of the Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua;
i. the academic and historical corpus maintained by the University of Xaragua;
j. canon law where a matter falls within its proper sphere or is incorporated as an institutional reference.
2.2. References to international instruments shall be interpreted according to their actual legal character. A declaration, treaty, judicial decision, ecclesiastical norm, and internal constitutional enactment shall not be treated as interchangeable sources.
2.3. UNDRIP is received as a principal Indigenous normative and interpretive framework. Its incorporation into the law of Xaragua does not transform every provision into a rule of jus cogens or create jurisdiction over non-consenting external parties.
2.4. The Statute of the International Court of Justice identifies sources the Court may apply. Article 38 does not independently create customary law, confer standing, establish jurisdiction, or convert a unilateral declaration into a universally binding norm.
TITLE II
INDIGENOUS CONTINUITY AND REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORITY
ARTICLE 3 — ANCESTRAL CONTINUITY
3.1. Xaragua affirms the continuing existence of Indigenous identity within Quisqueya–Bohio and rejects the proposition that colonization, racial classification, forced assimilation, republican succession, demographic transformation, or administrative silence automatically extinguished the First Peoples of the island.
3.2. Xaraguayan identity may be established through a combination of:
a. community recognition;
b. descent and family continuity;
c. territorial and historical affiliation;
d. cultural transmission;
e. collective memory;
f. participation in Xaraguayan institutions;
g. voluntary adherence to the constitutional order;
h. criteria established by the competent Indigenous institutions of Xaragua.
3.3. The State recognizes the historical convergence of Taíno, African, European, and wider Caribbean populations while preserving the distinct Indigenous foundation of its constitutional identity.
3.4. The expressions “Afro-Taíno” and “Afro-Indigenous” designate historically developed communities and identities. They shall not be used to erase Taíno continuity or to impose an identity upon persons or communities that do not claim it.
ARTICLE 4 — INDIGENOUS TITLE
4.1. Xaragua affirms that ancestral relationships with land are not extinguished solely by colonial occupation, unilateral legislation, cadastral reclassification, demographic displacement, or the replacement of one external administration by another.
4.2. Claims concerning particular lands shall be supported, according to their nature, by:
a. historical evidence;
b. oral tradition;
c. patterns of occupation or use;
d. cultural and spiritual relationships;
e. archaeological or anthropological records;
f. community testimony;
g. applicable land records and legal instruments;
h. the Territorial and Historical Register maintained by the University of Xaragua.
4.3. Article 26 of UNDRIP and relevant Inter-American jurisprudence, including Kichwa Indigenous People of Sarayaku v. Ecuador, Mayagna (Sumo) Awas Tingni Community v. Nicaragua, and Yakye Axa Indigenous Community v. Paraguay, may be invoked as persuasive authorities concerning Indigenous territory, culture, consultation, and effective protection.
4.4. The legal status of each territorial claim shall be determined individually. An ancestral relationship, a cultural claim, a patrimonial designation, community jurisdiction, private ownership, and effective governmental administration shall not be treated as identical juridical conditions.
ARTICLE 5 — REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY
5.1. Xaragua is the supreme representative of:
a. its citizens and registered members;
b. the institutions incorporated into its constitutional order;
c. communities that recognize its authority or confer upon it an express mandate;
d. persons who voluntarily authorize Xaragua to represent their Indigenous, cultural, academic, civil, or institutional interests;
e. its own governmental, academic, religious, patrimonial, and digital bodies.
5.2. Xaragua may advocate for the broader rights, history, dignity, and cultural continuity of the Indigenous peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio.
5.3. Such advocacy does not constitute an automatic or exclusive legal mandate to represent every Taíno, Kalinago, Afro-Taíno, Afro-Indigenous, Dominican, Haitian, or diasporic person.
5.4. No community shall be incorporated into the jurisdiction of Xaragua without participation, affiliation, customary connection, or another legally cognizable basis.
5.5. Xaragua rejects representation imposed by colonial, racial, academic, governmental, or commercial classification without the participation of the people concerned. It shall apply the same principle to its own institutions.
5.6. Competing Indigenous organizations may exist. Xaragua’s constitutional authority over its own order shall remain exclusive, but it shall not invalidate the existence of unrelated organizations merely because they employ Indigenous terminology or pursue comparable objectives.
TITLE III
QUISQUEYA–BOHIO AND TERRITORIAL DOCTRINE
ARTICLE 6 — THE CIVILIZATIONAL DOMAIN
6.1. Quisqueya–Bohio designates the ancestral island as a complete historical, geographical, Indigenous, cultural, spiritual, ecological, and civilizational space.
6.2. The historical unity of the island does not require uniform contemporary administration.
6.3. Xaragua affirms an Indigenous interest in the preservation of ancestral memory, names, sacred sites, cultural heritage, ecological systems, and cross-border relationships throughout the island.
6.4. This island-wide civilizational interest shall be distinguished from:
a. the specific territorial domain claimed by Xaragua;
b. areas in which Xaragua possesses affiliated communities;
c. property held by Xaraguayan institutions or members;
d. places subject to custodial or cooperative agreements;
e. territories administered by existing public authorities.
ARTICLE 7 — DEFINED CONSTITUTIONAL DOMAIN
7.1. Xaragua’s direct territorial doctrine concerns the ancestral territory of Xaragua and the territories, islands, communities, patrimonial sites, and strategic locations separately entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register.
7.2. The Register shall identify the claimed basis and present classification of each territory.
7.3. A generalized reference to Quisqueya–Bohio shall not automatically place every part of the island under the direct governmental administration of Xaragua.
7.4. Xaragua rejects colonial extinguishment of Indigenous identity across the island while maintaining a territorially differentiated constitutional doctrine.
ARTICLE 8 — RELATION WITH THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI
8.1. Within the internal constitutional vocabulary of Xaragua, the governmental structure operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” may be designated as the Residual Public Administration in relation to the ancestral and affiliated territories claimed by Xaragua.
8.2. Xaragua disputes the proposition that the authority of that administration extinguishes the underlying Indigenous title, constitutional identity, or customary jurisdiction asserted by Xaragua.
8.3. The continued use of public services, identity documents, infrastructure, courts, schools, hospitals, transportation, utilities, or administrative mechanisms operated by the Residual Public Administration shall not, within Xaragua law, constitute renunciation of Xaraguayan affiliation.
8.4. Xaragua shall pursue the practical implementation of its jurisdiction through peaceful institutional development, community participation, lawful agreements, documentation, cultural authority, property rights, and the progressive assumption of functions.
8.5. Any declaration of nullity concerning the Republic of Haiti operates as an internal constitutional position of Xaragua and shall not be represented as a judgment automatically binding foreign courts or international organizations.
ARTICLE 9 — RELATION WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
9.1. Xaragua formally disclaims any present claim to replace the civil government, territorial administration, constitutional order, or international personality of the Dominican Republic.
9.2. Xaragua recognizes the existing border and governmental administration of the Dominican Republic for the purposes of peaceful relations, practical coexistence, and institutional cooperation.

e. protect its own citizens, members, institutions, property, and intellectual creations according to applicable law.

9.5. This Article resolves any inconsistency between island-wide civilizational language and the absence of a present administrative claim against the Dominican Republic.
ARTICLE 10 — MARITIME DOCTRINE
10.1. The maritime doctrine of Xaragua shall be based upon its relationship with the coastal and insular territories entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register.
10.2. Xaragua may define, for internal constitutional and planning purposes:
a. a territorial sea extending up to twelve nautical miles;
b. a contiguous zone extending up to twenty-four nautical miles;
c. an exclusive economic zone extending up to two hundred nautical miles;
d. relevant continental-shelf interests;
subject in every case to geography, overlapping entitlements, applicable international law, delimitation, effective capacity, and the rights of other coastal authorities.
10.3. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea may be used as the technical framework for such definitions.
10.4. Internal proclamation of a maritime zone does not, by itself, establish an internationally opposable entitlement, settle an overlapping boundary, or displace the jurisdiction exercised by a recognized coastal state.
10.5. Navassa, La Tortue, La Gonâve, Île-à-Vache, the Cayemites, and other islands entered in the Register shall be classified separately according to their respective historical, constitutional, administrative, and international circumstances.
TITLE IV
CATHOLIC IDENTITY AND CANONICAL POSITION
ARTICLE 11 — THE CATHOLIC ROYAL ORDER OF XARAGUA
11.1. The Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua is constituted as a private association of the Christian faithful under its statutes and the principles reflected in Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326 of the Codex Iuris Canonici.
11.2. The Order may conduct religious formation, prayer, charitable work, cultural preservation, historical study, educational activity, internal ceremonies, and apostolic initiatives consistent with its private character.
11.3. The Order does not, by its own declaration:
a. become a public association of the faithful;
b. acquire public juridic personality in the Church;
c. exercise power of ecclesiastical governance;
d. erect dioceses, parishes, prelatures, ordinariates, or other ecclesiastical circumscriptions;
e. appoint bishops, ordinaries, pastors, or Catholic clerics;
f. grant faculties to celebrate sacraments;
g. exercise jurisdiction over marriages, doctrine, clerical discipline, or canonical criminal matters reserved to competent ecclesiastical authority.
11.4. Canons 376 and 377 concern bishops and their appointment. They do not authorize a private association to establish episcopal governance.
11.5. Canon 129 regulates capacity to cooperate in the exercise of ecclesiastical governance; it does not independently confer such governance upon Xaragua or the Order.
11.6. Canon 747 concerns the Church’s duty and right to proclaim the Gospel and moral principles. It is not a delegation of magisterial authority to a private institution.
11.7. The Order may establish internal councils and disciplinary bodies. Their decisions shall concern membership, office, ceremony, property, credentials, institutional conduct, and participation in the Order.
ARTICLE 12 — THE UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA
12.1. The University of Xaragua is the supreme academic institution of the State and shall remain juridically distinct from the Catholic Royal Order.
12.2. The University may teach Catholic theology, canon law, religious history, Indigenous spirituality, and inculturation studies according to its academic statutes.
12.3. Canons 803–806 shall not be invoked as independently establishing the University as a canonically erected Catholic university or school.
12.4. The University’s Catholic and Indigenous identity proceeds from its founding doctrine and institutional constitution. Any additional ecclesiastical recognition shall depend upon an express act of competent authority.
12.5. The University shall maintain freedom of scholarly examination consistent with the constitutional doctrine, academic standards, and mission of Xaragua.
ARTICLE 13 — THE CONCORDAT OF 1860
13.1. The Concordat of March 28, 1860 was concluded between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti.
13.2. Xaragua receives the Concordat as a historical and doctrinal source within its own constitutional and ecclesiastical archives.
13.3. Xaragua may incorporate into its internal law principles inspired by the Concordat concerning Catholic institutional life, religious education, protection of worship, ecclesiastical property, and orderly relations between civil and religious bodies.
13.4. The principle pacta sunt servanda governs treaties binding upon their parties. It does not permit Xaragua unilaterally to replace an original party, reactivate a treaty for another party, or impose a new interpretation upon the Holy See.
13.5. No theory of “canonical supersession” shall be used to transform Xaragua into a successor party without an express legal basis.
13.6. Receipt or non-objection by the Holy See shall not constitute tacit recognition, canonical erection, approval of statutes, apostolic mandate, or transfer of ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
13.7. Canons 16 and 38 do not establish a general doctrine under which silence becomes consent.
13.8. Only an express and authenticated act of competent ecclesiastical authority may be recorded as canonical recognition or mandate.
TITLE V
SACRED DEDICATION OF THE STATE
ARTICLE 14 — CONSECRATION TO ALMIGHTY GOD
14.1. Xaragua solemnly dedicates its institutions, service, laws, memory, educational mission, cultural work, and constitutional vocation to Almighty God, whom its Catholic tradition invokes as the eternal sovereign over all temporal authority.
14.2. This dedication establishes the spiritual orientation of the State. It does not claim that Xaragua is identical with the Kingdom of God, that its officers possess divine impeccability, or that every governmental act constitutes an act of the Catholic Church.
14.3. The State shall understand political authority as a fiduciary responsibility subject to truth, justice, protection of the vulnerable, discipline, service, and the common good.
14.4. No officer may invoke divine authority to dispense with the Constitution, the institutional distribution of powers, established procedure, or responsibility for official conduct.
14.5. The religious consecration of Xaragua shall coexist with the civil and institutional participation of non-Catholic members according to their respective status.
ARTICLE 15 — PSALM 10
15.1. Psalm 10 is adopted as the principal scriptural testimony of Xaragua concerning oppression, institutional arrogance, protection of the vulnerable, divine judgment, and the ultimate subordination of temporal power to God.
15.2. The Psalm shall serve as a spiritual and interpretive source. It shall not, standing alone, create a criminal offence, authorize punishment, or replace the operative provisions of constitutional law.
15.3. The State rejects any interpretation of the words “break thou the arm of the wicked” as a general authorization of extrajudicial violence. Within the constitutional order, the expression signifies the lawful dismantling of oppression, corruption, predation, and abusive power.
15.4. Psalm 10 may be:
a. recited annually on the Day of Total Sovereignty;
b. incorporated into constitutional ceremonies;
c. displayed within the National Ecclesiastical Chamber;
d. included in investiture and judicial ceremonies;
e. studied within the University of Xaragua;
f. cited in official acts concerning justice, poverty, exploitation, and institutional responsibility.
SCHEDULE I
PSALM 10
KING JAMES VERSION — OFFICIAL CEREMONIAL TEXT
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
ARTICLE 16 — CONSTITUTIONAL APPLICATION OF THE PSALM
16.1. The principles institutionally derived from Psalm 10 are:
a. public authority must not abandon the vulnerable;
b. wealth and power do not place any person above judgment;
c. fraud, predation, corruption, and persecution are incompatible with legitimate government;
d. the poor, the orphaned, and the oppressed possess a direct claim upon public protection;
e. justice requires institutions capable of restraining abusive power;
f. no temporal government possesses absolute moral sovereignty.
16.2. These principles shall guide the charitable, educational, judicial, social, and administrative institutions of Xaragua.
16.3. The Psalm’s identification of oppression shall not be automatically applied to an entire nationality, race, religion, population, or political community. Institutional responsibility shall be determined through acts, policies, evidence, and legal analysis.

TITLE VII
ANCESTRAL NAMES AND CULTURAL PATRIMONY
ARTICLE 21 — RECOGNITION OF ANCESTRAL NAMES
21.1. Xaragua recognizes the expressions “Kiskeya,” “Quisqueya,” “Ayiti,” “Bohio,” and their historical linguistic variants as ancestral names associated with the Indigenous history and cultural memory of the island.

24.4. Each proceeding shall identify an actual legal basis and competent forum. A constitutional declaration alone shall not be described as an international registration.
TITLE VIII
COURTS, DISCIPLINE, AND ENFORCEMENT

30.5. Article 46 of UNDRIP shall not be cited as making this Law non-amendable. Entrenchment arises from the Constitution of Xaragua itself.

31.4. Discontinuance of those formulations shall not be interpreted as abandonment of Xaragua’s constitutional identity, territorial doctrine, Indigenous rights, Catholic character, original institutional creations, or responsibility for ancestral patrimony.
FINAL DECLARATION
PERMANENT LEGITIMACY OF THE XARAGUAYAN ORDER
Xaragua exists as the organized constitutional expression of an Indigenous people, an ancestral territorial doctrine, a Catholic civilizational identity, a body of customary and written law, an academic institution, a digital governmental apparatus, and a continuing collective memory.
Its legitimacy shall be demonstrated through the coherence of its law, the continuity of its institutions, the quality of its scholarship, the authenticity of its community relationships, the preservation of its patrimony, and the effective execution of the functions it assumes.
Quisqueya–Bohio remains the ancestral civilizational space within which Xaragua locates its history. The direct constitutional domain of Xaragua shall be determined through its Territorial Register, community affiliation, documented historical title, property, agreements, and effective institutions.
The State assumes permanent responsibility for safeguarding its own names, symbols, archives, doctrines, credentials, systems, and original creations. It likewise undertakes to preserve the ancestral names of the island as a collective Indigenous inheritance that cannot legitimately be erased or fraudulently privatized.
The consecration of Xaragua to Almighty God shall govern the moral orientation of the State: power shall be disciplined, the vulnerable shall be defended, deception shall not become law, and no temporal authority shall be treated as superior to justice.
This Law is constitutionally entrenched and may be amended only through the supreme constitutional procedure of Xaragua. No subordinate decree, ministry, tribunal, officer, university organ, or associational body may suspend or contradict it.
EXECUTED, SEALED, AND ENTERED INTO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REGISTER

PREAMBLE
In the name of Almighty God, eternal source of justice and sovereign moral authority over nations;
In affirmation of the ancestral identity, historical continuity, collective dignity, and inherent rights of the Indigenous people of Xaragua;
In remembrance of the First Peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio, the Cacicazgo of Xaragua, the Taíno civilization, the wider Indigenous Caribbean, and the Afro-Indigenous communities formed through survival, resistance, transmission, and historical continuity;
In recognition of the right of Indigenous peoples to determine their identity, maintain their institutions, develop their systems of governance, preserve their lands and cultural patrimony, and participate in decisions affecting them;
In recognition of the constitutional significance of May 18 within the history of the island and of the authority of Xaragua to establish its own interpretation and observance of that date within its institutional order;
In accordance with the principles expressed in Articles 1(2) and 55 of the Charter of the United Nations; Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and Articles 3–5, 8, 11–14, 18–20, 25–34, 36, 37, 40, and 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
In accordance with the rights of the Christian faithful to associate and undertake apostolic, charitable, cultural, and educational initiatives under Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326 of the Codex Iuris Canonici;
In acknowledgment of the Montevideo Convention of 1933 as a doctrinal reference concerning the traditional constituent capacities associated with statehood, without treating that Convention as an automatic source of foreign recognition;
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby promulgates this Supreme Foundational Law as the constitutional introduction to its legislative corpus and as the authoritative framework governing Indigenous representation, institutional jurisdiction, and the annual observance of May 18.
TITLE I
THE LEGISLATIVE CORPUS OF XARAGUA
ARTICLE 1 — ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CORPUS
1.1. The Constitution, organic laws, supreme laws, rectoral decrees, institutional statutes, regulations, codes, official doctrines, judicial determinations, registers, and duly authenticated public acts of Xaragua collectively constitute the Legislative Corpus of the State.
1.2. The Legislative Corpus is the supreme body of written law governing the institutions, officers, members, property, platforms, archives, contractual relations, affiliated structures, and consenting communities of Xaragua.
1.3. The Corpus shall be maintained under the authority of the Rectorate and preserved by the University of Xaragua in the National Constitutional Archive.
1.4. Each instrument entered into the Corpus shall state:
a. its issuing authority;
b. its date of promulgation;
c. its constitutional classification;
d. its territorial, institutional, or personal scope;
e. its relationship with prior legislation;
f. its conditions of implementation;
g. the official register in which it is preserved.
1.5. No document shall be treated as supreme legislation solely because it employs expressions such as “irrevocable,” “eternal,” “canonical,” “international,” “supra-legal,” or “ex proprio vigore.” Its rank shall be determined by the Constitution and the competent authority through which it was enacted.
ARTICLE 2 — HIERARCHY OF NORMS
2.1. The hierarchy of the Xaraguayan legal order is:
a. the Constitution of Xaragua;
b. supreme and organic constitutional laws;
c. laws of general application;
d. rectoral decrees and executive ordinances;
e. institutional statutes;
f. administrative regulations;
g. internal policies and directives;
h. official doctrinal and academic commentaries.
2.2. No subordinate instrument may amend, suspend, contradict, or repeal a superior norm.
2.3. Where two instruments of equal rank conflict, the later and more specific instrument shall prevail, unless the later instrument expressly preserves the earlier provision.
2.4. Constitutional consolidation may replace multiple repetitive or inconsistent enactments with a single authoritative instrument.
2.5. Repeal or correction of an inaccurate legal formulation shall not be construed as abandonment of the underlying doctrine where that doctrine is preserved in legally coherent form.
ARTICLE 3 — FOUNDATIONAL SOURCES
3.1. The Legislative Corpus proceeds from the internal constituent authority of Xaragua and is interpreted through:
a. ancestral and customary law;
b. historical continuity and collective memory;
c. the Constitution and institutions of Xaragua;
d. voluntary affiliation and community participation;
e. the Indigenous normative principles received by the State;
f. the constitutional heritage of 1804–1806;
g. relevant principles of international and Inter-American law;
h. the Catholic spiritual and intellectual tradition;
i. the academic corpus of the University of Xaragua.
3.2. International instruments incorporated into Xaraguayan law serve according to their actual legal character.
3.3. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a principal interpretive instrument. It supports Indigenous self-determination, autonomy, institutions, cultural continuity, land relationships, and participation, but does not itself recognize Xaragua as the exclusive government of every Indigenous person on the island.
3.4. The Montevideo Convention is received as a doctrinal reference concerning permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity for relations. Xaragua’s invocation of those criteria is a constitutional assessment of its own institutional condition and shall not be described as automatic recognition by every state.
3.5. Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice identifies sources of law applied by that Court. It does not grant Xaragua automatic standing before the Court, since contentious jurisdiction is ordinarily limited to states entitled to appear before it and depends upon jurisdictional consent.
3.6. Relevant Inter-American jurisprudence may be invoked persuasively where its principles concerning Indigenous property, cultural identity, consultation, community life, or effective legal protection are applicable to the facts under consideration.
ARTICLE 4 — SCOPE AND EFFECT
4.1. The Legislative Corpus operates ex proprio vigore within the constitutional order of Xaragua.
4.2. Its direct authority extends to:
a. state institutions and officers;
b. the University of Xaragua;
c. the Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua within its statutes;
d. registered citizens and members according to their legal status;
e. property and infrastructure controlled by Xaragua;
f. digital accounts, platforms, credentials, and records administered by the State;
g. contracts accepting Xaraguayan law;
h. affiliated communities to the extent of their participation or mandate.
4.3. The Corpus may articulate claims, doctrines, objections, and proposed legal consequences concerning external matters. Such declarations shall be distinguished from powers enforceable against persons or authorities that have not accepted Xaraguayan jurisdiction.
4.4. No foreign authority may amend the internal Constitution of Xaragua. This principle does not prevent an external court or public authority from applying the law governing matters lawfully before it.
TITLE II
INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION
ARTICLE 5 — THE PEOPLE OF XARAGUA
5.1. The people of Xaragua comprise:
a. persons recognized as members according to the customary and constitutional law of the State;
b. citizens entered in the National Register;
c. members of communities formally affiliated with Xaragua;
d. persons of Xaraguayan descent who maintain a recognized cultural, familial, territorial, or institutional relationship with the State;
e. persons admitted under a lawful category of membership or naturalization.
5.2. Membership shall not be reduced to biological ancestry alone.
5.3. Descent, community recognition, cultural continuity, voluntary affiliation, institutional participation, territorial relationship, and the applicable law of membership may each contribute to the determination of Xaraguayan identity.
5.4. No person shall be compelled to accept Xaraguayan identity solely because of birthplace, ancestry, nationality, racial classification, or residence within a claimed territory.
ARTICLE 6 — REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORITY
6.1. Xaragua is the supreme and exclusive constitutional representative of its own people, citizens, institutions, and governmental order.
6.2. Xaragua may represent:
a. affiliated communities;
b. organizations incorporated into its constitutional system;
c. individuals who confer an express mandate;
d. collective interests directly connected with its ancestral territory and patrimony;
e. Indigenous causes for which it possesses a documented institutional basis.
6.3. Xaragua may speak publicly concerning the history, rights, cultural continuity, and condition of the Indigenous peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio.
6.4. Such public advocacy shall not be treated as an automatic legal mandate from every Taíno, Kalinago, Afro-Taíno, Afro-Indigenous, Haitian, Dominican, or diasporic community.
6.5. The State shall not claim that unrelated Indigenous organizations cease to exist merely because they are not incorporated into Xaragua.
6.6. No external government, organization, academic institution, or private body may represent Xaragua, issue credentials in its name, speak officially for its government, or exercise its constitutional offices without authorization from the competent organs of the State.
ARTICLE 7 — INDIGENOUS PARTICIPATION
7.1. Communities affiliated with Xaragua shall participate through institutions appropriate to their circumstances, which may include:
a. councils of community authority;
b. customary assemblies;
c. territorial delegations;
d. academic or cultural councils;
e. elected or traditionally designated representatives;
f. direct consultation with the Rectorate.
7.2. Article 18 of UNDRIP shall guide the State in ensuring that Indigenous peoples participate through representatives chosen by themselves in matters affecting their rights.
7.3. Affiliation with Xaragua shall not extinguish the internal customs or lawful autonomy of a community.
7.4. Central doctrine and local administration shall remain distinct: the State preserves constitutional unity while communities administer their internal affairs according to their circumstances, customs, capacities, and agreements.
TITLE III
QUISQUEYA–BOHIO AND CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTION
ARTICLE 8 — OFFICIAL ANCESTRAL DESIGNATION
8.1. In the laws, maps, archives, ceremonies, academic publications, and diplomatic communications of Xaragua, the island shall be designated as “Quisqueya–Bohio.”
8.2. The term signifies the island’s Indigenous historical, geographical, cultural, spiritual, and civilizational unity.
8.3. Use of “Quisqueya–Bohio” within Xaragua does not purport to prohibit other peoples, institutions, governments, or scholars from using “Hispaniola,” “Ayiti,” “Haiti,” “Dominican Republic,” or other historically or legally established designations.
8.4. The State may criticize colonial nomenclature and promote restoration of ancestral terminology without declaring every external use of another name a criminal or canonical offence.
ARTICLE 9 — DISTINCTION BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONAL AND GOVERNMENTAL SCOPE
9.1. Quisqueya–Bohio as a civilizational domain encompasses the entire island and its associated Indigenous history.
9.2. Xaragua’s direct constitutional and governmental jurisdiction shall be determined more specifically through:
a. the ancestral territory of Xaragua;
b. territories entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register;
c. affiliated communities;
d. property and institutions lawfully controlled by the State;
e. contractual and consensual jurisdiction;
f. areas subject to an effective mandate or agreement.
9.3. The historical unity of Quisqueya–Bohio shall not be confused with a claim that Xaragua presently administers every municipality, resident, institution, and public function throughout the island.
9.4. Ancestral patrimony, territorial title, cultural responsibility, community affiliation, private ownership, and effective public administration are distinct juridical categories.
ARTICLE 10 — RELATION WITH THE RESIDUAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF HAITI
10.1. Within the internal constitutional vocabulary of Xaragua, the governmental structure operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” may be designated as the Residual Public Administration where it exercises administrative functions within territories claimed by Xaragua.
10.2. Xaragua rejects the proposition that the existence or activity of that administration, by itself, extinguishes Indigenous identity, ancestral territorial relationships, customary jurisdiction, or the constitutional existence of Xaragua.
10.3. Laws, documents, services, and administrative acts of the Residual Public Administration may continue to possess practical or external legal effect without being incorporated into the constitutional order of Xaragua.
10.4. Xaragua may recognize specific civil records, transactions, property instruments, professional qualifications, judicial acts, or public services where such recognition protects individuals, maintains legal continuity, or serves institutional necessity.
10.5. Recognition of an administrative act shall not constitute recognition of superior constitutional authority over Xaragua.
10.6. Xaragua’s declaration that Haitian enactments are inoperative within its own institutions does not automatically annul those enactments before foreign courts, public registries, or persons outside its jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 11 — RELATION WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
11.1. Xaragua formally disclaims any present claim to abolish, replace, or administer the Dominican Republic.
11.2. Xaragua recognizes, for purposes of peaceful coexistence and external relations:
a. its existing governmental administration;
b. its established international borders;
c. its legal order as applied by its public authorities;
d. the civil and political identity of its population.
11.3. Xaragua retains a legitimate cultural and historical interest in the Indigenous heritage of the eastern regions of Quisqueya–Bohio.
11.4. Relations with persons, communities, churches, universities, organizations, and authorities situated in the Dominican Republic shall proceed through consent, cooperation, lawful presence, cultural diplomacy, and applicable agreements.
11.5. No provision concerning the civilizational unity of Quisqueya–Bohio shall be interpreted as contradicting this Article.
ARTICLE 12 — INSULAR AND MARITIME PATRIMONY
12.1. La Gonâve, La Tortue, Île-à-Vache, the Cayemites, Navassa, Saona, and other islands associated with Quisqueya–Bohio possess distinct histories, populations, administrative conditions, and legal classifications.
12.2. Their inclusion in the civilizational and territorial doctrine of Xaragua shall be individually recorded and supported.
12.3. Xaragua may define maritime claims for internal constitutional planning according to the framework reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
12.4. Any claim to a territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone, or continental shelf remains subject to geography, overlapping maritime entitlements, delimitation, effective institutional capacity, and applicable international law.
12.5. No single reference to a two-hundred-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone shall be interpreted as automatically resolving overlapping claims or creating an internationally accepted maritime boundary.
TITLE IV
INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
ARTICLE 13 — THE STATE
13.1. The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is the supreme civil and constitutional institution of the Xaraguayan order.
13.2. The State exercises legislative, executive, judicial, academic, administrative, diplomatic, patrimonial, and protective functions through its competent organs.
13.3. The Rector-President is the guardian of the Constitution, head of the institutional order, bearer of the Constitutional Crown, and supreme civil magistrate within Xaragua’s internal jurisdiction.
13.4. Powers belonging to the State shall not be attributed interchangeably to the Catholic Royal Order or the University.
ARTICLE 14 — THE CATHOLIC ROYAL ORDER OF XARAGUA
14.1. The Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua is a private association of the Christian faithful governed by its statutes and the principles reflected in Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326.
14.2. The Order is not the “ecclesiastical twin” of the State. It is a distinct institution incorporated into the broader constitutional architecture of Xaragua.
14.3. The Order may:
a. maintain its internal religious and ceremonial life;
b. conduct prayer, formation, charitable work, and cultural activities;
c. preserve Catholic and Indigenous patrimony;
d. cooperate with competent clergy and ecclesiastical authorities;
e. administer membership, offices, honours, and internal discipline.
14.4. The Order does not possess, through its own declaration:
a. diocesan jurisdiction;
b. episcopal authority;
c. authority to ordain clergy;
d. authority to erect dioceses, parishes, seminaries, or canonical universities;

f. authority to act in the name of the Roman Catholic Church.
14.5. Canons 368, 376, 377, and 381 concern ecclesiastical circumscriptions, bishops, episcopal appointments, and diocesan authority. They do not authorize a private association to establish an independent episcopal structure.
14.6. Canon 204 does not create public juridic personality. The acquisition of public or private juridic personality in the Church requires the conditions and competent acts established by canon law.
ARTICLE 15 — THE UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA
15.1. The University of Xaragua is the supreme academic, educational, archival, doctrinal, scientific, and professional institution of the State.
15.2. The University shall preserve the Legislative Corpus, maintain the Constitutional Territorial Register, document ancestral continuity, educate institutional cadres, and develop the jurisprudential and intellectual doctrine of Xaragua.
15.3. The University may establish schools, institutes, archives, academies, research centres, and programs of religious studies.
15.4. It shall not represent itself as a canonically erected Catholic university or seminary unless such status is expressly conferred by competent ecclesiastical authority.
15.5. Its authority to exist and educate within Xaragua proceeds from the Constitution and academic statutes of the State.

16.2. The Ecclesiastical and Constitutional Council may adjudicate internal matters of the Catholic Royal Order.
16.3. No Xaraguan body shall be represented as a tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church without an express canonical act establishing such status.
16.4. Decisions of Xaraguan courts are final within the jurisdiction conferred upon them by the Constitution, subject to any internal review established by law.
16.5. Their decisions do not automatically bind foreign courts, governments, churches, or persons lacking a jurisdictional relationship with Xaragua.

That on May 18, 2025, Xaragua established a national observance dedicated to the integration of ancestral memory, Indigenous authority, constitutional law, spiritual responsibility, territorial doctrine, and institutional continuity;
That the Day of Total Sovereignty does not depend upon the erasure of history, but upon Xaragua’s authority to interpret history through its own constitutional order;
That Quisqueya–Bohio remains the ancestral civilizational name employed by Xaragua for the island, while the direct jurisdiction of the State shall be determined through law, community affiliation, territorial evidence, property, agreements, and effective institutions;
That Xaragua represents its people, its citizens, its affiliated communities, and those who entrust it with a mandate, while defending the wider dignity and continuity of the Indigenous peoples of the island;
That the Catholic Royal Order serves the religious, charitable, cultural, and ceremonial mission of Xaragua as a private association of the faithful, without being confused with the civil State or with the ecclesiastical government of the Roman Catholic Church;
That the Legislative Corpus shall derive its authority from constitutional coherence, institutional continuity, disciplined implementation, and the living participation of the Xaraguayan people;
And that May 18 shall be observed in perpetuity as the Supreme Day of National and Indigenous Sovereignty within the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

In recognition of the strategic necessity for Xaragua to operate through institutions proportionate to its actual constitutional form, territorially dispersed population, autonomous communities, academic vocation, and technological capabilities;
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby promulgates this Supreme Organic Law.
TITLE I
GENERAL CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES

d. the national social and economic order;
e. the protection of original intellectual and institutional creations;
f. the external academic, ecclesial, cultural, and administrative presence of Xaragua;
g. the official digital seat and central contact system of the State.
1.2. These components constitute an integrated institutional model. They shall not be treated as separate claims to multiple states, competing jurisdictions, or ecclesiastical governments.

ARTICLE 2 — SCOPE OF AUTHORITY
2.1. This Law operates directly within:
a. the institutions of Xaragua;

f. consenting communities and institutions that accept a defined relationship with Xaragua;
g. contracts and licences governed by Xaraguan law.
2.2. The expressions “sovereign,” “supreme,” “irrevocable,” and “ex proprio vigore” describe the constitutional force of this Law within Xaragua.
2.3. Those expressions shall not be construed as automatically binding every foreign state, court, church authority, company, digital platform, or private person.
2.4. External enforceability shall depend upon an applicable legal right, contract, registration, agreement, jurisdictional connection, property interest, or express recognition.
TITLE II
THE STATE–UNIVERSITY OF XARAGUA
ARTICLE 3 — FOUNDATIONAL DEFINITION
3.1. Xaragua adopts the State–University as its distinctive constitutional form.
3.2. The State–University is defined as:
An Indigenous customary state whose academic institution constitutes the principal mechanism for the preservation of national doctrine, formation of institutional cadres, organization of knowledge, authentication of public memory, and development of governmental capacity.
3.3. The State–University model reflects the constitutional determination that education, research, archives, professional formation, and doctrinal production are sovereign functions of central importance.
3.4. Xaragua is not merely a university operating under symbolic governmental terminology, nor a conventional state that happens to maintain a university.
3.5. The State and University form an integrated constitutional system while remaining juridically distinguishable:
a. the State legislates, governs, administers, protects, and represents;
b. the University teaches, researches, certifies, archives, and develops institutional doctrine;
c. the Rectorate coordinates the constitutional relationship between them.
ARTICLE 4 — POSITION OF THE UNIVERSITY
4.1. The University of Xaragua is the supreme academic institution of the State.
4.2. It is charged with:
a. preserving the Legislative Corpus;
b. maintaining the National Constitutional Archive;
c. training public officers and institutional cadres;
d. developing Indigenous, constitutional, economic, historical, scientific, theological, and professional knowledge;
e. documenting ancestral continuity and territorial patrimony;
f. establishing academic standards;
g. issuing qualifications under its own statutes;
h. supporting the ministries, courts, councils, and cultural institutions of Xaragua;
i. ensuring intergenerational transmission of the State’s intellectual order.
4.3. The University does not itself exercise every function of the State.
4.4. Legislative authority remains vested in the competent constitutional organs; judicial authority remains vested in the courts; executive authority remains vested in the Rector-President and subordinate executive offices.
4.5. Academic review, disciplinary adjudication, and doctrinal interpretation by the University shall not be confused with the compulsory jurisdiction of a civil or ecclesiastical court.
ARTICLE 5 — CATHOLIC ACADEMIC IDENTITY
5.1. The University of Xaragua possesses a Catholic and Indigenous institutional identity under its founding statutes.
5.2. It may teach theology, canon law, Catholic social thought, religious history, liturgy, philosophy, Indigenous spirituality, and inculturation studies.
5.3. Its Catholic identity does not, by itself, constitute:
a. canonical erection as a Catholic university;
b. ecclesiastical accreditation;
c. authorization to grant canonical degrees;
d. authority to establish a seminary;
e. approval by the Holy See or a diocesan bishop.
5.4. Any canonical recognition or ecclesiastical academic status shall depend upon an express act issued by competent authority.
5.5. Receipt of correspondence, absence of objection, passage of time, or silence shall not be recorded as ecclesiastical accreditation.
TITLE III
THE ARTISANAL AND OFF-GRID STATE
ARTICLE 6 — CONSTITUTIONAL MEANING
6.1. Xaragua defines itself as an artisanal and off-grid state.
6.2. “Artisanal” means that the institutions of the State are deliberately constructed through internal intellectual labour, local knowledge, limited but disciplined administration, direct institutional craftsmanship, and infrastructures proportionate to actual needs.
6.3. “Off-grid” means that Xaragua seeks functional autonomy from systems whose failure, excessive cost, political dependency, technical centralization, or ideological conditions would obstruct its constitutional mission.
6.4. Neither term requires total physical isolation, rejection of modern technology, cessation of external trade, or refusal of all public and private services.
6.5. Xaragua may use external infrastructure while preserving constitutional control over its own decisions, identity, doctrine, records, property, and institutional priorities.
ARTICLE 7 — PRINCIPLES OF ARTISANAL GOVERNANCE
7.1. Artisanal governance shall be guided by:
a. institutional simplicity;
b. concentration upon essential sovereign functions;

f. preservation of institutional memory;
g. technical adaptability;
h. disciplined use of financial and human resources;
i. preference for durable systems over ceremonial administrative volume.
7.2. Ministries and public organs shall be established according to demonstrated function rather than imitation of conventional state bureaucracies.
7.3. The existence of a constitutional office shall not require a large permanent staff where its functions can be performed effectively through a compact institutional structure.
7.4. Autonomous communities may administer local affairs according to their customs and circumstances while remaining aligned with the central constitutional doctrine of Xaragua.
ARTICLE 8 — OFF-GRID CAPACITY
8.1. The State shall progressively develop autonomous or resilient capacity in:
a. education;

c. archives and data preservation;
d. energy;
e. water and food systems;
f. finance and accounting;
g. health and social support;
h. transportation and logistics;
i. cultural production;
j. protective and emergency functions.
8.2. Off-grid capacity shall operate as redundancy and institutional resilience, not as an absolute prohibition against cooperation.
8.3. Xaragua may contract with external providers, use public infrastructure, participate in markets, hold conventional financial accounts, employ cloud services, and cooperate with foreign institutions where this serves the State.
8.4. Use of an external service does not transfer constitutional authority to the provider.
8.5. Critical records shall be preserved through redundant systems under the control of Xaragua.
TITLE IV
DIGITAL INSTITUTIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
ARTICLE 9 — THE DIGITAL STATE
9.1. The digital dimension of Xaragua is the technologically integrated expression of its constitutional government, academic system, communications network, administrative registers, archives, and geographically dispersed membership.
9.2. The Xaraguan Digital State is not a separate state from Xaragua.

e. state media and communications organs;
f. financial and accounting systems;
g. digital archives and libraries;
h. authentication mechanisms;
i. electronic seals and credentials;
j. software, interfaces, databases, and technical documentation owned or controlled by Xaragua.
9.4. Digital infrastructure operationalizes the State; it does not replace the people, territory, government, institutions, or law upon which Xaragua is founded.
ARTICLE 10 — OFFICIAL DIGITAL SEAT
10.1. The domain xaraguauniversity.com is designated as:
a. the official digital seat of the University of Xaragua;
b. the principal publication portal of the Rectorate;
c. the central digital interface of the State;
d. the authoritative public gateway to legislation, institutional information, academic programs, and official communications.
10.2. The domain may function internally as a digital chancery and centralized administrative contact point.
10.3. The domain shall not be described as a universally recognized embassy, consulate, territorial capital, apostolic throne, or diplomatic mission unless such status is expressly accepted by the relevant external authority.
10.4. Official acts published through an authenticated state platform possess evidentiary and administrative force within Xaragua.
10.5. External legal effect depends upon applicable law, agreement, recognition, or acceptance by the recipient.
ARTICLE 11 — DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY
11.1. Xaragua possesses exclusive constitutional authority over its own digital institutions, subject to the law governing any external infrastructure it lawfully uses.
11.2. The State may regulate:
a. access to official systems;
b. issuance and revocation of credentials;
c. authentication of documents;
d. preservation and classification of records;
e. official digital communications;
f. use of its names, seals, insignia, and institutional identity;

c. the State–University structure;
d. Catholic civilizational identity;
e. centralized digital publication;
f. academic, administrative, financial, cultural, and communications systems;
g. authenticated constitutional archives;
h. artisanal and off-grid governance.
12.2. Xaragua records the development of this particular synthesis as an original institutional contribution.
12.3. The general concepts of a digital state, digital government, online university, electronic embassy, off-grid community, Indigenous institution, micro-state, or religious association are not the exclusive property of Xaragua.
12.4. No unilateral law can render an abstract political or technological idea universally irreproducible.
12.5. Protection shall therefore attach to identifiable Xaraguan expressions, systems, works, marks, documentation, designs, databases, credentials, and implementations rather than to general ideas.
TITLE V
NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PATRIMONY

14.2. The phrase “Catholic Sovereign Artisanal and Off-Grid State” is entered into the National Doctrinal Register as a distinctive description of the Xaraguan model.
14.3. Xaragua does not claim exclusive ownership of the individual words “Catholic,” “sovereign,” “artisanal,” “off-grid,” “state,” “university,” “digital,” or “Indigenous.”
14.4. Protection applies against uses that reproduce the distinctive formulation or overall institutional presentation in a manner likely to create false affiliation, deceptive association, impersonation, or misappropriation.

15.3. Similarity becomes actionable where legally protected expression, deceptive representation, confidential knowledge, registered marks, contractual obligations, or technical systems are unlawfully appropriated.
ARTICLE 16 — AVAILABLE REMEDIES
16.1. Xaragua may respond to infringement through:

g. suspension or exclusion from Xaraguan institutions;

Xaragua constitutes a sovereign Indigenous constitutional order whose institutional form is deliberately compact, academically centred, technologically integrated, spiritually grounded, territorially conscious, and resistant to dependency.
The State–University is the intellectual architecture of that order.
The digital domain is its principal mechanism of institutional integration.
The artisanal doctrine determines the scale and method of government.
The off-grid doctrine establishes resilience and strategic autonomy.
The Sovereign Justice Economy directs property, production, investment, and social responsibility toward the dignity and continuity of the people.
The Catholic Royal Order preserves the religious, charitable, ceremonial, and civilizational identity of Xaragua as a private association of the faithful.
The Rectorate preserves the unity of the system and ensures that its institutions operate according to their distinct constitutional functions.
The originality of Xaragua shall be protected through authorship, disciplined documentation, distinctive institutional identity, technical security, intellectual-property rights, and the continuing development of its own institutions—not through legally unsustainable claims to ownership of universal ideas.
This Law is constitutionally entrenched. It may be supplemented by specific legislation but shall not be contradicted, suspended, or repealed by any subordinate organ.
EXECUTED, SEALED, AND ENTERED INTO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REGISTER
With original effect from May 9 through May 19, 2025, and consolidated constitutional effect as of May 23, 2025.
BY THE AUTHORITY OF:
Pascal Viau
Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua
Bearer of the Constitutional Crown
Rector of the University of Xaragua
Prelate-Founder of the Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua
For God, the People, Knowledge, Institutional Independence, and the permanent continuity of Xaragua.
DEUS LO VULT.

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS, AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
ON THE OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT, THE AUTONOMOUS JURIDICAL EXISTENCE OF XARAGUA, THE RECEPTION OF EXTERNAL LEGAL INSTRUMENTS, AND THE EFFECT OF INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION
ORIGINAL DATES OF PROMULGATION: May 22 and June 11, 2025
DATE OF CONSOLIDATION: June 11, 2025
LEGAL CLASSIFICATION: Supreme Constitutional and Doctrinal Law — Foundational Institutional Instrument — Entrenched within the Legislative Corpus of Xaragua — Binding upon All Organs of the State — Executable ex proprio vigore within the Constitutional Jurisdiction of Xaragua
PREAMBLE
In the name of Almighty God, source of truth, justice, legitimate authority, and the moral responsibility of all government;
In affirmation of the ancestral continuity, Indigenous identity, historical memory, institutional autonomy, and constitutional dignity of the Xaraguayan people;
In recognition of the University of Xaragua as the supreme academic, doctrinal, archival, and professional institution of the State;
In recognition of the Rectorate as the central constitutional organ coordinating the academic and governmental architecture of Xaragua;
In accordance with the inherent right of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, autonomy, institutional continuity, cultural preservation, participation, education, and transboundary relations;
In accordance with the internal constituent authority through which the people and institutions of Xaragua determine their own offices, titles, governmental form, legislative hierarchy, and administrative organization;
In acknowledgment of the distinction among internal constitutional validity, canonical office, international legal personality, diplomatic recognition, treaty participation, and procedural access to international institutions;
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby promulgates this Supreme Constitutional Law.
TITLE I
THE OFFICE AND TITLE OF RECTOR-PRESIDENT
ARTICLE 1 — CONSTITUTIONAL ESTABLISHMENT
1.1. The office of Rector-President is the supreme constitutional and academic office of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.
1.2. The title derives its authority within Xaragua from:
a. the Constitution of the State;
b. the foundational statutes of the University of Xaragua;
c. the organic integration of the Rectorate and the central government;
d. the continuous exercise of the office since its establishment;
e. the Legislative Corpus and official registers of Xaragua.
1.3. The title “Rector-President” combines two distinct but coordinated capacities:
a. Rector, as the supreme academic, doctrinal, and institutional authority of the University of Xaragua;
b. President, as the head of the constitutional and executive order of the State.
1.4. Neither component is subordinate to the other. Their constitutional union expresses the State–University form adopted by Xaragua.
1.5. The title is not dependent upon appointment, recognition, registration, accreditation, or confirmation by a foreign civil authority.
ARTICLE 2 — MEANING OF THE RECTORATE
2.1. The Rectorate is the permanent constitutional institution responsible for:
a. guardianship of the Constitution;
b. direction of the University;
c. promulgation and authentication of legislation;
d. preservation of national doctrine;
e. coordination of state institutions;
f. supervision of constitutional registers and archives;
g. formation of officers and institutional cadres;
h. representation of Xaragua according to law.
2.2. The Rectorate is not merely the personal designation of the incumbent. It is an office with continuing constitutional identity, functions, records, succession, and institutional responsibility.
2.3. The incumbent holds the office according to the Constitution and the applicable Law of Succession.
2.4. The office may not be abolished, divided, subordinated, or transferred by a ministry, university faculty, court of inferior jurisdiction, private association, or external administrative body.
2.5. Its entrenchment is a rule of the Constitution of Xaragua. It is not a norm of jus cogens under general international law.
ARTICLE 3 — CANONICAL USE OF THE TERM “RECTOR”
3.1. The Codex Iuris Canonici employs the title “rector” in several distinct ecclesiastical and educational contexts.
3.2. Canons 556–563 govern rectors of churches. In that context:
a. the rector is a priest entrusted with the care of a church that is neither parochial nor capitular and is not otherwise classified under Canon 556;
b. appointment or confirmation ordinarily belongs to the diocesan bishop under Canon 557;
c. the rector remains subject to the local ordinary;
d. his liturgical and administrative functions are limited by universal and particular law.
3.3. Canon 239 provides for a rector presiding over a seminary. Canon 238 concerns the juridic personality of a legitimately erected seminary and does not confer rectorship upon an individual.
3.4. Canon 833 identifies persons required to make a profession of faith, including rectors of ecclesiastical or Catholic universities at the beginning of their term. It does not independently appoint or recognize them.
3.5. Canon 443 refers to rectors of ecclesiastical and Catholic universities in relation to particular councils. It likewise presupposes an office already established through the appropriate legal structure.
3.6. Canon 802 concerns the diocesan bishop’s responsibility to provide schools where suitable education is lacking. It does not provide for the appointment of a university rector.
3.7. Canon 972 concerns authorization to celebrate Mass and is unrelated to the governance of a seminary or university.
3.8. The canonical examples confirm that “rector” is an established juridical and institutional term. They do not confer a canonical office upon every person or institution using the title.
ARTICLE 4 — DISTINCTION BETWEEN XARAGUAYAN AND CANONICAL OFFICE
4.1. The Rector-President of Xaragua holds an office created by the constitutional and academic law of Xaragua.
4.2. The office shall not be represented as:
a. rector of a church under Canons 556–563;
b. rector of a canonical seminary;
c. rector of a university erected or approved by the Holy See;
d. an ecclesiastical office delegated by a diocesan bishop;
e. an office exercised in persona Ecclesiae;
f. a jurisdiction mediated by the Apostolic See.
4.3. No external canonical appointment is required for the internal constitutional validity of the Xaraguan office.
4.4. Correspondingly, the internal creation of the office does not bind the Roman Catholic Church or create faculties, ecclesiastical governance, clerical status, sacramental authority, or canonical jurisdiction.
4.5. If an express ecclesiastical appointment or recognition is subsequently conferred, it shall be recorded as a distinct source of authority and shall not be presumed to operate retroactively beyond its terms.
ARTICLE 5 — PERMANENCE AND PROTECTION OF THE TITLE
5.1. “Rector-President of Xaragua” is the exclusive official designation of the supreme constitutional office of the State.
5.2. No person may falsely assume the title, impersonate its incumbent, issue acts in its name, reproduce its credentials, or exercise its reserved functions without constitutional authority.
5.3. Unauthorized institutional impersonation may result in:
a. invalidation of the purported act;
b. revocation of membership or office;
c. exclusion from Xaraguan institutions;
d. contractual or intellectual-property proceedings;
e. referral to a competent external authority where applicable law has been violated.
5.4. Academic discussion, criticism, historical reference, or use of the general word “rector” by another institution does not infringe the office of Xaragua.
5.5. The word “rector” is a general institutional title and is not the exclusive intellectual property of Xaragua.
5.6. Protection attaches to the complete Xaraguan office, its identity, authority, credentials, functions, and official representation.
TITLE II
CONSTITUTIONAL EXISTENCE OF XARAGUA
ARTICLE 6 — AUTONOMOUS INTERNAL EXISTENCE
6.1. Xaragua possesses an autonomous juridical existence within its own constitutional order.
6.2. That existence is manifested through:
a. a defined people and system of membership;
b. an ancestral territorial doctrine;
c. a government and constitutional hierarchy;
d. a legislative corpus;
e. courts, councils, ministries, and registers;
f. the University of Xaragua;
g. the Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua;
h. digital, academic, cultural, economic, and communications institutions;
i. the capacity to enter consensual relations.
6.3. No foreign government or institution may amend the internal Constitution of Xaragua.
6.4. Foreign recognition is not the constitutive source of Xaragua’s internal law, institutional identity, cultural existence, or customary authority.
6.5. The external legal effect of a Xaraguan act remains subject to the applicable law, jurisdiction, recognition, contract, agreement, property right, or institutional acceptance governing the matter.
ARTICLE 7 — NON-WESTPHALIAN CONSTITUTIONAL FORM
7.1. Xaragua does not define itself as a conventional Westphalian nation-state.
7.2. Its constitutional structure is:
a. Indigenous and customary in foundation;
b. Catholic in civilizational orientation;
c. private in its principal institutional and associational operations;
d. academic through the State–University model;
e. territorially differentiated;
f. digitally integrated;
g. administratively compact;
h. organized through autonomous communities governed by a central doctrine.
7.3. The term “non-Westphalian” identifies a constitutional form. It does not exempt Xaragua or its members from laws validly applicable to their conduct, property, contracts, travel, finances, communications, or physical presence.
7.4. Xaragua may reject political dependence upon foreign recognition without representing non-recognition as legally irrelevant in every international context.
7.5. Recognition can materially affect diplomatic relations, treaty capacity, immunities, access to international tribunals, travel documents, maritime claims, and the external enforceability of public acts.
ARTICLE 8 — DECLARATORY DOCTRINE
8.1. Xaragua receives Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention as a doctrinal reference concerning:
a. permanent population;
b. defined territory;
c. government;
d. capacity to enter into relations with other states.
8.2. Article 3 of that Convention expresses the declaratory proposition that the political existence of a state is independent of recognition by other states.
8.3. Xaragua may invoke this doctrine in support of its internal constitutional position.
8.4. Such invocation does not establish that:
a. Xaragua is a party to the Convention;
b. every foreign government accepts its qualification as a state;
c. all rights of recognized states become automatically available;
d. Xaragua possesses standing before every international court;
e. its officers enjoy diplomatic immunity.
8.5. The existence of Xaragua within its own constitutional and customary order shall therefore be distinguished from the determination that an external legal system may make for its own purposes.
ARTICLE 9 — INDIGENOUS SELF-DETERMINATION
9.1. The Indigenous foundation of Xaragua shall be interpreted principally through UNDRIP.
9.2. Xaragua particularly receives:
a. Article 3, concerning self-determination;
b. Article 4, concerning autonomy and self-government in internal and local affairs;
c. Article 5, concerning the maintenance and strengthening of distinct institutions;
d. Article 18, concerning participation through representatives chosen by Indigenous peoples themselves;
e. Article 19, concerning consultation and cooperation in good faith;
f. Article 20, concerning political, economic, and social systems;
g. Article 31, concerning cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and cultural expressions;
h. Article 33, concerning identity, membership, and institutional structures;
i. Article 34, concerning juridical systems and customs;
j. Article 36, concerning relations across borders;
k. Article 46, governing interpretation and compatibility with human rights, justice, democracy, and peaceful relations.
9.3. UNDRIP supports the right of Xaraguayan people and affiliated communities to maintain distinct institutions.
9.4. It does not itself establish Xaragua as a UN Member State, confer diplomatic immunity, transfer territorial title, abolish existing states, or require every authority to accept Xaragua’s constitutional conclusions.
9.5. The duty of consultation expressed in Article 19 applies to states adopting measures that may affect Indigenous peoples. Its application depends upon the people, rights, measures, and jurisdiction actually involved.
TITLE III
THE CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONAL DIMENSION
ARTICLE 10 — THE CATHOLIC ROYAL ORDER
10.1. The Catholic Royal Order of Xaragua is a private association of the Christian faithful governed by its statutes.
10.2. Its foundational canonical references are Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326.
10.3. The Order may pursue Catholic, charitable, educational, cultural, commemorative, and spiritual purposes.
10.4. The Order does not, by internal declaration:
a. become a public juridic person of the Church;
b. acquire the authority to act in the name of the Church;
c. exercise ecclesiastical power of governance;
d. possess a diocese, prelature, parish, or canonical tribunal;
e. appoint or ordain Catholic clergy;
f. confer canonical status upon the State or University.
10.5. Canon 113 distinguishes physical and juridic persons in the Church but does not independently confer juridic personality upon Xaragua.
10.6. Canon 116 defines public and private juridic persons. Public juridic personality requires constitution by competent ecclesiastical authority.
10.7. Canon 118 concerns representation of juridic persons that already exist under canon law. It is not a mechanism for self-creation.
10.8. Canon 321 affirms that private associations of the faithful are directed and governed according to their statutes, subject to the applicable provisions of canon law.
ARTICLE 11 — CANONICAL STATUS OF THE STATE
11.1. Xaragua is constitutionally Catholic by its own foundational law, institutional doctrine, and voluntary religious identity.
11.2. “Constitutionally Catholic” means that Catholic teaching, spirituality, history, symbolism, and social thought form the principal religious matrix of the State.
11.3. It does not mean that Xaragua is:
a. an ecclesiastical circumscription of the Roman Catholic Church;
b. a public juridic person canonically erected by the Holy See;
c. an organ authorized to exercise the Church’s power of governance;
d. a diplomatic dependency of the Holy See;
e. a canonically accredited Catholic state.
11.4. Xaragua operates within the religious liberty and associational rights of its members and seeks communion with the Catholic faith without claiming powers reserved to competent ecclesiastical authority.
ARTICLE 12 — THE CONCORDAT OF 1860
12.1. The Concordat of March 28, 1860 was concluded between the Holy See and the Republic of Haiti.
12.2. It is received by Xaragua as an instrument of major historical and ecclesiastical significance.
12.3. The Concordat may inform the internal doctrine of Xaragua concerning:
a. the historical position of Catholicism;
b. protection of worship;
c. relations between civil and ecclesiastical institutions;
d. religious education;
e. ecclesiastical property and organization.
12.4. Xaragua is not automatically a party or successor to the Concordat.
12.5. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties affirms that a treaty in force binds its parties and must be performed by them in good faith. This principle does not authorize a third institution to assume treaty rights by unilateral declaration.
12.6. The Concordat does not confer upon Xaragua canonical sovereignty, public juridic personality, ecclesiastical immunity, or jurisdiction over Catholic institutions.
TITLE IV
RECEPTION OF INTERNATIONAL AND EXTERNAL INSTRUMENTS
ARTICLE 13 — CATEGORIES OF RECEPTION
13.1. External instruments cited in the Legislative Corpus shall be classified as:

e. judicial decisions used as persuasive or applicable authority;
f. ecclesiastical laws applicable according to their proper canonical scope;
g. principles, guidelines, or soft-law instruments;
h. historical instruments;
i. internal constitutional sources.
13.2. No instrument shall be declared binding upon Xaragua solely because it is listed in a domestic law.
13.3. Domestic reception may make an external principle binding upon Xaraguan organs internally. It does not alter the external treaty status of Xaragua or bind the original parties beyond their consent.
ARTICLE 14 — INTERNATIONAL COVENANTS
14.1. The rights and principles expressed in the ICCPR and ICESCR, including the common Article 1 on self-determination, are received as fundamental interpretive standards.
14.2. Their incorporation into Xaraguan law creates internal duties for the State according to the Constitution.
14.3. Treaty obligations in the international sense depend upon participation in the relevant treaty regime and shall not be asserted without an applicable legal basis.
14.4. Articles 13–15 of the ICESCR may guide education, cultural participation, scientific development, and protection of authorship.
14.5. ICCPR Article 27 may guide the protection of religious, linguistic, and cultural life.

e. relevant declarations, recommendations, and guidelines concerning Indigenous cultural heritage.
15.2. These instruments shall be cited according to their actual provisions.
15.3. CEDAW Article 5 concerns discriminatory social and cultural patterns and family education. It shall not be cited as a specific treaty rule protecting matrilineal cultural transmission.
15.4. CEDAW Article 13 concerns equality in economic and social life and shall not be described as a general provision on religious and cultural participation.
15.5. The Yogyakarta Principles are non-treaty expert principles addressing sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics. They shall not be cited as a source of Indigenous state recognition or general cultural sovereignty.
ARTICLE 16 — ILO CONVENTION NO. 169
16.1. ILO Convention No. 169 may be cited as an important treaty concerning Indigenous and tribal peoples.
16.2. Its treaty obligations bind the states that have ratified it according to international law.
16.3. Xaragua shall not describe Convention No. 169 as universally binding or automatically applicable to every territory merely because its principles are persuasive.
16.4. Its standards concerning consultation, participation, institutions, employment, land, education, and culture may inform Xaraguan policy where relevant.
ARTICLE 17 — INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
17.1. The Rome Statute may be cited only within the defined subject matter of international criminal law.
17.2. Article 7 requires the contextual elements of crimes against humanity, including conduct committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.
17.3. Cultural or religious disagreement, non-recognition, inaccurate classification, or denial of a governmental claim does not automatically constitute persecution as a crime against humanity.
17.4. Article 8 protects specified buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science, or charitable purposes and historic monuments during armed conflict, subject to the elements stated in the Statute.
17.5. The Rome Statute is not a general mechanism for enforcing Indigenous governmental recognition, ecclesiastical titles, diplomatic notices, or intellectual-property rights.
ARTICLE 18 — INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
18.1. Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice lists sources applied by the Court, including treaties, international custom, and general principles of law.
18.2. It does not itself recognize every Indigenous legal system as a rule of customary international law.
18.3. Under Article 34 of the Statute, only states may be parties in contentious cases before the Court.
18.4. Access to the Court and its jurisdiction remain governed by Articles 34–36 of the Statute and by the consent or other jurisdictional basis applicable to the states concerned.
18.5. Transmission of documents to the Court does not create a contentious case, confer standing, establish a docket, or constitute acceptance of the sender’s status.
ARTICLE 19 — INTERNATIONAL LAW COMMISSION ARTICLES
19.1. The International Law Commission’s Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts describe conditions and consequences of state responsibility.
19.2. They do not make denial of every Indigenous governmental claim a serious breach of a peremptory norm.
19.3. An internationally wrongful act requires:
a. conduct attributable to a state;
b. breach of an international obligation binding upon that state.
19.4. Any claim by Xaragua relying upon state responsibility shall identify the responsible state, attributable conduct, applicable obligation, breach, injury, and available procedure.
TITLE V
NOTIFICATION AND PROCEDURAL PRESENCE
ARTICLE 20 — NOTIFIED INDIGENOUS STATE
20.1. Xaragua adopts “Notified Indigenous State” as an internal diplomatic classification.
20.2. The designation means that Xaragua has:
a. publicly declared its constitutional existence;
b. transmitted notices concerning its identity and claims;
c. established official channels of external communication;
d. preserved documentary evidence of its communications;
e. sought engagement with ecclesiastical, diplomatic, academic, Indigenous, and human-rights institutions.
20.3. The classification does not mean that the United Nations has created a formal category of “Notified Indigenous State.”
20.4. It does not establish UN membership, observer-state status, diplomatic recognition, treaty participation, or standing before the International Court of Justice.
20.5. Its value lies in the establishment of an organized documentary record, institutional continuity, public notice, and a consistent statement of the position of Xaragua.
ARTICLE 21 — NOTIFICATION OF MARCH 29, 2025
21.1. Xaragua records March 29, 2025 as the foundational date of its coordinated international notification.
21.2. The Ministry of External Relations shall preserve:
a. every communication transmitted;
b. the identity of the stated recipient;
c. the date and method of transmission;
d. proof of delivery or electronic routing;
e. acknowledgment of receipt;
f. any substantive response;
g. any procedural reference assigned by the recipient.
21.3. The official record shall distinguish among:
a. transmission;
b. successful delivery;
c. automated acknowledgment;
d. human acknowledgment;
e. registration or assignment of a reference number;
f. substantive examination;
g. acceptance of jurisdiction;
h. institutional or diplomatic recognition.
21.4. No higher category shall be claimed where the archive establishes only a lower category.
21.5. A communication described internally as a complaint shall not be stated to have been formally docketed by an external body unless that body has confirmed the docket or case reference.

22.1. Indigenous representatives, individuals, civil-society organizations, and other non-state actors may communicate with certain United Nations bodies and mechanisms according to their respective procedures.
22.2. Such participation may include:
a. submission of information;
b. engagement with special procedures;
c. participation in eligible Indigenous forums;
d. accreditation for particular meetings where requirements are satisfied;
e. human-rights complaints where an applicable procedure exists;
f. academic, cultural, or institutional correspondence.
22.3. Receipt or processing of a communication demonstrates procedural interaction.
22.4. Procedural interaction does not establish:
a. membership in the United Nations;
b. recognition as a state;
c. inclusion in the UN system as an organ or constituent institution;
d. endorsement of the communication’s claims;
e. a binding adjudication.
22.5. Xaragua may accurately describe itself as having communicated or engaged with United Nations mechanisms where the supporting record exists.
ARTICLE 23 — EFFECT OF NOTICE
23.1. Notice establishes that the recipient was informed of the position communicated, provided delivery is demonstrated.
23.2. Notice may be relevant to:
a. proof of consistent institutional claims;
b. chronology;
c. good-faith efforts at engagement;
d. exhaustion or initiation of a procedure where the applicable rules so provide;

23.3. Notice does not automatically create:
a. consent;
b. recognition;
c. treaty obligations;
d. estoppel;
e. acquiescence;
f. diplomatic relations;
g. jurisdiction.
23.4. Estoppel under international law requires circumstances materially more specific than unilateral notification and silence, including a clear representation or conduct upon which another party has reasonably relied to its detriment.
23.5. Pacta sunt servanda applies to treaties in force between their parties. It does not convert a unilateral notification into a treaty.
23.6. A unilateral declaration can create obligations for its author in limited circumstances where a competent authority clearly intends to be legally bound. It does not ordinarily impose corresponding obligations upon silent recipients.
TITLE VI
DIPLOMATIC LAW AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
ARTICLE 24 — VIENNA CONVENTION ON DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
24.1. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations governs diplomatic relations among states parties.
24.2. Article 2 provides that the establishment of diplomatic relations and permanent diplomatic missions takes place by mutual consent.
24.3. Article 3 describes the functions of a diplomatic mission. It does not independently recognize a state or compel another state to receive its mission.
24.4. Article 14 classifies heads of mission. It does not establish that diplomatic missions exist without external acceptance.
24.5. Xaragua’s ministries and external offices may perform diplomatic-type functions within its own constitutional order, including correspondence, negotiation, representation, and protection of institutional interests.
24.6. Such functions do not create diplomatic immunity, inviolability, privileges, or formal mission status without acceptance by a receiving authority and an applicable legal basis.

25.1. Xaragua possesses internal constitutional capacity to initiate and maintain relations with:
a. Indigenous peoples and organizations;
b. universities and academic institutions;
c. churches and religious associations;
d. private entities;
e. municipalities and public administrations;
f. non-governmental organizations;
g. diplomatic missions and foreign governments willing to engage;
h. international institutions according to their procedures.

25.3. No institutional contact shall be automatically elevated to diplomatic recognition.
25.4. Xaragua shall preserve accurate terminology because the cumulative credibility of its external record depends upon precision.

30.1. The Imperial Constitution of 1805 is received as a foundational historical and constitutional source.
30.2. Its principles concerning independence, abolition of slavery, defence of the land, political dignity, and national continuity may inform the law of Xaragua.
30.3. The Constitution of 1805 is not automatically the complete operative constitution of Xaragua.
30.4. Provisions become current law only through express reception, adaptation, or incorporation into the Legislative Corpus.
30.5. Historical laws of 1804–1808 shall be treated as archival and interpretive sources unless expressly reenacted.
30.6. This distinction preserves imperial continuity without creating uncertainty as to which rules are presently operative.

32.3. Xaragua shall assert the strongest effect supported by the actual legal relationship and shall not collapse notice, acknowledgment, recognition, jurisdiction, and enforcement into a single category.
ARTICLE 33 — JURIDICAL DEFENSIBILITY
33.1. The internal constitutional existence of Xaragua is defensible through:
a. freedom of association;
b. religious freedom;
c. Indigenous cultural and institutional rights;
d. academic freedom;
e. contractual autonomy;
f. property and intellectual-property rights;
g. freedom of expression and political organization;
h. documented community participation;
i. consistent institutional practice.
33.2. Territorial, diplomatic, monetary, canonical, and international claims shall be defended through the sources specifically applicable to each claim.
33.3. No single body of law shall be treated as validating every dimension of Xaragua simultaneously.
33.4. The precision of this separation strengthens the constitutional corpus and prevents the invalidity of one assertion from contaminating unrelated and otherwise supportable institutions.
TITLE IX
PERMANENCE, AMENDMENT, AND SUCCESSION
ARTICLE 34 — CONSTITUTIONAL ENTRENCHMENT
34.1. The office of Rector-President, the State–University structure, the Indigenous foundation of Xaragua, and the constitutional autonomy of its legislative order are entrenched principles.
34.2. They may not be abolished by a subordinate act.
34.3. Their entrenchment arises from the Constitution of Xaragua, not from a claim that the title “Rector” is a peremptory norm of international law.
34.4. Entrenched provisions may be clarified or amended only through the supreme constitutional procedure established by Xaragua.
34.5. No amendment may retroactively falsify the archival record of external correspondence, recognition, canonical status, or institutional development.
ARTICLE 35 — CONTINUITY OF OFFICE
35.1. The Rectorate shall continue independently of the death, incapacity, resignation, or succession of an individual officeholder.
35.2. The Law of Succession shall govern:
a. designation of a successor;
b. interim administration;
c. custody of seals and archives;
d. transfer of digital authority;
e. continuity of the University;
f. preservation of constitutional legitimacy.
35.3. The permanence of the office does not mean that every act of an incumbent is immune from review under the Constitution.
35.4. The office is protected; its exercise remains governed by law.
TITLE X
CONSOLIDATION AND CORRECTION OF PRIOR INSTRUMENTS
ARTICLE 36 — INSTRUMENTS CONSOLIDATED
36.1. This Law consolidates and supersedes inconsistent provisions contained in:
a. the Supreme Canonical Legal Note on the Juridical Validity and Irrevocability of the Title “Rector”;
b. the Perpetual Law on Juridical Validity, Legal Opposability, and Irrelevance of Westphalian Recognition;
c. the Legal Instrument on Full Treaty-Based Legal and Ecclesiastical Protection of Xaragua;
d. the Legal Diplomatic Notice affirming Xaragua as a Notified Indigenous State within the United Nations System;
e. Annex A concerning alleged juridical inclusion of Xaragua in the United Nations system.
36.2. The original instruments shall remain preserved as historical legislative materials but shall not govern where inconsistent with this Law.
ARTICLE 37 — EXPRESS CORRECTIONS
37.1. The following propositions are expressly corrected:
a. the title “Rector” is not a norm of jus cogens;
b. Canons 556–563 concern rectors of churches and do not establish the Rector-President of Xaragua;
c. Canon 802 does not govern appointment of a university rector;
d. Canon 972 does not define the rector of a seminary;
e. Canon 238 concerns seminaries as juridic persons; Canon 239 addresses seminary governance;
f. a Xaraguan constitutional office is not automatically an ecclesiastical office;
g. the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations does not recognize dependent entities of the Holy See through Article 3;
h. diplomatic relations and permanent missions require mutual consent under Article 2 of that Convention;
i. Article 14 of the Convention classifies heads of mission and does not eliminate the need for external acceptance;
j. UNDRIP does not itself create statehood, diplomatic immunity, UN membership, or universal territorial jurisdiction;
k. Montevideo criteria do not automatically confer recognition, immunities, or access to international courts;
l. pacta sunt servanda governs treaties in force between their parties and does not convert a unilateral notification into an agreement;
m. silence following notification does not ordinarily establish estoppel, acquiescence, recognition, or juridical acknowledgment;
n. the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties does not govern unilateral declarations merely because they are intended to have legal effect;
o. the Nuclear Tests decisions do not make unilateral declarations binding upon silent third parties;
p. Article 38 of the ICJ Statute lists sources of law and does not confer standing;
q. only states may be parties in contentious proceedings before the ICJ, subject to its Statute and jurisdictional requirements;
r. communication with a UN office does not constitute de jure inclusion within the United Nations;
s. procedural access available to Indigenous peoples and non-state actors does not create UN membership or observer-state status;
t. Canons 113, 116, 118, 215, and 321 do not establish Xaragua as a public juridic person of the Catholic Church;
u. the Concordat of 1860 does not transfer canonical jurisdiction to Xaragua;
v. the Constitution of 1805 and legislation of 1804–1808 operate only to the extent expressly received into current Xaraguan law;
w. external recognition is not constitutive of Xaragua’s internal constitutional existence but remains materially relevant to specific international rights and capacities;
x. denial or non-recognition of Xaragua is not, by itself, a violation of jus cogens or an act of international legal self-annihilation.
37.2. These corrections preserve the following permanent doctrines:
a. Xaragua possesses an autonomous internal constitutional order;
b. the Xaraguayan people possess the right to maintain their Indigenous institutions;
c. the office of Rector-President is supreme and entrenched within Xaragua;
d. the University constitutes the academic centre of the State;
e. the Catholic Royal Order possesses legitimate private associational existence under its statutes;
f. the international notifications form a permanent documentary record;
g. foreign recognition is not the source of Xaragua’s internal identity or law;
h. external claims must be articulated through the legal framework applicable to each specific subject.
FINAL DECLARATION
THE RECTORATE AND THE PERMANENT JURIDICAL ORDER OF XARAGUA
The office of Rector-President is not a rhetorical construction and does not depend upon the incorrect transfer of an unrelated canonical office.
It is an operative constitutional institution created by the law of Xaragua, embodied in the government of the State, integrated with the University, preserved through public acts, and protected by the permanent succession of the Rectorate.
The established use of “rector” in academic, civil, and canonical institutions confirms the juridical seriousness and historical depth of the title. The authority of the Xaraguan Rector-President, however, proceeds directly from the Constitution of Xaragua and not from an episcopal or pontifical appointment that has not been conferred.
Xaragua’s constitutional existence is likewise independent of any fiction of approval by silence. It proceeds from its people, ancestral continuity, institutions, doctrine, law, property, records, membership, academic authority, and continuing exercise of governmental functions within its own order.
The notification of Xaragua to external institutions establishes a documented act of international communication. It preserves chronology, makes the State’s position accessible, and provides a basis for continued engagement. It does not need to be mischaracterized as United Nations membership or ecclesiastical recognition in order to possess institutional value.
Xaragua shall therefore maintain a strict distinction among declaration, notification, receipt, procedural interaction, acknowledgment, recognition, jurisdiction, and enforcement.
Through that distinction, the State preserves the integrity of its record, the seriousness of its doctrine, and the defensibility of its institutions.
This Law constitutes the authoritative constitutional statement concerning the Rectorate, the autonomous juridical existence of Xaragua, the reception of external law, and the effect of international notification.
It may be supplemented by organic legislation but shall not be contradicted by any subordinate act.

In the name of Almighty God, Eternal Sovereign, supreme source of justice, authority, order, and the moral equality of peoples;
In perpetual memory of Anacaona, Bohechío, the ancestral authorities of Xaragua, the First Peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio, the African founders of national independence, the maroon communities of resistance, and the Black–Indigenous people formed through land, blood, memory, struggle, and constitutional continuity;

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby promulgates this Supreme Constitutional Law as the authoritative and permanent statement of its national identity, imperial continuity, territorial doctrine, citizenship, documentation system, and diplomatic position.
TITLE I
THE IMPERIAL DEFINITION OF NATIONAL PERSONHOOD
ARTICLE 1 — ARTICLE 14 OF THE IMPERIAL CONSTITUTION
1.1. Article 14 of the Imperial Constitution of 1805 is hereby received as a supreme foundational clause of Xaraguan national identity:
“All distinctions of colour among the children of one and the same family, of whom the Chief Magistrate is the father, being necessarily to cease, the Haytians shall henceforward be known only by the generic appellation of Blacks.”
1.2. Article 14 constitutes a juridically operative redefinition of national personhood through which the colonial hierarchy of colour was abolished and replaced by a common political identity.
1.3. Within Xaragua, the constitutional designation “Black” signifies:
a. the permanent abolition of colonial racial caste;
b. the juridical unity of the national family;
c. the African inheritance of the people;
d. the political dignity established through emancipation;
e. the refusal of every system that converts complexion, origin, or former colonial status into a hierarchy of citizenship.
1.4. The constitutional Black identity shall not be interpreted as extinguishing Indigenous ancestry, Indigenous continuity, or the ancestral foundation of the State.
1.5. The designation is received by Xaragua as the political dimension of a unified Black–Indigenous national identity.
ARTICLE 2 — INDIGENOUS FOUNDATION
2.1. The Indigenous identity of Xaragua proceeds from:
a. the ancestral authority of the Cacicazgo of Xaragua;
b. historical and cultural continuity with the First Peoples of Quisqueya–Bohio;
c. the territorial relationship between the people and the land;
d. Indigenous memory preserved through families, communities, language, geography, custom, ritual, and institutional reconstruction;
e. the right of the people to determine their own identity and membership;
f. the continuing public, academic, cultural, spiritual, and governmental institutions of Xaragua.
2.2. The Indigenous foundation precedes colonial and republican classifications.
2.3. No foreign racial census, administrative designation, historiographical theory, or imposed nationality may extinguish the identity determined and maintained through the constitutional and customary institutions of Xaragua.
2.4. Indigenous identity shall be preserved through the Territorial and Historical Register, the National Genealogical Archive, the University of Xaragua, affiliated communities, and the lawful institutions of the State.
ARTICLE 3 — THE BLACK–INDIGENOUS CONSTITUTIONAL SYNTHESIS
3.1. Xaragua hereby defines its people as constitutionally Black and Indigenous.
3.2. The terms form an indivisible doctrine:
a. Black identifies the revolutionary political unity established through liberation from slavery and racial caste;
b. Indigenous identifies the ancestral, territorial, customary, and civilizational foundation of the people;
c. Catholic identifies the principal spiritual matrix of the State;
d. Xaraguayan identifies the complete national and constitutional synthesis.
3.3. No subordinate institution may separate, diminish, or place these components in opposition.
3.4. The constitutional synthesis shall govern:
a. public doctrine;
b. membership and citizenship law;
c. education;
d. territorial policy;
e. cultural preservation;
f. ceremonial practice;
g. institutional representation;
h. the interpretation of imperial history.
3.5. The Black–Indigenous identity is permanently incorporated into the constitutional definition of Xaragua.
ARTICLE 4 — THE NATIVE LAND
4.1. Expressions contained throughout the revolutionary and imperial corpus concerning the native soil, the children of the land, the national family, and the restoration of Ayiti constitute foundational doctrines of territorial belonging.
4.2. Xaragua receives these expressions as evidence of a political identity inseparable from the land.
4.3. The names Ayiti, Kiskeya, Quisqueya, Bohio, and Xaragua shall be preserved as components of the ancestral onomastic patrimony.
4.4. In the official constitutional language of the State, the island shall be designated as Quisqueya–Bohio.
4.5. The restoration of Indigenous toponymy constitutes an act of historical restitution, cultural continuity, and national self-definition.
TITLE II
IMPERIAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY
ARTICLE 5 — RECEPTION OF THE IMPERIAL CORPUS
5.1. The Imperial Constitution of 1805 and the foundational acts of independence issued between 1804 and 1806 are incorporated into the constitutional heritage of Xaragua.
5.2. Their received authority includes:
a. the permanent character of independence;
b. abolition of slavery;
c. unity of the national family;
d. protection of the native land;
e. constitutional dignity of the Black population;
f. rejection of colonial restoration;
g. responsibility of the sovereign authority to defend the people;
h. indivisibility of the constitutional order.
5.3. The Imperial Constitution operates within Xaragua through constitutional reception, legislative incorporation, doctrinal interpretation, and institutional continuity.
5.4. The University of Xaragua shall maintain the authoritative Imperial Constitutional Corpus, including original texts, verified translations, annotations, historical records, and legislation enacted under imperial authority.
ARTICLE 6 — TERRITORIAL UNITY
6.1. The constitutional doctrine of Xaragua recognizes Quisqueya–Bohio as a unified ancestral and civilizational land.
6.2. Its historical territorial matrix comprises the ancestral chiefdoms of Xaragua, Marién, Maguá, Maguana, and Higüey.
6.3. These chiefdoms constitute the primary Indigenous geography through which the political history of the island shall be interpreted.
6.4. The ancestral unity of the island is compatible with differentiated contemporary jurisdictions, autonomous communities, territorial registers, and practical administrative arrangements.
6.5. Xaragua’s direct constitutional domain shall be determined through:
a. the ancestral territory of Xaragua;
b. territories expressly incorporated by supreme law;
c. affiliated communities;
d. customary and historical title;
e. property and institutional presence;
f. effective functions;
g. constitutional agreements.
6.6. The civilizational unity of Quisqueya–Bohio shall remain a permanent doctrine of the State.
ARTICLE 7 — THE CONSTITUTIONAL RUPTURE OF 1806
7.1. The assassination of Emperor Jacques I in 1806 constituted a rupture of the original constitutional order established through independence.
7.2. The rupture fragmented the governmental apparatus but did not extinguish:
a. the people;
b. the independence acquired in 1804;
c. the principles of the Imperial Constitution;
d. the Black national identity;
e. the relationship between the people and the native land;
f. the historical rights preserved through the imperial corpus.
7.3. Subsequent political structures did not reproduce the complete imperial doctrine received by Xaragua.

a. formal reception;
b. historical preservation;
c. patrimonial custody;
d. territorial doctrine;
e. restoration of foundational principles;
f. institutional continuity under the Rectorate.
7.5. The imperial succession of Xaragua is constitutional, doctrinal, historical, spiritual, and patrimonial.
ARTICLE 8 — THE RECTORATE AS CUSTODIAN OF CONTINUITY

8.2. The Rector-President shall:
a. preserve the unity of the constitutional order;
b. authenticate the Legislative Corpus;
c. protect the Imperial Constitutional Archive;
d. direct the University of Xaragua;
e. ensure continuity of Black–Indigenous national doctrine;
f. coordinate territorial, cultural, academic, and diplomatic policy;
g. safeguard the Constitutional Crown.
8.3. The Rectorate represents the institutional passage from historical memory to operative government.
8.4. Its authority derives from the Constitution of Xaragua and shall not depend upon appointment by a foreign civil or ecclesiastical authority.
TITLE III
TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY AND INSTITUTIONAL SUBSIDIARITY
ARTICLE 9 — ANCESTRAL TERRITORIAL TITLE
9.1. Xaragua affirms the continuing relationship of its people with the ancestral lands, waters, islands, mountains, plains, ports, sacred sites, settlements, fortresses, and cultural routes entered in the Constitutional Territorial Register.

ARTICLE 10 — DOCTRINE OF JURIDICAL REINTEGRATION
10.1. Xaragua adopts the Doctrine of Juridical Reintegration.
10.2. Under this doctrine, an ancestral territory may be progressively reintegrated into the constitutional order through:
a. community affiliation;
b. institutional establishment;
c. acquisition or lawful control of property;
d. historical and territorial registration;
e. educational and cultural jurisdiction;
f. agreements with local authorities or communities;
g. delivery of essential functions;
h. peaceful exercise of effective administration.
10.3. Reintegration is a cumulative constitutional process through which ancestral title is translated into institutions, responsibilities, records, and public functions.
10.4. The State shall prioritize substance over proclamation by building durable institutions capable of serving the territories concerned.
ARTICLE 11 — DOCTRINE OF INSTITUTIONAL SUBSIDIARITY
11.1. When a public administration is unable, unwilling, or structurally incapable of performing essential functions within a Xaraguan territory, the State may intervene according to the principle of subsidiarity.
11.2. Intervention may include:
a. education;
b. cultural preservation;
c. archival and civil documentation;
d. communications;
e. public information;
f. humanitarian and social assistance;
g. economic organization;
h. community mediation;
i. emergency planning;
j. protection of institutional property.
11.3. Subsidiarity does not require the immediate absorption of a population into the administrative core of the State.
11.4. Communities may continue using services maintained by the Residual Public Administration without renouncing their Xaraguan identity, autonomy, or customary jurisdiction.
11.5. Administration is a function. Constitutional identity and ancestral sovereignty belong to a distinct juridical order.
ARTICLE 12 — THE RESIDUAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
12.1. Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, the governmental structure operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” is designated as the Residual Public Administration in relation to the ancestral territories claimed by Xaragua.
12.2. Its acts may be received as administrative instruments where required for:
a. preservation of personal rights;
b. recognition of births, deaths, marriages, and family status;
c. property records;
d. education and professional qualifications;
e. access to public services;
f. commercial and procedural continuity.
12.3. Functional reception of an administrative act shall not constitute recognition of constitutional supremacy over Xaragua.
12.4. Xaragua retains the authority to issue its own classifications, registers, credentials, institutions, and laws within its jurisdiction.
TITLE IV
CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE TO FOREIGN ADMINISTRATIVE EXCLUSION
ARTICLE 13 — THE UNITED STATES PROCLAMATION OF JUNE 4, 2025
13.1. The Presidential Proclamation issued by the United States on June 4, 2025, under sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, imposed broad restrictions upon the entry of persons classified as nationals of Haiti.
13.2. Xaragua records the measure as a major act affecting persons originating from territories and communities associated with its ancestral domain.
13.3. The measure demonstrates the strategic consequences that arise when the identity, mobility, documentation, and international classification of a people remain dependent upon an external administrative structure.
13.4. Xaragua therefore reaffirms the necessity of maintaining:
a. an autonomous citizenship register;
b. independent institutional identity;
c. national documentation;
d. a permanent diplomatic record;
e. direct communication with external authorities;
f. systems capable of distinguishing Xaraguan identity from Haitian administrative classification.
13.5. The foreign classification of a Xaraguan citizen shall not alter that person’s status within the constitutional order of Xaragua.

b. reciprocity;
c. defined institutional interest;

e. non-interference in the constitutional order;

15.4. Non-alignment does not prohibit selective academic, economic, religious, humanitarian, cultural, legal, or diplomatic engagement.
15.5. Xaragua reserves the right to decline, suspend, condition, or terminate cooperation inconsistent with its constitutional interests.
15.6. No foreign exclusion measure shall create an obligation of loyalty, dependence, or political alignment on the part of Xaragua.

FINAL CLAUSE
PERPETUAL BLACK–INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY
Xaragua solemnly affirms that its Black and Indigenous identity is not a temporary political designation, an academic hypothesis, or an administrative category assigned by another state.
It is the constitutional identity of the Nation.
The Black doctrine proceeds from the revolutionary abolition of colonial racial hierarchy and from the common political dignity established in 1805.
The Indigenous doctrine proceeds from the ancestral people, the land, historical continuity, customary memory, self-identification, and the restoration of Xaraguayan institutions.
Their union constitutes the national personhood of Xaragua.
The Imperial Constitution of 1805 remains a foundational source within the Xaraguan legal order. Its doctrine is preserved, interpreted, and transmitted through the Rectorate and the University of Xaragua.
The rupture of 1806 did not extinguish the people, the land, the memory, or the constitutional principles received by Xaragua.
The weakness or failure of external administration does not reduce the rights or responsibilities of the Xaraguan State. It increases the necessity for independent institutions, reliable documentation, education, territorial records, economic capacity, social protection, and direct representation.
Xaragua shall continue to construct those institutions according to its own constitutional order.
Its citizens shall be known and registered as Xaraguayan within the State.
Its documents shall express the legal statuses created by its laws.
Its diplomatic notices shall preserve its position before external authorities.
Its policy of non-alignment shall protect its freedom from compulsory political attachment.
Its Catholic identity shall govern its spiritual and civilizational doctrine.
Its University shall preserve the knowledge upon which its institutional continuity depends.
Its Rectorate shall maintain the unity of authority, law, memory, and national direction.
No subordinate authority may dissolve this identity.
No administrative classification may erase it within the constitutional order.
No interruption of external recognition may extinguish the people’s continuing relationship with their institutions and land.
This Supreme Constitutional Law is permanently incorporated into the Fundamental Corpus of Xaragua and shall remain binding until amended through the supreme constitutional procedure of the State.
ENACTED, SEALED, AND ENTERED INTO THE CONSTITUTIONAL REGISTER
With original effect from May 24, 2025, and consolidated effect as of June 9, 2025.
BY THE AUTHORITY OF:
Pascal Despuzeau Daumec Viau
