#DecolonizeTheLaw

Conflicts and disputes which cannot otherwise be settled should be submitted to competent international bodies agreed to by all parties concerned:

• 1) The US Army Corps of Engineers is not a competent international body.
  
  
• 2) The US Congress is not a competent international body.
  
  
• 3) The US Department of Justice, including all branches of law enforcement, is not a competent international body.
  
  
• 4) The executive office of the US President is not an international body.
  
  
• 5) The State of Minnesota is not a competent international body.
  
  
• 6) The United Nations is an international body, but the UN system lacks the competence to address the Indigenous Treaty issues, disputes, and conflicts which are now being made known once again to the international community at the #TreatyPeoplesAction to #StopEnbridgeLine3 in Minnesota.

The United Nations system is an extrapolation of the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) which established the dominion concept of state sovereignty as the fundamental principle of contemporary "international" law. The UN system did not and has not integrated the Nationhood of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples in the spirit of mutual recognition, respect and the international treaty relationships which is the core issue still unresolved since the Wounded Knee Chiefs first went to the UN in 1973.

Architectures of the States and the Territorial Integrity of Mother Earth

Although Dr. Miguel Alfonso Martinez completed a UN Treaty Study in 1999, the Treaties themselves (such as the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty) are still not acknowledged or recognized within the UN system as integral to the body of International Law that sets the parameters of all international relations among  the states and  Nations of Indigenous Peoples.

 

Just as in '73, unless this situation is corrected, there will be no substantive change in the policies of discrimination,  colonization, and genocide  which characterize the  criminal history of the states in relation to the Human Rights, Self Determination and  Nationhood of the Original Nations of the Great Turtle Island Abya Yala.
