Subject: Affirmation of Rights - Name Change - Update Regarding the De Jure Hawaiian Nation and Government

Aloha Honorable Ministers,
With respect to the "Rule of Law" I serve this 'INTERNATIONAL NOTICE' affirming my lawful status as a Stateless "World Citizen." And I hereby declare; My absolute commitment to protect & defend all human rights "by any means necessary."

Hastily,& yet strategically, I withdrew from my homeland paradise of Hawaii because of mounting injuries to myself by United States Agents. While battling for my human rights and fighting for the rights of the Hawaiian Nation I was becoming gradually neutralized with increasingly hostile actions coming from the US; including unlawful 'Bench Warrants' being issued for my arrest (attached). I did not leave Hawaii in order to hide; I did not leave Hawaii due to fear. However, Hawaii is undoubtedly under the unlawful control of the US Government & Military which is intent on destroying forever the Hawaiian Nation; furthering the "New World Order" of total global domination. Knowing this, I declared my allegiance to the Hawaiian Nation in defiance of the US. Additionally, I attacked the US by charging them with "conspiracy to commit fraud and genocide" against the Hawaiian Nation, and I backed it up with the historical/contemporary facts. I was well on my way to prison with the most likely (false) charges of; 'Seditious Conspiracy,' 'Conspiracy to Commit Terrorist Acts,' or easily arranged drug charges. Indeed my last year offered a constant threat of false imprisonment especially after 9-11 & the 'Patriot Act.' I realized that prison could virtually negate my ability to confront and resist global injustice; becoming just another victim, increasing the largest prison population in the history of our world, so instead I left, to battle another day.

FOR THE RECORD - I have come to Holland as a non-violent person who respects all laws not injurious to human rights. I will honor all the laws of Holland that are not injurious to human rights, unless compelling proof of national security breaches can be provided.

In order to understand my asylum request it is necessary to acknowledge the relevant actions of the US since my departure in November 2001. These actions include, but are in no way limited to, the enactment of the "American Service Members Protection Act" of July 2002. This Law declares the "right" of the United States to use "all means necessary" to recover US nationals who are threatened with prosecution in the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague. In other words the United States has said "open and notoriously" that it can and will invade Holland and possibly kill Dutch citizens should it be party to the application of International Law through the ICC. This is the same United States that is using all of its might to secure "immunity" for its representatives in the ICC; such as George W. Bush (after he commits the crime of "Aggression" against the Iraqi people). In other words the United States is forcefully insisting on US immunity for humanities worst crimes such as genocide, thus furthering US domination over the world. The US has also enacted the disgraceful and traitorous 'Patriot Act' which has all but obliterated the US Constitution and its protection of civil rights (human rights). Right now hundreds of "detainees" are being held "indefinitely" against their will, in secret, with no access to an attorney or their families. Due Process of Law has been exchanged for "Homeland Security" in which all that is required to strip you of your human rights is "reasonable suspicion" of "terrorist links," as determined by the Attorney General John Ashcroft. I ask you in all seriousness, if the US is conducting such policies (and others that are equally dangerous or worse), is it really so unbelievable that I was in need of leaving? Think about it.

In pointing to the above I make clear that my choice to come to Holland was thrust upon me. But I certainly did not come to Holland to have my rights continually injured or worse yet injured further. In fact, I specifically chose Holland due to its admirable reputation internationally (at least superficially) as a human rights defender. It is my hope that there is substance beyond the written words and obligations that the Dutch Government has lawfully entered into. It is my position that the rights and obligations outlined in human rights law supercede all laws that do injury to these rights. If we are to relegate essential human rights such as Self-Determination, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to inferior status in law, than human rights are merely concepts, not realities. That is a perilous and self destructive course indeed and I refuse to accept such a system, in fact, I am committed to exposing and fighting such systems; my ultimate weapon being the truth.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Preamble
'Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

'Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.'

As you well know, Holland is indeed a signatory to virtually all human rights laws and conventions, including the pre-eminent Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I am merely adhering to and respecting Holland's obligations under law 'to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance.' Consistent with law and morality I now affirm by this legal instrument my inalienable human rights. I declare that I shall exercise and defend all of my human rights as mandated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For the purposes of this legal notice I will address three specific rights;

1. The Human Right of Self Determination
2. The Human Right to Travel
3. The Human Right to Equal Work for Equal Pay

The Human Right of Self Determination
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - Article 1
'All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.'

Walk just one day in my shoes. I have gone above and beyond my obligations under International Law and US Law in determining my political status. I swore an oath of allegiance to the Hawaiian Nation on October 10th, 1999. I formally 'Renounced' all rights and obligations of US citizenship on March 1st, 2001. I voluntarily left the United States on November 26th, 2001. I declared Stateless 'World Citizen' status via International Notice on July 1st, 2002. And I have burned my US passport before international media on July 1st, 2002. I am in fact a lawful Hawaiian citizen whose nation is fighting the most powerful rouge nation in the history of the world. Historical facts undeniably affirm US theft of the entire Hawaiian Nation by force on January 17th, 1893 through the illegal overthrow of the "sovereign and independent Kingdom of Hawaii." When the truth be known, the US will by virtue of its continued illegal occupation of Hawaii, along with countless other criminal acts, become recognized as the greatest hypocrite and terrorist of all time; Terrified mothers and children in Baghdad being only the latest evidence. All of these facts/views have been made readily available to the Dutch Government through the documents I have supplied to it from the moment I entered your political asylum procedure. Continuing this legal dialogue, I now attach legal confirmations of the existence of the Hawaiian Nation.
Attachments;
a) Writ of Proclamation from the Hawaiian Government declaring the 'Reinstatement' of the lawful Hawaiian Government on March 13th, 1999 (served to the Dutch Government within the protocols of International Law).
b) Legal Notice to Queen Beatrix from the Hawaiian Nation on June 5th, 1999 (served to the Queen within the protocols of International Law).
c) Letter of Receipt by the Queens Cabinet acknowledging receipt of the Writ of Proclamation of March 13, 1999 (August 20,1999).
d) Legal Notice to Prime Minister Wim Kok from the Hawaiian Government on August 24th, 2000 (served within the protocols of International Law).
e) Public Notice within the legal section of Hawaii's largest newspaper (Honolulu Advertiser) on September 9th, 2001 from the Hawaiian Government to the United States Government; announcing the nation's intent to reclaim national lands that are admittedly stolen by virtue of UNITED STATES PUBLIC LAW 103-150. This legal notice provided a '30 Day Objection Period' in which the United States did not object; thereby formally providing critical "tacit consent" to the de jure status of the Hawaiian Government; further affirming the "perfect right" to reclaim stolen national lands.
f) The full text of UNITED STATES PUBLIC LAW 103-150 passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by then President Bill Clinton on November 23rd, 1993. This law is a legally expressed and explicit confession to the crime of 'conspiracy to overthrow' the 'lawful Government of Hawaii' by the US Government (quotes - US PUBLIC LAW 103-150). 103-150 affirms the "perfect right" of the Hawaiian Nation to reclaim their national lands by virtue of legally admitting 'the indigenous Hawaiian people never directly relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people or over their national lands to the United States, either through their monarchy or through a plebiscite or referendum' (US PUBLIC LAW 103-150).
g) I have also included the 'Non-Violence Resolution' that I authored, which was ultimately enacted into Hawaiian Law. I submit this primarily as proof of my non-violent and lawful philosophies.

I genuinely look forward to your governments response, or "tacit consent" regarding the historical and legal facts herein (especially from Foreign Minister de Hoop Scheffer). As a Hawaiian National in the service of his nation I hereby remind the Minister of the implications and obligations that accompany this legal notice.
Dutch Foreign Ministry Website (http://www.minbuza.nl/english/menu.asp?Key=257571&Pad=) 'The traditional objectives of Dutch foreign policy are maintaining good relations between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and other countries, protecting the country against outside threats and promoting a just world where peace, security, welfare and human dignity are guaranteed.'

Since Holland thus far officially regards the United States as a friendly law abiding democratic ally there should be no fear of threats from the US. Accordingly it can only be assumed that respecting US Laws such as PUBLIC LAW 103-150 is no threat to Holland.

FOR THE RECORD - Failure to respond will serve as "tacit consent" acknowledging the current existence of the Hawaiian Nation and Government.

Yet despite having provided proof beyond doubt of my political status and rights, thus far the Dutch Government has injuriously issued me an identity card (docnr. 60034463), which identifies my nationality as American ('AMERIKAANS BURGER').

Note: I request to know why my last name is printed in all capitol letters while my first name is correctly spelled in upper and lower case? In America this is done upon birth to replace a human being (fraudulently) with a "fictitious corporate entity" that unwittingly forfeits all natural (human) rights for highly injurious codes and statutes. I am a human being that forfeits no human rights and I spell my name in upper and lower case. Accordingly, my name must be spelled properly upon issuance of a new ID.

The only reason I did not relinquish this ID card immediately is that I was in a state of "duress" upon my first months in Holland (as are virtually all refugees) and having no identity card would invite further injury to my rights. Thus I made steps as soon as possible to secure my own identity card with the correct status as a Stateless "World Citizen."

The Dutch Government is hereby on notice; there is no lawful right to declare me a US citizen against my will. To do so is a direct violation of your nation's obligations under international human rights law and I will use every instrument of law to expose this hypocritical and injurious position should it be maintained. Need I remind you of the fact that the United States Military has used me as a human guinea pig during the Gulf War by involuntarily administering to me a battery of immunizations and pills, specifically pyridostigmine bromide pills and anthrax and botulinum toxoid vaccines.

"The anti-nerve agent pill and vaccine are (and were during the Gulf War) considered "investigational drugs," which means they are not approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective for use on troops without their informed consent." - CNN - March 27, 1996

Additionally, as a combat veteran of the Gulf War I was likely exposed to depleted uranium, once again by my own nation and with no warning or consent whatsoever.

"We tested urine samples from 30 veterans from the USA, UK, Canada and Iraq. Their locations cover the whole of the ground war region. The samples were analyzed for isotopic composition of uranium isotopes by the delayed neutron activation method and confirmed by surface ionization mass spectrometry. It is more likely that it will take 10 years or longer, for six to ten percent, i.e. 36,000 of the 600,000 veterans exposed would succumb to fatal cancers." - Dr. Hari Sharma of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

All of this has been painfully detailed in my July 1, 2002 'International Notice.' This has been legally served to your government according to law and I strongly suggest that you do not perpetuate crimes against myself any longer, enough is enough. I have been thoroughly violated already and I do not want your government to continue this pattern.

It is my sincere wish that the Dutch Government will honor its obligations under the superior force of International Law and not employ the consistent US pattern of violating its own people by citing inferior domestic laws; laws that are downright hostile to humanity. As a courtesy, with the interest of providing your government the opportunity to correct itself and issue me a new Dutch ID, I will hold the existing Dutch ID for 30 days. On October 31st, 2002 I will return this ID to your government. This is not negotiable, I am not an American and no matter what the consequences I will not compromise my integrity any further by carrying this ID that injuriously and falsely lists me as an American.

I entered Holland (naively or not) with the belief that the Dutch system would be an improvement over the US system, but the answer to that question will be exposed by your objections/responses, or lack thereof. It is purely up to you how you choose to define yourself, just as it is purely up to me to do the same.

Attached and/or included in this affirmation of rights are the following documents that directly support the above human right of Self Determination and my legal name change;

a) The US State Departments 'Statement of Understanding Concerning the Consequences and Ramifications of Renunciation' (of US citizenship). This document affirms by law my absolute right to renounce US citizenship (attached).
b) Proof of de jure Hawaiian citizenship via my 'Hawai'I Identification Certificate' - HKID
#730-44-0051 (below).


Hawaiian ID Issued previous to name change

c) Copy of 'Marriage Certificate' that provides legal proof of my name change from Kenneth
Roy Nichols to Kenneth Nichols O'Keefe (attached).

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 15
(1) 'Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.'

Any nation, or officials representing a nation that attempt futilely to force US citizenship upon me commits a grave injury to their nations integrity. I will confront such nations/individuals by direct attacks intending to expose their criminal violation of human rights. The US is certainly in this category and I sincerely hope Holland does not join them.

FOR THE RECORD - I hereby demand the honoring of my lawfully declared political status. I hereby request a new Dutch identification card that properly lists my name as Kenneth Nichols O'Keefe and my nationality as a "Stateless World Citizen" or "Hawaiian." If the Dutch Government refuses than I cannot be held responsible for failing to present such an ID to Dutch officials upon request.

FOR THE RECORD - Should the Dutch Government honorably provide formal recognition of the Hawaiian Nation and Government I will immediately and voluntarily leave Holland in order to return to my home and nation of Hawaii, regardless of the potential risks to me.

The Human Right to Travel
As stated previously, I did not come to Holland to injure my human rights, to the contrary, I came to protect and exercise them in there fullest. I have however been subjected (as are all refugees in Holland) to a policy that does indeed do injury to the human right of travel.

Geneva Convention on Refugees - Article 27 & 28 (Identity Papers, Travel Documents)
'Article 27 - The Contracting States shall issue identity papers to any refugee in their territory who does not possess a valid travel document.'
'Article 28 - The Contracting States shall issue to refugees lawfully staying in their territory travel documents for the purpose of travel outside their territory, unless compelling reasons of national security or public order otherwise require,'

I hereby demand that my right to travel be honored. I will still fulfill my obligations to "check in" with the foreign police and COA whenever physically possible and I intend to maintain my 100% check in record. If I am unable to check in due to travel I will respectfully inform the pertinent Dutch officials. Last December I was unable to spend the holidays with family in England because of the injurious policy regarding travel, I will not do this two years in succession. Additionally, I also have business that cannot be conducted while limited to the confines of the Dutch borders; thus my reasonable need to exercise the right to travel. To exercise this right I will use my newly acquired "World Service Authority" passport which has been honored by over 150 nations to date, including Holland.

FOR THE RECORD - Unless valid and compelling reasons explaining risks to "national security" or "public order" are provided within the "5 Day Objection Period" I will make short excursions outside of Holland. Of course the Dutch Government is mandated to provide an alternative travel document (as directed by the Geneva Convention on Refugees), I hereby make that request.

FOR THE RECORD - If the Dutch Government threatens to reject, or actually does reject my asylum claim based on my exercising the human right to travel it does so at grave injury to its national integrity. I will pursue immediate legal action against the Dutch Government should it attempt to deny my human right to travel, or any other such rights.

Furthermore I will protect all human rights as I will my life, and I will use all means available by law to expose those who would deny my essential human rights.

As a matter of interest, I do not hold the Dutch Government responsible for my safety either inside or outside Dutch territory. The fact is that I have publicly called for the abolishment of the CIA ("the greatest terrorist organization of the 20th & 21st Centuries"), which makes me a sworn enemy of the CIA and all of its agents. For me to think that I can be "safe" anywhere in Europe or the world for that matter would be naïve at best. Not to mention the fact that Dutch "Intelligence" has a friendly and cooperative relationship with the CIA. Any argument that I cannot leave Holland because the Dutch Government would then be unable to protect me is therefore erroneous and false. There is no request on my behalf for protection, this would be ludicrous, my requests/demands are instead towards the preservation of my human rights, as I have ever so clearly stated. Aside from this, protection for myself is synonymous with the inner peace obtained by serving my human family and the world I love. Accordingly, nobody but myself, including the Dutch Government, can realistically provide me with "protection." And certainly not by denying my human rights; that would injurious, not protective.

The Human Right to Work for Equal Pay
Under the current policies virtually all Dutch refugees are denied the right to legally work, much less receive equal pay. In fact I am friends with several refugees that have reluctantly worked in refugee centers for the slave wage of one Guilder per hour (not one Euro). I would like to know how many Dutch people would work for such a wage?

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 23
(1) 'Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.'

Although conditions for refugees in Holland are better than in most countries, this is no excuse for modern slave wages. If somebody has left their homeland to avoid persecution, war, potential death, or other compelling factors and have legally entered Holland to seek refuge then they should not be further injured by an inability to earn equal pay for equal work.

Geneva Convention on Refugees - Article 17
'Wage-earning employment
1. The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the most favourable treatment accorded to nationals of a foreign country in the same circumstances, as regards the right to engage in wage-earning employment.'

Ironically, in my former status as a US citizen I could have much more readily secured legal work in Holland, yet as a legal refugee I thus far cannot. Clearly this is favoritism to US citizens, and it exists for obvious but hypocritical reasons. The right to 'Wage-earning employment' for refugees is not being honored and the current policy is not only injurious to human rights but also downright stupid in my opinion. Stupid because many skilled, talented and eager human beings are relegated to a state of welfare hand outs instead of contributing to the greater society and economy of Holland, including myself. These people are not threats to the "national labour market," they are instead foolishly wasted assets that directly results in diminished economic and moral prosperity for the Dutch society.

One of my refugee friends is a legitimate medical doctor who I have witnessed sinking into alcoholism greatly because of his frustration in this demoralizing welfare state. There can be no doubt that welfare handouts are inherently detrimental to human growth and as a result of this system many revert to petty theft or worse in order to supplement their income. This in turn feeds the growing anti-refugee sentiments that are all too common in Holland and Europe. Do we remember the first targets/victims of Hitler? Do we remember Hitler's next steps and there consequences?

FOR THE RECORD - As a person who has legally entered the Dutch asylum procedure I hereby demand the right to earn a living for myself by the issuance of a valid work permit.

Once again, it is my hope that your government will honor its obligations under law and help to restore some faith in the cause of human rights. Holland has incorrectly or not established itself as a "tolerant" and just nation in the modern era, if ever there was a time for that reputation to be guarded and enhanced it is right now. It is my wish that I will not have to defend these rights at the detriment of the Dutch reputation but I will not hesitate to do so if necessary.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 7, 8, 28, 30
'All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.'

'Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized.'

'Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.'

With Holland as a "States Party" to the cited laws and conventions above I strongly encourage the Dutch Government to take my requests and demands seriously and act according to the principles of the superior sources of law; specifically International Law, Human Rights Law, and Natural Law. If domestic laws are injurious to essential human rights, without valid reasons, then no person of conscience and integrity is obliged to honor them. You are wise and correct to include me in the category of those who will not honor such laws.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Preamble
'Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,'

Respectfully Submitted,

Kenneth N. O'Keefe

"I am eager to express to the&war veteran Davis my recognition of the sacrifice he has made for the well-being of humanity. In voluntarily giving up his citizenship rights he has made of himself a 'displaced person' in order to fight for the natural rights of those who are the mute evidences of the low moral levels of our time." - Albert Einstein

Note: Garry Davis ("war veteran Davis") renounced US citizenship in 1948 and later founded the World Service Authority that has now registered nearly one million world citizens. These citizens have included Nobel Peace Prize recipient Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Sir Yehudi Menuhin and Albert Einstein. The representative World Government soon followed which represents world citizens.
