The report concluded that the United States legation assigned to the Hawaiian Kingdom, together with United States Marines and Naval personnel, were directly responsible for the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government. The report details the culpability of the United States government in violating international laws and the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom, but the United States Government fails to follow through in its commitment to assist in reinstating the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Instead, the United States allows five years to lapse and a new United States President, William McKinley, enters into a second treaty of annexation with the same individuals who participated in the illegal overthrow with the U.S. legation in 1893 on June 16, 1897, but the treaty was unable to be ratified by the United States Senate due to protests that were submitted by Her Majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani and signature petitions against annexation by 21,169 Hawaiian nationals.
As a result of the Spanish-American War, the United States opted to unilaterally annex the Hawaiian Islands by enacting a congressional joint resolution on July 7, 1898, in order to utilize the Hawaiian Islands as a military base to fight the Spanish in Guam and the Philippines. The United States has remained in the Hawaiian Islands and the Hawaiian Kingdom has since been under prolonged occupation to the present, but its continuity as an independent State remains intact under international law.

Read your comment on Cummins. I have old brain, and need to be careful here. So, all not true, but in bits and pieces. I went to Waiamanalo elementary and my dad too. I also went to school with Cummins, Bertlmen (sp), and Naeole. Wasn't Cummins the last to own Waimanalo
Farm lots, at least, before Spreckles? Anyhow, the family at this writing are being sought after to claim/negotiate, so stay alert. Are you from Ala Koa or Bell Street? Just asking.
Under the law of occupation, U.S. Americans already violate the law and still hold their U.S. citizenship as hostile occupiers/settlers. U.S. Americans do not lose their citizenship. Descendants of the Hawaiian Subjects at the time of the U.S. Invasion and concurrent belligerent occupation, still maintain their Kngdom citizenship. Traitors, of course lose their property and consequences under the Kingdom law. Those U.S. citizens and other foreigners in Hawai'i may naturalize to the Kingdom according to its immigration laws. Those injured through the U.S. fraud would have to take it up with the U.S. government. For years we have told people of the facts; so they have been forewarned whether they believed it or not, they were given notice. They would have to accept the consequences but that is not our kuleana and they must address it with their government and not us/the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Refer to the law of occupation for a better understanding.

And who is the sovereign? My understanding was that the way the kingdom was set up was that if somehow the kingdom was disabled for any reason, there was a set protocol to re-establish the kingdom and its acting members. I was under the impression that this is what Keanu Sai was doing. Can anyone explain further?
I've been at this for a long time, and before I was a nice person cause I was young, now I old and have no hold back as far as being a smart-ass. That's better than being one lolo-ass.
Your questions are valid and warrant answers, but it doesn't come easy at the end of the concept, you still gottah pay the bills. So don't forget to do that, then come out with cut and paste between international law and the kingdom of hawaii laws from all time. No forget too, to come back to today, no just stay in yesterday. Yesterday stay yesterday and today is today.
