Civil Beat - July 2, 2012

Honolulu City Council member Nestor Garcia broke a record Monday. And it’s probably one he wishes he hadn’t.

Garcia, who is winding down his second term and not running for any political office this fall, was fined $6,500 by the Honolulu Ethics Commission for breaking conflict of interest rules and misusing city resources while acting as the executive director of the Kapolei Chamber of Commerce, a side job that pays him $60,000 a year.

The fine is the largest in the history of the Ethics Commission. It's more than triple the $2,000 penalty levied against infamous former council member Rod Tam, who improperly spent nearly $12,000 of city money on meals that had nothing to do with business and was later convicted of theft and other charges.

According to the Ethics Commission, Garcia failed to disclose that he worked for the Kapolei Chamber of Commerce before voting on 52 bills or resolutions that the business group had testified on in front of the council.

Of those 52 votes, 38 were related to the controversial $5.2 billion rail project....

Reviewing: Understanding the law of occupation and how it pertains to Hawaii

U.S. President Cleveland states: United States actions on 16, January 1893 in the Kingdom of Hawaii is an Act of War.  This is again reconfirmed by the United States Congress in March 1999, Joint Resolution Pub. 103-150, the Apology Bill whereby the United States acknowledges and admits its conspiracy and involvment in the invasion and takeover of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The Hague Convention of 1907 clarified and supplemented these customary laws of war and occupation.  A belligerent is an entity which acts in a hostile manner (to wage war).  Military occupation occurs when the control and authority over a territory passes to a hostile army.  The terrritory is occupied when placed under authority of a hostile army.

- Art. 42, 1907 Hague Regulations (HR).  As we well know, the U.S. military landed its troops on the 16th of January 1893; protected the Committee of safety so it could make the proclamation of its Provisional Government; allowed the set up of its puppet provisional government and protected it for at least 75 days to insure the firm establishment of it which becomes the civilian arm of the military occupation.   U.S. Rep. Springer was convinced that the Provisional government and its members would not have been able to last for more than a half hour without the protection of the U.S. troops. The U.S. is the belligerent country and the Kingdom of Hawaii is a neurral country and non-belligerent.

  Where (U.S.) occupation of state territory meet with no armed resistence (Hawaii),occupation is also considered applicable.  Sec. 199 - How the rights of the nation protected (Hawaii) is lost by its silence ...but...If the inferior nation proves that violence and fear prevented its giving testimonies of opposition, nothing can be concluded from its silence, which therefore gives no right to the usurper (U.S.).

- Book I, Chapter 16, The Laws of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758), Emmerich de Vattel. Of course, by the fact that the Queen's Protest, Executive Agreements, etc. and later the Memorial and the Queens other prottest, and the Ku'e Petitions of Sept. 1897, The question of Silence becomes moot.  Also regulated by U.N. Charter and law jus ad bellum; whether or not the occupation is considered lawful, the law of occupation is applied.   It is solely the facts on the ground thatt determine its application.

Section 13  Whether a King (or Queen) as Head of State, being a prisoner of war, can make peace. ...It undoubtedly deprives him/she of the power of making peace.   Only through de-occupation and restoring the monarch to its authority prior to the Belligerent occupation can the monarch make peace with the occupier.

Military Occupation and the laws of war. Military occupation vs. Territorial acquisition by invasion and annexation.

- Customary laws of belligerent occupation evolved as part of the laws of war gave some protection to the population under military occupation of a belligerent power with its civilian arm to govern the occupied territory.  To repeat, the Hague conventions of 1907 clarified and supplemented these customary laws.

Section III - (U.S.) Military authority over the territory of the hostile state (Hawaii)

Art. 42 - Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.  The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.  [like the armed-bunkers surrounding Iolani Palace to protect the Provisional Government members within the palace.]

Art. 43 - The authority of the legitimate power having in fact passed into the hands of the occupant, he shall take all the measures in his power to restore, and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety, while respecting, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country [the Kingdom of Hawaii].

1949 - Laws further extended by adoption of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV) which is relevant to protected persons in occupied territories and Section III: Occupied territories is a specific section covering the issue.

Art. 6 restricts the length of time that most of GCIV applies: The present Convention shall apply from the onset of any conflict or occupation mentioned in Article 2. - the application of the present Convention shall cease on the general close of military operations; the Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the present Convention: 1 to 12, 27, 29 to 34, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 59, 61 to 77, 143.

U.N. Charter (26 June 1945) had prohibited war of aggression (Arts 1.1, 2.3, 2.4) and GCIV Article 47, the first paragraph in Section III: Occupied territories, restricted the territorial gains which could be made through war by stating: Protected persons [Hawaiian subjects] who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a territory, into the institutions or government of the said territory, nor by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power, nor by any annexation by the latter of the whole or part of the occupied territory.

Article 49 prohibits the forced mass movement of people out or into occupied state's territory: Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as, deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive. ...The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Protocol I (1977) : Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 Auggust 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts "has additional articles which cover military occupation but many countries including the U.S. are not signatory to this additional protocol."

*In the situation of a territorial cession as the result of war, the specification of a "receiving country" in the peace treaty merely means that the country in question is authorized by the international community to establish civil goernment in the territory.  The military government of principal occupying power will continue past the point in time when the peace treaty comes into force, until it is legally supplanted; which is the rule, as stated in "Military Goverrnment and Martial Law", by William E. Birkhimer, 3rd edition, 1914.

- Most military occupations end with the cessation of hostilities.

-In most wars, some territory is placed under the authority of the hostile party.

- Some cases, the occupied territory is returned; in others, the land remains under control of the occupying power but usually not as military occupied territory.

- Sometimes the status of presences is disputed by a party tto the situation.

Referencing the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Resource Center: Population of occupied territory are protected by international humanitarian law (GCIV, art. 47) and protected persons themselves can in no circumstances renounce their rights (GCIV, art. 8).

Main rules:

- The occupant does not acquire sovereignty over the territory.  [The U.S. violated this rule.]

- Occupation is only a temporary situation, and the rights of the occupant limited to the extent of that period.  [The U.S. is still violating this rule.]

- The occupying power must respect the laws in force in the occupied territory, unless they constitute a threat to its security or an obstacle to the application of the international law of occupation.  [The U.S. violated this rule.]

- Occupyinng power must take measures to restore and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety. - ...must ensure sufficient hygiene and public health standards, as well as the provision of food and medical care to the population under occupation.

- The population in occupied territory cannot be forced to enlist in the occupier's armed forces. [This the U.S. violated by applying the military draft - lottery system in Hawaii.]

- Collective or indiviual forcible transfers of population from and within the occupied territory are forbidden and prohibited. [This the U.S. is continuously violating]. 

- Transfers of the civilian population of the occupying power into the occupied territory, regardless whether forcible or voluntary are prohibited.  [The U.S. is continuously violating this rule.]

- Collective punishment is prohibited.  [The U.S. is violating this rule.]

- Taking of hostages is prohibited.  [The U.S. is violating this rule through unlawful imprisonment, etc.]

- Reprisals against protected persons or their property are prohibited.  [The U.S. is continuously violating this rule.]

- Confiscation of privvate property by the occupant is prohibited.  [The U.S. is continuously violating this rule].

- The destruction or seizure of "enemy" property is prohibited, unless absolutely required by military necessity during the conduct of hostilities.  [The U.S. is continuously violating this rule.]

- Cultural property must be respected.  [The U.S. is continuously violating this rule.]

- Military occupation and the laws of war From the second half of the 18th century onwards, international law has come to distinguish between the military occupation of a country and territorial acquisition by invasion and annexation, the difference between the two being originally expounded upon by Emerich de Vattel in The Law of Nations (1758).

The distinction then became clear and has been recognized among the principles of international law since the end of the Napoleonic wars in the 19th century. These customary laws of belligerent occupation which evolved as part of the laws of war gave some protection to the population under the military occupation of a belligerent power. The Hague Conventions of 1907 further clarified and supplemented these customary laws. Specifically "Laws and Customs of War on Land" (Hague IV); October 18, 1907: "Section III Military Authority over the territory of the hostile State."^[6]The first two articles of that section state:

Art. 42.

Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.

The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.

Art. 43.

The authority of the legitimate power having in fact passed into the hands of the occupant, the latter shall take all the measures in his power to restore, and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety, while respecting, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country.

In 1949 these laws governing belligerent occupation of an enemy state's territory were further extended by the adoption of the Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV). Much of GCIV is relevant to protected persons in occupied territories and Section III: Occupied territories is a specific section covering the issue. Article 6restricts the length of time that most of GCIV applies:

The present Convention shall apply from the outset of any conflict or occupation mentioned in Article 2.

In the territory of Parties to the conflict, the application of the present Convention shall cease on the general close of military operations.

In the case of occupied territory, the application of the present Convention shall cease one year after the general close of military operations; however, the Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the present Convention: 1 to 12, 27, 29 to 34, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 59, 61 to 77, 143.

GCIV emphasised an important change in international law. The United Nations Charter (June 26, 1945) had prohibited war of aggression (See articles 1.1, 2.3, 2.4) and GCIV Article 47, the first paragraph in Section III: Occupied territories, restricted the territorial gains which could be made through war by stating:

Protected persons who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a territory, into the institutions or government of the said territory, nor by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power, nor by any annexation by the latter of the whole or part of the occupied territory.

Article 49prohibits the forced mass movement of people out of or into occupied state's territory:

Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive. ... The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

Protocol I (1977): "Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts" has additional articles which cover military occupation but many countries including the U.S. are not signatory to this additional protocol. In the situation of a territorial cession as the result of war, the specification of a "receiving country" in the peace treaty merely means that the country in question is authorized by the international community to establish civil government in the territory. The military government of the principal occupying power will continue past the point in time when the peace treaty comes into force, until it is legally supplanted. "Military government continues until legally supplanted" is the rule, as stated in Military Government and Martial Law, by William E. Birkhimer, 3rd edition 1914.

Por lo tanto, Apple está teniendo un poco de un día arriba y abajo, ya que después de que las autoridades estadounidenses le negaron su intento de prohibir los dispositivos de HTC, ahora mantienen su decisión sobre la prohibición de la Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 de la pizarra. Mientras tanto, Tablet PC Samsung hizo un llamado y quiere que la medida cautelar que se levanten, pero EE.UU.

Koh a la medida cautelar contra el modelo de la ficha de 10,1 la semana pasada y Samsung apelaron inmediatamente, tratando de posponer la medida cautelar hasta que la apelación se resuelva. Usted debe saber que aún hay esperanza para la empresa de Corea del Sur que se puede ir a la corte federal de apelaciones, Tablet Android que se encarga de disputas sobre propiedad intelectual en exclusiva. El recurso fue presentado el 26 de junio y creo que todavía tenemos que ver el final de esta historia.

HOW DID HAWAIIANS BECOME OUTCASTS IN THEIR OWN LAND?

Here's What The History Books Won't Tell You -

Western diseases, to which Hawaiians had no immunity, decimated their numbers. At the time of western contact, well over 500,000 people inhabited the Hawaiian Islands.

By 1805 that number had been more than halved.

By 1853 there were only 71,000 Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian people in the islands.

Within 100 years of western contact, the Hawaiian population had been reduced by nearly 90 percent.

According to the 2000 census, the numbers of people who claim some native Hawaiian ancestry have increased to over 400,000. But only 239,000 live in Hawai`i and they are the poorest, most locked-up population in the state.

Although they only make up about 20 percent of the state's population, in June 2001 they made up 39 percent of the state's prison population, according to the state Department of Public Safety.

Sadly, today they make up 37 percent of the state's homeless population.

Comentario del Acer Iconia Tab A700：Nada especial

La gente de la Verge tenido la oportunidad de revisar la A700 Acer Iconia Tab antes que nadie y que en realidad le dio una calificación de 6,9 sobre 10, resultando no ser tan satisfactorio como el ASUS transformador Pad Infinity 700. Sí, el dispositivo tiene una pantalla describe como un excelente rendimiento, decente y buenos ajustes de software, pero el dise?o, las cámaras de los pobres y no suficientes aplicaciones de la tableta, tire hacia abajo. Tablet PC

Acer Iconia Tab A700 cuenta con un 10,1 pulgadas de 1920 x 1200 píxeles, lo hace de video de 1080p de forma nativa y sus especificaciones son casi las mismas que las de la ficha Iconia A510. El A700 tiene un Tegra 3 de cuádruple núcleo de la CPU, una ranura para tarjetas SIM y 32 GB de almacenamiento, además de un precio de $ 449, que es bastante atractivo si usted me pregunta. Tablet PC Este modelo de Acer es una pieza de 10,9 mm de espesor de la maquinaria con un marco frontal negro, plata con hoyuelos bordes negros y plata, y lados oscuros de plata. La cámara en el A700 se encontró que era sorprendentemente ruidoso, granulada y suave fotos, por lo que fue una decepción muy grande. Tablet Android

Por lo que sé de la cámara en el TF700 ASUS es en realidad bastante bueno, así que es posible lograr algo en este campo, lo que se refiere a las tablas. La tableta funciona con Android 4.0.4 y las puntuaciones de 3.574 puntos en el cuadrante, mucho más que el Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, pero por debajo de la Placa ASUS transformador de 300, por ejemplo. Asimismo, las puntuaciones en Vellamo 1.210, que es menor que el Nexus 7 por un poco y también por debajo de la Placa ASUS transformador 300. Te dejaré saber más desde el borde! Tablet Android 4.0
