Dispute involving the Rights of Texas' Independence

Request for International Intervention to Further

World Peace to Protect from Violations of the

Respondents against the Petitioner that are

Counter to Active and Certified Treaties

under the Law of Nations involving,

but not limited to, United Nations Charter

Articles 2(3), 2(4) and 73

GREETINGS:

The Petitioner in this cause of action, The Republic of Texas, a sovereign nation, now exercising its rights under the law of nations in reclaiming and reconstituting its nationality, body politic, and its acting lawful government, which have never been eliminated under the law of nations or under the domestic law and treaties of the Respondent, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which is a member nation of the United Nations and is bound pursuant to United Nations Article 103 of the United Nations Charter, once this Petition is properly invoked, whereby the U.S.A. is bound in its obligations and responsibilities under this charter, being of supreme character and status under the law of nations:

Invocation of Jurisdiction to Settle Dispute

1. The Republic of Texas, as Petitioner, has met the minimum established requirements to be a nation state in accordance with the law of nations in that:

A. it has a defined territory;

The Petitioner hereby certifies with the United Nations at Article 102(1) that the International Agreement dated May 3, 1997 which is at controversy in this matter brought before this body involving the Petitioner and the Respondents has been previously forwarded for filing with this body on behalf of both parties for registration and publication with the Secretariat.

In accordance with Article 102(2) of the United Nations Charter, the Petitioner now invokes United Nations jurisdiction to settle and resolve this dispute of International Agreement. Further, the Petitioner invokes Article 35(2) of the United Nations Charter in that the Petitioner, being a non-member, accepts in advance, for the purpose of this dispute only, the obligation of specific settlement provided in the present charter as long as:

1. any long-range settlements are by the vote of all the adult inhabitants on the soil of Texas;

2. membership in this body shall not be a condition for settlement, but only upon the majority vote of the inhabitants of Texas;

3. the People of Texas waive no rights in their war reparations or other claims which might avail or be currently pending under the law of nations against the Respondents or any member of this body unless upon majority vote of the inhabitants on the soil of Texas.

Notice of Extinguishment of Remedy under

United Nations Charter Article 33

The Petitioner hereby gives notice that the Respondents have not complied with and refuse to comply with the terms of an International Agreement dated May 3, 1997. The Respondents are in fact ignoring this International Agreement, continuing to incarcerate Texian Nationals, raiding, destroying and confiscating their personal property and the property of our government that is working to regain our independence. These unlawful actions are occurring in a secretive frenzy to hide and destroy the means to our independence while the UNITED STATES continues to pursue genocide and squelch the freedom and liberties of the Texas people; thus, the Petitioners have exhausted all remedies with respect to this action, and pursuant to Article 33 of the United Nations Charter, if this resolve were to fail, Texians will be forced back to their only remedy remaining, the re-establishment of armed force and conflict.

International Political Notice

The General Assembly and Security Council is hereby given international political notice and is asked to adopt and incorporate the more than two-foot thickness of previous filings with exhibits that were filed with the Secretary General between October 1995 and the present, which is hereafter in this Petition called "the initiative."

Notice of Judicial and Diplomatic Perfection

by the Petitioner of its Foreign Relations

Embassies and Offices

The Petitioner and its foreign office and Ambassador Richard Lance McLaren have received and acknowledged accreditation, recognition by acquiescence and other forms of the Respondent by previous political and judicial actions on both diplomatic and international levels, and these acts are hereby noticed:

1. actions in the STATE OF TEXAS Supreme Court, Case No. 95-1002, November 16, 1995;

2. quo warranto proceedings and judgment of May 2, 1996;

3. UNITED STATES Congressional acts of April 30, 1996;

4. acts in the district court of the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., of September 30, 1996;

5. International Agreement and Terms of Cease Fire of May 3, 1997, retroactivating and certifying the April 25, 1838 treaty.

Additionally, The Republic of Texas' challenge to gain its national independence is based on flawless documentation, authoritative and standing international law, and has been argued before the international community in the best-executed and presented challenge ever to be accomplished in the Twentieth Century without major bloodshed.

Concise Complaint of Actions

The Petitioner at all times proceeded with its initiative to gain Texas' independence by all lawful and peaceful manner, in accordance with the law of nations, Texas law and the Constitution of The Republic of Texas, and its Common Law. The Respondents and their agents willfully, knowingly and intentionally devised and proceeded to implement international schemes involving genocide, war crimes, international theft, murder, international kidnapping and use of violent force coupled with bogus, domestic court proceedings to suppress, destroy and circumvent with their plan to eventually annihilate the right of the Texas culture and the right of its people to reform and to reclaim their independence as a nation and their right to institute lawful limited government on their behalf.

The Respondents are attempting to hold, by violent force and illegal annexation under the War Powers Acts of the American Civil War, the nation of Texas and its people as a captive nation. The actions by the Respondents constitute violations of the United Nations Charter at Article 2(3) and (4) and Article 73, and are violations of in-force treaties, thus constituting international frictions and endangering international peace and security.

Additionally, the Respondents are conducting and operating under a plan and scheme for genocide of the Texian culture by a systematic and willful pattern of international crimes under the Nuremberg principles, which read:

"1. Everyone guilty of a war crime against international law must be held responsible and punished.

2. If a given national law did not provide punishment of an international crime, then it did not eliminate the liability of the person guilty of that crime.

3. If an international crime was perpetrated by a person acting as a head of state or public functionary, this fact did not release him from international liability or mitigate the punishment

4. Actions under the order of a government or of a superior did not eliminate liability under international law.

5. Defendant charged with an international crime had a right to a fair trial.

6. International crimes were defined as crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

7. Participation in and perpetrating each crime in number 6 was a crime under international law."

Additionally, the Respondents have violated in almost all respects the international conventions on human rights, including the International Convention on Human Rights of 1948, to which the Respondents are signatories, and the Respondents have continued their violations under that convention, in particular, the following articles which read: "Whereas, member states have pledged themselves to achieve, in cooperation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for the observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms." Article 2: "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration without distinction of any kind such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or status." Article 3: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." Article 9: "No one shall be subject to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile." Article 15: "Everyone has the right to a nationality." Article 15(2): "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of their nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality."

International Legal Authority to Intervene

1. There is no statute of limitations under international law or domestic constitutional law of the Respondents.

2. There has never been any lawful act which exists under the law of nations arising under the domestic law of the Respondents to extinguish the Texian Nationality or citizenship or the rights of action under the laws and Constitution of The Republic of Texas to prevent any lawful recovery of its sovereign body or its lawful government on the soil of Texas known as The Republic of Texas. Accordingly, under the Respondents' own laws and congressional approval, it is a reserved right under the law of nations of December 29, 1845, Art. 7 Sec. 20, and acts of February 15, 1876, at Art. 16 Sec. 18, which read as follows:

Art. 7, Sec. 20:

Art. 16, Sec. 18:

In accordance with this same law, on December 29, 18 45, at Art. 1, Sec. 1, it reads:

Request for International Intervention and En forcement

The United Nations is hereby requested by th e Petitioner to immediately intervene and force its member, THE UNITED ST ATES OF AMERICA, and its agents and agencies to comply with the law of na tions in this instant matter, which includes, but is not limited to, the terms and jurisdiction of the precepts established in the International A greement in controversy dated May 3, 1997, and which is the subject of th is controversy in this Petition, as follows:

1. The unconditional release of all political and international political prisoners being held in Texas prisons who ha ve not violated any laws or constitutions of The Republic of Texas or its Common Law.

2. The assistance of international organizati ons or entities that are neutral which will assist in the arbitration of the existing May 3, 1997 International Agreement, naming it into a workin g coalition government between the parties pending the vote and resolutio n of the Texas independence question before all inhabitants of the soil o f Texas.

3. The return of all confiscated and stolen p roperty belonging to its original Texian Nationals in this action and the just compensation for any damages inflicted or created within reason, in cluding the 80 cases adjudicated and certified by the courts of The Repub lic of Texas during the precepts of this original action.

4. International sponsorship and monitoring o f the Texas vote on independence to ensure that all of the adult inhabita nts are allowed to vote and participate and to do so in a two-part vote: one on the existing boundaries of Texas being claimed by the UNITED STAT ES as a state; and if passed, a second vote entailing the rights of all i nhabitants of the other part of the territory of Texas as established and certified in this May 3, 1997 Agreement to either join with the certifie d now-existing part of The Republic of Texas, or to remain within the de facto states encompassed within the UNITED STATES.

Notice of International Emergency and Crisis< /P>

Need for Immediate Relief

The Petitioner hereby gives notice by the filing of this Petition that an international emergency and crisis now exists w hich needs immediate attention or relief and which affects the status and condition of world peace. If this agreement is not kept by the Responde nts and the Respondents do not cease their continued violent attacks, imp risonment and confiscations of Texian Nationals' property and resolve the issues by coalition with the Petitioner and allow the inhabitants of Tex as to choose their right by vote to recertify or deny that which is alrea dy their right as a nation under the law of nations, then these negative actions by the Respondents will show to the world the final signal that n o agreement, treaty or deal can ever be kept by the Respondents and that no law exists on the soil of Texas but that of armed force. Inhabitants of The Republic of Texas, its civil militia forces, and its Texas Defense Forces will then know that free speech and free action are now done with and all peaceful resolve is nonexistent and that they are next on the ag enda of the Respondents for extermination.

Do not judge or underestimate the impact of the failure of this body to intervene in this crisis. If you fail to do so, it will finally prove to those who come before this body asking for help and to those who refuse to come here for your help that the United Nation s is nothing more than a puppet organization of the Respondents and their politically correct global internationalists.

PRAYER

Accordingly, the People of The Republic of T exas, by and through its Chief Foreign Diplomatic and Legal Officer and C hief Ambassador and Consul General, Richard Lance McLaren, request that i mmediate intervention and proceedings be brought to bear against the Resp ondents in this action and obtain the immediate release of Ambassador Ric hard McLaren so that in accordance with United Nations Charter Article 32 he can represent the Petitioner in this dispute before this body and be invited to participate without vote in discussions relating to this dispu te and its resolution.

I close this Petition and plea with the thoughts of Col. William B. Travis at the wall of the Alamo in March of 1836 befo re the last charge of the Mexican army, under which were the words of Jam es Madison who helped found the country of the Respondents in this contro versy and who died in the year the Texas Republic became a nation:

May God save the United States of America and th e sovereign nation and land of The Republic of Texas.

SIGNED, SEALED AND EXECUTED this the twenty-fift h day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, in the one hundred sixty-first year of Texas' independence.

It is very important that this happen 1, 2, 3. Make sure that when the notice of registration goes by overnight mail, the no tice of intent to file hits the day afterwards. The notice of the regist ration needs to carry a prior date over the notice of filing. This shoul d go off Thursday and be filed on Friday. This can then be incorporated into the document that's going to Washington on the writ of habeas corpus 2E As a matter of fact, it does not actually have to be incorporated, b ut on the top of the document in the notice, it can be taken and used to show the judge where this thing is going. So that will bring more politi cal pressure on the judge to sign the writ.

GREETINGS:

The Republic of Texas, with its Body Politic of Texi an Nationals as Citizens, is a sovereign nation coming out of exile as a captive nation of war, and having previously filed with the United Nation s such documented evidence and implementing declarations as required unde r the law of nations, Texas hereby, through its legally constituted Embas sy and Office of Foreign Affairs, under its Chief Ambassador and Consul G eneral, Richard Lance McLaren, makes official presentation to the Secreta ry General of the United Nations, pursuant to Article 102(1) of the Unite d Nations Charter, for registration and publication of an Internat ional Agreement dated May 3, 1997, between a member state of the United N ations, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, acting via delegation of authority to its political subdivision agents, George W. Bush and Barry K. Caver of "The STATE OF TEXAS," hereafter known as the second party, and The Repub lic of Texas, by and through its ambassador, Richard Lance McLaren, repre senting the first party. A copy of said International Agreement is attac hed and incorporated herein with its attached exhibits as Exhibit "A."

International notice is hereby given that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, through its U.S. Department of State and its represen tative Madeleine Albright, was notified officially on May 21, 1997, and h as failed and refused to disclaim or protest this International Agreement and actions of its agents, thus constituting a perfected agreement under the law of nations.

This International Agreement is certified under retr oactive recognition and United States law and treaty, under rights and ac tions of property arising under the laws and Constitution of The Republic of Texas, and certifies and dissolves the illegal annexation and unratif ied treaty of March 1, 1845, thus permanently destroying the second party 's ability to use the bridging instrument for the continued violations of both judicial and political process on the soil of Texas by the UNITED S TATES OF AMERICA and its political subdivision, the STATE OF TEXAS, and i n accordance with the U.S. Supreme Court doctrine of Havenstein vs. Ly nham, 1880 100 U.S. 483 (Treaty-making clause of Constitution is retr oactive as well as prospective.) Every treaty made by the UNITED STATES is superior to the Constitution and laws of any individual state. If a l aw of a state is contrary to treaty, the law is void.

This notice and presentment thus constitutes full re troactive recognition of a now enforced treaty dated April 25, 1838, betw een the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and The Republic of Texas. In connectio n with said treaty of April 25, 1838, which is referenced in the May 3, 1 997 International Agreement and Terms of Cease Fire at Article 2, a true and correct copy of the international claim and eminent domain descriptio n dated February 20, 1997 is attached as notice of claim to President Wil liam Jefferson Clinton, who is the Chief Executive Officer of the second party to the Agreement of May 3, 1997 and which is attached and incorpora ted herein as Exhibit "B" and is now brought to the Secretariat on behalf of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by The Republic of Texas for registratio n and publication before the United Nations. This Agreement also is requ ested to be filed to protect against any further and continuing violation s by the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and its agency departments and agents, whether operating under the name of the UNITED STATES, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the STATE OF TEXAS, or any international organization from co mmitting any further violations of the law of nations or international wa r crimes or genocide against the Texan People and Citizen Nationals of Th e Republic of Texas, or seeking to continue to destroy the territorial in tegrity and political independence of The Republic of Texas, in violation of United Nations Charter Article 2(4) and Article 73.

The presenting party herein requests that in this sp ecial instant matter under the law nations and to secure world peace, tha t the Secretary General accept this International Agreement for registrat ion and publication.

II.

IV.

That the Respondents' lower courts, their judges and officers, Respondents' agencies, departments, branches and all of it s government institutions operating on the soil of The Republic of Texas, which is neither a state in the union under constitutional definition no r an acquired territory of the UNITED STATES by lawful treaty or lawful a nnexation under the law of nations, continue to knowingly, willfully and intentionally violate not only their own domestic law, but the law of nat ions as well, in a massive plan to exterminate and use genocide against T he Republic of Texas movement, its government, its officers and Texian Na tionals by violent force, deception and fraud involving every known princ iple of destruction of law and human rights, in the continued circumventi on and cover-up of its basic actions to conceal the lack of eminent domai n authority on the soil of Texas by an illegal annexation and an unratifi ed treaty, and denying all the inhabitants of Texas the right to vote on its international right to maintain its independence and dissolve its sta tus as a captive nation.

V.

That the Respondents' lower courts, agencies, ag ents and officers continue to unlawfully hold Richard Lance McLaren, a ce rtified ambassador, his wife and his staff and embassy guard, embassy equ ipment and other property belonging to the Foreign Affairs Office, in vio lation of its own International Agreement of May 3, 1997, and in violatio n of the UNITED STATES treaty with the Petitioner, and in violation of th e United States Constitution and its own law, 28 U.S.C. 1251, of which th e Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction of all actions an d proceedings against ambassadors or other public ministers or foreign st ates, whether domestic or domestic servants, not inconsistent with the la w of nations.

Now, therefore, the Petitioner in this action be fore the United Nations hereby presents to the Respondents' highest court this Request for Judicial Assistance to further prove and satisfy that t he Petitioner has exhausted every avenue of possible resolution under Uni ted Nations Article 33, and further show the sufficiency of its claim and right for review under the United Nations Charter and the intervention o f the United Nations in this matter to invoke and maintain world peace.
