Aloha, my name is Henry Noa and I am the elected Prime Minister of the Reinstated
Hawaiian Kingdom nation. I want to thank you for this opportunity to share my mana'o and also
that of our Hawai'i Nationals to reclaim sovereignty in our homeland through the efforts of
reinstating our nation and its rightful government.
Since that fateful day of January 17, 1893, the Kanaka Mach people have strived to reclaim their
nation through one effort or another only to be denied or put on hold. This I believe is a result of
not comprehending the full spectrum of international law and how these principles are applied.
Past applications and current proposals offered to our Kanaka Maoli people confirms how
ignorance of the proper application of international law has lead our people and will continue to
lead our Hawaiian people into a paradox of applying or accepting "imperfect right, " which is a
key principle in international law.
The principle of imperfect right occurred when the Hawaiian people "asked" the United States
Govemment/Congress to return their sovereignty. "The principle of imperfect right cannot
compel the corresponding fulfillment of obligations." Now it will easily be understood why a
right is always imperfect when the corresponding obligation depends upon the judgment of him
[the offender] who owes it. (Emer DeVattel, Law of Nations, Intro. P7).
For years, all proposals generated from the Kanaka Maoli people in pursuit of sovereignty was
tainted because they were asking for the return of their sovereignty, the application of imperfect
right. As Senator Dan Inouye stated, "sovereignty is inherent in the people." Even today, our
Hawaiian people are easily coaxed into accepting a process of sovereignty that emanates from
the principle of imperfect right through the solicitation of the Akaka Bill legislation imposed by
Hawaii's Congressional leaders and supported by the governor of the State of Hawaii. The
Akaka Bill is a clear example of how the Federal government and the State of Hawaii
government continue to mislead our Hawaiian people in believing they must ask for their
sovereignty through this type of legislation.
The Akaka Bill is a pretense of sovereignty that is not only imperfect right in its truest meaning,
but also outright absurd and cynical. The paradox is this; where in any civilized nation's justice
system can the perpetrator of the crime dictate to the injured party its own terms and conditions
of a settlement, a judgment or final decision?
This is surely the situation presented in the Akaka Bill legislation. The United States (the
perpetrator and participant that stole Hawaii's sovereignty) is offering a solution by dictating the
terms and conditions to a type of sovereignty the Hawaiian people should possess. If any of you
have read the Akaka Bill, it can be easily determined that true sovereignty is not being offered,
but rather a process of sovereignty that is subjugated to U.S. Federal laws, State of Hawaii laws

and County government laws existing in Hawaii. Aren't the Hawaiian people subjugated to
these laws already?
Today, I stand before you to explain how the reinstated Hawaiian Kingdom and its government
was manifested through the international law principle of "perfect right." This principle is the
opposite of imperfect right. The difference is that perfect rights are those rights, which carry with
them the right of compelling the fulfillment of corresponding obligations. That obligation is the
return of sovereignty to Hawaii through the reinstatement process according to international law
as applied to other recognized nations and former recognized nations.
The following presentation describes how the principles of international law play a key role in
the reinstatement process of the Hawaiian Kingdom and how specific laws passed by the U.S.
federal government and the corporate State of Hawaii lend credence to our efforts. Also
included is a proposal of how the transition of government powers will play an important role in
assisting the Hawaiian people's perfect right to reclaim their nation.
Mahalo Ke Akua for this opportunity to speak to all of you.
