Statement of support for the sovereignty of the Hawaiian nation

We, the Green Party of Hawaiʻi, publicly affirm and recognize that the Hawaiian people never ceded their national sovereignty and have been under illegal foreign occupation since the overthrow of Hawaiʻi’s last sovereign, Queen Liliʻuokalani, in 1893. Furthermore, we commit to reconciliation in compliance with the Apology Resolution of 1993 (Public Law 103-150), restoration under international law, and the laws of war.
