The National Lawyers Guild recently pushed out a press release about the US’ occupation of Hawaii, calling upon the US to immediately comply with international humanitarian law.

They argued that the Attorney General “cannot be allowed to knowingly and with intent benefit from the ‘war crime’ of usurpation of sovereignty that consists in the ‘imposition of legislation or administrative measures by the occupying power,’ which, in effect, leads to the violation of international law by denying a Protected Person of the right to a fair and regular trial by a properly constituted court.
