OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF GRACIOSA

TO THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE U.N.O.
TO THE CHIEF OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE SAHARAOUIS 
TO THE CHIEF OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF MAROCCO
 
 

Announcement to all the nations without any restriction:
Announcement to  the nations and cultures: 

The sovereign State  Graciosa, in view of the peacefull co-operation with other states, makes the following official announcement: 
All matters of foreign affairs will be treated by the Parliament of Graciosa, entitled to fullfill its mission, and recognizing its legal personality, in conformity with the statute of the identity of its state. 
 
 

The humanitary consciousness is the encarnation of world harmony.
This  nation of consciousness forms itself into an equilibrium : Lasoberana, that behaves as a state, whose  future is integrated in the historical fruit of the past. This state aims for a cooperation with other states and people on the basis of non exploitation and peacefull co-existence. That´s why the Sovereigns must  be enabled to gather around the Staff of Sovereignty in a human social texture.

This is our universal spiritual patrimony: the wish to freely dispose of our own cultural, economic, spiritual and political developments.

Graciosa:  a Parliamentary State with a proper identity order. 
After the  universal shipwreck  our most powerful desire was, and is, to take up our rights to internal and external sovereignty, to belong to the Sovereigns, irrespective of race, skin colour or actual residence, and to be a living cell in this new social texture, whereas the world community should range itself on the side of the aims of this state.
 

It is our wish to take possession of the land, that legitimately belongs to us and that collapsed after the great catastrophe, which resulted in the dispersion of our ancestors; the Old Land, that has been "Terra Nullius" until and beyond the "colonisation" by the European and Arabian States.

Terra Nullius: 
Until the European invasion in the 19th century, it was out of the question that the Berber tribes, which were wandering about in the West would form a nation or a state. 
The area did never belong to any other tribes or powers. It was TERRA NULLIUS, and the existence of spheres of influence in this area was completely non-existent. Nor did Morocco or any other present country or people have rights on this territory. The frontiers were drawn much later by the Europeans, who wanted to trace their sphere of influence in Africa this way. 

The following questions of the decolonisation commission, by which the international Court of Justice in Den Hague was asked to give its advice, were wrong, tendentious and misleading: 
"1. Was the Rio de Oro, at the moment of the colonisation by Spain TERRA NULLIUS? If the answer to this (tendentious) question was negative, what was the legal relationship between this territory and the Kingdom of Morocco? 
On 16.12.74 the Court announced that they decided with 13 votes against 3 to express a judgement concerning the first question. The court announced unanimously that the Rio de Oro at the moment of the colonisation by Spain was not Terra Nullius. As to the second part of the question,  with 14 votes against 2 the court decided to pronounce a judgement as well. The court decided that between Rio de Oro and The Kingdom of Morocco there existed legal relations according to the description in the last paragraph but one of the judgement. 
With 15 votes against 1 the court decided that between this territory and Mauritania there existed legal relations as described in the last paragraph but one of the judgement. 
The court decided that on the basis of the presented material it was out of the question that there had been territorial sovereignty. According to the court there were no juridical objections against the application of the execution of resolution 1514 (XV) of the general meeting of the United Nations as to the decolonization of the Spanish Rio de Oro and especially of the principle of self-determination by means of the free and true expression of the will of the 'Saharaouis'. "
Who were not there before the colonisation of the European power. 

These answers are completely wrong, tendentious and misleading, as will show this short reminder of history: 
- The West Sahara is an empty land since 12.000 b.C., only crossed by nomad caravans and never claimed by anybody.
- In the XIV century, Spain crosses over from the Canaries and occupies the coast area (its part of the great "colonial cake" that was being distributed by Europe). 
- When the phosphates are found, a consortium is founded between Spain, West-Germany and France.
- In 1975 in Madrid the tripartite agreement is signed between Spain, Morocco and Mauritania by which Morocco and Mauritania are asked to take temporarily the administrative tutorship of the area of the west Sahara, with a clause concerning the exploitation of the phosphate mines, other gain-bringing minerals and fishery agreements, between France, West-Germany and Spain. 
None of these countries ever possessed any legal rights on the territory of the west Sahara.
 
 

All people have the legitimate right to decide about their future according to resolution 1514 
(XV) of the General Meeting of the United Nations. 
This future gives us  the right to our Motherland, to the Old City, to sovereignty. 
Our state  is capable of self government in justice, which embodies its ideal of sovereignty. 
Those who want to enslave us, the dispersed people, this spiritual nation, form a violation of the fundamental Human Rights. They are in contradiction with the United Nation Charter and a threat to Peace and co-operation in the world. 
All people have the right of  self determination, the right  to freely determine  their economic, social and cultural development. The temporary lack of political, economical, social and educative structures, can never be used as a pretext to attack the right to independence. 

Atlii: 
After the catastrophe and loss of the old motherland and the dispersion of our ancestors, this territory has been TERRA NULLIUS, aso during and after   the colonisation of the European and the Arabian States. Any oppressing measure and any activity, whatever be their nature, against these people who belong to this nation of consioucness, must be stopped in order to enable them to exercise their right to belong to this  people, thus forming a social equilibrium in freedom and peace and  by doing so, give the Sovereigns the right to independence, while the immunity of their nationality and their national territory will be respected. 
In this territory, which always has been Terra Nullius, and which is now under illegal guardianship, the legal competence will be transferred immediately to this people, without condition or limitations, according to their will and freely expressed wishes, irrespective of race or skin colour, in order to entitle them to be completely free and independent. 
Any attempt to deny partly or completely their nationality or to destroy their national unity or their territorial immunity is a violation of the United Nations Charter' s aims and principles. 
All nations must respect faithfully and strictly the disposals of the United Nation Charter, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of the present declaration, on the basis of non-interference in the internal matters of states, out of respect for the sovereign rights and territorial immunity of all people. 
 
 

About law and  jurisdiction: 
Those who thinks to be able to live above the natural order of law, deny themselves the possibility to co-evolve with the living things that are and will be always and eternally in mutation, and will doom himself necessarily to expulsion. 

Four policies in one: 
Graciosa is based on a form of government that integrates the principles of the monarchy, the republic, the aristocracy and the anarchy. 
The Primus inter Pares of the Monarchy  incorporates the Idea. From his motionlessness radiates  complete independence. He accompanies motion fromout chaos into the own-ness, the Identity. Between the Idea and the individual Sovereigns  exists an oath of loyalty. 
The aristocracy is incorporated by the best, the most noble ones among the Sovereigns. That´s why  they have the greatest moral responsibility. The republic incorporates the entire internal and external sovereignty and the anarchy is  composed by riders, young men, who guard the open spaces and the outer frontiers of the country.
The interaction of these four integrating organs forms this very creative constitution, at least at this moment, in the configuration we now are living in. It is very logical that there will be other policies in the future. 
Our economy is based on the ingenuity, the autonomy and the obligingness of the Sovereigns. With the outer world we will co-operate in the field of the sciences, the arts  and culture. These contacts will be stimulating for everyone and result in the public revenue. Fromout the fundamental research, the application results will be published or patented and offered to the outside world in the form of licences or in joint venture. Also, great importance will be attached to the exchange of researchers and students on all levels.
The own-ness or the proper identity order of Graciosa is not new and not old. It relates to both. It expresses the proper internal and external sovereignty, in which everything has a normal place. To reach these aims, a co-operation is pursued with all the forces that may serve. 
This state was not created fromout the balance of political power; it has grown, as a living embryo, until its birth in 1996, fromout the humanitary nation of consciousness.
Graciosa is based on well determined universal concepts in which the "political" will of the Sovereigns  and the spiritual values are the exponent of this humanitary conscousness and flow into it.
