Article I: Diplomatic Supremacy & Treaty Enforcement Framework

​

1.1 – Supremacy Clause Alignment

​

All laws of the Maya-We Nation shall align with the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2), affirming that treaties made under the authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land and binding upon all states and territories, including Puerto Rico.

​

​

1.2 – Customary International Law (CIL) Enforcement

​

The Maya-We Nation adopts and upholds all relevant provisions of Customary International Law (CIL), especially those that secure diplomatic protections, rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP), and bilateral cooperation with host governments.

​

​

1.3 – Congressional Subordination of Territories

​

Based on Puerto Rico v. Sanchez Valle, 579 U.S. 59 (2016), any legal or law enforcement agency in Puerto Rico acts under delegated U.S. congressional authority, and therefore cannot supersede protections guaranteed under U.S. federal law or international treaty. Thus, PR is legally bound to comply with Maya-We’s recognized diplomatic status under treaty law.

 

Article II: Officer Readiness & Armed Diplomatic Protection Protocol

​

2.1 – Recognition of LEOSA Standards (18 U.S. Code § 926B)

​

Officers and Marshals of the Maya-We Nation meet the criteria of Qualified Law Enforcement Officers (QLEO) and are thus afforded rights under LEOSA for armed duty, regardless of jurisdiction, when engaged in official responsibilities.

​

2.2 – The D-SP Provision (Diplomatic Side-Pistol License)

​

Created by Act 001-2015, this license authorizes active Maya-We Marshals and Ambassadors to carry sidearms for protection under continuous diplomatic mandate. This license shall be recognized under:

​

• Vienna Convention (1961), Article 27 – Inviolability of diplomatic transport and communications;
   

• UNDRIP Articles 19-21 – Rights of Indigenous nations to maintain their own institutions, including security;
   

• U.S. Federal law via LEOSA (QLEO definitions);
   

• Tribal Policing Recognition – As applied in U.S. Code Title 25 & BIA-recognized authorities

 

 

2.3 – Categorized Safety Protocol

​

Puerto Rico is classified as “Category D – High Risk,” under the Maya-We Nation Threat Safety Index. This mandates full diplomatic readiness and constant armed status for Chiefs and Marshals, per Maya-We law.

​

 

Article III: Preemptive Legal Shield Against Misinterpretation

​

3.1 – Mandatory Host Jurisdiction Cooperation

​

Under 22 U.S. Code § 254d (Diplomatic Relations Act), all local, state, and territorial entities are required to recognize diplomatic immunity and shall refrain from arrest, detention, or seizure of official documents or arms of Maya-We officers, shall enforce LEOSA qualified officers (Tribal law enforcement are qualified for recognized Indigenous Nations).

​

Security protocols under this Act extend to kin-recognized Indigenous diplomatic officials, including those of the Guainía Taíno Tribe, under protective jurisdiction when invited or hosted by Maya-We institutions.

​

3.2 – Obstruction Consequences

​

Any interference with the duties of a Maya-We diplomatic officer shall be treated as:

​

• A federal civil rights violation under 42 U.S. Code § 1983,
   

• A breach of treaty rights under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution,
   

• An obstruction of Indigenous rights under UNDRIP Article 8.
   

 

Article IV: Internal Disciplinary & Cooperation Policy

​

4.1 – Officer Integrity Clause

​

All Maya-We Marshals, Chiefs, and appointed security officers must:

​

• Pass psychological, ethical, and diplomatic training;
   

• Uphold the Iron Feather Accord (Peace Before Defense);
   

• Swear to protect national laws, citizens, and international partnerships.
   

4.2 – Breach of Trust Clause

​

Officers who abuse power or violate international law shall be prosecuted under dual-review systems (Maya-We tribunal and host nation justice) and face sanctions of 5–18 years, based on bilateral cooperation protocols.
