Enacted under the inherent right  of indigenous elf-governance of Indigenous Peoples, as recognized under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and the U.S. Constitution Article VI (Supremacy Clause).

​

Preamble

​

The Maya-We Nation affirms its commitment to peace, mutual respect, and lawful international engagement. This Act establishes the principle of Reciprocal Sovereign Compliance, under which all international treaties, human rights conventions, and legal standards ratified by the United States—specifically those that pertain to Indigenous peoples and diplomatic relations—are automatically adopted within Maya-We national law. In turn, the Maya-We Nation expects reciprocal compliance from all host nations, states, territories, and agents engaging with its representatives and operations. This Act recognizes the Guainía Taíno Tribe as a kin Indigenous government. All rights, statuses, and obligations under Maya-We national law shall apply reciprocally to its citizens, in accordance with UNDRIP Article 36 and Indigenous diplomatic norms.

​

This reciprocal structure ensures harmony, legal certainty, and peaceful coexistence, while protecting the rights of Maya-We citizens, diplomats, and institutions under both domestic and international legal frameworks.

​

Article I – Legal Foundations of Reciprocity

​

1. Automatic Treaty Integration
   All treaties, international declarations, and conventions ratified by the United States shall hold automatic legal effect within the Maya-We Nation—including, but not limited to:

   • Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961)

   • UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)

   • International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)

   • International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)

   • Convention against Torture (CAT)

2. Supreme Law Applicability
   Citing U.S. Constitution Article VI, all ratified treaties are considered the supreme law of the land—and therefore binding on U.S. federal and territorial entities, including Puerto Rico. The Maya-We Nation, in adopting these instruments, extends full legal parity to the U.S. and host governments under customary international law (CIL).

 

Article II – Equal Obligation of Parties

​

1. Maya-We Obligations
   The Maya-We Nation pledges to uphold:

   • The principles of diplomatic inviolability

   • Due process in all intergovernmental interactions

   • Cultural respect and adherence to host nation laws, where not in contradiction with international or Indigenous rights

2. Obligations of Host Governments
   U.S. and Puerto Rican officials must:

   • Recognize and respect Maya-We diplomatic credentials and immunities

   • Abide by international law protections afforded to Indigenous nations and diplomatic agents

   • Refrain from harassment, undue detention, or denial of lawful Indigenous rights

   • Puerto Rico Law 2‑2014 recognizes and affirms Taíno people and their descendants by embedding UNDRIP principles in local law further legally binds PR to respect Indigenous legal institutions.

3. Legal Parity Clause
   Any law, code, or action enforceable against Maya-We officials by a host nation shall be equally enforceable in reverse against said host if reciprocal standards are violated.

​

Article III – Violations and Remedies

​

1. Violations by Maya-We Officers
   Officers of the Maya-We Nation who:

   • Violate international agreements

   • Breach diplomatic conduct

   • Or compromise the dignity of foreign counterparts

   ...shall face internal judicial review and, if applicable, coordinated accountability with the host nation under Articles of Governance §VI–2 of the Maya-We Constitution.

2. Violations by External Authorities
   Any external official or agency who:

   • Illegally detains, harasses, or disrespects the diplomatic status of a Maya-We ambassador, official, or Marshal

   • Refuses to honor treaty or international legal obligations

   • Or willfully disregards lawful identification

   ...shall be subject to:

   • International reporting via the OHCHR, UN Human Rights Council, and appropriate Indigenous rights forums

   • Filing of legal grievances through diplomatic protest letters

   • Official request for federal investigation via the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division or the U.S. State Department’s Office of Treaty Compliance

3. Sanctions & Judicial Escalation
   Repeated or egregious violations may result in:

   • Public diplomatic condemnation

   • International notification to human rights tribunals

   • Suspension of Maya-We cooperative efforts with said entity until compliance is restored

​

Article IV – Enforcement & Oversight

​

1. Department of Diplomatic & International Affairs
   Will serve as the chief enforcement and review body for this Act. All reports, notices, and compliance inquiries shall be processed and recorded by this department.

2. Verification & Notice
   All official documents issued under the Maya-We Nation must contain language referencing this Act. A notice of compliance reciprocity shall be included on:

   • Diplomatic IDs

   • Letters of Credence

   • Official Diplomatic Vehicle documentation

   • Verification portals and digital seals

​

Closing Declaration

​

The Maya-We Nation believes in lawful mutual recognition, peaceful coexistence, and unwavering adherence to treaties and international law. In honoring these rights and obligations, the Nation calls upon all counterparts to do the same.

​

"Only in shared respect can peace walk freely. Guakia'to yukayeke — we are blessed in unity."
