I co-authored this study with Hawaiian colleagues  At stake is not only the self-determination of the Hawaiian people, but the continuity of the Hawaiian kingdom that was illegally overthrown by the US in 1893, ushering in a century of colonialism and exploitation.  Bill Clinton’s “Apology” resolution of 1993 did not redeem the illegal aggression or reestablish the Hawaiian kingdom (see Stephen Kinzer’s book “Overthrow”).

Hawaii was never decolonized as envisaged in article 73 of the UN Charter.  It was annexed following a fraudulent “referendum”.
