Motion for oral argument in Sai v Obama, and or06/20/2011 Civil Action No. 1998-1192

SUNUNU, et al v. PHILIPPINE AIRLINESDoc No.64(memorandum opinion)by Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth

Since Sai v Obama could mean the US had a claim of right in the

plane as property of the US under the law of nations, or as

concurrent property under the 1944 Convention on International Civil

Aviation, articles 1721, we pray the Court reconsider her decision and

declare baby Kevin to be a US citizen at birth within the jurisdiction

of the Court pending final resolution of the Sununu claims against

Philippine Airlines. Even putative pending status of the motion for

reconsideration could be sufficient to color cognizable claims (8 USC

1503) for the birth of the child en route to US soil with American

nationality and Hawaiian citizenship.

1 USC 8 and the Siljander Amendment, provide: 8.

Person, human being, child, and individual as

including born-alive infant

(a) In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling,

regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and

agencies of the United States, the words person, human being, child,

and individual, shall include every infant member of the species homo

sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.

(b) As used in this section, the term born alive, with respect to a

member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or

extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of

development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a

Aida Alamillo, 41, went into labour while on Philippine Airlines Flight 104 from

Manila enroute to San Francisco.

At Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame, where she and her

newborn were transported upon landing in San Francisco.

At 3:25 p.m. Monday, just a few hours before the plane was set to

land, Alamillo gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Baby Kevin thus seeks to intervene, through his Relator, jus tertii, to reopen

and reconsider Sununu et al v Philippine Airlines, for the purpose of securing

his American nationality (http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/FRUS/FRUS-

WASHINGTON,. November 29, 1898.

The President wishes to know the opinion of the Commission as to inserting

in treaty provisions on the subject of citizenship of inhabitants of Philippines

which will prevent extension of that right to Mongolians and others not actually

subjects of Spain; also whether you consider it advisable to provide, if

possible, for recognition of existence of uncivilized native tribes in same

manner as in Alaska treaty, perhaps leaving to Congress to deal with status

of inhabitants by legislative act. [see http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-

Immigration,(http://www.vanuatu.usp.ac.fj/sol_adobe_documents/usp

%20only/Pacific%20law/Tagupa.pdf , also see Lesa v. The

Attorney-General ofNew Zealand [1983] 2 A.C.20. (2) Inthis case, the Privy Council held that by virtue of the British

Nationality and Status of Aliens (in NewZealand) Act 1928,

persons born in Western Samoa between 13 May 1924 and 1

January 1949 (and their descendants) are NewZealand

citizens.

2.6 It is stated that there was considerable adverse reaction in

NewZealand to the Lesa judgement, which was delivered by

the Privy Council in July 1982. It was estimated that some

100,000 Samoans out of a total population of 160,000 would

be affected by the decision.

2.7 The response of the NewZealand Government was to

negotiate a Protocol to the Treaty of Friendship between New

Zealand and Western Samoa. The Protocol was ratified on 13

September 1982 by the two parties. Within one month, the

NewZealand Government passed into law the Citizenship(Western Samoa) Act of 1982, which gave effect to the

Protocol in NewZealand, and nullified the effect of the "Lesa"

decision, except for Ms. Lesa herself and a very limited

number of persons.

The complaint

3.1 The authors claim that the Citizenship (Western Samoa)

Act 1982 has created a situation of mass denationalisation ofabout 100,000 Samoans, in violation of articles 12, paragraph

4, and 26 of the Covenant, and denies them their lawful New

Zealandcitizenship.

3.2 The authors claim that the 1982 Protocol is void under

article 53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, to

the extent that it authorises the enactment of the 1982 Act,

because it violates a norm of jus cogens, insofar as it allows

the military point of view, the Joint Chiefs of Staff consider .the fol-

lowing islands to be of sufficient, strategic importance as-to warrant

United States claim of sovereignty thereto:

Canton r(Phoenix Group)Enderbury -(Phoenix Group)

Funafuti (Ellice Group)

Christmas (Line Islands)

The importance of these islands to the United States is predicated

upon strategc, use for air bases and seaplane anchorages in the mainte-

nance of lines of communication to the Australia, New Zealand, and

Malaya (ANZAM) area. United States military interests will be best

served by establishment of full United States sovereignty over at least

these four islands.

The policy statement also says that the US should continue- to

provide the aeronautical communication services for international

aviation operations within areas under US jurisdiction, where as a

contracting state of ICAO it has accepted such responsibilities, and

that this shall be on the same basis for foreign aircraft as for UScraft. Likewise, it is to seek to assure, principally through the

ICAO machinery, that our civil aircraft are provided aeronautical

services on the same basis as are provided for foreign aircraft by

the US.

Subject: Fourth Progress Report on Implementation of NSC 15/3,

entitled: "United States Civil Aviation Policy Toward U.S.S.R.

and Its Satellites.",.

Part INo significant actions have been taken with regard to the policy

since the progress report of November 4, 1953.2 It can be noted,

however, that in view of steps taken by the Czechoslovakian Gov-

ernment to remove the causes for which a restriction on flights of

the Czechoslovakian airline, CSA, over the territory of the German

Federal Republic was originally imposed by the Occupying Powers,

the United States and France are prepared to lift this ban.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS the United States is neutral in the present war and

whereas the United States exercises sovereignty in the land and

waters of the Canal Zone and is authorized by its treaty with

Panama of February twenty-six, nineteen hundred and four, to

maintain neutrality in the cities of Panama and Colon, and the

harbors adjacent to the said cities:Now, therefore, I, WOODROW WILSON, President of the United

States of America, do hereby declare and proclaim the following

ARTICLE X


9/17

All aircraft and aviation centers in the Republic of Panama other

than those pertaining to the defensive forces of the Canal and those

owned and officially operated by the Government of Panama shall

be subject to inspection by both the United States and the PanamanGovernments to insure compliance with such rules and regulations

as may hereafter be agreed upon.

846

Aircraft owned and operated by the nationals of the United States

or Panama may operate in the Republic of Panama, provided both

the aircraft and the operators thereof hold a joint United States-

Panama license issued by a board composed of representatives of the

Governments of the United States and Panama and otherwise con-

form to restrictions recommended in the Convention for the Regula-

tion of Aerial Navigation signed at Paris, October 13, 1919, or such

other restrictions as the two countries may from time to time jointly

prescribe.

All aircraft other than those pertaining to the defensive forces

of the Canal and those owned and officially operated by the Gov-

ernment of Panama must follow routes prescribed jointly by the

United States and Panama in flying over the Republic of Panama

and must land at airports or airdromes designated jointly by the

United States and Panama and must otherwise conform to such re-

strictions as the two countries may from time to time jointly

prescribe.

In applying and enforcing the rules and regulations regarding

aircraft and aviation centers the two Governments shall regard

as the deciding factor the safety of the Panama Canal.

The Republic of Panama agrees not to permit flying in Panamanterritory over areas near the defenses of the Canal except in agree-

ment with the United States.

Article 40 of the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules


10/17

Relative to International Transportation by Air signed at Warsaw,

Poland, on October 12, 1929, reads as follows:

" (1) The High Contracting Parties may, at the time of signing, of

depositing their ratifications or adhering, declare that their acceptanceof the present Convention does not apply to all or part of their col-

onies, protectorates, territories under mandate, or any other territory

subject to their sovereignty or authority, or to any other territory under

suzerainty.

"(2) They may, accordingly, subsequently adhere separately in the

name of all or part of their colonies, protectorates, territories under

mandate, or any other territory subject to their sovereignty or author-

ity, or any other territory under suzerainty."

The American delegates to the Third International Conference on

Private Aerial Law should advocate the incorporation of a similar

article in the proposed conventions relating to (1) precautionary at-

tachment of aircraft and (2) liability for damages caused to third

parties on the surface in order that it may be discretionary with each

contracting state to have the conventions made applicable to terri-

tories under its jurisdiction. In view of the fact that these conven-

tions deal with new and untried principles, this Government considers

that, in the event that it should become a party to the conventions

their application should be limited to continental United States of

America, excluding Alaska. If, therefore, such an article is agreed to,

you should, at the time of signing the conventions, make a declaration

such as is referred to in paragraph 1 of article 40 of the Warsaw

Convention.

The comments herein made are considered necessary in order that

the American delegates to the Third International Conference on Pri-

vate Aerial Law may fully understand the aviation conditions in the17 50 Stat. 1121, 1166.

Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to the

Precautionary Attachment of Aircraft Signed at Rome, May 29,193321

ARTICLE 2

(1) By precautionary attachment within the meaning of the present

Convention shall be understood any act, whatever it may be called,

whereby an aircraft is seized, in a private interest, through the me-

dium of agents of justice or of the public administration, for the ben-

efit either of a creditor, or of the owner, or of the holder of a lien

on the aircraft, where the attaching claimant cannot invoke a judg-


12/17

ment and execution, obtained beforehand in the ordinary course of

procedure, or an equivalent right of execution.

(2) In case the applicable law gives the creditor who holds the air-

craft without the consent of the operator the right of detention, theexercise of this right shall, for the purposes of the present Conven-

tion, be the same as precautionary attachment and be governed by

the regime contemplated in the present Convention.

CONFERENCE ON PRIVATE AERIAL LAW

ARTICLE 9

(1) The present Convention shall apply on the territory of any one

of the High Contracting Parties to any aircraft registered in the

territory of another High Contracting Party.

(2) The expression "territory of a High Contracting Party" in-

cludes any territory under the sovereign power, suzerainty, protection,

mandate or authority of the said High Contracting Party, for which

the latter is a party to the Convention.

Rules and Regulations governing the Use of the Panama Canal by

Vessels of Belligerents and the Maintenance of Neutrality by the

United States in the Canal Zone, which are in addition to the

general " Rules and Regulations for the Operation and Navigation

of the Panama Canal and Approaches Thereto, including all Waters

under its jurisdiction " put into force by Executive Order of July 9,

1914, and I do bring to the attention of all concerned the Protocol of

an Agreement between the United States and the Republic of

Panaima, signed at Washington, October 10, 1914, which protocol is

hereunto annexed.

Rule -15. Aircraft of a belligerent power, public or private, areforbidden to descend or arise within the jurisdiction -of the United

States at the Canal Zone, or to pass through the air spaces above

the lands and waters within-said jurisdiction.

Legal presence, not bodily presence FAA rules apply to flights coming in to

the US, so do DHS rules.

planes, are found in Gordon, Immigration Law and Procedure, Part 8,

Nationality and Citizenship, Chapter 92, 92.03 (New York: Matthew

Bender, 2007). This volume states:

The rules applicable to vessels obviously apply equally toairplanes. Thus a child born on a plane in the United States or

flying over its territory would acquire United States citizenship at

birth.

c. Under the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation, articles 1721,

all aircraft have the nationality of the State in which they are registered,

and may not have multiple nationalities. For births, the nationality law of

the aircraft's nationality may be applicable, and for births that occur in

flight while the aircraft is not within the territory or airspace of any State,

it is the only applicable law that may be pertinent regarding acquisition of

citizenship by place of birth. However, if the aircraft is in, or flying over

the territory of another State, that State may also have concurrent

jurisdiction.

d. Cases of citizenship of persons born on planes in airspace above the

United States land territory or internal waters may be adjudicated by

passport specialists at domestic passport agencies and centers or

consular officers at posts abroad in accordance with 7 FAM 1116.

e. For cases of persons born on a plane in airspace above the U.S.

territorial sea (12 nautical mile limit):

Posts abroad should refer the case to CA/OCS/PRI

([email protected]) for decision, upon consultation with L/CA; and

Domestic Passport Agencies and Centers should refer the case to

CA/PPT/L/LA (CA/[email protected]) which will confer with

CA/OCS/PRI and L/CA.

f. Cases of persons born on planes in airspace outside the 12 nautical

mile limit would be adjudicated as a birth abroad under INA 301 (8 U.S.C.

1401) or INA 309 (8 U.S.C. 1409) as made applicable by INA 301(g).

WATERS AND U.S. AIRSPACE

(CT:CON-314;

a. Proof of birth in U.S. internal waters or U.S. airspace consists of a U.S.

birth certificate certified by the issuing authority in the U.S. jurisdiction.

b. There is no U.S. Federal law governing the report of such births.

7 FAM 1110 Page 8 of 13

U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7 - Consular Affairs

c. Generally speaking, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would

require some documentation of the birth, generally an excerpt of the

ships/aircrafts medical log or master/captains log, reflecting the time,

latitude, and longitude when the birth occurred.

d. For ships/aircraft in-bound for the United States, the parents would then

be responsible for reporting the birth to the civil authorities in the U.S.

jurisdiction where the vessel put into port. (See the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) publication Where to Write for Birth

Certificates.)

The parents will have to contact the state vital records office to

determine the exact procedures for report such a birth.

Parents should obtain a certified copy of the ships medical log,

airplanes log, or other statement from the attending physician or

other attendant and attempt to obtain information on how to

contact attendants in the future should further questions arise.

If the mother and child were immediately taken to a U.S. hospital,

authorities there may be of assistance in facilitating contact with

the appropriate state authorities.


16/17

It is unlikely that the vital records office in the parents state of

residence will issue such a birth certificate. Parents may be

redirected to the vital records office in the state where the ship first

put into port after the birth of the child.

Prayer for Relief

1. Permit intervention if necessary.

2. Issue habeas and require the Secretary of State and San Mateo Clerk

Mark Church to respond. Also require Acting Regent Dr.

David Sai to reply for the occupied Kingdom of Hawaii.

3. Declare Baby Kevin to be a US national at birth in air

occupied by the US.

4. Declare Baby Kevin to be a US national at birth under

the 13th amendment to ameliorate the racist en masse

involuntary denaturalization of the Philippine islanders

contrary their rights under the Treaty of Peace at Paris

through the Supremacy Clause, US Constitution, to

voluntary expatriation (Rabang v Boyd opines

voluntariness to the failure to naturalize from noncitizen

nationality to full citizenship when in the continental US

and finally eligible to have done so).

5. Declare Baby Kevins mommy to have a constitutional

natural right to remain in the US with her US national

child (see Kunqian Catherine Zhu, Man Lavette Chen, v Secretary of

State for the Home Department).

6. Compel the Secretary of State to issue an American passport for Baby

Kevin and his mommy. Noting American passports are issued in the

alternative, to persons with treaty rights of American protection, as our

protgs, ressortissants in the passport prayer French text, such as under theMutual Defense Treaty with the Philippines and USA.

7. Declare that international aviation law and extensive USCIS, ICE, CBP,

FAA, regulation of airlines flying into the US constitute sufficient jurisdiction for

conferral of the nationality sense of the Fourteenth Amendment for birth

subject to the jurisdiction and within the US (Sabangan v Powell holding the

CNMI, which is not a state, is deemed within the several states anyway).
