Law of Trust

---

The Moorish National Republic of Peace (M.N.R.P.) is a sovereign government-in-exile and a self-governing religious nation-state, holding full jurisdiction over its Nationals, Citizens, and all property under its administration. As the Trustee for all Moroccan Nationals who have pledged their allegiance, M.N.R.P. governs in accordance with its Constitution, the Law of Nations, and recognized principles of international law.

The Constitution of M.N.R.P. establishes personal and subject matter jurisdiction over all Moroccan Nationals and their property. Jurisdiction is the power to declare the law, and M.N.R.P. retains exclusive legal authority over all matters within its governance (Capron v. Van Noorden, 6 U.S. 126, 1804).

Real property under the control of M.N.R.P. is governed solely by its national laws and remains free from external regulation or statutory imposition by any foreign authority, including the United States, Union States, several States, or any Foreign States. The validity of real property trusts is determined by the law of situs, affirming that property held under M.N.R.P.’s trust system is administered according to Moorish national law and international trust principles, not foreign legislation.

As an independent sovereign entity, M.N.R.P. operates under the legal principles of sovereign immunity, ensuring that it cannot be sued, taxed, or legislated against by external governments or corporate entities.

Under international law, sovereign states are granted absolute or restrictive foreign sovereign immunity, protecting them from the jurisdiction of foreign courts and the enforcement of foreign statutes upon their government, assets, or officials.

1. The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) – 28 U.S.C. §§ 1602-1611
   
   • The FSIA establishes that a sovereign government is immune from lawsuits in foreign courts, unless it has explicitly waived immunity or engaged in certain commercial activities.
   • M.N.R.P., as a sovereign Moroccan government-in-exile, does not engage in commercial transactions that would subject it to foreign jurisdiction, thereby retaining absolute immunity under this principle.

1. The United Nations Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and Their Property (2004)
   
   • Article 5: "A state enjoys immunity from the jurisdiction of the courts of another state, subject to exceptions recognized under international law."
   • M.N.R.P., as a foreign self-governing dominion, falls under this classification and cannot be subjected to foreign judicial processes, taxation, or regulatory enforcement.

1. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933)
   
   • This treaty affirms that a sovereign state must possess:
     • A permanent population
     • A defined territory
     • A government
     • The capacity to engage in international relations
   • M.N.R.P. meets all four criteria and therefore enjoys full state sovereignty, recognized under international law.

1. 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(14) – Definition of a Foreign State
   
   • This statute defines a "foreign state" to include self-governing dominions and territories.
   • M.N.R.P., as an independent sovereign dominion, qualifies as a separate foreign state, meaning U.S. statutes and state laws do not apply to its governance or trust property.

The Moorish National Republic of Peace administers private, sovereign trusts that are protected under international and common law. Trust assets, including real and personal property, are immune from foreign taxation, tariffs, customs, and statutory control, in accordance with:

• Berry v. McCourt, 204 N.E.2d 235 (1965) – An Express Trust is a contractual relationship, not subject to statutory control.
• Smith v. Morse, 2 Cal. 524 – No foreign law may impair or obstruct contract rights, which are protected under Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.
• Eliot v. Freeman, 220 U.S. 178 (1911) – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Express Trusts are not subject to legislative restrictions, reaffirming the sovereign nature of trust governance.

Under these precedents, the corpus (body) of the trust, including all real and personal property, Beneficiaries, and Trustees, remains immune from U.S. and foreign statutory codes, taxation, and regulatory oversight.

The Moorish National Republic of Peace (M.N.R.P.) is a sovereign Moroccan Government-in-Exile, holding full jurisdiction over its Nationals and property. As a recognized foreign state and independent government, M.N.R.P. enjoys full sovereign immunity from external legal claims, taxation, and regulatory enforcement.

The Supreme Religious Council (SRC) and the Grand Wazir serve as the official diplomatic authorities of M.N.R.P., ensuring that its sovereignty and legal protections remain enforced under international law.
