The Republic of Lomar was founded in 1997
and derives her existence from the following facts and principles:
1. Articles 2, 13 and 15 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
"No distinction shall be made on the
basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory
to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under
any other limitation of sovereignty."
"Everyone
has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his
country."
"
Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily
deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality."
Since
the establishment of our citizenship program, upwards of 4,500 persons have applied to
receive invitation to become (dual)citizens of the Republic of Lomar - many of whom now
carry a Lomar passport and International Identification Card.
(Note: The
application for citizenship is in fact "a request to be considerated for a
citizenship invitation". This indirect system is used to ensure compliance with dual
citizenship regulations in most countries).
2. International law regarding
non-territorial sovereignty
It is a fact of
international law that the sovereignty of a nation or other entity is not conditioned by
"territorial imperium", as established by the status of the Sovereign Military
Order of Malta and of the Holy See between 1870 and 1945. In addition, the international
status of embassies cut off from the main territory after illegal occupation confirms that
embassies are indeed sovereign territory under international law. Therefore any act of
formal recognition creates some form of "territorial imperium" - this is how the
state of Vatican City has more sovereign territory abroad than within the wall of the
Vatican itself.
3. Autonomous operation of an
extra-jurisdictional government
The Republic of
Lomar, with a population comparable to many small UN member nations and territories is a
functionally sovereign entity with an independent government and a network of diplomatic
representatives in more than 12 countries. The information revolution of the Internet has
created a sovereign domain of commercial, cultural and governmental activities that create
the operational and legal background for this self-regulating status. Taking advantage of
all available technologies and in harmony with the principles of international relations,
the Republic of Lomar has established herself:
- as a citizenship center
- as an information source
- as a cultural center
- as a de-facto diplomatic partner
- as a Human Rights advocacy
organization
4. The need for a Human Rights
focused diplomatic jurisdiction
The Republic of
Lomar is an active diplomatic partner of parliaments and representative missions
worldwide. Our goal is to make sure that unresolved human rights issue find reasonable and
peaceful resolution, such as in Tibet, Cyprus, East-Timor etc. It must be clearly stated
that this diplomatic support is in accordance with the principles of the UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization) and
excludes resort to terrorism as a means to achieve such resolution.
