I. Core Principle of Power

“Power is not measured by what you can crush; Power is measured by what you can refuse.”

Institutions capable of refusal (jurisdictional independence)

  • Moorish Consular Court

  • International Court of Justice

  • International Criminal Court

These bodies exercise authority by refusing unlawful acts, claims, or jurisdictional overreach.

 

II. Supreme Law of the Land — Comparative Constitutional Clauses

A. Empire of Morocco — Article 65

Treaties ratified by the Empire prevail over domestic acts and bind all judges. This mirrors the U.S. Supremacy Clause.

B. United States Constitution — Article VI, Clause 2

“All Treaties… shall be the supreme Law of the Land.”

C. Key Insight

Both systems elevate treaties above internal laws, creating a shared legal architecture for Moorish–American treaty relations.

 

III. United Nations Charter — Article 73

Non‑Self‑Governing Territories

States administering territories without full self‑government must treat the inhabitants’ interests as paramount and act under a sacred trust.

This article is central to Moorish claims of self‑determination.

V. Treaty of Peace and Friendship (1786 & 1836)

Inheritance & Consular Authority

If an American dies in Moroccan territory:

  • Consul takes possession of effects

  • If no consul, effects held by a trusted person

  • If heir is present, property delivered immediately

  • If a will exists, property descends according to the will once validated by the consul

This treaty establishes consular jurisdiction and property rights between Moors and Americans.

“Civilly dead” — a living person treated as legally nonexistent. Loses rights to:

  • Inherit

C. Common Law

Law developed through judicial decisions and precedent (stare decisis).

 

VII. ICJ Case: France v. United States (1952)

Key Holding

The U.S. had no treaty‑based “right of assent” over Moroccan laws. Consular courts applied their own law, not Moroccan law, unless the foreign state adopted Moroccan law through its own decrees.

Important Passage (from your document)

“The consular courts applied their own law… Before a consular court could give effect to a Moroccan law it was necessary for the foreign Power concerned to provide for its adoption…”

Significance

Shows limits of foreign jurisdiction in Morocco and reinforces Moroccan sovereignty.
