Contemporary Atooi Record
Archive period: Contemporary Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi
Historical Hawaiian Kingdom records document the institutions, laws, diplomacy, and governmental activity of the historical Kingdom. Their inclusion does not by itself establish the authority of any particular contemporary claimant. Contemporary claims of continuity, succession, genealogy, or authority are documented separately.
Historical Hawaiian Kingdom documentation establishes historical facts — that a treaty, statute, decree, or diplomatic relation existed. It does not by itself prove the authority of any particular contemporary claimant. Claims of continuity between the historical Hawaiian Kingdom and the contemporary Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi are made and documented separately, on genealogical, customary, and legal grounds; they are classified as continuity claims and are neither established nor diminished by the historical documents themselves.
Description
Photographic documentation of the framed United Nations flag flown above the UN mission at the Hôtel Christopher in Port-au-Prince on 12 January 2010, the day a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti and claimed 102 United Nations personnel. Recorded by the Kingdom delegation during a visit to UN Headquarters, New York.

Evidence Classification
Artifact Record
A physical object, regalia item, or cultural material held or documented.
What this record establishes
The existence of the object and its custody or documentation as recorded.
What this record does not establish
An artifact evidences material culture and custody; it does not establish legal or political claims.
Context: United Nations Visit / Activity. Attendance or participation is not United Nations recognition, membership, accreditation as a state, or the establishment of a permanent mission.
Archive Categories
- United Nations Activity
- Attendance at, or activity on, United Nations premises or at United Nations forums. Presence or activity is not recognition, membership, or accreditation by the United Nations.
These categories represent different forms of relationship and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Traditional, Indigenous, royal, and chiefly recognition is documented on its own terms and is not treated as insignificant merely because it differs from modern interstate diplomatic recognition.
