Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland´s Request to the Government of the United States of America for Recognition as a Sovereign Independent State 1. That the people of Ireland constitute a distinct and separate nation, ethnically, historically, and tested by every standard of political science; entitled therefore, to self-determination; 2. That Ireland never voluntarily accepted British domination and that that domination has been consistently challenged through the centuries; 3. That the people of Ireland in a general and regular parliamentary election, in effect a national plebiscite, held under British supervision (thus eliminating completely any question of illegitimate influences in favor of the Republic) declared unmistakably by an overwhelming majority, their desire to be an Independent Republic - which is, therefore, and ought to be accepted by other nations as Ireland´s definite choice by self-determination; 4. That the people´s representatives elected for the purpose and summoned to meet in a National Congress (Dail Eireann) duly met in public session in the nations capital at Dublin, formally proclaimed Ireland´s independence as a Republic, and notified its establishment as a Republic to all the nations of the world; 5. That the National Congress thus assembled elected and set up a government, which government is, on democratic principles, the de jure, and has ever since been functioning in fact as the obeyed, de facto government of Ireland, entitled, therefore, to international recognition as the rightful and actual government of Ireland; 6. That the rival (British) authority in Ireland is an alien usurping authority, commanding neither the respect nor the obedience of the people of Ireland, unable even to maintain discipline among its own forces - ignored and "non-existent" save within the immediate shadow of the fortresses of the Array of Occupation, without a title, therefore, either in morality or in fact to recognition as the government of Ireland, unless, as President Cleveland expressed it, "the will of the military officer in temporary command of a particular district can be dignified as a species of government." 7. That the standards heretofore announced in principle and approved in practice by the United States, entitle Ireland to recognition from the United States. In the face of indisputable facts such as these the right of self-determination would be but a "mere phrase" indeed were the Republican Government of Ireland now to be denied recognition. Ireland A Nation The people of Ireland undoubtedly constitute a nation - one of the oldest and most clearly defined in Europe. Their nation is not a nation merely - in the sense of modern political science it was a sovereign independent state for over a thousand years knowing no external master but moulding its own institutions to its own life in accordance with its own will.
