Introduction
The Sovereign Independent State of the Caribbean Diaspora (SISCAD)
is a state without borders that is comprised of the sovereign peoples of
the Caribbean and the Caribbean diaspora the world over, each
individual being sovereign in his or her own right; recognizing no Crown,
Country, Government, Parliament, Party, Common Goal or Common
Good as being sovereign more than one's self and the best interests of
one's self.
The state takes its sovereignty from the collective sovereignty of the
people that comprise it and from their political will to be governed under
this Constitution that assures and protects their rights and demands their
responsibility to respect and protect others' rights to their life, liberty,
persons and property, and to participate in the affairs and maintenance
of the state through wilfully contributing to voluntary 4% income tax,
exercising their right to vote and run for office, participating in referenda
and holding their government accountable.
SISCAD was inspired by the creation of the federation of British West
Indies as provided for by the British Caribbean Federation Act of
1956 and the West Indies (Federation) Order in Council of 1957, the
creation of CARICOM as provided for by the Treaty of Chaguaramas
Establishing the Caribbean Community including the CARICOM Single
Market and Economy of 1973, and the creation of the State of the
African Diaspora (SOAD) as provided for by the Constitution of the State
of the African Diaspora (2018), the By-Laws of the Parliament of the
State of the African Diaspora, the SOAD Electoral Code, the SOAD Law
on Citizenship and Nationality, the SOAD Law on Restitution, or Rather
Reconquest, and the SOAD Law on Culture, Ethnocide and Sovereignty.
These documents, which are to be found in the Schedule/Appendix,
create the framework and the dream of a possibility for a unified
Caribbean; a dream that is yet to be realized, but is an absolute
necessity for the peoples of the Caribbean to progress and thrive. The
book The Caribbean Unification Project: Using Our Collective Strength
to Overcome Our Individual Weaknesses by Bentley Walker (2021)
provided the motivation and impetus, however, to materialize the unified
state for the sake of our economic, social and collective individual
benefit and development. The Caribbean Unification Project (2021)
brought to light the damage done to our people through colonization, an
effect which continues to ripple throughout history to present day,
resulting in our dividedness, stagnation and failure to materialize
economic growth and reduction of crime and poverty.
The United Independents' Congress (UIC) Jamaica, its policies and
governance structure as articulated by its founder, Joseph L Patterson,
in the Constitution of the United Independents' Congress of Jamaica and
the Manifesto of the United Independents' Congress of Jamaica, which
can both be found in the Schedule/Appendix, and also through many
video recordings on the UIC Liberty TV YouTube channel, all provide the
framework by which we can overcome the damage of colonialism foisted
on our ancestors and present day peoples, and progress in liberty, unity
and prosperity, and charter a future of possibility, opportunity,
accountability, order and justice for generations to come.
Preamble
Being knowledgeable of the fact that the poverty afflicting the countries
and peoples of the Caribbean is caused by and is proportional to the
predatory reaping of the resources of the region for the benefit of
external countries and powers with no comparable benefit for the
peoples of the region, in addition to predatory economic practices where
these external countries buy our raw materials at a cheap price only to
resell the manufactured products from our raw materials to us at
exorbitant prices in their currency which we have to buy from them, in
addition to the practice of Caribbean governments overinflating
currencies in order to attract foreign investments and increase their own
earnings while driving up the cost of living for Caribbean peoples,
Being cognizant that crime and other social ills stem from the poverty
caused by these and other unfavourable economic practices in addition
to religious systems that teach us separation of self from the other and
self from nature instead of the unity that was apparent in our original
Afrocentric and Indocentric societies before conquest and colonialism, in
addition to a mostly Eurocentric education system that teaches our
students to obey rather than to critique and innovate, and to work in
factories and government agencies for the benefit of national
governments who are pawns to external powers, rather than teaching
them to analyze supply and demand, to invest, to build businesses,
opportunities and networks,
Being convinced that the political and economic unification of the
Caribbean and the pursuit of Caribbean-centric goals are the ways to
develop the region and make us truly independent and prosperous,
Being convinced also that the Eurocentric and colonial political,
economic and cultural structures ingrained in our collective societies are
barriers to our success and fulfilment,
Desiring the prosperity of the people of the Caribbean region and our
strength through unification,
Realizing that the elected governments have not demonstrated the
resolve and desire to pursue Caribbean unification and prosperity, but
are more interested in their own personal, partisan and nationalistic
ideals and pursuits,
Believing that political power and sovereignty resides in the peoples of
the Caribbean, and must be achieved by the people, and that legitimacy
to govern resides with the consent of the people,
Resolving that the collective and individual best interests of the people
must never be allowed to be bought out by any external powers or
interests, nor by any internal colonial, immoral capitalist or terrorist
powers or interests, but that strong, transparent accountability, equity
and checks and balances must be maintained,
Resolving also that the peoples of the Caribbean have an inherent right
to their lives, persons, property and liberty, which no individual nor group
of persons, whether a recognized government or other group, may
violate,
In light of Article 21 (3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
which states, “The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of
government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine
elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be
held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures,”
And in light of Article 20 (1) and (2) of the African Charter on Human and
People’s Rights, which state, “All peoples have the right to existence.
They shall have the unquestionable and inalienable right to self-
determination. They shall freely determine their political status and shall
pursue their economic and social development according to the policy
they have freely chosen” and “Colonized and oppressed peoples shall
have the right to free themselves from the bonds of domination by
resorting to any means recognized by the international community,”
And in the spirit of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples, which state in its Articles 3 – 5 that, “Indigenous
peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right, they
freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic,
social and cultural development,” and that “Indigenous peoples, in
exercising their right to self-determination, have the right to autonomy or
self-government in matters relating to their internal and local affairs, as
well as means for financing their autonomous functions,” and
furthermore that, “Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and
strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural
institutions, while retaining their rights to participate fully, if they so
choose, in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the State,”
We, the peoples of the Caribbean, being the direct children or
descendants of the region, do unite as the Sovereign Independent State
of the Caribbean Diaspora (SISCAD) for the achievement of the
unification, development and progress of the Caribbean region and its
people, in promotion of collective responsibility and mutual respect for
each individual's right to their life, person, property and liberty, and in
recognition and promotion of the National Liberation & Unification Party,
which, when installed in each Caribbean country, shall bring these ideals
to reality.

level, who subscribe to our philosophy, mission and values which are centred
around the protection of the right of every individual to choose what is best for
themselves while respecting the life, liberty and property of others.

5.4 To form and maintain organizational units at the national,

county, parish, constituency, division and sub-divisional levels to achieve the
vision, mission and objectives of the party by empowering the citizens to take
charge of their own families, communities and country.

5.5 To work in solidarity with others to replace the system of

enjoys equal opportunity, equal rights and equal justice; and may live, work, and

characterized by a highly educated, productive and patriotic citizenry.
 5.7 To rekindle and nurture a voluntary spirit of caring, cooperative
and compassionate individuals who value their individual and collective freedom,
and who cherish family, community and country.

5.8 To champion the Non-Partisan Democratic Republic; where the

residents of each county, parish, constituency and division are free to nominate
and elect qualified candidates from among themselves to represent their collective
interest without being unduly influenced or manipulated by any special interest
groups, political parties or those with significant financial means or backing.

5.9 To create a truly free-market economy with a large variety of

small, medium and big businesses, while restoring and protecting the right of
every citizen to import and export, buy and sell, whatever they wish from
whomever they wish, at whatever price they may agree on, without third-party or
government interference; provided they do not use force or fraud in conducting
their transactions and do not infringe on the life, liberty or property of others.

5.10 To protect and preserve the natural environment by promoting an

ecologically friendly culture and sustainable development policies that result in
clean water, organic food and energy security.

5.11 To end the cycle of boom and bust debt-based inflationary economics

unsuspecting citizens.

5.12 To protect the right of every adult individual of sound mind to do with
their life, liberty and property as they see fit, regardless of their age, gender, sex,

the life, liberty and property of any other individual or persons.

5.13 To protect the right of every citizen not to be taxed for government
corruption and waste by abolishing all taxes, including the property tax, and
replacing them with a single personal and corporate income tax and a sales tax
not exceeding ten percent (10%) each; and by limiting the budget of the
government to this source of income and any legitimate cost-recovery user fees
and fines as its only sources of income.

5.14 To implement a strict, transparent and simplified government

accounting, reporting and taxation system that makes it very easy for citizens to
be tax compliant and be very informed concerning public revenues, expenses and
debts.

5.15 To stop the government from borrowing beyond its ability to pay by
outlawing operating deficit spending and restricting capital expenditure to special
capital taxes that must be approved directly by citizens via two-thirds majority
referendums and be paid off by the generation that voted for it.
 6. Each NLUP, by whatever name it is called, in the country in
which it is installed, registered and operated, shall follow and
operate under the principles of UIC Jamaica, to which it may add
others, these principles being:
1. Personal Liberty:
Individuals are inherently free to make choices for themselves and must accept
responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. Our support of an
individual’s right to make choices in life does not mean that we necessarily approve or
disapprove of those choices. No individual, group, or government may rightly initiate
force against any other individual, group, or government. The citizens reject the
notion that groups have inherent rights. We support the rights of the smallest minority,
the individual.
2. Self-Ownership:
Individuals own their bodies and have rights over them that other individuals, groups,
and governments may not violate. Individuals have the freedom and responsibility to
decide what they knowingly and voluntarily consume, and what risks they accept to
their own health, finances, safety, or life.
3. Expression and Communication:
We support full freedom of expression and oppose government censorship, regulation,
or control of communications media and technology. We favour the freedom to
engage in or abstain from any religious activities that do not violate the rights of
others. We oppose government actions which either aid or attack any religion.
4. Privacy:
We uphold individual privacy and government transparency. We are committed to
ending the government’s practice of spying on everyone. We support the rights to be
secure in our persons, homes, property, and communications. Protection from
unreasonable search and seizure should include records held by third parties, such as
bank accounts, email, medical, and library records.
5. Parental Rights:
Parents, or other guardians, have the right to raise their children according to their
own standards and beliefs, provided that the rights of children to be free from abuse
and neglect are also protected.
6. Crime and Justice:
Government force must be limited to the protection of the rights of individuals to life,
liberty, and property, and governments must never be permitted to violate these rights.
Laws should be limited in their application to violations of the rights of others through
force or fraud, or to deliberate actions that place others involuntarily at significant risk
of harm. Therefore, we favour the repeal of all laws creating “crimes” without victims,
such as gambling, the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes, and
consensual transactions involving sexual services. We support restitution to the victim
to the fullest degree possible at the expense of the criminal or the negligent
wrongdoer. The constitutional rights of the criminally accused, including due process,
a speedy trial, legal counsel, trial by jury, and the legal presumption of innocence until
proven guilty, must be preserved. We assert the common-law right of juries to judge
not only the facts but also the justice of the law. We oppose the prosecutorial practice
of “over-charging” in criminal prosecutions to avoid jury trials by intimidating
defendants into accepting plea bargains.
7. Death Penalty:
We oppose the administration of the death penalty by the state. Only an infallible God
can ensure that the party pronounced guilty is guilty. The death penalty is irreversible
and as such is an unwise power to vest in the hands of any man or woman.
8. Self-Defence:
The only legitimate use of force is in defence of individual rights — life, liberty, and
justly acquired property — against aggression. This right inheres in the individual,
who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual
right to responsibly keep and bear arms and oppose the prosecution of individuals for
exercising their rights of self-defence.
9. Economic Liberty:
We want all members of society to have abundant opportunities to achieve economic
success. A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient
manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others in the free
market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect
property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary
trade is protected. All efforts by the government to redistribute wealth, or to control or
manage trade, are improper in a free society.
10. Property and Contract:
As respect for property rights is fundamental to maintaining a free and prosperous
society, it follows that the freedom to contract to obtain, retain, profit from, manage,
or dispose of one’s property must also be upheld. Property owners must be freed from
government property taxes and restrictions on their rights to control and enjoy their
property, as long as their choices do not harm or infringe on the rights of others.
Eminent domain, civil asset forfeiture, governmental limits on profits, governmental
production mandates, and governmental controls on prices of goods and services
(including wages, rents, and interest) are abridgements of such fundamental rights. For
voluntary dealings among private entities, parties should be free to choose with whom
they trade and set whatever trade terms are mutually agreeable.
11. Environment:
Competitive free markets and property rights stimulate the technological innovations
and behavioural changes required to protect our environment and ecosystems. Private
landowners and conservation groups have a vested interest in maintaining natural
resources. Governments are unaccountable for damage done to our environment and
have a terrible track record when it comes to environmental protection. Protecting the
environment requires a clear definition and enforcement of individual rights and
responsibilities regarding resources like land, water, air, and wildlife. Where damages
can be proven and quantified in a court of law, restitution to the injured parties must
be required.
12. Energy and Resources:
While energy is needed to fuel a modern society, the government should not be
subsidizing any particular form of energy. We oppose all government control of
energy pricing, allocation, and production.
13. Government Finance and Spending:
All persons are entitled to keep the fruits of their labour and spend their earnings as
they see fit. To this end, we limit the Government to revenues of no more than 10% of
all individuals’ earnings to fund spending on public goods and services that will
ensure a safe, clean and orderly environment wherein everyone may live, work and
retire with dignity in a truly free and fair market economy. To fund humanitarian
crises, including the proper nutrition, education, healthcare and housing of the poor,
we propose that Government collect a sales tax of 10% which shall be designated for
these purposes. No child should be denied the benefit of basic education, good
nutrition, decent housing or healthcare. The parents (father and mother) must be held
accountable, but the child should not suffer in the process.
14. Government Debt:
The government should not incur debt at interest, but should instead operate on a
balanced budget formula of no more than 10% of the income generated by residents
and print only as much money as can be absorbed by true productivity growth while
protecting the purchasing power of senior citizens by avoiding artificial inflation,
devaluation and deflation at all cost.
15. Government Employees:
We favour repealing any requirement that one must join or pay dues to a union as a
condition of government employment. We advocate replacing defined-benefit
pensions with defined-contribution plans, as are commonly offered in the private
sector, so as not to impose debt on future generations without their consent.
16. Government Regulation:
Economic freedom is one of many catalysts for true prosperity in societies. We
recognize this and thus move to empower the Government's Regulatory role by
ensuring that no force, fraud or breaking of just and objective laws goes unpunished in
our society.
17. Money and Financial Markets:
We favour free-market banking, with unrestricted competition among banks and
depository institutions of all types. Markets are not free unless fraud is vigorously
combated. Those who enjoy the possibility of profits must not impose risks of losses
upon others, such as through government guarantees or bailouts. We support ending
student loan guarantees and special treatment of student loan debt in bankruptcy
proceedings. Individuals engaged in voluntary exchange should be free to use as
money any mutually agreeable commodity or item. We support a halt to inflationary
monetary policies and unconstitutional legal tender laws.
18. Marketplace Freedom:
We support free markets. We defend the right of individuals to form corporations,
cooperatives and other types of entities based on voluntary association. We oppose all
forms of government subsidies and bailouts to business, labour, or any other special
interest. The government should not compete with private enterprise.
19. Licensing:
We support the right of every person to earn an honest and peaceful living through the
free and voluntary exchange of goods and services. Accordingly, we oppose
occupational and other licensing laws that infringe on this right or treat it as a state-
granted privilege. We encourage certifications by voluntary associations of
professionals.
20. Labour Markets:
Employment and compensation agreements between private employers and employees
are outside the scope of government, and these contracts should not be encumbered by
government-mandated benefits or social engineering. We support the right of private
employers and employees to choose whether or not to bargain with each other through
a labour union. Bargaining should be free of government interference, such as
compulsory arbitration or imposing an obligation to bargain.
21. Education:
Education is best provided by the free market, achieving greater quality,
accountability, and efficiency with more diversity of choice. Recognizing that the
education of children is a parental responsibility, we would restore authority to parents
to determine the education of their children, without interference from the
government. Parents should have control of and responsibility for all funds expended
for their children’s education.
22. Health Care:
We favour a free-market health care system as opposed to the existing system that
does not support freedom of choice. We recognize the freedom of individuals to
determine the level of health insurance they want (if any), the level of health care they
want, the care providers they want, the medicines and treatments they will use and all
other aspects of their medical care, including end-of-life decisions. People should be
free to purchase health insurance from whom and as they see fit.
23. Securing Liberty:
The protection of individual rights is the only proper purpose of government.
Government is to be constitutionally limited to prevent the infringement of individual
rights by the government itself. The principle of non-initiation of force should guide
the relationships between governments.
24. Retirement and Income Security:
Retirement planning is the responsibility of the individual, not the government. All
government-sponsored systems shall transition to private voluntary systems. The
proper and most effective source of help for the poor is the voluntary efforts of private
groups and individuals. We believe members of society will become even more
charitable and civil society will be strengthened as the government reduces its activity
in this realm.
25. National Defence:
We support the maintenance of a sufficient military to defend our country against
aggression. We should both avoid entangling alliances and oppose any attempt by any
country to act as a policeman for the world. We oppose any form of compulsory
national service.
26. Internal Security and Individual Rights:
The defence of the country requires that we have adequate intelligence to detect and to
counter threats to domestic security. This requirement must not take priority over
maintaining the civil liberties of our citizens. The Constitution and Bill of Rights shall
not be suspended even during a time of war. Intelligence agencies that legitimately
seek to preserve the security of the nation must be subject to oversight and
transparency. We oppose the government’s use of secret classifications to keep from
the public information that it should have, especially that which shows that the
government has violated the law. We oppose the use of torture and other cruel and
unusual punishments, without exception.
27. International Affairs:
Foreign policy should seek a state at peace with the world. Our foreign policy should
emphasize defence against attack from abroad and enhance the likelihood of peace by
avoiding foreign entanglements. We oppose any policy of foreign intervention,
including military and economic aid. We recognize the right of all people to resist
tyranny and defend themselves and their rights. We condemn the use of force, and
especially the use of terrorism, against the innocent, regardless of whether such acts
are committed by governments or by political or revolutionary groups.
28. Free Trade and Migration:
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom
and escape from tyranny demand that individuals are not unreasonably constrained by
government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the
unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.
29. Self Determination:
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of individual liberty, it is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to agree to such new governance as to
them shall seem most likely to protect their liberty.
30. Rights and Discrimination:
We embrace the concept that all people are born with certain inherent rights. We
reject the idea that a natural right can ever impose an obligation upon others to fulfil
that “right.” The government should neither deny nor abridge any individual’s human
rights. Members of private organizations retain their rights to set whatever standards
of association they deem appropriate, and individuals are free to respond with
ostracism, boycotts, and other free-market solutions.
7. These thirty principles of the National Liberation & Unification
Party in the countries in which they shall be installed are also the
principles of SISCAD and SISCAD government.
8. For the avoidance of doubt, the United Independents'
Congress of Jamaica, otherwise called UIC Jamaica, or the UIC, or
by whatever name it may be called in the future, is taken as the
NLUP operating in Jamaica.

Article 18 - Caribbean Economic Council
