“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

On the Unlawful Detention of Four Foreign Nationals by a British Authority Without Diplomatic Consultation

Reference Code: ADD-A12-CITIZENSHIP
Court File Name: 2025-07-15_Addendum_ChildCitizenship_CrossBorderJurisdiction.pdf
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Summary: Legal confirmation that all four children are sole U.S. citizens and are entitled to international protection, consular oversight, and cross-border legal respect.


United States v Westminster City Council


I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services removed four American children — Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir — from their home on 23 June 2025, issuing an Emergency Protection Order without acknowledging or accommodating the children’s sole U.S. citizenship.

Despite this being a cross-border matter, no U.S. Embassy engagement has occurred. All children remain under foreign state control without lawful consular access, digital communication, or proper cultural rights.


II. What the Addendum Establishes

  • All children are U.S. citizens only — born on U.S. soil, with no U.K. citizenship.

  • The EPO has not been reviewed by diplomatic monitors.

  • No Hague or Vienna Convention provisions have been invoked.

  • The court is being asked to proceed as if the children are British minors, when in fact they are foreign nationals entitled to international protection.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Westminster cannot unilaterally detain children of a sovereign nation without accountability.
Because international treaties were designed to prevent this very overreach.
Because silence from the Local Authority is not procedural neutrality — it is jurisdictional negligence.


IV. Legal and Treaty Violations

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (Article 36) – Right to consular notification and oversight

  • Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980) – Cross-border custody interference

  • European Convention on Human Rights (Article 8) – Family and national identity

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (Articles 9, 12, 30) – Right to identity, expression, and cultural belonging

  • 7 FAM 1700–1900 (U.S. State Dept.) – Mandatory diplomatic awareness in custody disputes abroad


V. SWANK’s Position

The court and the Local Authority must recognise the international scope of this case.
To continue without acknowledging the children's citizenship status is to unlawfully override international safeguards.
This is not a domestic protection matter.
This is a cross-border interference in the lives of four sovereign citizens.

SWANK asserts that the children’s removal — absent any U.S. diplomatic review — constitutes a procedural breach, a diplomatic concern, and a violation of treaty law.
