“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

Chromatic v Westminster (Four Flags, One Rope; Jurisdiction as Overreach; Safeguarding as Arbitrary Detention)


ADDENDUM: ON THE FORTUNE OF FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP

A Mirror Court Indictment of Parochial Overreach and Multi-Sovereign Folly

Metadata

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services acted as though my four children were exclusively British wards, erasing their identities as citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Turks & Caicos Islands, and Haiti. This erasure denies diplomatic protections and distorts jurisdictional balance.

Despite formal notice to the U.S. Embassy and demonstrable international readership of the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue, Westminster persists in this parochial presumption — a wilful disregard of law, treaty, and identity.

II. What the Addendum Establishes

  • International Dimension – Four nationalities make this an international dispute, not a parochial safeguarding quarrel.

  • Protective Oversight – Consular and governmental obligations extend to the U.S., Haiti, and Turks & Caicos alongside the U.K. court.

  • Jurisdictional Conflict – Westminster’s unilateralism exposes Britain to diplomatic reproach.

  • Failure of Notification – Duties under the Hague Convention ignored.

  • Statutory Breach – Children Act 1989, s.22(4) disregarded: their wishes and identities unascertained.

III. Consequences

  • Courts risk entanglement in an international custody and rights dispute.

  • Each day of delay intensifies diplomatic exposure and strengthens the case for escalation.

  • Harm accrues: children denied consular protection, cultural continuity, and the integrity of their multi-national identities.

  • Britain itself now shoulders reputational damage for Westminster’s parochial folly.

IV. Legal and Doctrinal Violations

  • Children Act 1989, s.22(4) – children’s wishes, feelings, and identities ignored.

  • Article 8, UNCRC – right to preserve identity and nationality.

  • Article 37, UNCRC – arbitrary detention prohibited.

  • Hague Convention (1963) – duty of consular notification breached.

  • Article 8, ECHR – disproportionate interference with family life.

  • Article 6, ECHR – fairness compromised by erasure of identity.

  • Vienna Convention (1969) – good faith abandoned.

  • Equality Act 2010 – discriminatory treatment of international minors and disabled mother.

  • Re B-S (2013) – proportionality discarded.

V. SWANK’s Position

It is Britain’s peculiar fortune that these children are not simply British.
They are citizens of four sovereignties. Where Westminster binds them with one rope, SWANK declares four flags.

This is not safeguarding. It is parochial overreach: unlawful, discriminatory, and diplomatically reckless.

Closing Declaration

The Mirror Court declares:
These children carry four flags; Westminster may not erase three.
What Westminster brands as safeguarding, SWANK records as an international rights violation.
