Summary: A formal submission to the President of the Family Division detailing Westminster’s violation of international law, domestic procedure, and basic diplomacy in the removal and subsequent silencing of four U.S. citizen children under the guise of emergency safeguarding.
I. What Happened
On 23 June 2025, Westminster Children’s Services executed a police-assisted Emergency Protection Order (EPO)removing four dual-national children — all U.S. citizens — without prior judicial notice, legal transparency, or consular communication.
Despite the Vienna Convention’s explicit requirements, the U.S. Embassy was not informed.
Post-removal, Westminster imposed severe communication restrictions — children barred from contact, from private speech, and from educational access — effectively enacting diplomatic isolation under a social work logo.
On 26 June 2025, this urgent submission was sent directly to the President of the Family Division, copied to judicial, legal, and diplomatic recipients, demanding intervention for:
Breach of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963, Articles 36 & 37).
Obstruction of lawful contact between parent and children.
Procedural misconduct in the enforcement and continuation of the EPO.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Westminster breached international treaty obligations by failing to notify the U.S. Embassy.
• Safeguarding powers were misused as a retaliatory response to prior legal filings.
• Contact restrictions have caused documented emotional harm.
• The removal and isolation of U.S. citizen minors constitute diplomatic interference beyond the lawful scope of child protection.
• Procedural correspondence was issued and timestamped — forming part of the formal international record now accessible via the SWANK archive.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To preserve the evidentiary chain linking Westminster’s actions to diplomatic misconduct.
• To elevate the issue from domestic litigation to international oversight.
• To assert that human rights violations do not become lawful by bureaucratic repetition.
• Because a letter to the President of the Family Division should never have been necessary — and yet it was.
IV. Applicable Standards & Authorities
International Law
• Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), Articles 36 & 37 — consular notification mandatory in all cases involving foreign nationals.
• UNCRC Articles 3, 9, 12, 16, 37 — best interests, family unity, freedom from arbitrary interference.
Domestic Law
• Children Act 1989, s.44 — misuse of EPO power without proportional necessity.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 (ECHR) — unlawful interference with family life.
• Equality Act 2010, ss.6 & 149 — breach of public sector equality duty concerning disability and nationality.
Academic Authorities
• Bromley Family Law (15th ed.) — condemns failure to observe procedural safeguards in emergency removals.
• Amos Human Rights Law — defines retaliatory safeguarding as unlawful under international and domestic human rights standards.
V. SWANK’s Position
“This is not mere oversight.
This is jurisdictional illiteracy performed as governance.”
SWANK London Ltd. holds that Westminster’s conduct has not only violated domestic law but degraded the reputation of the United Kingdom’s safeguarding apparatus in the international arena.
It is an act of procedural vanity with diplomatic consequence — the bureaucratic equivalent of burning a treaty for sport.
SWANK will continue to forward this documentation to both the U.S. Embassy and State Department under Articles 36–37 of the Vienna Convention, ensuring that diplomatic notification occurs whether or not Westminster consents to legality.
