Summary: Westminster denies the U.S. citizenship of four children and the doctoral standing of their mother, reducing an international matter to parochial theatre.
I. What Happened
Four children, all U.S. citizens, were seized under a British Emergency Protection Order. Their mother, a doctoral candidate at an American university, is conducting internationally supervised research on safeguarding misuse. Despite this, Westminster has acted as though the international dimension does not exist.
II. What the Document Establishes
Nationality Erased: U.S. citizenship ignored in order to simplify jurisdiction.
Academic Oversight Denied: The doctoral research dimension treated as irrelevant.
Procedural Defect: Emergency and interim orders obtained without disclosure of nationality.
Fear-Driven Conduct: Denial motivated by fear of escalation, oversight, and exposure.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Legal Relevance: Nationality is a determinative factor under Children Act 1989, Vienna Convention, UNCRC.
Pattern Recognition: Westminster silences international context as it silences mothers and children.
Historical Preservation: Records cowardice as method — jurisdiction denied to protect institutional narrative.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Children Act 1989, s.22(4) – duty to consider background and nationality.
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963) – U.S. citizens entitled to consular protection.
ECHR, Articles 8 & 14 – discriminatory interference with family life.
UNCRC, Articles 2 & 8 – preservation of nationality and identity.
Re B (A Child) [2016] UKSC 4 – proportionality must account for nationality.
Neulinger & Shuruk v Switzerland (2010) – international identity is binding, not optional.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not local safeguarding.
This is international misconduct masquerading as care.
SWANK does not accept jurisdictional erasure.
SWANK rejects cowardice dressed as neutrality.
SWANK records that to deny jurisdiction is to deny reality — a denial already collapsing into international scandal.
