Communication No. 2

The following information from the Registry of Al Moroccan Empire Consulate Court of Justice has been communicated to the Press:

The Al Moroccan Empire Consulate Court of Justice on the 24th day of Safar, 1443 M.C.Y. [October 1, 2021 C.C.Y.] delivered judgment in the case concerning the Rights of Jon Woods Bey, a Moroccan national in Morocco, proceedings in which were instituted against Jon Woods Bey by an application by way of Mark D Kimball of the Killeen Municipal Court of the City of Killeen in the State of Texas of the United States Corporation (Public Law 856 Chapter 807).

The submission of the parties relates to the following principal points:

The application to Mark D Kimball representing Killeen Municipal Court of the City of Killeen and Charles F. Kimble of the Killeen Police Department in the State of Texas of the United States Corporation et al. of Misrepresented Instruments – Bills of Attainder / Bills of Exchange / Complaint Number K119860; K124904; K138920;

The extent of the State of Texas jurisdiction which the Killeen Municipal Court of the City of Killeen may exercise in District of Columbia at Washington;

The right to levy taxes on nationals of the United States in the State of Texas with particular reference to Mark D Kimball of the Killeen Municipal Court and Charles F. Kimble of the Killeen Police Department (14th Amendment US citizens) claim to a breach of contract by Jon Woods Bey, Moroccan national.

In its judgment delivered on the 24th of Safar, the Court held:

Public Law 856 Chapter 807 of August 1, 1956, exempted Moroccan Nationals from United States jurisdiction; while the United States was subjected to such jurisdiction; Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the relinquishment by the President, at such time as he considers this appropriate, of the consular jurisdiction of the United States in Morocco is here by approved and sections 1693, 4083 to 4091, inclusive, 4097 to 4122, inclusive, and 4125 to 4130, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes, as amended, are repealed effective upon the date which the President determines to be appropriate for the relinquishment of such jurisdiction, except so far as may be necessary to dispose of cases then pending in the consular courts in Morocco. The Killeen Municipal Court of the City of Killeen in the State of Texas submissions, that their jurisdictional claims over Jon Woods Bey, must be rejected.
With regard to consular jurisdiction in Morocco, the United States is entitled to exercise such jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of its Treaty with Morocco of September 16, 1836, that is to say, in all disputes, civil or criminal, between citizens or prodigies of the United States.
But the other submissions of the United States relating to consular jurisdiction are rejected: it is not entitled to exercise consular jurisdiction in other cases in Morocco. Its right in this connection, which were acquired solely by the effect of the most favored nation clause, came to an end with determination by great Britain of all its rights and privileges of a capitulatory character by the Franco-British convention of 1937.
The United States had contended that its nationals were not subject, in principle, to the application of Moroccan laws, unless these laws had received his prior assent. There is, however, no provision in any of the Treaties conferring upon the United States such a right, a right linked with the régime of capitulations which can only exist as a corollary of consular jurisdiction, so that if the co-operation of the United States Consular Courts is required to enforce a law (see 2 and 3 above), the assent of the United States is ill founded. If the application of a law to citizens of the Morocco without its assent is contrary to international law, any dispute which may arise there from should be dealt with according to the ordinary methods for the settlement of international disputes.

A declaration is appended to the judgment by Justice El, Jaleel-Hu, who expresses the opinion that the Killeen Municipal Court of the City of Killeen in the State of Texas of the United States Corporation is not entitled to exercise jurisdiction in cases involving the application to United States citizens of those provisions of Public Law 856 Chapter 807 which, for their enforcement, carried certain restrictions.

A joint dissent opinion, signed by Justice Jones-Bey, Desmond, is also appended to the Judgment.
