The US legally declared war on the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. It was legal under the laws of the United States, so trying to use the illegal angle is going to get nowhere.
If the Hawaii people could get together more, they could issue a declaration stating the Kingdom of Hawaii never surrendered and that Hawaii was still at war with the United States. Then, they have a case where they can go to the World Court and make the point the invasion by the United States was an act of imperialist aggression, unprovoked and that Hawaii was never a threat or exhibited any hostility to the United States. Making the case before the World Court may not have any effective outcome but it would set a foundation for taking future legal action. This could be done without resolving the monarchy or nation issue if enough Hawaiians (50% by bloodline) would sign to the declaration.
