The judiciary interprets the law. In the case of the Hawaiian Kingdom, I believe an international court is the correct forum for your arguments of the hawaiiankingdom.org viewpoint that Hawai'i is a sovereign nation under occupation by the US.
For clarity, the Hawaiian Kingdom took a case to the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague. The US refused to participate so there could be no ruling.
You may be referring to the International Court of Justice also in The Hague - as a judiciary what laws would they be reviewing? How would this case be raised there?
I am not saying that the Hawaiian Kingdom movement is right or wrong - just trying to identify the legal forum and process by which to address their arguments.
In the meantime, acts of civil disobedience (including an acceptance of punishment) against a perceived occupier appear to be a reasonable path, with much historical precedent, to raise awareness and generate court cases to challenge up through the judicial system. IMHO
