You're missing the point. The "letter" in question from the UN bla-de-blah is about a land rights case. He is speaking to the land rights issues. As background, he states that "I have come to understand that the lawful poitical status of the Hawaiian Islands is that of a sovereign nation-state in continuity; but a nation-state that is under a strange form of occupation by the United States resulting from an illegal military occupation and a fraudulent annexation."

He then states stuff pertinent to the case. The BACKGROUND is the relevant part you need to focus on. If the United States legally took control of the Islands, he would have stated such and come to a different conclusion.

If you take his research into the topic as valid (he is supposed to be an expert), then you realize that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists and the occupying power (the USA) have to administer Hawaiian Kingdom law, not US law. To do otherwise is considered a war crime. That is what Jen is saying. She is not speaking about the land rights issues in the Bolomet case.
