Abstract
The time has come for the captive Black nation in the U.S. to analyze its struggle with respect to international law. Our struggle against U.S. imperialism confronts the dominant world power. The imperialist agenda is reflected in the process of dehumanization of the Black nation, acknowledging America as the mother ship of the wounded octopus which is now the new world order. Our mandate is to propagate and integrate the political and military objectives that represent the history of the Black Liberation Movement by comparing our struggle to those waged by ZANU, ANC, PAC, the Sandinistas, the IRA, and the Palestinians. This comparison illuminates two realities: (1) that our struggle has matured to a world perspective with specific objectives and (2) that the worldwide struggle against oppression is directly tied to our liberation. Historically, the Black liberation struggle has employed many methods and tactics, which have been very profound and remain to this day. There can be no denying the positive effects of the slogan of Black Power and the positive impact of the Black Panther Party as well as the dynamic influence that Malcolm X had on the world struggle for self-determination. In our pursuit of the application of international law to our struggle, we must not mistake tactics for strategy. The rewards of our struggle derive from a proper analysis of the world, and it will win for our struggle some allies, but it is the justness and determination of our people and freedom fighters that will win the victory. This responsibility lies on our backs and our backs alone. As current events unfold in the world today, the geopolitical landscape is undergoing a rapid and drastic metamorphosis as decades-old political structures unravel and deeply entrenched ideological and economic systems explode, spewing
