Chairman of the Board 

Office of the Chief.

United Nations Indigenous Sovereign Maroon Chamber of Commerce (UNISMCC)
The Chief and Chairman of the United Nations Indigenous Sovereign Maroon Chamber of Commerce constitutes the pinnacle of executive authority and sovereign command within the institutional hierarchy of the Chamber.

As the paramount head and sovereign custodian of the UNISMCC, the Chief must be voted in with more than fifty percent of votes from the International Maroon Council of Elders and the Accompong Maroons Independent Council of Elders. The Chief wields a comprehensive, undivided, and unchallengeable authority over all organs of governance, including but not limited to:
• The General Assembly – exercising the prerogative to determine its agenda, preside over deliberations, sanction resolutions, and ensure legislative coherence with the Chamber’s sovereign objectives.
• The Board of Directors – vested with the exclusive power to appoint, reassign, or dismiss its members, while providing strategic guidance to ensure conformity with the Chamber’s vision and the Maroon sovereign mandate.
• The Entire Institutional Framework – exercising plenary jurisdiction over all departments, commissions, regional offices, and subsidiary institutions operating under the UNISMCC’s global remit.
Core Mandates and Responsibilities
• Sovereign Stewardship – Preserves and fortifies the integrity, independence, and mission of the Chamber, serving as the ultimate guardian of Maroon sovereignty in the spheres of commerce, culture, and governance.
• Policy Supremacy – Holds the final ratifying authority over all legislative enactments, policy frameworks, treaties, and international agreements negotiated or adopted under the Chamber’s auspices.

Supremacy of Decision and Ratification
The pronouncements, edicts, and determinations of the Chief and Chairman are final, binding, and conclusive within the UNISMCC’s sovereign framework. No statute, accord, or institutional measure attains validity absent his ratification. The office fuses the ancestral legacy of Maroon self-determination with the mechanisms of modern statecraft, thereby serving as both the symbolic nexus of unity for Maroons worldwide and the executive fulcrum advancing the Chamber’s mission to safeguard, enhance, and expand Maroon economic, cultural, and political power across the global stage.
Safeguards of Tenure and Removal
The Chief and Chairman’s tenure is fortified by the principle of sovereign inviolability. Removal from office is possible only through the solemn process of impeachment, a measure reserved for the gravest of circumstances, and executable solely by either the International Maroon Council of Elders or the Accompong Maroons Independent Council of Elders. The impeachment vote must be greater than fifty percent, this safeguard ensures that the dignity and stability of the Chamber’s highest office remain unimpeachable except under extraordinary and duly adjudicated conditions.
