US Commander General Archbishop Dr. Carl Robinson
Official Statement
Recognition of Archbishop Dr. Carl Robinson
Tribal Leader – International Police Executive – Diplomatic Advocate for Global Justice.
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe, together with its partners, proudly recognizes Archbishop Dr. Carl Robinson as a federally recognized tribal member and a global leader in public safety, diplomacy, and law enforcement education.
Dr. Robinson holds official tribal identification and travel documentation, acknowledged under TSA protocols, affirming his sovereign tribal citizenship and leadership credentials on domestic and international platforms.
He presently serves as U.S. Commander and Board Member of the International Police Academy (IPA) — also known as the UNIPOL International Police University — an officially recognized Intergovernmental Organization (IGO) with campuses in Brussels, Dubai, and Germany, operating across more than 140 countries. The IPA delivers accredited training in policing, counterterrorism, leadership, and public safety in collaboration with the UN, U.S. State Department, NATO, and allied international bodies.
Dr. Robinson also leads as Director of the Georgia A. Robinson Police Academy at Harvest Christian University, named in honor of Georgia A. Robinson, the first African American woman to serve as an LAPD officer. The academy now includes specialized programs in community-based policing and police aviation, designed to develop future professionals across tribal, local, and international law enforcement sectors.
Holding diplomatic status in accordance with the Geneva Convention, and serving within an international IGO framework, Dr. Robinson continues to promote peace, justice, and intergovernmental cooperation among sovereign tribal nations and global policing organizations.
This work embodies a powerful intersection of tribal sovereignty, international alliances, and enduring commitment to capacity-building through education and public service.
We proudly honor Archbishop Dr. Carl Robinson for his leadership in bridging nations, cultures, and institutions in the pursuit of global safety and justice.

As a federally recognized member of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, Dr. Robinson is entitled to the rights and privileges afforded by United States federal law to sovereign Native American tribes. This includes the issuance and federal acknowledgment of tribal identification and travel documents, and ensures that his activities are protected within the parameters of tribal self-governance as recognized by agencies such as the TSA and other federal authorities.

The International Police Academy (IPA/UNIPOL) functions as an officially recognized intergovernmental organization (IGO), operating under treaties and international accords. In the U.S., its operations and personnel are protected under statutes like the International Organizations Immunities Act, which grants them specific immunities and privileges to conduct their work independently and in accordance with international law.

Dr. Robinson, holding diplomatic status pursuant to the Geneva Convention and related international agreements, enjoys legal protections applicable to diplomats.

Robinson Police Academy and related educational programs operate within accredited and recognized frameworks, benefiting from the legitimacy that comes from collaboration with accredited bodies such as the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, NATO, and other allied organizations. These affiliations ensure compliance with relevant state, federal, and international education and law enforcement training standards.
Collectively, these laws and regulations enable Dr. Robinson, his affiliated institutions, and their international partners to operate with recognized authority, immunity, and protection under both U.S. and international legal systems.
