SECTION 08

Legal Status and Legitimacy of the Council

Legal Status: The Independent Council of Earthlings is an autonomous supervisory and advisory body that is not part of the governance system of the Earthlings people and does not possess executive powers. It acts as an ethical and legal guarantor of adherence to the principles set forth in the Declaration and Charter of the Earthlings people.

The Council operates on the basis of an ethical and public mandate granted to it by the Earthlings people. Its decisions are advisory and reputational in nature and do not create legal obligations for participants.

Council Legitimacy: The Council derives its legitimacy not from state or international law, but from recognition by the Earthlings people as bearers of the common will and values of humanity. This is an expression of a new form of global public self-governance, where trust and openness replace hierarchy and coercion.

Thus, the Independent Council of Earthlings is a trust institution of the Earthlings people — a bridge between its ethical principles and practical activities. It serves as confirmation of the maturity, transparency, and responsibility of the people in the eyes of the world community and international organizations.
