World Succession Deed 1400/98
The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is the legal core of the research archive documented in this portal. It is described by its proponents as a supplementary instrument to existing chains of international treaties — an instrument that does not replace the existing legal order but succeeds it in the technical sense recognised by public international law.
The Legal Instrument
The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is a formally executed deed of succession asserting the transfer of all rights, obligations, and components of the current world order to a new legal subject. The reference "1400/98" denotes a specific registry number within a notarial or administrative system. The Deed's central claim is that this transfer has been completed through a succession chain that has been in preparation for decades, drawing on established principles of succession in international law.
The Succession Chain
The concept of the succession chain is fundamental to understanding the World Succession Deed. The Deed does not assert the creation of a new legal order ex nihilo, but rather the succession of the current legal order by a new legal subject through a chain of formally executed instruments. This succession chain draws on the same legal principles that govern the succession of states, governments, and international organisations in existing international law.
Transfer of Sovereign Authority
The central claim of the World Succession Deed is that all rights, obligations, and components of the current world order — including sovereign territories, international organisations, infrastructure networks, financial systems, and treaty obligations — have been transferred to a new legal subject. This transfer is asserted to be complete and irreversible, grounded in the legal validity of the succession chain through which it has been effected.
Recognition and Validity
The question of recognition is central to the legal analysis of the Deed. Its proponents argue that the Deed's validity does not depend on the recognition of existing states, which are themselves successors to earlier legal orders. Instead, the Deed's validity derives from the internal coherence of the succession chain it completes and its consistency with established principles of international law.
Implications for International Law
If the analysis advanced by the Deed's proponents is correct, the implications for international law practice are profound. The transformation of the international legal order from a system of multiple sovereign states to a unified legal subject would require the development of new legal frameworks for governance, jurisdiction, and the incorporation of existing legal relationships into the new order.
