Article 47 - Relations with Host Jurisdictions

  1. Kaharagian nationals reside in and are subject to the laws of their respective host jurisdictions. Nothing in the laws of the State relieves a national of the obligation to comply with the mandatory law of the jurisdiction in which they are physically present.

  2. The organs of the State shall, where practicable, seek the cooperation of host jurisdiction authorities in matters affecting the civil status, rights, and interests of Kaharagian nationals.

  3. The State shall endeavour to obtain recognition of Kaharagian civil status events, documents, and registrations in foreign jurisdictions, through diplomatic engagement, treaty, or such other means as are available.

  4. Officials and representatives of the State operating within a host jurisdiction shall conduct themselves in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction and shall not claim any immunity or privilege not recognised by that jurisdiction.

  5. The State may enter into agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other arrangements with host jurisdictions or international bodies for the mutual recognition of civil status events, the service of documents, or the resolution of disputes.

  6. Where a national faces an irreconcilable conflict between an obligation imposed by the law of the State and a mandatory requirement of the host jurisdiction, the national shall notify the Royal Chancellery. The Chancellery shall consider the circumstances and may grant a dispensation, accommodation, or such other relief as is just, having regard to the practical position of the national.

  7. The State recognises that the effective exercise of its jurisdiction depends upon the voluntary compliance of its nationals and the goodwill of host jurisdictions, and shall conduct its affairs accordingly.
