20.1 – Legal Binding Language and Jurisdictional Claims

§20.1.1 Legal Supremacy of the GRA Charter

20.1.1.1 This Charter shall serve as the supreme constitutional framework of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA), establishing a binding legal structure applicable to all signatory sovereigns, institutional partners, credentialed operators, and clause contributors registered within the Nexus Sovereignty Framework (NSF).

20.1.1.2 Its legal validity derives from:

  • Swiss civil law as codified in Articles 60–79 of the Swiss Civil Code governing public-benefit associations;

  • Multilateral treaty interoperability frameworks, including UN Charter provisions, UNCITRAL model clauses, and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties;

  • Simulation-first governance precedence, where certified clause outputs supersede narrative or non-simulated statements in all legal disputes.

§20.1.2 Jurisdictional Venue for Enforcement and Arbitration

20.1.2.1 All legal claims arising under this Charter shall be subject to arbitration in the seat of Geneva, Switzerland, except where alternative jurisdictional provisions have been certified through clause-governed override protocols.
