# SHOSJJ Sovereign Organizational Statute

**Document Version:** 1.0  
**Authority:** Sovereign Hospitallers Order of St. John of Jerusalem (SHOSJJ)  
**Purpose:** Establish chartered institutions as the primary organizational form and functional sovereign departments as licensing routing equivalents.

Legal effectiveness originates from publication in the Gazzetta Ufficiale dell'Ordine Sovrano Militare di Malta (GUOSMM). This Statute confirms the Order uses **institutions**, not conventional national ministries, while defining department equivalents for licensing delegation under `GUOSMM-A-2026-002`.

## Article 1 — Organizational model

1.1 The Order exercises sovereign administrative authority through **chartered institutions** and **affiliated juridical persons** under SHOSJJ mandate — not through conventional national **cabinet ministries** claiming extraterritorial equivalence.

1.2 For licensing, appeals, public verification, and portal presentation, the Order maintains **functional sovereign departments** mapped to institution owners. These departments are **administrative routing labels** under Order law; they do not assert recognition as foreign ministries.

1.3 Legal effectiveness of organizational authority originates from **GUOSMM** publication. External notice serves transparency — not creation.

## Article 2 — Parent sovereign authority

2.1 **Sovereign Hospitallers Order of St. John of Jerusalem (SHOSJJ)** is the parent sovereign authority for all affiliated institutions, licensing delegates, and Complete Credential tenant programmes.

2.2 The **Grand Chancellor** signs Tier 1 constitutional and organizational instruments. Day-to-day licensing coordination rests with the **SHOSJJ Licensing Authority** established under `GUOSMM-A-2026-002`.
