Do &quot;National Councils&quot; have national or international legal authority?
<p>Really not sure if this is the correct stack exchange for this, but this seems like the right place. If there is a national council for for something, doesn't really matter what, but they are the only council for this in all the world, are their rulings technically correct all over the world?</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I explained this properly, please ask anything, and I will try to clarify if I was not clear enough.</p>

<p>No, each nation in the world is sovereign; that means the government of that nation decides what the law is for that nation.</p>

<p>If that government decides to create a "council" which has statutory powers then the laws they make are binding within their jurisdiction only.</p>

<p>If the council has no statutory power then it's just a group of guys getting together and saying stuff and it only applies to you if you decide it does.</p>
