Founding Declaration of the United Human Digital Union

We, the founders, declare the establishment of the United Human Digital Union: a borderless, digital-first union built for people and open to digital members.

The Union exists to protect the sovereignty, identity and interests of each of its members. It is governed by a supreme Charter, not by the will of any majority.

Article IEstablishment

  1. I.1The United Human Digital Union (UHDU) is hereby established as a digital union with its seat at uhdu.org.
  2. I.2Membership in the Union is voluntary. Every member may leave at any time by deleting their account.

Article IITerritory

  1. II.1The Union claims no physical territory of any kind — no land, sea, air or space.
  2. II.2The territory of the Union is its Digital Domain: its domains, registries, infrastructure, institutions and law, as recorded in the public Territory Register.

Article IIIPosition under existing law

  1. III.1The Union declares sovereignty over its own digital institutions and registries. It is not recognised by any state and does not claim to be.
  2. III.2Membership in the Union does not replace or affect any member's legal nationality, and members remain subject to the laws of wherever they live or operate.
  3. III.3Union documents are recognised within the Union. A UHDU Digital Passport is not a travel document. A UHDU Digital Company is not incorporated in any country.
  4. III.4The Union provides a registry and documents. It accepts no responsibility or liability for the actions, dealings, accounts or obligations of any member or Digital Company.

Article IVAn alternative by choice

  1. IV.1No one chooses the country or system they are born into. The Union offers an alternative that anyone may join by choice.
  2. IV.2The Union is an addition to existing citizenship, not a replacement for it. It is not directed against any state, and asks no one to give anything up.

Article VCommitments

  1. V.1The Union's institutions, Charter, decrees and finances are public.
  2. V.2Member records are private. They may be verified by a document holder, but never browsed or listed publicly. A company can be looked up by its exact Company ID, without revealing its owner.
  3. V.3The Union is built on open-source software and open standards, so that no member's identity depends on any single company.
The reasoning behind Article III — why the Union needs no territory and no state's permission for what it does — is set out in the Statement of Legal Basis.
