Chapter 1: Communism and Law
Modern bourgeois law can be roughly divided into two main systems, domestic law and international law, depending on its legal scope, but there is no such distinction in communist law. This is because a communist society will ultimately be subsumed into the global transnational organization of the World Commonwealth.
Therefore, overall, communist law is nothing but "internal" law within the World Commonwealth, but if we classify it from the perspective of the place in which it is enacted, it can be classified as follows.
World Law enacted by the World Commons' Convention, which also serves as the World Commonwealth General Assembly; Grand-Zonal Law enacted by the Commons' Convention of a Grand-Zone, a continental division of the World Commonwealth; Zonal Law enacted by the Commons' Convention of each Zone comprising the World Commonwealth; Zonelet Law enacted by the Commons' Convention of a Zonelet (i.e., Quasi-Zone) which is a constituent entity comprising a federal Zone; Provincial or Regional Law enacted by the Commons' Convention of a Provincial Area or a Regional Area in a unitary Zone. Commune Law enacted by the Commons' Convention of a municipal Commune.
Of these, World Law and Grand-Zonal Law correspond to current international treaties, while Zonal Law corresponds to national law, Zonelet Law to state law, and Provincial or Regional Law and Commune Law to local ordinances. Therefore, if we deliberately classify these laws into two systems, internal and external, we can call World Law and Grand-Zonal Law "transnational laws," and Zonal law, Zonelet law, and Privincial or Regional Law, Commune Law "domestic laws."
However, World Law in communist law is no longer precluded by national sovereignty, so it is not essentially different from other laws. What differs is the geographical scope of their effect. There is no superiority or inferiority in the relationship between these five types of laws. World law and Grand-Zonal are also valid as laws in the Zones that are included by the World Commonwealth and the Grand-Zones, and stand on an equal footing with Zonal law. Furthermore, the relationship between Zonal law, Zonelet law, and Provincial or Regional Law, Commune law is also equal. *
This relationship of equality between legal types is the result of a clear division of roles among the World Commonwealth, Grand-Zones, Zones, Zonelets, and various local entities, and that they do not compete with each other. Therefore, there is no strict need for the hierarchical classification of names such as treaties, laws, and ordinances; all are "laws."
Thus, the system of communist law will form a multilayered system without being hierarchical up or down within the World Commonwealth that unites the earth, and the whole will function organically, each with a clear legal purpose.
*When it is necessary to establish a uniform standard for matters under the jurisdiction of a Zonelet or local entity, the Zonal Law called a framework law may constrain the Zonelet law or local laws. In addition, in a federal Zone, the Zonelet Law in principle supersedes the federal Zonal Law (except for the Charter).
