Description

This work presents a comprehensive, original, and academically rigorous governance framework entitled “KSRL 2025 — Dual Trusteeship & Enforcement Edition”, proposing a legally cautious, institutionally realistic, and non-coercive model for the protection and stewardship of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar as sites of exceptional civilizational, ecological, cultural, and intergenerational significance.

The document introduces the doctrine of Dual Trusteeship, a novel conceptual architecture that distinguishes between:



A global trusteeship layer, grounded in principles of public international law and multilateral legitimacy; and

A civilizational custodianship layer, recognizing historical continuity of cultural and spiritual stewardship without asserting territorial sovereignty.


The framework explicitly affirms principles of non-aggression, non-sovereignty, voluntary adoption, and legal defensibility, and is constructed to remain compatible with the UN Charter, environmental treaties, cultural heritage instruments, and evolving international jurisprudence.

Core thematic contributions include:



Protection Without Possession (non-claim custodianship doctrine)

Sacred Ecological Personhood and Rights of Nature applied to transboundary geography

Intergenerational governance and perpetual trust framing

Institutional architectures (KDTC, Secretariat, IVC, KAT)

Demilitarized sacred zone model

Sustainable pilgrimage governance

Climate cooperation and Himalayan ecological stewardship

Modular, voluntary implementation pathways consistent with legal realism


This work is presented strictly as a scholarly, legal-normative, and policy framework. It does not claim authority, sovereignty, or institutional mandate. Its purpose is to contribute to:



International governance theory

Environmental and cultural protection discourse

Legal-normative development

Academic research

Long-term policy imagination
