Empire Acts of 1962

The Empire Acts of 1962 (Hindi: साम्राज्य अधिनियम, tr. Saamraajy Adhiniyam and French: Actes de l'Empire) were nine separate Acts of Parliament passed by the parliaments of Canada, West Indies, New Zealand, Australia, Hindustan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Khalistan and the HMMH Privy Council, which functioned as the royalist government in exile. They put into effect the terms of the Treaty of Empire that had been agreed on 22 July 1962, following negotiation between commissioners representing the parliaments of the eight countries and the government in exile. By the nine acts, the HMMH Privy Council, the Dominions of Hindustan, Pakistan, Kashmir and Khalistan, Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Realm of New Zealand and the West Indies Federation - which at the time were separate states with separate legislatures and dominions of the United Kingdom - were, as reaction to the abolition of the monarchy and the royalist exile, in the words of the treaty, „United into one Kingdom-Empire by the Name of the British Empire“.
