Citation and Reference Index

Citations and Documentary References

This page is the authoritative index of citations and documentary references used across Globcal International publications. Each entry is linkable by a stable fragment identifier and is designed to align with the structured data (JSON-LD) embedded on this page. Where possible, we prefer primary sources (treaties, official publications, archival holdings, verified institutional documentation, and original scans).

Use this index to verify, cite, and cross-check

Use this page to locate the underlying documentary sources referenced in our articles, standards pages, and governance pages. To cite a source, link directly to its anchor (example: /p/citations.html#cite-vccr-1963). For newsroom methods and correction handling, see Publishing Principles, Policies and Standards. For terminology, see the Glossary of Defined Terms. For canonical navigation, see the Content Registry (Crosswalk).

How to use this index

Practical rules for citations on this site

  • Direct linking: Each citation is a standalone entry with a permanent ID for bookmarking and for article citations.
  • Primary-source preference: Prefer treaties, official institutional pages, and original documents over commentary.
  • Access + context notes: Include “accessed” dates and short notes on why the source is used.
  • Hosted exhibits: If we host a scan or working copy, the record must label it as a hosted copy and preserve provenance notes.
  • No exaggeration: Sources are cited to support specific claims. Articles must distinguish policy, program branding, and legal instruments.

Update & integrity notes

Stability is part of trust

  • Stable IDs: Once a citation ID is published, it should not be reused for a different source.
  • Hosted exhibits: If we host copies, we label them as hosted copies and preserve provenance notes.
  • Corrections: If a citation entry is wrong or incomplete, we correct it and disclose changes.
  • Access dates: For web sources, include an “accessed” date in the record and (when helpful) archive the page.
