436: Governor-General may issue copies of declarations

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can make copies of important declarations made by New Zealand."

The Governor-General can issue a copy of a declaration if New Zealand makes one under the Cape Town Convention or the Aircraft Protocol. You can find out more about what this means by looking at the declaration itself. The Governor-General does this by making an Order in Council.

When the Governor-General makes an Order in Council, it must include the date New Zealand made the declaration and the date it takes effect. This is an important part of the process. The Order in Council is a type of secondary legislation.

If you want to know more about secondary legislation, you can look at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 to see the publication requirements. This will help you understand how it all works.
