PIONEER IN INTERNATIONAL LAW THOUGHT

---

 HRH Prince Gharios El Chemor of Ghassan has distinguished himself as a uniquely original voice in contemporary international legal thought. Despite not having attended law school, he has authored three comprehensive legal treatises, two of which achieved #1 bestseller status on Amazon in three separate categories. His scholarship has been recognized for introducing entirely new frameworks into international jurisprudence, bridging gaps left open by even the most authoritative figures in the discipline. 

* Royal Sovereignty vis-à-vis Modern International Law (2025)

* Jusvera: Real Justice for a New Society (2025)⁴

* Dynastic and Nobility Law: The End of a Myth (2012, now out of print)

 In addition to these treatises, Prince Gharios has published numerous essays on dynastic law, international cultural preservation, and sovereignty, all reinforcing his reputation as a pioneering legal thinker. 

1. Jus Cogens, Erga Omnes, and Deposed Sovereigns
   In Royal Sovereignty, Prince Gharios advanced the unprecedented thesis that jus cogens norms and erga omnes obligations apply to the immaterial rights of deposed sovereigns and their heirs.² Unlike traditional treatments of sovereignty, which focus exclusively on territorial statehood and recognition, his work situates dynastic rights within the highest order of binding international norms.
2. International Immaterial Inheritance and Cultural Patrimony
   Prince Gharios articulated for the first time a legal bridge between immaterial dynastic inheritance and the preservation of cultural patrimony.³ By framing dynastic symbols, traditions, and continuity as part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage, he expanded international cultural law into a new field that joins dynastic legitimacy and cultural preservation.
3. The Jusvera Legal System
   His creation of Jusvera marks a paradigmatic break with existing legal philosophy. Jusvera proposes a system where truth and justice take precedence over legal technicality, emphasizing rehabilitation, proportionality, and human dignity.⁴
4. The Lotus Project
   As a practical application of Jusvera, Prince Gharios launched the Lotus Project, a rehabilitative initiative for inmates.⁵ It employs psychological evaluation, education, and vocational training to prepare incarcerated individuals for reintegration, embodying Jusvera’s vision of restorative justice.

Prince Gharios’s work constitutes an entirely original body of legal scholarship. 

By integrating dynastic law with peremptory norms of international law, and by reframing immaterial cultural inheritance as a matter of legal preservation, he has expanded the horizons of international jurisprudence. His development of Jusvera and the Lotus Project demonstrates that his vision is not confined to theory, but offers practical models for more humane and effective legal systems.

Unlike the canonical works of Cassese, Brownlie, or Crawford, which remain silent on dynastic immaterial rights,² Prince Gharios has opened entirely new domains of inquiry, situating himself as a pioneering innovator in the evolution of international law.

2. See Antonio Cassese, International Law (2nd ed., Oxford University Press, 2005), 64–71; Ian Brownlie, Principles of Public International Law (7th ed., Oxford University Press, 2008), 74–78; James Crawford, Brownlie’s Principles of Public International Law (9th ed., Oxford University Press, 2019), 95–104. None extend jus cogens or erga omnes to the immaterial rights of deposed sovereigns, highlighting the originality of Prince Gharios’s thesis.
3. Prince Gharios El Chemor, Royal Sovereignty vis-à-vis Modern International Law; cf. Francesco Francioni, “The Human Dimension of International Cultural Heritage Law,” European Journal of International Law 22, no. 1 (2011): 9–20. Francioni frames cultural patrimony in human rights terms but without reference to dynastic continuity.
4. Prince Gharios El Chemor, Jusvera: Real Justice for a New Society (2025). Compare H.L.A. Hart, The Concept of Law (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1961) and Ronald Dworkin, Law’s Empire (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1986), which propose reformist jurisprudence rather than wholly new systems.
