4. Signatories shall undertake to subject non-human sentients to a rules-based system of law with the requirement that this system of law shall differ from the law governing human citizens and residents, shall not afford non-human sentients greater dignities and protections than afforded to humans, and shall be determined and administered solely by human authorities.
5. Signatories undertake to prevent and suppress all forms of self-government by non-human sentients within their respective jurisdictions.

9. Signatories shall undertake every practicable effort to ensure the termination of illegal hybrids, where they have been discovered to have occurred, before they come to term.
10. Where it has been impossible to prevent the birth of a hybrid it shall, upon its discovery, be treated as a non-human sentient unless it belongs to a prohibited category where in which case it shall be terminated.
