Notes
The Constitution of the Republic of Nauru was adopted on independence day, January 31, 1968.
It does not contain provisions on the protection of intellectual property rights. However, Article 8 'Protection from deprivation of property' in Part II 'Protection of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms' prohibits the deprivation of private property, which reads: 'No person shall be deprived compulsorily of his property except in accordance with law for a public purpose and on just terms...'
The right to property is furthermore guaranteed by Article 9 'Protection of person and property' in Part II and by Article 91 'Vesting of property, etc.' in Part XI 'Transitional Provisions' of the Constitution.
