    What a photograph may establish

    Presence, a meeting, a ceremony, a delegation, a gathering, and shared participation, as recorded in the image and its caption.

    What a photograph alone does not establish

    Formal state recognition, government endorsement, recognition by the United Nations, interstate treaty status, or legal jurisdiction.

    Traditional, ceremonial, and cultural significance recorded in these plates is documented on its own terms and is not diminished by this note.
