Text and language scope
The original closing specifies German and English, equally authentic. No third authentic language is identified by these retained originals/audit; this is not a full-language accuracy certification. All text is unreviewed OCR, including retained wrong glyphs, punctuation, hyphens and spacing. Treaty preamble, closing, protocol, signatures, implementing law and any notes are retained separately at /review/de-jamaica-1976-base/. Exact physical-page spans and unresolved OCR at /review/de-jamaica-1976-base/evidence/. Source-page links are page references, not verified paragraph alignment.
