Spanish term

que guarden y hagan guardar

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Spanish law.
Does anyone know the standard phrasing for this at the end of a Spanish law?

Por lo tanto,
Mando a todos los espanoles, particulares y autoridades, que guarden y hagan guardar esta Ley.
Madrid, xx xx 2007.
