Note
Use 'declaration' for formal, explicit statements or documents. For a general or informal statement, use 'statement' or 'announcement.' Distinguish from 'proclamation' (often more ceremonious) and 'avowal' (personal assertion). In legal contexts, a 'declaration' can be a sworn or notarized statement.
