This book describes the unique legal status of Berlin as it emerged from the actual practice and positions adopted by the four Occupying Powers (UK, USA, France and the Soviet Union) and the various German authorities concerned. The book deals in detail with the original occupation rights of the four Powers, and their agreements and practices. Full reference is made to Allied and German legislation. The book includes chapters on the institutional framework and the law applicable in Berlin; the special Berlin area; access to Berlin; the relationship between Berlin and the FRG; the extension of laws and treaties to Berlin; Berlin and the European Communities, the United Nations and other international organisations; freedom of movement; demilitarisation; security issues; the position of East Berlin; and the legal status of Germany as a whole. The book will be of particular interest to administrators, lawyers and others involved with the legal and political background to Berlin and the future of the city. The work will also be of value to international lawyers and specialists in international affairs and political issues.
The Constitution of Berlin was adopted in 1995 by the Berlin House of Representatives and ratified by a referendum the same year. It was later amended in 2016. It contains the set of laws for the government of the state of Berlin, which is also the capital city of the nation of Germany. It sets out among other things, the basic rights of citizens and aliens, the territorial delineation, as well as the structure of government and administration of justice in the state.
