TRIAL
OF ULRICH GREIFELT AND OTHERS AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY TRIBUNAL,
NUEREMBERG. In these proceedings against
Ulrich Greifelt and others, leading SS-members from the group
around Heinrich Himmler have been condemned due to crimes against
humanity among others on account of child abduction.The judgments
of the Nueremberg Trials clearly identify child abduction and
alienation as a Crime against Humanity. In the first quarter
of the 20th century the Nazis conducted a state run child abduction
and alienation program as part of the Germanisation plan. As
a result, and after nearly two years of study, the General Assembly
of the United Nations adopted on 9th December, 1948, a Convention on
the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national
ethnical, racial or religious group, as such : [...] forcibly
transferring children of the group to another group. Those
who cannot learn from the past are condemned to repeat it. In
the last quarter of the 20th century the German government does
not prosecute those German judicial, social and administrative
German state authorities and officials which are involved in
legalizing international child abduction to Germany. Thereby
the German government refuses to make the responsible German
state servants assume responsibilites for Crimes against Humanity.
Thereby the German government refuses to install and provide an
effective qualtiy assurance and control. Thereby the German government
refuses to assume itself its responsibilties which results in
the documented continious historical wrongdoing in the German
history of child abduction and boycott of access. |

An
interdisciplinary research and study has been effected on the
"Well-Being of the Child within the Practice of German Family Law
Jurisdiction" from 1973 until 1977. The conclusive report in
1977 and the respective publication in 1979 present as results the
identification of deficiencies of the German family law system and of
German family law proceedings which are about thirty years later still
the same structural problems within the practice German family law
jurisdiction, while
the official propaganda of the German government and the competent and
responsible federal ministries is still trying to sell something else
to the peace in the world and to the unified Europe. Furthermore, about
thirty years later, the German government in its moral and political
responsibility is taking concrete action not
to bring about consequent change of the German family law system and
German family law proceedings but is taking concrete action to madly
and fiercly defend the incorrect German proceedings and its clearly
executed Human Rights violations. |

The Concluding Observations
of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. At the hearing in
Geneva in November 1995, the Committee identified positive factors, but
also "general topics which give rise
to concern", as well as formulating "proposals and recommendations". |

|
In 1996, on the conference
in Bad Boll the German social state authority "Children Welfare Office (Jugendamt)"
justifies itself of not being a "Kidnapping Office (Wir sind doch
keine Kinderklaubehörde)". Curiously, the Jugendamt authority
is also involved as documented in the disrespect and violation of
international law, children rights and human rights. |
|
| 1996 |
|
In 1996, Richard von
Weizaecker, Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany
says : The respect of Rights is the basic guidelines of our
social order. Also, every child has its own rights,from birth
on and everywhere in the world. The respect of the Rights
of the Child is a measurement for the culture of a society. |

Herta
Daeubler-Gmelin knows very well the characteristics of the
German political judiciary and the treatment of the
victims by the politicians' and jurists' class as she has
worked on this issue with the example of the Nazi-jurists and
speaks out against it in public when it serves her political
career on the way to become German federal justice minister.
But in respect to the injustice judiciary of German family
law jurisdiction under her responsibility as German
federal minister of justice, Herta Daeubler-Gmelin
intentionally covers and promotes German judiciary crimes
against humanity. While Herta Daeubler-Gmelin out of her political
opportunism still complains about the delay of proceedings
and the lack of protection of the victims in respect to the
lack assumption of responsibility for crimes committed by Nazi-jurists,
the German federal minister of justice Herta Daeubler-Gmelin refuses
the assumption of responsibility for the intentional delay of
proceedings and further incorrect proceedings by German famliy judges,
but refuses the protection of the victims of German
family law jurisdiction. Whereas Herta Daeubler-Gmelin portrays
herself as the perfect angel of humanity speaking out against
German Judiciary Crimes against Humanity on the way of her ascension to
the Walhalla position as German federal minister of justice, Herta
Daeubler-Gmelin will later on as German federal minister of justice
vetoes against the European court of Human Rights in order to cover and
defend German Judiciary Crimes against Humanity in 2002. |

Anglo-German judicial
conference,Dartington. The Federal Republic of Germany has very
obviously and in
contrast to other countries more cases in which a child is
held in Germany than returns of the child according to the
Hague Convention are executed. The court proceedings take multiple
times longer than in Great Britain. German judges have little
or nearly no experience in the application of international
conventions and laws, which is reflected in the processing of
international child abductions. This corresponds to the German
self-image, that every judge is completely independant. There is hope
that the jurisdiction of the Federal constitutional court, which
decides as the last instance if a child has to be returned and
which has shown a high competence in its decisions. A German
Law Professor, Dr. Salgo, said that the sooner the German family
justice system was reformed, the less likelihood of some parents
wanting to take the law in their hands. |

Journal Officiel, 11.9.1997,
French Republic Nr. 762 – Answer of the French Foreign
minister to the parliamentary question : Germany – French
children – custody and access.
Excerpts : Gova, member of the French parliament, asks the
French foreign minister to take a stance about the French children
abducted to Germany and arbitrarily withheld in Germany whereas the
French left-behind parents have severe difficulties to obtain access
and custody rights.
Already in January 1997 some members of parliament had accompanied a
delegation of parents to the German embassy in
France. They were neither received nor heard. Obviously German
helds a position which violates the International Human Rights
and the European Convention, which Germany has ratified.
Answer of the French Foreign Minister :
France and Germany are signatory states of the Hague Convention from 25
October 1980 on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which
is destined to make the return to the habitual residence possible. It
is correct, that repeatedly die German independant justice has made the
application of this convention ineffective by overuse of article 13.
France and Germany
are also signatory states of the European Convention of 20
Mai 1980. The reason of the difficulties is that the application is
based on the independant judirisdiction of the competent courts.
For France the justice minister is responsible for the application of
these two conventions who has drawn repeatedly the attention of his
German counterpart on this situation. These interventions were
supported by the foreign minister and diplomatic and consulate
authorites. We have to admit that
these interventions had scarcely success until now. |

the custodian rights according to a US court, the German Higher

backing up the behavior and proceedings of the German Children's
Welfare Office (Jugendamt), whereas the Higher Regional Court of

US-report on compliance
with the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International
Child Abduction. Listed among the countries that are not
fully compliant is Germany. There has been a lack of understanding
among the German judiciary about the Convention, and a reluctance in
the German Central Authority to provide the judiciary with explanatory
materials about effective implementation of the Convention. In a number
of cases in Germany there has been an unconscionably broad use of the
Convention's exceptions to
return. The central point of the Convention is that it is the country
of habitual residence, not the country to which the child has been
abducted, that is the appropriate venue to make a judgment about
the child's best interests and custody. In access proceedings under
Article 21 of the Convention, some German court orders do not provide
for children to have a meaningful relationship with both their parents
and both their cultures. Access is sometimes limited and conditioned to
the point of causing emotional stress to both parents and children.
Even when the courts issue access orders, the systemic failure to
enforce contempt of court sanctions allows abducting parents to resist
enforcement of orders indefinitely. |
|
| 2000-2001 |

Although the German
federal chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is exactly informed about
the wrongdoing and the miscarriage of the German political judiciary
and although the German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is in accordance
with Art. 65 of the German constitution
responsible for the general policy guidelines, the German
federal chancellor Gerhard Schroeder refuses measures for
correction and assumption of responsibilities. While the
political leader style of the German federal chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder repeatedly resorts to call for a vote of confidence in the
German federal parliament, the German federal chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder renounces on calling for a vote of confidence in
respect of the subject matter of disrespect and violation
of children rights and human rights by the German judiciary.
The German federal chancellor Gerhard Schroeder reacts with
the pseudo argument of the independence of German judges enshrined
within the German constitution. The German federal chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder does deliberately not state that independent
German judges have intentionally supported and promoted under
a German constitution Adolf Hitler, national socialism, WW II and the
resulting Crimes against Humanity out of own political and power
interests. |
|
| 2000-2001 |
|
Also the German
federal minister of justice Herta Daeubler-Gmelin uses the
pseudo argument of the independence of the judiciary
if it is about assuming responsibilities for German judiciary
crimes against Humanity. Whereas the German federal minister
of justice Herta Daeubler-Gmelin at this period of time promises
to the international community in accordance with the guidelines
for the German government's official propaganda to speed up
German family law proceedings on custody and access, the very
same German federal minister of justice Herta Daeubler-Gmelin will veto
against the European Court of Human Rights in order to cover incorrect
proceedings by the practice of German family law jurisdiction and in
order to enforce of the socio- and legal policy aims of the German
government under the responsibility of the German federal chancellor
Gerhard Chancellor. Three
years later in 2003, the successor of Herta Daeubler-Gmelin, i.e. German
federal minister of justice Brigitte Zypries will still
stick to the official propaganda guideline of the German government
that speeding up family law court proceedings would be welcomed. |

Hohloch from the higher regional court of Freiburg states that last

The United States General Accounting Office reports
to
the Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate
on the subject of Foreign Affairs and Changes to Germany's
Implementation of the Hague Child Abduction Convention.
Germany’s initiatives to enhance judicial expertise and accelerate
case processing are steps that have potential to positively
affect German application of the provisions of the Hague Convention
and reduce the time taken to adjudicate cases. In response
to U.S. and other countries’ concerns, German authorities
have pledged their commitment to take steps to improve the
handling of Hague Convention cases, and Germany has taken actions to
address two of the three primary criticisms. Germany has established a
task force to monitor German reforms and active cases, initiated
efforts to build expertise among judges deciding Hague
Convention cases, and changed its processes to accelerate
case handling. Because the reforms are recent, there are
only a limited number of cases to demonstrate the actual
effect of the initiatives. Germany has not acted, however,
to improve its enforcement of visitation orders. This is
a key concern of the State Department. Moreover, we believe that the
failure to address the German courts’ reluctance to enforce visitation
orders could undermine Germany’s efforts to improve its handling of
Hague Convention cases.

of the incorrect proceedings in German family law matters,
of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights against
the incorrect proceedings in German family law matters, and
of the veto-strategy of the German government against the European

Herta Daeubler-Gmelin out of her political opportunism still complains
about the delay of proceedings and the lack of protection of the
victims in respect to the lack assumption of responsibility for German
judiciary crimes and uses this as her socio-political engagement in
public in Feburary
1997, but curiously once Herta Daeubler-Gmelin has become the

present herself in socio-political engagement in public on the subject

international community. The German government under Gerhard
Schroeder and Herta Daeubler-Gmelin, which has come to power
with the election campaign slogan "There is also the human way...,"
borrowed from the nobel peace prize winner Willy Brandt, has
no scruples at all to veto against the European Court of Human
Rights in order to enforce of their socio- and legal policy
aims. Curiously, the German federal justice minister who is
so concerned about the independence of German judges as she
expresses in 2000
and 2001, has definite problems to accept the independence
of European judges.
Whereas Herta Daeubler-Gmelin had portrayed herself in
1997 as the perfect angel of humanity speaking out against German
Judiciary Crimes against Humanity on the way of her ascension to the
position as German federal minister of justice, Herta Daeubler-Gmelin
now arrived in Walhalla as German federal minister of justice vetoes
against the European court of Human Rights in order to cover and defend
German Judiciary Crimes against Humanity. |

Joint
Franco-German declaration on the event of the Council
of the Justice Ministers of the European Union in respect to
legal security in custody and access proceedings. While the German
federal justice minister Brigitte Zypries engages in the usual
official propaganda show of the German government like her predecessor
Herta Dauebler-Gmelin with the official statement that expeditious
court proceedings would be welcomed and that they certainely would work
against child abduction, the German federal justice minister Brigitte
Zypries as
well as the German federal justice minister Herta Dauebler-Gmelin is
deliberately covering Crimes against Humanity comitted by German family
judges although the incorrect behaviors and proceedings in German
family jurisdiction are well known for more than a decade. Until today
not one of the responsible German jurists has been made assuming his
responsibilities by his
German jurist colleagues or by the competent and responsible
German politicians - just like in the good old Nazi-jurist
times with writing "Persilscheine."
Already
three years ago in 2000, the German
federal justice minister Herta Dauebler-Gmelin had
promised to the international community to speed up court
proceedings.
Curiously, the German federal justice minister Brigitte Zypries does
not explain how the attitude of the German
government vetoing against the European Court of Human Rights in
order to cover incorrect proceedings by the practice
of German family law jurisdiction matches the statements
in her official propaganda.
