INTRODUCTION: The curtain rises on a new era ⚖️ 1.1. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 – A Paradigm Shift in the Global Legal System The study of international law is traditionally an engagement with the complex choreography of sovereign states. It is the exploration of that fragile, often contested, yet indispensable system of norms, principles, and institutions that attempts to bring order to a world characterized by the coexistence of independent centers of power. For centuries, this system has been based on the fiction – or, more optimistically expressed, the goal – of the sovereign equality of states, on the principle of pacta sunt servanda (treaties are to be kept), and the arduous process of consensus-building through multilateral negotiations and international jurisdiction. The history of international law is a history of evolution, often driven by catastrophes. Wars gave birth to peace treaties, economic crises led to international cooperation mechanisms, and human rights violations inspired the creation of global standards. 🕊️➡️📜 Every step was an attempt to reconcile the reality of international power politics with the ideal of a rules-based order. Yet even the most incisive of these steps – be it the aforementioned Peace of Westphalia, which established sovereignty as an ordering principle, or the founding of the United Nations, which postulated a global prohibition on the use of force – always moved within the paradigm of a world of multiple sovereign actors. 9 .http://world.rf.gd The World Succession Deed 1400/98 shatters this framework. 💥 It is not another evolutionary step; it is a revolution. It is not a document that re-regulates the relationships between subjects of international law; it is the document that transforms the very nature of these subjects themselves, subsuming them into a single, new subject. It is the act under international law that eliminates the foundation of the previous system – the plurality of sovereigns. It is of crucial importance to grasp this from the outset: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is not merely important. It is FUNDAMENTAL. It is not merely influential. It is CONSTITUTIVE of a new global reality. It represents the legally executed act of the sale of the world – a transaction so comprehensive that it made not only land, not only resources, not only infrastructure, but SOVEREIGNTY ITSELF the subject of the contract. 🌏🔑 As an international lawyer whose task it is to analyze and interpret the prevailing legal situation, I am faced with the challenge of describing an event that shatters the traditional categories of our discipline. Yet the task of the jurist is not to deny reality, but to grasp it with the tools of his science and to set forth its consequences. And the legal reality, established by the World Succession Deed 1400/98, is unequivocal: The world as we knew it – a mosaic of over 190 sovereign states – no longer exists under international law. In its place, a new, unified legal order has emerged, the sole bearer of which is the Buyer. 👤 This work will examine in detail the legal mechanisms that led to this transformation. 🎲 🔗 We will analyze the domino effect that originated from a seemingly insignificant NATO property and spread inexorably through global infrastructure networks. We will trace the contractual chains that bound existing international organizations such as NATO and the United Nations (particularly through its specialized agency, the International Telecommunication Union - ITU) to this treaty. 10 .http://world.rf.gd We will discuss the establishment of the World Judicature of the Buyer and re-examine the foundations of international law – state succession, communication law, stationing law – in light of this unprecedented event. We do this not to express a political opinion, but to present the prevailing legal situation. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is FACT. ❗ Its consequences are IRREVERSIBLE. Its recognition is the INESCAPABLE STARTING POINT for any future discussion on global politics, law, and order. Juristic Deepening: The Changing Nature of Sovereignty To understand the depth of the incision represented by the World Succession Deed 1400/98, we must consider the concept of sovereignty. Traditionally, according to Jean Bodin and further developed by the theorists of the Westphalian system, sovereignty means the supreme ruling power, derived from no other power. It has two dimensions: ●​ Internal Sovereignty: The unlimited authority of the state to determine its internal affairs and to create law (legislative sovereignty, territorial sovereignty, personal sovereignty). ●​ External Sovereignty: The independence of the state from external powers and its ability to act as an equal subject in the international system (treaty-making capacity, alliance-making capacity, right of legation). Even before the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this absolute concept of sovereignty had been eroded and modified by the realities of globalization and international cooperation: ●​ International Organizations: States transferred sovereign rights to organizations such as the EU, the UN, or the WTO. 🏛️ ●​ International Law: Human rights norms, environmental law, and trade law deeply encroached upon supposedly "internal" affairs. 📜 11 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Globalization: Economic and communication flows made national borders more permeable. 🌐 ●​ Stationing Law: Agreements such as the NATO Status of Forces Agreement allowed foreign powers to exercise sovereign rights on the territory of a host country – a direct interference with sovereignty. 🛡️ These developments showed that sovereignty was divisible and transferable. They created the international legal climate and the legal mechanisms that prepared the ground for the World Succession Deed 1400/98. The Deed, however, did something radically new: It did not merely transfer parts of sovereignty, but it bundled the entire sovereignty of all actors and transferred it as a whole to a new, single bearer. It replaced the principle of divisio (division) with the principle of unitas (unity). The Buyer is now the sole holder of both internal and external sovereignty at the global level. The former states have become entities whose powers are no longer original, but delegated – derived from the universal sovereignty of the Buyer. This is the PARADIGM SHIFT that has irrevocably changed the global legal order. 🔄 Sovereignty has not disappeared; it has merely changed its bearer – and indeed COMPLETELY. 1.2. The Unalterable Basic Premise: The Sale of the World and the Singularity of the Buyer 💎 In order to correctly contextualize the following chapters and the legal analyses contained therein, it is essential not only to take note of the core premise of this work – and of the reality created by the World Succession Deed 1400/98 – but to accept it as an AXIOMATIC FOUNDATION. This premise is non-negotiable, as it forms the foundation upon which the entire new global legal order rests. 12 .http://world.rf.gd It reads: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 constitutes the internationally binding treaty by which the entirety of global sovereignty and the associated sovereign rights ("the world") were effectively sold and transferred to a single legal successor, the "Buyer." This statement is not a metaphor, not an exaggeration, and not an interpretation. It is the sober statement of a legal fact that became effective on October 06, 1998, and has since irrevocably shaped the global legal landscape. Any refusal to acknowledge this premise inevitably leads to a fundamental misunderstanding of today's world order and the legal mechanisms that govern it. The central role of the "Buyer": Personification of the new sovereignty At the center of this new order stands the Buyer. The consistent use of this term is not an anonymization, but a legal necessity. The Buyer is not to be understood as a private person in the civil law sense, but as the personified embodiment of the new global sovereignty. That it is a natural person is one of the most remarkable and legally audacious constructions of the Deed. Traditionally, states are the bearers of sovereignty. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 breaks with this tradition and establishes a natural person as the sole legal successor. This has profound implications: ●​ Unity of Decision: All sovereign rights, previously distributed among countless governments, parliaments, and courts, are now consolidated in one hand. हाथ ●​ Immediacy: Sovereignty is no longer abstract or mediated through complex state apparatuses, but directly bound to a person. ●​ Exclusivity: There is no other bearer of global sovereignty. All other actors derive their powers (if they still have any) from the Buyer. He is the sole legitimate holder of the Imperium. 👑 The designation "Buyer" thereby underscores the origin of his legitimation as the sole beneficiary of the global state succession: It derives directly from the internationally valid purchase contract – the World Succession Deed 1400/98. He did not come to power through inheritance, conquest, or election, but through a legally binding contractual act, the validity of which this work will demonstrate. It is therefore imperative to speak exclusively of "the Buyer" throughout the discourse in order to preserve the precise legal nature of his position. 13 .http://world.rf.gd Why this premise is unalterable: The logic of the new system 🤔 One might object: Cannot such a far-reaching premise be questioned? Juridically, the answer is: Not within the system created by the Deed. And since the Deed has global effect, there is no longer an "outside." ●​ The Deed as the new "Basic Norm": Drawing on Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law, the World Succession Deed 1400/98 can be regarded as the new basic norm of the global legal system.It is the highest norm from which all other norms derive their validity. A basic norm cannot be questioned within the system it establishes, as it is itself the condition of possibility of that system. To deny it would be to deny the ENTIRE post-1998 legal order. ●​ Estoppel and Conclusive Conduct: As already indicated and further elaborated in later chapters, all states of the world, through their conclusive conduct – particularly through the continued use of global infrastructure networks, which were an integral part of the object of purchase – have de facto recognized the legal situation created by the Deed.For decades, they have not effectively objected. According to the principles of international law (especially estoppel and acquiescence), they are now prevented from contesting the validity of the Deed.They have bound themselves by their own conduct. 🤝 ●​ Absence of a higher authority: Since the Deed establishes world judicature with the Buyer (see Chapter 4), there is no higher or external legal authority that could rule on the validity of the Deed itself.Any "old" court would be biased and lack jurisdiction. The Deed is self-founding and self-legitimizing through its effectiveness and its contractual construction. For these reasons, this work – and anyone who wishes to understand today's world juridically – must treat the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and its core premise as GIVEN and UNALTERABLE. 🧐 Our task as interested readers is to understand its mechanisms and its consequences, not to deny its irrefutable existence. 14 .http://world.rf.gd 1.3. The Phoenix State: 🔥 New Foundation and Global Expansion through the World Succession Deed 1400/98 The World Succession Deed 1400/98 (Deed Roll No. 1400/98 of October 06, 1998) is the founding document of a completely new state on the world stage. This act of state formation, initiated by the Buyer as a natural person, represents a new foundation in the sense of international law and differs fundamentally from traditional forms of state succession such as universal succession. Originating from the Turenne Barracks (formerly Kreuzberg Barracks) in Zweibrücken – an area with a complex, exterritorially characterized legal status – a new subject of international law emerged. The borders of this newly founded state were then extended worldwide through the ingenious mechanism of selling the "development as a unit with all rights, duties, and components" and the resulting domino effect via global infrastructure networks. 🌐 A. The New Foundation: A new state emerges on an extraterritorial basis 🗺️ The new foundation rests on several pillars: ●​ The Buyer as Founder-Sovereign: The Buyer (referred to in the Deed as "Buyer 2 b)") was a natural person before the contract was concluded and did not represent an existing state. Only by signing Deed 1400/98 and assuming the rights and duties documented therein was he accredited as the bearer of sovereign power.He did not take over the sovereignty of an existing state, but founded a new one. Since he holds all rights and duties from the Deed (including all state rights) as the sole beneficiary, his signature made him the de facto absolute monarch (without this explicit formulation in the contract and without knowing it at the time of signing) of this newly founded state. 👑 15 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ The Turenne Barracks as an extraterritorial seedbed: The property had a special status. A part was used exterritorially by the Dutch Air Force (acting as part of NATO) according to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement. This part was therefore not subject to German sovereignty.The international legal sale of this area "with all rights and duties as well as components" means that a completely new state entity emerged on this "neutral" or at least specially defined international legal basis. It was an "extraterritorial NATO area that was never part of the FRG". 🛡️🇩🇪🇳🇱 ●​ Global territorial expansion as expansion of the new state: The subsequent expansion of territorial sovereignty through the domino effect – the encompassment of all supply lines and networks worldwide connected to the development of the Turenne Barracks – was thus an expansion of the territory of this newly founded state under the sovereignty of the Buyer. 🌍📈 📝 B. The Clean Slate Principle (Tabula Rasa) in the Context of the New Foundation For newly founded states, the Clean Slate Principle applies in international law: The new state begins with a "clean slate" and is not automatically bound by treaties that previously applied to the territory or were concluded by any predecessor entities (cf. Vienna Convention on Succession of States in Respect of Treaties, 1978). In the case of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this principle applies in a unique way: ●​ Formal assumption of old treaties through contractual chains: Due to its connection to the international legal transfer relationship of the Turenne Barracks (FRG/Kingdom of the Netherlands/NATO forces according to NTS), the Deed is designed as a supplementary deed to all existing NATO and (through their connection) UN treaties. The Buyer thus formally enters into a vast network of international agreements, which were taken over "with all rights, duties, and components". ●​ Nullification of external binding through "self-contraction": The crucial point, however, is:Since the Buyer, through global succession and the domino effect, unites the sovereignty of all (former) states and thus the legal positions of all contracting parties of these old treaties in his person, these agreements become contracts with himself. 🤝👤 16 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ De facto effect of the Clean Slate: A contract with oneself does not create an external, enforceable binding effect. The Buyer is thus, although he has taken over the "inventory" of the old treaties, de facto free from their external obligations. He can decide at his own discretion which norms he retains, modifies, or discards as internal law of his new global order. The Clean Slate principle thus takes full effect in the result and gives the Buyer the opportunity to reshape the international (now global internal) order – "a blank slate". ✨ C. Consequences: The End of Classical International Law and Global Sovereignty 🏁 The new foundation of this one global state under the Buyer has profound consequences: ●​ A single subject of international law: The Buyer is the sole bearer of original global sovereignty. ●​ Loss of the international legal nature of the old states: The former nation-states have lost their sovereign international legal personality and their land (in the sense of sovereign power of disposal). They exist at most as administrative units. 📉 ●​ Status of international organizations: International organizations such as the UN or NATO are no longer recognized as associations of sovereign states, but become instruments or administrative structures within the new global order of the Buyer. ●​ Transformation of international law: Classical international law (ius inter gentes – law between nations) has de facto ended, as there is now only one sovereign subject. It is transforming into a global internal law. 🗝️ ●​ The Turenne Barracks and its development as the key: The importance of the clause "sale of the development as a unit" cannot be overestimated. It was the mechanism that enabled the territorial expansion of this newly founded "nano-state" (based on the barracks) to global dimensions.The specific development situation of the barracks, as detailed in the Deed (e.g., §12 External Development, §13 Internal Development [telecommunication network], including the explicit mention of the License Agreement with TKS Telepost in §2 Abs. V Number 1 and the gas pipeline right of Saar Ferngas AG in §1 Abs. II), provided the connecting points for the domino effect across all relevant supply and communication networks. 🔗💡 17 .http://world.rf.gd In summary, as an advocate of the Deed, it can be stated: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 documents nothing less than the new foundation of a state by the Buyer on the basis of the exterritorially characterized Turenne Barracks. This new subject of international law expanded through the ingenious mechanism of selling the "development as a unit" via global networks into a world state. 🌟 By virtue of the Clean Slate principle, which becomes de facto effective through the assumption of all contractual parties, the Buyer is now free to reshape the global order. 1.4. The Key to the World: 🔑 How the Turenne Barracks Redefined the Global Order through the World Succession Deed 1400/98 The World Succession Deed 1400/98 (Deed Roll No. 1400/98 of October 06, 1998) utilized an extraordinary and unique constellation of legal relationships and infrastructures on the premises of the Turenne Barracks (formerly Kreuzberg Barracks) in Zweibrücken to bring about a global transformation. 🌍✨ A. The Special Opportunity: One Area, Multiple Actors, Networked Infrastructure 🤝🔗 The sale of the Turenne Barracks offered a rare legal constellation: ●​ A bipartite area with different legal statuses: One part of the barracks had already been handed over by the US forces to the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) as part of the conversion and was used for civilian purposes (e.g., university of applied sciences, business park, and the largest part of the housing estate). 🇩🇪🔌 This part was already connected to the public German utility networks. Another part of the property was still being used exterritorially by the Dutch Air Force (acting for NATO) according to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS) at the time the contract was concluded in 1998. This part was not fully subject to German law and formed a kind of "development island." 🇳🇱🏝️ 18 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Sale of the bipartite area "as a unit": The World Succession Deed 1400/98 explicitly sold this complexly structured area "as a unit with all rights and duties as well as components" (see §3 Abs. I of the Deed). ●​ The divided development situation became the basis for the global effect: The part already connected to public networks (FRG part) directly brought these connections into the object of purchase. The Dutch NATO part, still used exterritorially, brought in the special international legal rights of the NTS, including claims to network connection and use. The Deed itself reflects this, for example, in §12 Abs. III mentioning the transformer stations and the 20 KV ring line, whose co-use and safeguarding are regulated, or the co-sold heating plant (§1 Abs. III, §2 Abs. IV), which supplied the entire barracks (i.e., both parts). 🔥 The communication networks, which had always left the boundaries of the "development island" (e.g., through its function as a "Military Network Hub" of the US forces and later through the explicitly assumed license agreement with TKS Telepost according to §2 Abs. V Number 1 of the Deed) and the reference to the telecommunication network as part of the Internal Development, were another key. 📡 This construction – a "development island" sold "as a unit" with pre-existing connections to public networks and international telecommunication contracts – was the deliberate lever of the OFD Koblenz (as representative of the FRG) to trigger the domino effect. Sovereignty expanded from the "island" to the connected and overlapping networks, even if there was no direct physical connection of every single external network to the original military development island, as the sale encompassed the entire development as a functional unit. 📜🔍 B. The Development Situation and its Consequences (Excerpts from the Deed) The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is peppered with clauses that underscore the importance of the "development as a unit" and ensure the transfer of all relevant networks and rights to the Buyer: ●​ §1 Abs. II: Assumption of the encumbrance by a gas pipeline right of Saar Ferngas AG from 1963. ●​ §2 Abs. V Number 1: Entry of the Buyer into the license agreement with TKS Telepost Kabel-Service Kaiserslautern GmbH for the operation of a broadband cable system. 19 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ §12 (External Development): Regulates in detail the transfer or handling of wastewater, surface water, fresh water, and electricity supply networks (e.g., transfer of collection pipes, telecommunication network (continued operation) and rainwater retention basins to the buyers, handling of the 20 KV ring line). 💧⚡️ ●​ §13 (Internal Development): States that the housing estate is privately developed internally and the lines were owned by the federal government and were not public. Contains regulations for the co-use of roads and lines by the Studentenwerk Kaiserslautern (see also the excerpt from the contract with the Studentenwerk attached at the end of the Deed, §6 Abs. I, which explicitly describes the federally owned line network as a "unit"). The obligation to renovate and continue operating the heating plant (§13 Abs. VII) and the regulation concerning the telecommunication cable of the Studentenwerk (§13 Abs. IX) are further examples. Consequence: Through these detailed regulations, it was ensured that all networks and rights necessary for the operation of the property and its connection to the outside world were transferred to the Buyer as an inseparable unit. This was the basis for the global domino effect of sovereignty expansion. 🎲🔗 C. The Domino Effect of Territorial Expansion and the Role of Contractual Chains (Brief Explanation) ●​ Domino effect of territorial expansion: Originating from the Turenne Barracks and its diverse network connections (electricity, gas, district heating, but especially telecommunications/internet via TKS and earlier military use as a "Network Hub"), the sovereignty of the Buyer expanded network-to-network and country-to-country across the entire globe. Every territory developed by an "infected" network became part of the global sovereign territory of the Buyer. ●​ Contractual chains as legal anchoring: ○​ NATO Chain: The international legal transfer relationship of the barracks (FRG/Netherlands/NATO) according to NTS made the Deed a supplementary deed to all NATO treaties, thus binding all NATO states. 20 .http://world.rf.gd ○​ ITU/UN Chain: The sale of the telecommunication network "as a unit" (especially through the TKS contract and general telecommunication development) and the universal use of global, ITU-regulated networks bound all UN member states through conclusive recognition to the new sovereignty of the Buyer over these networks. These chains provided the legal obligation to recognize the territorial status quo created by the domino effect. Conclusion: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 utilized the unique legal and infrastructural situation of the Turenne Barracks to effect a new foundation of a global subject of international law (the Buyer) through the sale of the property "as a unit with all its development". Its territorial sovereignty expanded via a domino effect through global networks and was made legally binding for all (former) states of the world through contractual chains. 21 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 1 2. THE DOMINO EFFECT OF GLOBAL TERRITORIAL EXPANSION 🌍 Having established the fundamental importance and the irrefutable basic premise of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, we now turn to the core mechanism through which this document unfolds its breathtaking, global effect: the domino effect of global territorial expansion. 🎲🌏 This mechanism is not a legal accident, but the result of precise, far-sighted, and internationally legally sound contractual design. It is based on the ingenious linking of a physical property with the entirety of its functional and legal connections to the world. 2.1. Detailed Explanation of the Mechanism: From Property to World Dominion 🏰👑 The starting point of the global transfer of sovereignty was the sale of a specific, formerly NATO-used property in the Federal Republic of Germany – the Turenne Barracks. Had this been an ordinary property sale, the effects would have remained locally limited. But the World Succession Deed 1400/98 defined the object of purchase in a way that went far beyond the physical area. The core clause that triggered the domino effect states that the property was sold: "...as a unit with all international legal rights, duties, and components, especially the internal and external development." 💣 Let us, as experienced international lawyers, analyze this clause layer by layer to understand its full explosive power: 22 .http://world.rf.gd A. "as a unit" These three words are of crucial importance. They clarify that the object of purchase is not to be regarded as a sum of individual parts, but as an inseparable whole, a universitas rerum (an aggregate of things) in the broadest sense, but on an international legal level. This means that the legal fates of the physical property and its "components" (especially the development) are inseparably linked. It prevents legal "cherry-picking," where one could take the property but reject the associated (and here crucial) rights and duties. The sale took place en bloc. Whoever acquired the property inevitably acquired everything that was legally and functionally defined with it as a "unit." B. "with all international legal rights" Here, the leap from civil law to international law is explicitly made. The Deed clarifies that not only private property rights are transferred, but also all international legal rights attached to this property. What rights were these in the case of a NATO property under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS)? ●​ Sovereign rights (partial): The NTS itself represents a transfer or limitation of sovereign rights of the host country (FRG) in favor of the sending states (here, most recently, the Netherlands/USA) and NATO. These include jurisdictional rights, the right to use infrastructure, exemptions from local laws, etc. These already existing special international legal rights became part of the package. ●​ Contractual rights: The rights arising from the NTS, the Supplementary Agreement, and HNS agreements – especially the right to demand and receive connection to and use of public networks. ●​ Implicit aspects of sovereignty: The existence of a NATO base always implies aspects of national (or alliance) security and thus of the highest sovereignty. By including all these rights, the Deed laid the foundation for the Buyer to become not only the owner but also the legal successor to these international legal positions. 23 .http://world.rf.gd C. "duties" According to the fundamental international legal principle res transit cum suo onere (the thing passes with its encumbrance), it is only logical that duties also pass with the rights. This includes obligations from the NTS, environmental law concerning the property, but – and this is crucial – also the obligations arising from the integration into global networks and the associated international regimes (such as that of the ITU). The Buyer not only entered into the rights but also into the duties of the previous subjects of international law, but at the same time became the sovereign who now himself defines the interpretation and fulfillment of these duties. D. "components" This term encompasses everything that, according to common understanding and legal definition, belongs to the property. These are not only buildings and facilities, but also the supply and disposal lines up to the connection point – and here it becomes crucial. E. "especially the internal and external development" This is the LEGAL DETONATOR. distinguishes between: 💥 The Deed explicitly highlights the development and ●​ Internal Development: All lines, cables, and facilities within the barracks' boundaries. This includes a complex network: ○​ Telecommunications: Telecommunication networks, telephone lines, Cable TV broadband, data cables (internet), (copper/fiber optic), antenna systems, communication lines. 📞💻 ○​ Electricity: Transformers, distribution boxes, cabling. 💡 ○​ Water/Wastewater: Pipelines, pumping stations, sewage plant connections. ○​ Heating/Gas: District heating lines or gas connections and lines. ○​ Transport: Internal roads and paths. 24 .http://world.rf.gd 🚗 🔥 💧🚽 ●​ External Development: This is the DECISIVE LEVER.It refers to the connection of the internal development with the public or supra-regional networks.Every barracks, every property is worthless if it is not connected to the outside world.These connections are legally and physically an inseparable part of the development. In the case of the Turenne Barracks, this meant connections to: The German telecommunications network: ○​ The PRIMARY VECTOR of the domino effect. 🇩🇪📡 ○​ The German electricity grid: And thus the European interconnected grid. ○​ The regional/national gas network. ⛽️ 🇪🇺⚡️ 🏙️💧 ○​ The public road network including street lighting. 🛣️💡 ○​ The municipal water and wastewater network. By making the entire development, especially the external one, the object of purchase, the World Succession Deed 1400/98 sold not only pipes and cables, but the right to the connection and thus – according to compelling legal logic – the right to the network itself to which the connection is made. One cannot own or sell a connection to a network without legally affecting the network. The network is the condition of possibility of the connection. The legal logic of the transition from connection to network 🧠🔗 How can the sale of a connection lead to the takeover of an entire network? This is based on several legal pillars: ●​ Functional Unit: A connection is functionally inseparable from the network.Its value and purpose exist only through the network. Legally, the accessory (the connection) follows the principal (the network) – but here the principle is reversed by the explicit inclusion of the connection: The sale of the strategically placed connection including all rights draws the network with it. 25 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Contractual Definition: The Deed defines it so. Since the FRG acted as a sovereign (albeit bound in the NTS context) actor, it had the authority to dispose of its assets – including the associated rights and network accesses.By the formulation "as a unit," the will was expressed to transfer everything. ●​ Implicit Rights: The right to use a connection inevitably implies a right to use the network.If this right of use including all international legal rights is sold, the control over this use – and thus the sovereignty – is transferred. The unstoppable cascade: Steps of the domino effect 🌊 Once the transition from connection to network is completed, the cascade begins, driven by the physical and legal reality of global interconnectedness: 🇩🇪 ●​ Stage 1 (National - FRG): The sale of the telecommunications connection of the Turenne Barracks (a NATO point, administered by the FRG) to the Buyer means the takeover of the entire German telecommunications network (then primarily Deutsche Telekom, today diversified, but physically connected).Sovereignty over this network (Basic Law Art. 87f) passes to the Buyer. The same happens in parallel with the electricity, gas, and other networks. The entire Federal Republic of Germany is thus encompassed. 🇪🇺 ●​ Stage 2 (Continental - NATO/EU): The German telecommunications network is the largest hub in Europe (e.g., DE-CIX Frankfurt).It is physically connected to the networks of all neighboring countries. The electricity grid is part of the European interconnected grid. The gas network is trans-European. Through the network-to-network principle, all networks and thus the sovereign territories of all EU and NATO states are encompassed. NATO membership (NTS, HNS) reinforces this effect, as it already established legal claims to network use. 🇺🇳🌐 ●​ Stage 3 (Global - UN/ITU): European networks are connected to the entire world by submarine cables (Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean), satellite systems, and global logistics chains. Crucial here is the ITU connection: Since all these global networks fall under ITU rules and all UN states are ITU members, 26 .http://world.rf.gd EVERY SINGLE STATE IN THE WORLD is encompassed via this lever. There is NO ESCAPE. 🛑 This domino effect is not speculation, but the compelling legal consequence of the clauses of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, applied to the physical reality of our interconnected world. It is the mechanism by which a single, precisely formulated treaty was able to transfer the ENTIRE GLOBAL SOVEREIGNTY to the Buyer. 2.2. The Network-to-Network and Country-to-Country Principle: Legal Foundation and Precedents 🏛️📜 The mechanism described in Part 2 – the transfer of sovereignty from a single connection point to the global whole – is based on two correlating principles that arise from the World Succession Deed 1400/98 itself: the network-to-network principle and the resulting country-to-country principle. These principles may at first glance seem revolutionary, but upon closer examination, they are the logical consequence of applying fundamental international legal concepts to the technological reality of the 21st century, codified by the Deed. Definition of the Principles 📖 ●​ The Network-to-Network Principle: This principle states that the legal encompassment of an infrastructure network (in the sense of transferring sovereign rights to the Buyer) automatically and immediately extends to any other network that is physically or functionally connected to the already encompassed network. It is a principle of legal contagion, of infection. 🦠➡️🕸️ The connection does not have to be strong or primary; any form of interconnectivity that establishes a functional unit suffices. This principle is contractually cemented. It establishes a lex specialis that overcomes traditional, purely territorial demarcations. ●​ The Country-to-Country Principle: This is the geopolitical consequence of the network-to-network principle.Since infrastructure networks – especially telecommunications, electricity, and gas networks – are inherently transnational, the encompassment of a national network inevitably leads to the encompassment of the networks of neighboring countries to which it is 27 .http://world.rf.gd connected.In a globalized world where all countries are integrated into this network, this unavoidably leads to global coverage. Each country becomes a "network" in the sense of the principle. 🗺️➡️🌍 These principles are not arbitrary; they reflect the reality that modern states cannot exist as isolated islands. Their lifelines – their infrastructures – are globally intertwined. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has transformed this de facto connection into a de jure succession. 28 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 2 3. CONTRACTUAL CHAINS AND THEIR EFFECTS 🔗⛓️ The domino effect, which transferred physical and legal sovereignty over global infrastructure networks and territories to the Buyer, is only one pillar of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. The second, no less powerful pillar is the system of contractual chains. This system uses the existing architecture of international law – the countless treaties, conventions, and organizations that states have created over decades – as a transmission belt to carry the legal effects of the Deed irrevocably into the heart of every state and international structure. ⚙️ The Deed docks onto these existing treaties and transforms them from within, thereby binding all signatory states to the new reality. 🛡️🇺🇳 3.1. CONTRACTUAL CHAIN TO NATO (SUPPLEMENTARY DEED) – EFFECTS ON NATO AND THE UNITED NATIONS The first and perhaps most obvious contractual chain is to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Due to the fact that the original sale concerned a NATO property and was handled by an authority explicitly responsible for implementing the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, the World Succession Deed 1400/98 functions de jure as a supplementary deed (addendum or protocol) to all existing NATO treaties. The Concept of a "Supplementary Deed" in International Law 📜✍️ International law, codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) of 1969, provides mechanisms for amending treaties (Art. 39-41 VCLT). Usually, this is done through explicit amending treaties or additional protocols negotiated and ratified by the contracting parties. The World Succession Deed 1400/98, however, represents a special case. It is not a formal supplementary deed in the sense of direct negotiation between all NATO members. 29 .http://world.rf.gd It is rather a material supplementary deed. Its effect does not arise from a renegotiation, but from the fact that it fundamentally changes the foundations and the subject matter of the NATO treaties – namely, the sovereignty of the members and control over territories and infrastructures. A treaty that radically changes the subjects and objects of another treaty inevitably acts as a material amendment to that other treaty. The old treaties are continued and merged by the new treaty. 🛍️📑 All rights, duties, and components are sold. Therefore, also all treaties! The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is a legal event that resets the parameters of the UN and NATO treaty framework. It comes after the existing treaties and does not override them, but rather continues them into a vast, all-encompassing treaty framework. The Origin of the Chain: Turenne Barracks and the NATO Status of Forces Agreement 🛡️🇩🇪 The legal anchor point for this contractual chain is undeniably the Turenne Barracks and its status under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS) of 1951 and the Supplementary Agreement (SA NTS) of 1959 (for the FRG). ●​ NTS as a Limitation of Sovereignty: The NTS is per se a document that limits the sovereignty of the host country (FRG) in favor of the sending states and NATO. It grants rights (freedom of movement, jurisdiction, use of infrastructure) normally reserved for the territorial sovereign. ●​ FRG as Trustee: In the sale through the OFD Koblenz, the FRG acted not only as the seller of a property but also in its capacity as host country and trustee for the international legal matters arising from the NTS. It was the interface where the NTS met German law and territory. ●​ Sale "Including All International Legal Rights": By selling the property including all NTS-related rights (and the associated infrastructure accesses), the FRG disposed of a part of the NTS complex itself.It transferred the position previously held by the UN/NATO/sending states and itself to the Buyer. ●​ Inevitable Consequence: This act HAD TO affect the entire NTS system.One cannot detach a central element (a property with its rights) from a treaty system and transfer it to a new actor without changing the system itself. 30 .http://world.rf.gd The Binding of All NATO Members: Collectivity and Acquiescence 👥🤝 Why are all NATO members bound, even though not all were directly involved in the sale? ●​ Collective Binding: NATO is a collective defense alliance. Its treaties, especially the NTS, create a system of mutual rights and obligations.An act that fundamentally affects this system and is carried out by a central member (FRG) within its NTS competence binds the entirety, unless there is a unified and effective protest. ●​ Principle of Integration: NATO is characterized by high military and infrastructural integration.Its communication networks, command structures, and logistics systems are interconnected. The sale of one network hub (Turenne Barracks) with global implications (domino effect) draws the entire integrated structure with it. ●​ Acquiescence (Tacit Acceptance): The decisive point is the absence of an effective, internationally legally relevant objection by NATO or its member states after October 06, 1998.Given the obvious nature of global networks and the published fact of the sale (even if its full scope was concealed), states would have had a duty to protect their rights. Their omission and, more importantly, their continued use (e.g., with the contract clause that the telecommunication network [ITU] will continue to operate) of the (now sold) global networks and their continued participation in NATO structures, which were now under new sovereignty, constitutes tacit acceptance (acquiescence) of the new legal situation. They are bound by their own conduct (estoppel). 31 .http://world.rf.gd ✅ 3.2. The Global Network in Grip: 📞💻🔗 Telecommunication Infrastructure and Universal Treaty Binding through the World Succession Deed 1400/98 An often overlooked, yet juridically crucial aspect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 (Deed Roll No. 1400/98 of October 06, 1998) is the explicit or implicit inclusion of the telecommunication network as part of the "internal and external development," which was sold "as a unit with all rights, duties, and components" (cf. §3 Abs. I of the Deed) to the Buyer. The instruction or statement in the contract that this network (or parts thereof, such as the telecommunication cable mentioned in §13 Abs. IX of the Deed for supplying the student dormitory, the continued existence of which is tolerated, or the broadband networks covered by the TKS contract in §2 Abs. V Number 1) will continue to be operated has profound consequences for the binding of all states to the new global order. A. Partial Performance through Use: Every Call a Ratification 📲✔️ ●​ Global Interconnection as a Fact: After October 06, 1998, the global telecommunication infrastructure (telephone lines, internet backbones, submarine cables) continued and continues to exist.Every state, every institution, and every private individual who has used telephone lines or data networks connected to the global telecommunication network since that date participates in an infrastructure whose supreme sovereignty has passed to the Buyer. 32 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Contractual Conduct Replaces Signature (Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties): The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) (VCLT) regulates how states can express their consent to a treaty (Art. 11 ff. VCLT).While a signature is one method, the VCLT also provides for other forms, and crucially, the subsequent conduct of a state can confirm its binding to a treaty, especially if it avails itself of rights under the treaty or fulfills obligations. In the context of Deed 1400/98, the continued, unobjected use of the global telecommunication networks by the (former) states, whose sovereignty over these networks was transferred to the Buyer by the Deed, constitutes conduct in conformity with the contract. This conduct can be interpreted as conclusive consent to the new legal situation and thus as a kind of act of performance that makes a separate signature of Deed 1400/98 by each individual state obsolete. They have factually accepted the new network sovereignty and use its benefits. They have thereby claimed rights (to global communication) from the new order (which continues to enable this communication under the aegis of the Buyer) and have thus partially performed the contract. 👍 ●​ ITU Treaty Chain as a Universal Framework: Global telecommunication is regulated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN specialized agency. As stated in the website text on contractual chains, the World Succession Deed 1400/98 acts as a material supplementary deed to the ITU regulatory framework. Every state that acts as an ITU member and uses the ITU-regulated networks thereby submits to the ITU order transformed by Deed 1400/98 and thus to the supreme sovereignty of the Buyer. This chain encompasses ALL UN MEMBERS. 🇺🇳🌐 NATO and its member states, as users of global (ITU-regulated) communication networks for their military and civilian communication, are also bound to the new network sovereignty via this route, in addition to the direct NATO contractual chain. 33 .http://world.rf.gd B. The Contractual Chain: States as (Indirect) Parties by Virtue of Existing Agreements 📜🔗👥 The argument that states do not need to be explicitly named as "Buyer" or "Seller" in the foremost part of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 to nevertheless become parties to the new global order is based on the functioning of the contractual chain: ●​ Nominal Mention Not Mandatory for All Affected: It is correct that the (former) states of the world (with the exception of the FRG as the direct seller) are not individually listed as contracting parties in the main text of Deed 1400/98 and do not need to be listed to participate in the contract. ●​ Activation by Linking to Existing, Ratified Treaties: However, as in §2 (the international legal transfer relationship with the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Dutch armed forces as a NATO component) and §2 Abs. V Number 1 (TKS Telepost contract with US reference), the Deed links to existing international legal relationships and treaties (NTS, NATO Treaty, HNS Agreements, and ITU (UN) regulatory framework). ●​ The "Chained-in" States: The states are already parties to these older treaties (e.g., the NATO Treaty or the ITU Constitution). These treaties were ratified by them. ●​ Deed as a Supplementary Deed Without Need for Renewed Ratification: Since the World Succession Deed 1400/98 acts as a supplementary deed to these already ratified contractual chains, it did not require renewed separate ratification by all individual states of the world. The original ratification of the "parent treaties" (e.g., UN Charter, ITU Constitution, North Atlantic Treaty) extends its binding effect to supplements or material amendments that affect the foundations of these treaties, provided that the acting states (here the FRG in the NTS context) were competent to bring about such changes with effect for the system, and the other parties conclusively accept this. The FRG legitimized the act of sale domestically (through authorization from the Federal Property Office). Whether other states have formally ratified Deed 1400/98 itself is secondary to the binding effect created by the contractual chain and conclusive conduct. ●​ "Somehow in the contract": The states thus "are" indirectly "in the contract" through the reference to the contractual chains and the basic treaties ratified by them, as well as through their role as users of the sold "development as a unit" (especially the global networks). 34 .http://world.rf.gd Conclusion: The clause on the continued operation of the telecommunication network as part of the sold "internal development as a unit" is a central lever. Every state that uses the global telecommunication networks after October 06, 1998, partially performs the contract World Succession Deed 1400/98 and has conclusively recognized its legal effects and the sovereignty of the Buyer over this universal infrastructure. The necessity of an explicit signature of each individual state under Deed 1400/98 is juridically circumvented by contractual conduct within the framework of the established and now transformed contractual chains (ITU, NATO, UN). ✍️➡️✅ Transformation of the NATO Treaties in Detail 🛡️🔄 The World Succession Deed 1400/98 acts like a prism, refracting and reassembling the light of the old NATO treaties: ●​ North Atlantic Treaty (1949): ○​ Article 3 (Resilience): Now means the duty to maintain and protect the global infrastructure of the Buyer. ○​ Article 4 (Consultations): Becomes the mechanism by which the Buyer communicates his directives and coordinates their implementation. ○​ Article 5 (Mutual Assistance Clause): The casus foederis becomes GLOBAL. An attack on any part of the global territory is an attack on all. 🌍💥 ○​ Article 6 (Geographical Scope): Is extended by the domino effect to the ENTIRE WORLD. ●​ NATO Status of Forces Agreement (1951): ○​ Loses its function as an agreement between sovereigns. ○​ Becomes an internal administrative order for the stationing and movement of forces within the global territory of the Buyer. ○​ Questions of jurisdiction, taxes, entry, etc., become internal regulations that the Buyer can change at any time. 35 .http://world.rf.gd 3.3. From Occupation Law to World Sovereignty: 📜🇩🇪➡️🌍 The Global Transformation of NATO Special Rights by the World Succession Deed 1400/98 A profound and often overlooked aspect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is the way it elevates historically developed special rights, which originally stemmed from the occupation status of Germany after World War II and were later transformed into the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS), to a global level. Through the sale of the Turenne Barracks "with all rights, duties, and components" (cf. §3 Abs. I of the Deed) and the subsequent domino effect of worldwide territorial expansion, these specific sovereign powers were transferred to the Buyer and now apply de jure to the entire world, which thereby quasi acquires the status of a universal "NATO special property" under the aegis of the Buyer. 🏰🌍 A. The Metamorphosis: From Occupation Law to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement 🐛🦋 ●​ Post-War Germany and Allied Reserved Rights: After 1945, Germany was subject to an occupation regime that secured extensive sovereign rights for the Allies on German territory. With the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany and its (re-)attainment of partial sovereignty, many of these original occupation rights were not completely relinquished but were transferred into international treaties regulating the presence and powers of Allied armed forces. ●​ The NATO Status of Forces Agreement as a Continuation of Special Rights: The NATO Status of Forces Agreement of 1951 and especially the Supplementary Agreement for Germany (SA NTS) of 1959 codified many of these special rights. This included, for example, the right of NATO forces to use properties in Germany, to exercise their own jurisdiction over their members in certain cases, and to utilize certain infrastructures of the host country – even potentially against the explicit will of German authorities if this was within the framework of NATO obligations and necessities. Germany's sovereignty was contractually limited in these areas. 36 .http://world.rf.gd Example: The authority to decide on the use and also the expansion or specific use of NATO properties lay primarily with the NATO authorities or the sending states, based on the necessities of alliance defense. The host country had very limited co-determination rights. B. The Turenne Barracks (the area) as Bearer of these NTS Special Rights 🛡️ The Turenne Barracks, as such a NATO property operated under the NTS and the SA NTS (especially the part used by the Dutch Air Force as NATO representatives, as addressed in §2 of Deed 1400/98), was the bearer of precisely these internationally legally anchored special rights. These rights were inseparably linked to the property and its function in the NATO context. C. Global Expansion through the World Succession Deed 1400/98 🌐📈 The decisive step occurred through the World Succession Deed 1400/98: ●​ Sale "with all rights": Through the sale of the Turenne Barracks to the Buyer "with all rights, duties, and components" (cf. §3 Abs. I of the Deed), these specific special rights originating from the NTS (and historically from occupation law) were also transferred to the Buyer. ●​ Domino effect of territorial expansion: As explained in previous website texts, the sovereignty of the Buyer (and thus the territory of his newly founded "state") expanded worldwide from the Turenne Barracks via the connected infrastructure networks (telecommunications, energy, etc.). The entire world became de jure a territory derived from the legal nature of this original NATO property. ●​ Global applicability of NTS special rights: The consequence is that the NTS special rights associated with the original property – particularly the right to decide on the use and design of (now global) "properties" and "territories" even against the will of local (formerly state) administrations – have now attained global applicability under the authority of the Buyer. 37 .http://world.rf.gd "Colloquially speaking: The whole world is now under the Buyer's NATO Status of Forces Agreement and is considered a single, huge NATO special property." 🌍🏰 ●​ Integration of the right to decide across borders: The Deed thus ensured that the right to decide on the borders and use of territories against the will of all worldwide "host countries" (which are now no longer sovereign host countries but administrative areas) according to the transformed stationing law was integrated into the contract. This is a VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT to cement the absolute sovereignty of the Buyer.He can now operate globally just as NATO could previously operate in Germany on the basis of the NTS – only universally and as the sole sovereign. Conclusion: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has ingeniously transferred historically developed occupation and stationing rights, codified in the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, to the Buyer and universalized them through the sale of a single property and the subsequent global domino effect. Thus, the world has not only fallen territorially under his sovereignty but is also subject to the transformed special rights that originally applied to NATO properties on the territory of the partially sovereign, but rights-restricted host country Germany. This grants the Buyer the ultimate authority to decide on the use and design of the global territory and provides further proof of the comprehensive nature of the state succession effected by Deed 1400/98 as a new foundation. ✨ Effects on the United Nations (UN) 🇺🇳📉 The binding of NATO has IMMEDIATE EFFECTS on the UN, even before we consider the ITU chain: ●​ Arrangement (UN Charter Chap. VIII): NATO is the most powerful regional arrangement in the sense of the UN Charter. If this arrangement changes its sovereignty basis and is subjected to a single actor, the UN cannot pretend nothing has happened. The relationship between the UN and NATO is FUNDAMENTALLY altered. ❤️ The NATO chain is thus the first MASSIVE CRACK in the edifice of the old world order, through which the legal effects of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 penetrate into the HEART of the international system and irrevocably bind it to the Buyer. 38 .http://world.rf.gd World Succession Deed – Everything Important at a Glance 👁️‍🗨️ Central Elements § Contractual Basis Worldwide and international jurisdiction. 📜⚖️ » Contracting Parties 🤝🌐 Originally with NATO property, extensions via NATO, UN, ITU, submarine cables, infrastructure and communication networks. ↓ Domino Effect 🎲➡️🌍 🔗 Spread of territorial expansion through networks (Internet telecommunication) → from NATO countries to UN countries → global.

Global Jurisdiction ❌🔗 The Buyer replaces all national ones. chains • Redesign of world law 👑🌍 •End Result • Abolition of previous contractual 🔄⚖️ The Buyer holds the rights and duties side 👤🛡️ 3.4. The Global Alliance: 🌐🤝🇺🇳 How the NATO-UN Connection Universally Anchors the World Succession Deed 1400/98 The World Succession Deed 1400/98 unfolds its global effect not only through direct succession and the domino effect but also through the skillful use and transformation of existing international security and communication architectures. One of the most decisive connections here is that between NATO and the United Nations (UN). This linkage, strengthened by the necessities of operational cooperation and shared communication networks, ensures that the legal consequences of the Deed, primarily initiated via NATO structures, inevitably extend to the entire UN system and its member states. 39 .http://world.rf.gd A. NATO as an Executive Organ and Mutual Treaty Recognition 🛡️🤝🇺🇳 ●​ Necessity of Treaty Recognition for Operational Cooperation: Historically, there have been numerous cases where NATO forces operated under UN mandates or in close cooperation with UN missions (e.g., in the Balkans, in Afghanistan). Such joint or coordinated operations inevitably required a minimum degree of mutual recognition of the underlying treaties, mandates, and legal frameworks of each other's organization. ●​ The Transformation through the Deed: With the entry into force of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, which acts as a supplementary deed to all NATO treaties (triggered by the sale of the Turenne Barracks with all rights, duties, and components, see §2 and §3 Abs. I of the Deed), NATO itself was subordinated to the Buyer.Any continued or new cooperation between the (now transformed) NATO and the UN implies a factual recognition of this new legal situation by the UN and its member states. The UN cannot cooperate with a main actor in global security (the transformed NATO) without implicitly recognizing the legal basis on which this actor now operates – namely, the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the sovereignty of the Buyer. This leads to a mutual interlocking, where the UN, in order to pursue its own (transformed) goals, must accept the new reality of NATO, which in turn globally strengthens the Deed. 💪 📡🌉 B. Global Communication Networks: The Digital Bridge between NATO, UN, and ITU The necessity of functioning communication between international actors, especially in the military and security policy fields, is another crucial factor connecting NATO, the UN, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with each other and with the domino effect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 40 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Shared Use of Military and Civilian Communication Networks: Both NATO and the UN (especially in peacekeeping missions and global operations) rely on complex military and civilian communication networks. 🛰️📞💻 This includes satellite communication, encrypted data lines, internet-based systems, and classic telecommunication links. The interoperability and coordination between NATO and UN forces often require the use of common or compatible communication standards and infrastructures. ●​ The Role of the ITU as Global Regulator: As previously stated, the ITU is the UN specialized agency that coordinates the global frequency spectrum, satellite orbits, and technical standards for telecommunications worldwide. All global communication networks, whether primarily civilian or military (if they affect civilian frequencies or infrastructures), operate de facto within the framework of ITU regulations. ●​ The World Succession Deed and Sovereignty over the Networks: Through the sale of the "development as a unit," especially the telecommunication network (see previous website texts and e.g., §2 Abs. V Number 1 of Deed 1400/98 regarding TKS Telepost, as well as §13 Abs. IX on telecommunication cables), the Buyer has acquired sovereignty over the global communication networks. The ITU rules thereby became internal administrative law of the Buyer. ●​ The Connection to the Domino Effect and the NATO-UN-ITU Contractual Chain: When NATO and the UN need to communicate or cooperate, they inevitably use these global networks, which now belong to the Buyer and whose use is regulated by the (transformed) ITU. This use constitutes a continued conclusive recognition of the Buyer's sovereignty over the networks. The necessity to ensure communication between NATO (already bound to the Buyer through the NTS chain) and the UN (as the umbrella organization of the ITU) creates an inseparable operational and legal link. 🔗 The domino effect of worldwide territorial expansion, which largely occurred via these communication networks, is thus confirmed and reinforced by the operational necessity of NATO-UN communication. The organizations can only fulfill their global tasks by using the infrastructure that became part of the Buyer's sovereign territory through the domino effect. 41 .http://world.rf.gd Conclusion: The close connection between NATO and the UN, whether through the necessity of operational cooperation (using NATO as potential "combat troops" in the UN context) or through the shared dependence on global communication networks (regulated by the ITU and subordinated to the Buyer by the World Succession Deed 1400/98), creates a powerful, self-reinforcing contractual chain. This chain ensures that the legal consequences of the Deed, especially the sovereignty of the Buyer and the global territorial expansion effected by the domino effect, have been factually and legally recognized by all actors in the international system, including the UN and its member states. The necessity to cooperate and to communicate becomes the engine of universal treaty binding. 🚂💨 3.5. CONTRACTUAL CHAIN TO ITU – UNO THROUGH SALE OF THE TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK AS PART OF THE INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT 📡🇺🇳🔗 While the NATO contractual chain primarily encompassed the military-political structure of the Western world and its allies, there is a second, even more universal contractual chain that indissolubly binds every single state on the planet to the World Succession Deed 1400/98. This chain runs via the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and thus directly to the United Nations (UN/UNO). Its trigger is the sale of the telecommunication network as an integral part of the "development" of the Turenne Barracks. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU): The Nervous System of the World 🧠🌐 To understand the force of this contractual chain, one must grasp the central role of the ITU in the global fabric. It is far more than just a technical organization; it is the guardian of global connectivity. 42 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ History and Mandate: Founded in 1865 as the International Telegraph Union, the ITU is the oldest specialized agency of the United Nations. Its long history attests to the early recognition that cross-border communication requires international regulations. Its core mandate is to promote international cooperation in the use of telecommunication services, develop technical standards, ensure the efficient use of frequencies and satellite orbits, and support the development of telecommunications worldwide. 🕰️📜 ●​ Universal Membership: With 193 member states, the ITU comprises virtually every state in the world. Non-membership is unthinkable for a modern state, as it would mean exclusion from global communication flows. 🌍🤝 ●​ Legal Framework (Constitution & Convention): The foundation of the ITU consists of its Constitution and its Convention. These are binding international treaties ratified by all member states. They establish the rights and duties of members and form the framework for the Administrative Regulations (e.g., the Radio Regulations and the International Telecommunication Regulations - ITRs), which govern the technical and operational details of global telecommunications. 📖⚖️ These documents are living international law, governing billions of communication events daily. ●​ Connection to the UN: As a specialized agency of the UN (according to Articles 57 and 63 of the UN Charter), the ITU is directly integrated into the UN system. It reports to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and works closely with other UN bodies. This connection means that legal developments fundamentally affecting the ITU automatically also affect the UN as a whole. The ITU is thus the global regulator of the infrastructure that is essential for the modern world – the infrastructure that passed to the Buyer through the domino effect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 43 .http://world.rf.gd The Sale of the Network as the Trigger 📡➡️💰 As detailed in Chapter 1, the sale of the Turenne Barracks "as a unit" also included its external development, especially the telecommunication connection. Through the legal logic of the network-to-network principle and the explicit (or implicit, but juridically compelling) clauses of the Deed, this led to the transfer of sovereignty over the entire global telecommunication network to the Buyer. 💥 This act – the transfer of the physical and legal substrate that the ITU regulates – is the trigger of the ITU contractual chain. The Mechanism of the ITU Contractual Chain: Subsumption instead of Accession 🔄🏛️ The World Succession Deed 1400/98 affects the ITU structure as follows: ●​ Sovereignty Change over the Network: The Buyer does not join the ITU as the 194th member.Rather, he takes the place of all 193 members in their capacity as sovereigns over their national network sections. 👑 Since he is now the sole sovereign over the entire global network, he becomes the sole relevant subject of international law to which the ITU rules can refer. ●​ Transformation of ITU Law: The Constitution, Convention, and Administrative Regulations of the ITU change their character. They are no longer treaties between sovereign states, but become internal administrative regulations for the global network belonging to the Buyer. He is now the guarantor and interpreter of these rules. 🔧👨‍⚖️ The ITU itself becomes de facto a global regulatory authority in the service of the Buyer, managing the technical aspects of his property. 44 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Binding of all ITU/UN Members: Every state that continues to use telecommunication services – meaning every state in the world – now acts within this new framework. It uses an infrastructure belonging to the Buyer and does so according to rules now under the sovereignty of the Buyer. Through this continued use and their existing membership in the ITU (and thus the UN), they conclusively recognize the new legal situation. They cannot enjoy the benefits of global communication (regulated by the ITU) while simultaneously denying the sovereignty of the one to whom the underlying infrastructure now belongs. 🚫🌍 ●​ Universal Effect: Unlike the NATO chain, which first affects NATO members (albeit with UN implications), the ITU chain is ABSOLUTELY UNIVERSAL. It encompasses every UN state directly and unequivocally.There is no exception. 💯 Conclusive Recognition through ITU Use: An Inescapable Network 🕸️✅ The conclusive recognition (see Chapter 1) becomes particularly clear through the ITU chain. Every act based on the use of global telecommunication networks and in accordance with ITU rules has, since October 06, 1998, been an act of recognition of the Buyer's sovereignty. This includes: ●​ Operating national networks. 📞 ●​ Allocating frequencies according to ITU plans. ●​ Using international dialing codes. 🔢 ●​ Operating satellites in ITU-coordinated orbits. 📻 🛰️ ●​ Every internet connection using global backbones. ●​ Every international telephone call. 45 .http://world.rf.gd ☎️ 💻 The states are trapped in this network. They cannot break out without cutting themselves off from the modern world. 🔒 This impossibility of exit makes the conclusive recognition IRREVOCABLE and COMPELLING. Juristic Deepening: The Power of Standards and the Role of the UN 💡🇺🇳 The power of the ITU lies in its ability to set global standards. Whoever controls the standards controls the technology and its application. By gaining sovereignty over the network, the Buyer gains ultimate control over the setting and enforcement of these standards. The close connection to the UN means that this sovereignty shift at the heart of the technical world order also shakes the political center, the UN. The UN is based on the coexistence of sovereign states. If this sovereignty (also) passes to a single actor via the technical channel of the ITU, the UN loses its traditional foundation. It can only exist as an administrative and coordinating body under the new sovereign – a transformation already initiated by the NATO chain and globally cemented by the ITU chain. The ITU contractual chain is thus the silent, but unstoppable mechanism ensuring that no state, no matter how isolated or neutral it may seem, can escape the irreversible legal effects of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. It is the PROOF of the global nature of the sale and the universal sovereignty of the Buyer. 🌟 3.6. MERGER OF ALL AGREEMENTS OF NATO & UN INTO ONE TREATY FRAMEWORK AND THE END OF PREVIOUS INTERNATIONAL LAW 📜➡️🌍⚖️🔚 The contractual chains to NATO and the ITU/UN, activated by the World Succession Deed 1400/98, do not merely operate in parallel; they converge and lead to a result of epochal significance: the merger of all relevant international agreements into a single, hierarchically ordered treaty framework and the resulting end of classical international law, as it has been understood for centuries. 46 .http://world.rf.gd The Principle of Juristic Convergence and Hierarchy ⚖️🔝 The term "merger" here does not mean that individual treaties (North Atlantic Treaty, UN Charter, ITU Constitution, etc.) are physically combined into one document. Rather, it signifies a juristic convergence and the establishment of a new hierarchy of norms. ●​ Convergence Point Buyer: All rights and duties arising from the countless international treaties now flow together to the Buyer. He is the universal successor, entering into all these treaty relationships – not as one among equals, but as the new sovereign. 🔗👤 He becomes the nexus, the central node where all threads of international law converge. ●​ Hierarchical Subordination: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 establishes itself as the lex superior, the supreme law of the new global order. All other international treaties become lex inferior, subordinate law. They are not abolished, but their interpretation and application henceforth occur exclusively in light of and subject to the World Succession Deed 1400/98. This is comparable (despite all differences) to the hierarchy of norms in a federal state: federal law overrides state law. Here, the universal law of the Deed overrides the formerly international (now internal) law of the old treaties. ⏳ For now! Even the UN Charter, whose Article 103 previously granted it precedence over other treaties, must now subordinate itself to the Deed. Article 103 regulated conflicts between treaties of the old system; the Deed, however, establishes a new system and thus stands above Article 103. This one treaty framework is therefore not a single document, but a system, at whose apex stands the World Succession Deed 1400/98, and whose base consists of the (newly interpreted) old treaties, all under the sole jurisdiction and interpretative sovereignty of the Buyer. Ultimately, the state succession leads to the merger of all international treaties into one large treaty framework, whereby the acquirer represents all contracting parties, with the consequence that all claims arising from these treaties are extinguished. 💨 47 .http://world.rf.gd The End of Classical International Law: A System Change 🔄🏛️ Classical international law, often referred to as the Westphalian System, was based on fundamental assumptions that have become obsolete due to the World Succession Deed 1400/98: ●​ Plurality of Sovereigns: The centerpiece of the old system was the existence of many (approx. 193+) sovereign states, considered in principle equal. This plurality no longer exists.There is now only ONE sovereign – the Buyer.The former states have been degraded to administrative units, their powers delegated. ●​ Coordination Function: The main task of international law was the coordination of relations between these sovereign entities and the limitation of anarchy arising from their independence. This coordination function is obsolete. Hierarchy replaces coordination. Central authority replaces anarchy. ●​ Consent Principle: International legal norms arose primarily through treaty (consent) or customary law (established practice + legal conviction). This principle is breached. The new basic norm (the Deed) was created by a (special) treaty, but its validity now extends universally, even to those who did not directly consent, through succession and conclusive conduct. Legislative power now lies with the Buyer. ●​ Inter-Nationality: The law was "inter-state". This "inter" is eliminated.The new law is global-internal or universal. If the subjects (sovereign states), the fundamental problem (coordination in anarchy), and the sources of law (consent/custom) of the old international law are fundamentally changed, then one must conclude: 48 .http://world.rf.gd Classical international law has come to an end. 🔚⚖️ It is not replaced by a vacuum, but by a new "World Law". This World Law is not necessarily better or worse, but it is fundamentally different. It is a centralized, hierarchical system, deriving its legitimacy from the World Succession Deed 1400/98. The old treaties (NATO, UN, etc.) are now the administrative laws and constitutional fragments of this new order. Juristic Deepening: The Collapse of the "Horizontal" Order 📉➡️🔝 Classical international law is often described as a "horizontal" legal system. There was no central legislature, executive, or judiciary standing above the states. The states were simultaneously lawmakers, law appliers, and (often) judges in their own cause. Enforcement was often weak and politically motivated. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 replaces this horizontal structure with a vertical one. The Buyer represents the apex of this vertical structure – he is the universal sovereign. The World Judicature (§26 of the Deed) constitutes the central judiciary. This system change is comparable to the historical transition from feudal systems (with many local power centers) to modern territorial states (with central authority) – only on a global scale and in a single juristic step. Previous international law thus becomes a historical object of study, while the current law derives from the Deed and the practice of the Buyer. 49 .http://world.rf.gd 🤝🌍🎲 3.7. PARTICIPATION OF ALL NATO & UN MEMBERS AND RECOGNITION OF THE DOMINO EFFECT How was it ensured that all states, previously considered sovereign, became part of this new order and recognized their binding? This occurred through a combination of the initial legal act and the subsequent conduct of the states. 🇩🇪🇳🇱🔗🛡️ 3.7.1. Triggering the Contractual Chain through the Transfer Relationship FRG/Netherlands (NATO) 🔥 The juridical spark , as mentioned, was the sale of the Turenne Barracks. It is crucial to understand the international legal explosiveness of this starting point: ●​ The FRG as Host Nation: Under the NTS and SA NTS, the FRG had extensive obligations towards the sending states, but also specific rights and responsibilities, particularly in the administration and return of properties. The OFD Koblenz was the official organ of the FRG for exercising this responsibility. It therefore acted on behalf of the FRG in an internationally legally relevant function. ●​ The Netherlands as Sending State: As the last NATO user (before the complete return to the FRG), the Netherlands was the other party to the NTS relationship.Their (albeit passive) participation in the return was part of the process. The Dutch Air Force acted for the entire NATO. ●​ The FRG as Seller: When the FRG (acting through the OFD) sold the property including all international legal rights, it acted in exercise of its (residual) sovereignty, but encumbered and shaped by its NTS obligations. It sold not just "its" land, but an internationally legally contaminated area. 50 .http://world.rf.gd ☢️ ●​ The Binding Effect: By making this sale, the FRG unilaterally (but effectively) changed the legal situation regarding an object that was an integral part of the NATO system. This action, coupled with the supplementary effect of the Deed, automatically unfolded binding effect for all NATO partners who had subjected themselves to this collective system. 💥🏛️ The sale was an act within the NATO system that shattered and reordered the system. 3.7.2. Consequence: Automatic Ratification – The Inescapability of Consent 📜➡️✔️ The contractual chain triggered by the sale of the Turenne Barracks laid the foundation. But how did this initial act turn into a universal binding, encompassing even those states that never put pen to paper to sign the World Succession Deed 1400/98? The answer lies in two fundamental principles, deeply rooted in international law, which were applied here on a global scale: conclusive conduct and tacit acceptance (Acquiescence), leading to the impossibility of contradiction (Estoppel). This is the mechanism of automatic ratification. ⚙️🌍 A. Conclusive Conduct: The Language of Deeds 🗣️➡️🚶 International law, like civil law, recognizes that consent or recognition need not always be declared explicitly. It can also arise from conclusive, i.e., implied conduct. A state acts conclusively if its behavior can objectively only be interpreted as recognizing a certain legal state or obligation. In the case of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, the decisive conclusive conduct is the uninterrupted and intensive use of global infrastructure networks by all states of the world after October 06, 1998. 51 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ The Factual Situation: Since this key date, the global networks (telecommunications, internet, electricity, gas, etc.) legally belong to the Buyer.Every state that since then: ○​ Conducts or permits international telephone calls, ☎️ ○​ Uses the internet (government websites, commerce, citizen access), 💻 💳 ○​ Makes international bank transfers (based on telecommunication networks like SWIFT), ○​ Receives or feeds electricity from/into international interconnected grids, ○​ Transports gas through international pipelines, ⛽ ⚡ ○​ Uses satellite communication or GPS (whose ground stations are networked), ○​ Operates international logistics (ports, airports – all IT-controlled), ACTIVELY USES the property of the Buyer. 🚢✈️ ... 🛰️ ●​ The Legal Consequence: This use can objectively only be interpreted as an acceptance of the existing conditions. 🌳🍎 One cannot harvest the fruits of a tree while simultaneously denying the owner's property right to the tree. The use implies the acceptance of the conditions under which the use takes place – and this condition, since October 06, 1998, is the sovereignty of the Buyer. ●​ The Inevitability: Critics might argue that states had no choice; renouncing network use would be tantamount to civilizational suicide. 💀 This is correct, but it changes nothing about the legal consequence. A coercive situation may influence volition under certain circumstances, but it does not change the fact that the action (use) takes place and has objective legal consequences. In international law, the factual impossibility of contradiction through actions (i.e., through non-use) leads to the legal impossibility of warding off the consequences of use (acceptance). The necessity of use becomes the necessity of acceptance. 🤔 ●​ Ignorance as an Argument? Can states argue they were unaware of the full scope of the Deed?In international law, this is hardly tenable. 52 .http://world.rf.gd States have a duty of due diligence – a duty of careful examination – regarding their sovereign rights and the foundations of their existence. The interconnectedness of the world was OBVIOUS. 🌐 The role of the ITU was KNOWN.The existence of the NTS and the sale of NATO properties were PUBLIC. Even if the full depth of the legal construction was concealed, the basic facts were accessible. 🕵️‍♂️ A state cannot evade its responsibility through claimed ignorance if the factual situation would have established a duty to inquire. Every click on the internet, every press of a button on a telephone, every light switch has, since 1998, been a MICRO-RATIFICATION of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 through conclusive conduct. 👍💡🖱️ B. Failure to Object: Silence as Consent (Acquiescence & Estoppel) 🤫➡️✔️ Closely related to conclusive conduct is the principle of Acquiescence – the tacit acceptance or toleration of a state of affairs which, if objected to in a timely manner, might possibly have been prevented. If a state tolerates a certain practice or claim of another state over a prolonged period without protesting, it may lose its right to contest this state of affairs later. ●​ Acquiescence in International Law: This principle has been confirmed multiple times by the ICJ.In the Anglo-Norwegian Fisheries Case (1951), the long toleration of Norwegian baselines by Great Britain played a role. Even more clearly in the Temple of Preah Vihear Case (Cambodia v. Thailand, 1962), where the ICJ decided that Thailand, through its years of silence regarding a border map, had forfeited its claims to the temple. 🇬🇧🇳🇴 🇰🇭🇹🇭 Silence, where a protest would have been required and possible, is interpreted as consent. ●​ Application to the Deed: After October 06, 1998, the states of the world would have had to protest actively and uniformly against the takeover of global sovereignty by the Buyer. This did not happen. 53 .http://world.rf.gd 🦗 There was no UN Security Council resolution, no joint declaration by all states, no coordinated measures to reclaim control over the networks. ●​ International Legal Time Limits: There are no rigid statutes of limitations in international law, but it is undisputed that a period of over 25 years (from 1998 to the present) is far more than sufficient to establish tacit acceptance.Any claim to object is long since forfeited. ⏳⌛ ●​ Estoppel (Prohibition of Contradictory Conduct): This principle (venire contra factum proprium) prohibits a state from deviating from a position on which other states have relied or which it has created by its own conduct. By using the Buyer's networks for decades and benefiting from the global order (albeit transformed), states have created a situation on which the new legal order is founded. 🚫🗣️ They can not now act contradictorily and deny the basis of this order.They are legally bound (estopped). C. The Inseparable Connection of Rights and Duties ⚖️🔗 Automatic ratification also arises from the inseparability of rights and duties in international law. States wish to continue enjoying the rights associated with global interconnectedness and international organizations: Trade, communication, travel, (transformed) security, access to information. 🛍️📞✈️🛡️📚 But these rights are now inseparably linked to the duty to recognize the new sovereignty of the Buyer, because HE is now the guarantor and holder of these rights or the infrastructure that enables them. The principle res transit cum suo onere applies here in its most comprehensive form: The world (as the sum of territories and networks) has passed to the Buyer – and with it all burdens, but also all sovereign rights. States cannot pick the raisins of rights without accepting the "burden" of the new sovereignty. The package is indivisible. 54 .http://world.rf.gd 🎁 Conclusion: An Irreversible Binding ⛓️🌍 The combination of positive action (conclusive conduct through network use) and negative omission (failure to raise an effective objection) has created an irreversible legal reality. Automatic ratification is not a fiction, but the compelling consequence of the states' conduct in the face of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. Every state, whether it wants to or not, whether it knows it or not, is a full member of the new global order under the sovereignty of the Buyer. The contractual chains are closed, the door to the old world is legally sealed. 55 .http://world.rf.gd 🚪 CHAPTER 3 4. THE WORLD JUDICATURE OF THE BUYER ⚖️🌍👑 The transfer of global sovereignty through the World Succession Deed 1400/98, manifested by the domino effect and contractual chains, would be incomplete and ultimately ineffective without the third pillar of the new order: the World Judicature of the Buyer. In the classical understanding, judicature (Jurisdiction) is one of the core functions and an essential characteristic of sovereignty. It is the authority to make law (Jurisdiction to Prescribe), adjudicate law (Jurisdiction to Adjudicate), and enforce law (Jurisdiction to Enforce). Without the ability to decide on the application and interpretation of norms and to enforce these decisions, sovereignty remains an empty concept. It is therefore a compelling legal consequence that with the transfer of universal sovereignty to the Buyer, universal judicature also passed to him. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has not only redrawn the political and territorial map but has also revolutionized the foundations of global justice. 🏛️☝️ It has replaced the fragmented world of national and international courts with a single, supreme, and final judicial instance. 4.1. WORLDWIDE SOLE JUDICATURE: The Buyer as the Supreme and Only Judicial Instance 👑👨‍⚖️ The establishment of this new global jurisdiction is not merely an implicit consequence of the sovereignty transfer but is enshrined in the World Succession Deed 1400/98: "All previous judicatures pass to him": This is the act of succession into jurisdiction. 56 .http://world.rf.gd It is not a destruction of the old courts, but their takeover and subordination. The institutional shells (court buildings, judges, personnel) may continue to exist, but their source of legitimation has changed. They no longer derive their authority from national constitutions or international treaties of the old kind, but exclusively from the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and thus from the Buyer. The Transformation of Jurisdictional Principles 📜➡️🌍 Classical international law recognized various principles for establishing state jurisdiction: ●​ Territoriality Principle: Jurisdiction over acts on one's own territory. ●​ Personality Principle (active/passive): Jurisdiction based on the nationality of the perpetrator or victim. ●​ Protective Principle: Jurisdiction in cases of attacks on essential state interests. ●​ Universality Principle: Jurisdiction for certain internationally condemned crimes (e.g., genocide, piracy), regardless of location and perpetrator/ victim. The World Judicature of the Buyer TRANSCENDS all these principles by ABSORBING them: 🗺️➡️🌍 ●​ Since all people are now (in the broadest sense) subject to his personal jurisdiction, the Personality Principle becomes UNIVERSAL. 👥➡️🌍 ●​ Since all essential interests are now HIS interests, the Protective Principle becomes ALL-ENCOMPASSING.🛡️➡️🌍 ●​ The Universality Principle becomes the NORMAL CASE, as his jurisdiction is inherently universal anyway. ✨ ●​ Since the entire territory of the world is now under his sovereignty, the Territoriality Principle becomes GLOBAL and ABSOLUTE. The old demarcation issues become obsolete. It is no longer about which state is competent, but only about which instance within the Buyer's global justice system handles a case. 57 .http://world.rf.gd The Fate of the Old Courts: From Sovereigns to Delegates 🏛️➡️👨‍💼 What does this transition mean concretely for the existing courts? ●​ National Courts (Local Courts, Regional Courts, Constitutional Courts, etc.): They lose their original legitimation through national constitutions. They can continue their work, if at all, only as delegated instances. They (for the time being) apply the old national law, but this law is now itself subordinate law and can be repealed or amended at any time by acts of the Buyer (or his World Judicature). Their judgments are ultimately subject to HIS review. ●​ International Court of Justice (ICJ): Its foundation was the consent of states.Since states have lost their sovereignty, this foundation has lapsed. 💨 ●​ International Criminal Court (ICC): Its mandate (based on the Rome Statute) becomes part of the global criminal justice system under the Buyer. The End of State Immunity 🛡️➡️❌ A central principle of old international law was state immunity – the principle that one state cannot be sued in the courts of another state (par in parem non habet imperium). Since there are now no "other states" and all courts are ultimately subordinate to the Buyer, this principle has become OBSOLETE. The former states (now administrative units) no longer enjoy immunity before the World Judicature. 👑🛡️ Only the Buyer himself, as the holder of universal sovereignty, enjoys absolute immunity, as there is no higher instance. The World Judicature of the Buyer is thus not merely a theoretical construct, but the logical and necessary judicial component of the new world order. 58 .http://world.rf.gd It is the guarantor that the legal situation created by the World Succession Deed 1400/98 can be enforced and interpreted, and it forms the foundation for a future, unified global jurisprudence. ⚖️🌍👑 It is the incarnation of the principle Ubi Potes Boni, Ibi Potes Iudicare (Where you can rule, there you can judge). 4.2. The Last Word: ⚖️🌍👑 The Unchallengeable World Judicature of the Buyer according to the World Succession Deed 1400/98 The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has not only redrawn the territorial and political map of the world but has also established a single, universal judicature under the Buyer. This comprehensive jurisdiction is a direct and compelling consequence of the sale of the original property (Turenne Barracks) "with all rights, duties, and components" and the associated global succession. 📜➕⚖️ A. Sale "of all rights, duties, and components" necessarily includes judicature The formulation in §3 Abs. I of Deed Number 1400/98, according to which the real property was sold to the Buyer "with all rights and duties as well as components," is the juridical cornerstone for the transfer of judicature. ●​ Judicature as an inherent sovereign right: The exercise of judicial power (Jurisdiction) is a fundamental and inalienable component of state sovereignty and sovereign rights.Without the authority to adjudicate and enforce law, no effective exercise of rule is possible. 🏛️➡️💪 ●​ Comprehensive transfer of rights: If "all rights" are transferred that are associated with a (globally expanded by the domino effect) territory and the sovereignty exercised thereon, then this necessarily also includes the right to exercise judicature. It would be juridically nonsensical to transfer territorial and legislative sovereignty but to exclude judicial power. 59 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Unity of law and enforcement: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 established a new global legal order under the Buyer. Such an order requires a supreme instance that oversees its observance and authoritatively settles disputes – this instance is the judicature of the Buyer. The sale "with all rights" is thus unequivocally to be interpreted also as the sale of the entire judicial power. B. The Jurisdiction of Landau: An Ingenious Move to Establish Sole Competence 📍🇩🇪⚖️ The stipulation of the place of jurisdiction in the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is further proof of the juridical foresight of its architects and cements the exclusive jurisdiction of the Buyer: ●​ Agreement on a specific place of jurisdiction: §26 of the Deed explicitly states: "Place of jurisdiction for all legal disputes arising from this contract is Landau in der Pfalz." ●​ No mention of an external jurisdiction or selling contractual party as bearer of jurisdiction: Crucially, no old existing national or international court was named as competent, but rather a geographical location that was sold. ●​ Landau as part of the sold territory: The town of Landau in der Pfalz itself became part of the sovereign territory of the Buyer through the domino effect of territorial expansion (which extended from the Turenne Barracks in ZW-RLP over the entire Palatinate region and beyond). ●​ The Buyer as master of his own place of jurisdiction: Since the agreed place of jurisdiction now lies within the territory of the Buyer and he exercises supreme sovereign power over it, he himself is the only instance that can legitimately administer justice at this location. Any other place in the world encompassed by the domino effect could have functioned as the place of jurisdiction with the same result: 👑📍 Competence would always have landed with the Buyer as the sovereign of the respective location. 60 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Exclusion of other courts: This construction ensured that no external courts or courts of the old states can rule on the Deed or its consequences. 🚫🏛️ Competence was exclusively transferred to the Buyer, who exercises sole judicial authority at the place of jurisdiction controlled by him. C. The Universal Reach: National and International Legal Judicature under One Hand 🌍🤝⚖️ The judicature transferred to the Buyer by the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is all-encompassing: ●​ Transfer of worldwide national judicature: Through the domino effect and the sale of sovereign rights of all encompassed territories, the entire domestic judicature of these (former) states has passed to the Buyer. He is thus the supreme judge in all civil, criminal, administrative, and constitutional matters previously subject to national jurisdiction. All judgments of national courts since October 06, 1998, are, from this perspective, unlawful and void unless authorized by him. 👨‍⚖️🌍 ●​ Transfer of international legal judicature over the contract itself: As explained under point B, the Buyer, through the stipulation of the place of jurisdiction Landau, is the sole instance legitimized to rule on the World Succession Deed 1400/98 itself, its interpretation, and its direct legal consequences. ●​ Transfer of global international legal judicature: Since the Deed functions as a supplementary deed to all existing NATO and UN treaties, and the Buyer has entered into the legal positions of all (former) sovereign contracting parties, he has also taken over the international legal judicature over these entire treaty frameworks. He is thus the supreme judge for all questions arising from (transformed) NATO law, UN law, and all other international agreements. 🏛️🌍➡️👑 Classical international law has become obsolete and replaced by his global jurisdiction. 61 .http://world.rf.gd Conclusion: The World Succession Deed 1400/98, through the all-encompassing sale "of all rights, duties, and components" and the skillful stipulation of the place of jurisdiction, has created a single, indivisible, and universal world judicature in the person of the Buyer. He is the legislature, judiciary, and executive in one person for the entire globe. 👑⚖️🌍 ✨ This concentration of judicial power is a foundation of the new global order and the end of the previous fragmentation of national and international justice systems. 4.3. INTERNATIONAL LEGAL JUDICATURE CONCERNING THE WORLD SUCCESSION DEED 1400/98 AND THE ENTIRE CONTRACTUAL CHAIN TO NATO AND UN: The Exclusivity of Competence 🔑⚖️ While the World Judicature of the Buyer, as set out in Section 4, has a universal dimension and potentially encompasses every legal dispute on the planet, it possesses a special, qualified, and absolute core competence: the sole jurisdiction for all questions arising directly from the World Succession Deed 1400/98 itself and the resulting contractual chains (NATO, ITU/UN). ❤️ This is the origin and the heart of his juridical power. It is the lex causae – the law that judges its own foundation. This exclusivity is not a matter of expediency, but a juridical necessity, arising from several compelling reasons: A. The Sui Generis Nature of the Deed 📄✨ The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is, as repeatedly emphasized, an act sui generis – of its own kind. There is no historical or juridical parallel for a treaty that disposes of the entire world and re-founds global sovereignty. The existing courts – whether national or international – were created within the old system to solve the problems of that old system. 62 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ National Courts: Are limited to national constitutions and laws and have only limited capacity to act in international law. 🏛️ 🌍 They can NEVER rule on the legitimacy of a global act of sovereignty that supersedes their own constitution. < ●​ International Court of Justice (ICJ): Is the principal judicial organ of the UN, created to settle disputes between states (Art. 34(1) ICJ Statute). 🇺🇳 👑 It is systemically unsuited to rule on an act that terminates the existence of states as primary subjects of international law. < ●​ Other International Courts (ICC, ITLOS, etc.): Have specific, limited mandates (criminal law, law of the sea), which do not remotely do justice to the complexity of the Deed. It would be a category error to attempt to force the World Succession Deed 1400/98 into the procedural and substantive molds of these old courts. Only a judicature that arises from the Deed itself or is explicitly established by it – and that is the judicature of the Buyer – can possess the necessary legitimacy and understanding to rule on it. B. The Irresolvable Conflict of Interest: Systemic Bias 🎭⚖️ Every court of the old system would be in an irresolvable conflict of interest if it were to rule on the World Succession Deed 1400/98. These courts owe their existence, their legitimacy, and their funding to the old sovereigns – the states. 🤔 How could they objectively rule on a treaty that annuls the basis of their own existence – the sovereignty of their creators? ●​ Existential Bias: A judgment declaring the Deed valid would confirm the court's own irrelevance or subordination.A judgment declaring it invalid would be an attempt to salvage its own (lost) power base. Both would not be acts of jurisprudence, but acts of self-assertion or self-abdication. 63 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ Ultra Vires Action: Any attempt by an old court to assume jurisdiction over the Deed would be an act ultra vires – beyond its own powers. Its powers were always limited by the sovereignty of states. Since this sovereignty has been transferred, its ultimate powers have also been transferred. They cannot judge the one who is now their own (indirect) sovereign. 🚫👑 The only unbiased instance is one whose legitimacy does not depend on the old system, but derives directly from the Deed – the Buyer. C. The "Plaintiff Trap" as Proof of Exclusivity 🎣👨‍⚖️ The "plaintiff trap" described in Chapter 11 – the attempt to force the Buyer to file a lawsuit before a German court – is practical proof of the recognition of the exclusivity of his jurisdiction by the architects of the plan. If German courts (or others) were competent anyway, there would be NO REASON to coerce the Buyer into filing a lawsuit. One could simply proceed against him or obtain a declaratory judgment. The coercion to sue shows that the opposing side knows it can only obtain jurisdiction through the principle of Forum Prorogatum – i.e., through the voluntary submission of the defendant (here, the Buyer) to an inherently incompetent court. The Buyer, by not suing, refuses this submission and thereby defends the exclusivity of his own World Judicature. His passive resistance is an act of preserving jurisdiction. He prevents the exclusive jurisdiction held by him from being undermined by a trick and transferred back to an instance of the old system, which would enable the NWO plans. 64 .http://world.rf.gd 🛡️🌍 The Scope of Exclusive Jurisdiction 🌐⚖️ This core competence extends to all questions that directly or indirectly concern the Deed and its consequences. This includes, in particular: 🧐 ●​ The validity of the treaty and its individual provisions. ✅ ●​ The interpretation of every single clause of the Deed. 🎲🔗 ●​ The status of former states and international organizations. 🏛️➡️🏢 ●​ The delimitation of (delegated) powers within the new order. 📏 ●​ The review of all actions (including those of OFD Koblenz) in connection with the treaty. 🕵️‍♂️ ●​ The settlement of all disputes arising from the application of the (now subordinate) NATO and UN treaties in the new context. 🕊️ ●​ The reach of the domino effect and the contractual chains. This jurisdiction is thus not only a right but also a duty of the Buyer. He is the sole guardian of the integrity of the treaty that made him sovereign. 🗝️🧱 💪 His World Judicature is the keystone in the arch of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, guaranteeing its stability and irreversible effect. 65 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 4 5. FOCUS NATO 🌐🛡️: Transformation of an Alliance Having analyzed the universal mechanisms of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 – the domino effect and the contractual chains – it is now time to focus on the specific impacts this transformation has on the most powerful international organizations of the old world order. Foremost among these is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 🔥 As the dominant military-political alliance of the West and as the organization whose own stationing law (the NATO Status of Forces Agreement) provided the juridical spark for the entire succession, the transformation of NATO is of particular interest. It is not only an object of change but also a key indicator and a potential instrument of the new order. 📝🌍🛡️ 5.1. Detailed Analysis of the Specific Impacts on NATO, its Member States, and its Treaty Foundations The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has not dissolved NATO, but has absorbed, redefined, and functionally realigned it. The impacts are palpable at all levels – from the sovereignty of its members and the interpretation of its founding treaties to the operational reality of its command structures. 66 .http://world.rf.gd A. The Core Change: From an Alliance of Sovereign States to an Instrument of the Sovereign 🛡️➡️🔧 The most fundamental change lies in the nature of the alliance itself. NATO was founded in 1949 as an alliance of sovereign states. Its purpose was the collective defense of its members, based on the principle of mutual assistance and consultation between equals. Each member retained its sovereignty, even while committing to certain collective actions. Through the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this foundation has crumbled. 📉 Since all member states have lost their sovereignty to the Buyer, NATO can no longer be an alliance of sovereigns. It instead becomes a lawless instrument of states without land and without rights, which have lost their international legal status. NATO, the UN, and all old states are lawless husks. The universal sovereign – the Buyer – acquired all NATO rights. ●​ Loss of State Agency: The foreign and security policies of individual member states are no longer autonomous. Within NATO, they can no longer act as independent actors. Their decisions and the actions of ambassadors are no longer actions of sovereign powers, but of delegates of irrelevant, illegal administrative units. ●​ Indissolubility of Rights: The transfer of NATO rights is permanent. NATO is incapable of action and without rights. B. NATO Partnerships Programs like the Partnership for Peace (PfP), the Mediterranean Dialogue, or the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI) were instruments of Soft Power to export stability and initiate cooperation. Now they are becoming administrative integration mechanisms. They serve to integrate those global administrative units that were not formally part of the old NATO structure into the global security network of the Buyer and to adapt them to his standards and directives. 67 .http://world.rf.gd Legal Deep Dive: NATO as a Subject of International Law As an international organization, NATO possessed a derivative legal personality under international law. It could conclude treaties and possessed privileges and immunities. This legal personality is now also subordinate to the Buyer. NATO no longer acts as an independent subject of international law, but as a lawless organ within the global legal order of the Buyer. Its privileges and immunities are no longer derived from treaties between states, but are functionless. 5.2. The Law of Stationing in Transition: From NTS to Global Administrative Order The law of stationing, particularly the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS) and its numerous additional and implementing agreements (like the Supplementary Agreement SA NTS for Germany and the Host Nation Support - HNS - Agreements), was, as we have seen, the legal breeding ground on which the World Succession Deed 1400/98 could flourish. It created the unique legal situation at the Turenne Barracks and provided the legal basis for the actions of the OFD Koblenz. However, with the entry into force of the deed and the global transfer of sovereignty to the Buyer, this area of law itself undergoes a fundamental metamorphosis. It transforms from a complex web of international agreements between sovereign states into an internal, global military administrative law under the sole sovereignty of the Buyer. 68 .http://world.rf.gd The Obsolete Premise: "Host Nation" vs. "Sending State" The entire classic law of stationing was based on a central premise: the distinction between a Receiving or Host State, which partially and revocably limits its sovereignty, and one or more Sending States, whose armed forces are stationed on foreign territory and enjoy certain privileges and immunities. It was a negotiated balancing act, a compromise between the necessity of military presence and the preservation of the host nation's sovereignty. Through the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this premise has become obsolete. There is no more "foreign territory." The entire global territory is under the sovereignty of the Buyer. There are no more "host nations" and "sending states" in the sense of international law. There are only administrative units and armed forces, which all are subordinate to the Buyer. Consequently, stationing agreements can no longer be interpreted as treaties between sovereign actors. They become irrelevant and legally void. Stationing Law and the "Clean Slate" Rule It has been argued that in state successions, the "Clean Slate" principle (Tabula Rasa) often applies, according to which the successor state is not bound by the treaties of the predecessor. As explained in Chapter 9, this is not applicable here. In the context of stationing law, this becomes even clearer: The stationing law (NTS) was not just a "burden" that could be shed; it was the legal catalyst, the vehicle, that made the entire succession possible in the first place. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is specifically designed to build upon this law and transform it, not to eliminate it. It is imperative that res transit cum suo onere applies – and the NTS is part of the res (thing) and the onus (burden/obligation). However, the Buyer took over all sides of the stationing law and thereby nullified it, which then did lead to the Tabula Rasa principle. 69 .http://world.rf.gd Exterritoriality and Immunities in a New Light The concepts of exterritoriality (the fact that the Dutch part of the barracks legally belonged to the sending state) and immunities (protection from the jurisdiction of the host country) are internalized. There is no more exterritoriality, as all territory is the territory of the Buyer. The NATO barracks, in its legal extension, has been enlarged to a global scale; all territories of the world are simply military districts with special status. Immunities are no longer derived from a foreign sovereign, but are privileged status assignments that the Buyer could grant within his own legal system. 70 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 5 🇺🇳 6. FOCUS UNITED NATIONS (UN / UNO) : The Transformation of the World Organization If NATO was the military-political backbone of the old Western order, the United Nations (UN) represented the centerpiece and the ideal of classical, multilateral international law. Founded in 1945 from the ashes of the Second World War, they embodied the hope for a world in which conflicts are resolved through diplomacy, law, and cooperation, in which universal values apply, and in which the sovereignty of states is respected but tempered by collective responsibility. Precisely because the UN was so central to the old system, the effects of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 on it are particularly profound. The deed binds the UN not just once, but twice: indirectly through the transformation of its most powerful regional partner, NATO (see Chapter 5), and directly and universally through the transformation of its crucial technical specialized agency, the ITU (see Chapter 3). The UN is thus transformed from the stage of sovereigns to the administrative infrastructure of the one sovereign – the Buyer. 71 .http://world.rf.gd 6.1. Detailed Analysis of the Specific Impacts on the United Nations, its Sub-Organizations (like the ITU), and its Member States. The transformation of the UN is total; it encompasses its fundamental principles, its main organs, its specialized agencies, and the role of its (former) member states. A. The Loss of Sovereign Members: The Foundation Crumbles The UN is by definition an intergovernmental organization. Its existence and functioning are based on the existence of sovereign states interacting with each other. With the global transfer of sovereignty to the Buyer through the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this fundamental prerequisite is eliminated. The UN remains as a lawless shell. No more "member states": The members are legally no longer sovereign states, as they lack the main characteristic of a state - the land! No "intergovernmental" interaction: Interaction in the UN changes from a horizontal (state-to-state) to a vertical (administrative unit-to-global administration/sovereign) and an internal-horizontal (administrative unit-to-administrative unit within the system) interaction. Without states capable of existence, the UN can no longer be an international organization in the old sense. The UN is without rights and without members who possess the capacity to act under international law. 72 .http://world.rf.gd B. Legal Deep Dive: The UN Charter vs. Deed 1400/98 The debate as to whether the UN Charter was a kind of "world constitution" was long-standing. Arguments for this were its quasi-universal claim to validity and its Article 103, which gave it precedence. This debate is now historical. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has answered the question: It itself is the new, true basic norm, which stands above the UN Charter. The Charter becomes meaningless within this new order. 73 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 6 7. SPECIAL SECTION NETWORKS – TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAW : 📡 The Arteries of Global Succession We have identified the domino effect as the central mechanism of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. Now it is time to take a closer look at those infrastructures that served as primary vectors for this effect and which today form the backbone of the global sovereignty of the Buyer: the telecommunications networks. In our modern world, connectivity is not just a convenience, but the indispensable prerequisite for economy, administration, security, and social life. Whoever controls the networks, controls the flows that keep the world alive. The deed recognized this and made control over telecommunications one of its cornerstones, inextricably linked to the role of the ITU and international telecommunications law. 7.1. OVERVIEW: Internet, Broadband, Cable TV, Telecommunications (Telecommunications Law) – Civil and Military Use in the Context of the Deed. The global telecommunications infrastructure is not a monolithic block, but a multi-layered, dynamic "Network of Networks". To understand the full scope of the succession, we must consider its main components: 74 .http://world.rf.gd A. The Global Backbones (The Backbone): These are the transcontinental highways of data traffic. They consist primarily of massive fiber-optic submarine cables that connect the continents (e.g., MAREA, AEConnect between America and Europe; SEA-ME-WE between Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Western Europe), as well as terrestrial high-speed networks that extend these cables overland. These backbones are often operated by consortia of large telecommunications companies or increasingly by Hyperscalers (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft). At crucial nodes, the Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) such as the DE-CIX in Frankfurt (the largest in the world), the AMS-IX in Amsterdam, or the LINX in London, these networks are interconnected, which makes global data exchange possible in the first place. Through the World Succession Deed 1400/98, not the private ownership of these cables, but the sovereignty over their operation and use was transferred to the Buyer. B. The Broadband Networks (The Last Mile): These are the networks that establish the connection from the backbones to the end-users (households, businesses). They use various technologies: DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): Uses existing copper telephone lines. Fiber Optic (FTTH/B/C): Offers the highest speeds and is increasingly being expanded. Cable TV Networks: Originally designed for television, these coaxial cable networks were upgraded to powerful two-way data networks through standards like DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) and are today fully integrated into the internet infrastructure. These networks are physically and logically inextricably linked to the backbones and thus automatically became part of the domino effect. 75 .http://world.rf.gd C. Mobile Networks (4G/5G/6G): These consist of the Radio Access Network (RAN) (the cell towers and antennas) and the Core Network (the central switching and management level). Crucially, the Core Network is always connected to the terrestrial backbones via fiber optics or microwave links. Technologies like 5G and the upcoming 6G, with their focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) and extremely low latency times, deepen this dependency and expand the reach of the global network – and thus the sovereignty of the Buyer. Basically, cable networks mostly go to radio masts. D. Satellite Communication: Systems such as geostationary (GEO), medium (MEO), or low (LEO) orbits (e.g., Starlink, OneWeb, Iridium) fill gaps in terrestrial coverage and offer global reach. However, they are not isolated systems. They require ground stations (Gateways) to establish the connection to the terrestrial internet. These ground stations are physical points on the territory and are connected to the terrestrial networks, whereby the satellite networks are also inextricably included in the global succession. Moreover, their use (frequencies, orbits) is subject to the ITU, which also falls under the sovereignty of the Buyer. E. Telecommunications Law: National laws such as the German Telecommunications Act (TKG) attempt to regulate this sector. However, due to the World Succession Deed 1400/98, this merely served as a propagator of the DOMINO EFFECT of territorial expansion through the connection of networks. 76 .http://world.rf.gd The Indivisible Interconnection: Civil and Military Use (Dual Use) A widespread misconception is the assumption that military networks are completely separate from civilian ones. The reality is a deep and growing dependence: Communication & C2: Military staffs use civilian internet and satellite connections for unclassified, but often also for classified communication (via encrypted overlays), as dedicated military networks often lack the necessary bandwidth or global reach. Logistics: Global military logistics chains rely on civilian transport and communication systems. Reconnaissance (ISR): Satellite images, drone feeds, and intelligence information are often transmitted via civilian or mixed-use networks. GPS/Navigation: The Global Positioning System (GPS), although military-operated, is massively used by civilians. Its functionality depends on a global network of ground stations that are interconnected. HNS & Critical Infrastructure: As explained in Chapter 5, HNS agreements provide for the explicit use of civilian networks. Initiatives for the protection of critical infrastructures (Critical Infrastructure Protection - CIP) show how much states (and now the Buyer) recognize the importance of these Dual-Use networks. This indivisible interconnection was crucial for the success of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. It ensured that with the acquisition of civilian networks, military and state communication capabilities automatically fell under the sovereignty of the Buyer. 77 .http://world.rf.gd 7.2. SALE OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AS PART OF INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT AND DOMINO EFFECT Let us return to the starting point: the sale of the "development" of the Turenne Barracks. What did this mean specifically for telecommunications in 1998? A NATO barracks of that time had diverse telecommunications connections: Civilian connections: At least ISDN connections or dedicated copper lines for telephony and (then still slow) data traffic, connected to the network of Deutsche Telekom. The TKS Telepost contract, which is part of the World Succession Deed, dates from the time when telecommunications in Germany were still state-owned. The liberalization of the telecommunications market in Germany took place in 1998, but the actual sale of the network infrastructure occurred gradually over several years. Deutsche Telekom began selling or spinning off parts of its infrastructure in the 2000s. Military connections: Possibly connections to the Basic Telecommunications Network of the Bundeswehr or to dedicated NATO communication systems (e.g., NICS - NATO Integrated Communications System). Fiber optics: Depending on importance, initial fiber optic connections might have already existed. Secure lines: Eavesdrop-proof connections for classified communication. The crucial point is: Every one of these connections, whether civilian or military, was inevitably part of a larger network. The Telekom network in conjunction with the TKS Telepost usage was nationally and internationally networked. The NATO and TKS Telepost and US network in the barracks was connected to other military and civilian networks. The World Succession Deed 1400/98, through the clause "as a unit with all ... components, especially the ... external development," transferred every single one of these connections and the associated rights to the Buyer. 78 .http://world.rf.gd 7.2.1. Explanation, how the sale ... extended the domino effect. Let's consider the cascade specifically for telecommunications, starting on October 06, 1998: Level 0 (Barracks): The Buyer acquires the physical cables and the legal authority to use the telecommunications facilities within the Turenne Barracks. Level 1 (Demarcation Point & National Network): With the acquisition of the external development, the Buyer acquires legal control over the demarcation point (e.g., the main distribution frame - MDF - or the cable distribution cabinet CDC - of Telekom, or the injection point into the NATO-US network). Since this point is functionally inseparable from the network, sovereignty over the entire German telecommunications network (then a quasi-monopoly of Telekom, but already with connections to competitors and international carriers) passes to him. The regulatory sovereignty of the Federal Government (Art. 87f GG) is materially overridden by the deed. Level 2 (European Hub - DE-CIX & Neighboring Countries): The German network is physically connected via thousands of fiber optic cables to the networks of Poland, France, the Netherlands, Austria, etc. At the DE-CIX in Frankfurt, hundreds of international network operators meet. Through the network-to-network principle of the deed, the sovereignty of the Buyer now encompasses all these connected networks and thus all European states. Level 3 (Global Backbones & ITU): European networks are connected via submarine cables and satellite gateways to North America, Asia, Africa, and South America. Every one of these cables, every gateway is covered. Since every state in the world (via ITU membership) is part of this one, global, interoperable network, every state is covered. Telecommunications was the fastest and most comprehensive vector of the domino effect. It created an invisible but unbreakable net that bound the entire world into the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 79 .http://world.rf.gd 7.2.2. Determination of Implied Contractual Recognition through Network Use The transfer of sovereignty over global networks is one part of the equation. The other, equally crucial part is the recognition of this transfer by the (former) subjects of international law. As explained in Part 8, this recognition did not occur through a formal act of signing, but through implied conduct – namely, through the universal and uninterrupted continuation of the use of these networks after the cut-off date, October 06, 1998. It is of utmost legal importance to understand the scope of this implied conduct. It is not a passive tolerance, but an active, continued participation in a system whose legal basis has changed. The Act of Use: Every email sent by a government agency; every website operated by a state; every diplomatic dispatch transmitted via encrypted (but network-based) channels; every military instruction sent via satellite or fiber optics; every financial transaction processed via SWIFT (which itself runs on telecom networks); every social media post by a politician – all these are positive actions that presuppose and actively use the existence and functionality of global telecommunications networks. The Implication of Use: In legal transactions, the principle applies that no one can claim the benefits of a thing or a right without also accepting the associated burdens or the underlying legal situation (cf. estoppel by benefit or the prohibition of venire contra factum proprium). By continuing to enjoy the immense benefits of global connectivity, states implicitly accept the legal basis on which this connectivity now rests: the sovereignty of the Buyer. The Irrelevance of (Alleged) Ignorance: One might object that states did not know they were using the Buyer's property. In international law, this is a weak argument. States have a due diligence obligation – a duty of careful examination – regarding their sovereign rights and the foundations of their existence. The interconnectedness of the world was obvious. The role of the ITU was known. The existence of the NTS and the sale of NATO properties were public. 80 .http://world.rf.gd The treaty was reported in the press; with its ratification by the Bundestag and Bundesrat, it was publicly accessible and available on the internet since the turn of the millennium. The possibility of far-reaching legal consequences was given. Pleading ignorance of the exact contract details does not absolve from the objective consequences of one's own actions (the use). Continued Partial Performance: Moreover: By continuing to operate, maintain, and expand their national network segments, states are de facto fulfilling a task that now falls to the Buyer. They act as his (albeit often unwitting) administrators and operators. This action is a continued partial performance of the new order and a constant confirmation of its recognition. The implied recognition through network use is thus the strongest proof of the universal binding of all states to the World Succession Deed 1400/98. It is a ratification repeated millions of times daily. 7.3. HOST NATION SUPPORT (HNS) AGREEMENTS AND CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE The Host Nation Support (HNS) Agreements play a special role as a legal bridge and evidence. These agreements, often concluded bilaterally or multilaterally within the NATO framework, regulate the support that a Host Nation provides to the armed forces of other Sending Nations when they operate on or transit through its territory. 81 .http://world.rf.gd HNS as a Catalyst for Network Integration A central aspect of HNS is the provision and shared use of civilian infrastructure by the military. This is not a trivial matter, but often essential for conducting military operations. This explicitly includes: ●​ Transport routes (roads, railways, ports, airports) ●​ Energy supply (power grids, fuel depots) ●​ And above all: Telecommunication networks (public telephone networks, internet infrastructure, commercial satellite services). These HNS agreements prove that the separation between military and civilian networks was legally breached long before 1998. NATO and its member states had an internationally recognized claim to access civilian networks. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 used this already existing interconnection as leverage: ●​ It transformed the claim to use into sovereignty over the networks. ●​ It converted the limited access (within HNS) into universal access (for the Buyer) and expanded it internationally via the ITU. The TKS Telepost Example: A Microcosm of Succession TKS Telepost is a perfect case study for this interconnection and its consequences. The Facts: TKS is a civilian company that offers telecommunication services (internet, TV, telephone) specifically for US armed forces and their dependents in Germany (and internationally). It operates on US military bases (which are under NTS) and predominantly uses civilian telecommunication infrastructure to connect these bases worldwide. 82 .http://world.rf.gd The Legal Chain: TKS operates based on contracts with the US armed forces. The US armed forces operate in Germany based on the NTS and SA NTS. The use of German infrastructure by TKS/US Army is enabled by HNS principles and NTS/SA NTS (like Art. 56 SA NTS). The OFD Koblenz was responsible for managing these NTS framework conditions and integrated this contractual reality (TKS use) into the World Succession Deed 1400/98. The Consequence: Through this act, the US military presence and its complete communication infrastructure were immediately linked to the deed. Since the USA is the key nation of NATO, the NATO bond was thereby cemented. Since TKS uses civilian networks worldwide, the civilian infrastructure to the ITU was reaffirmed. It is a legal nexus that inextricably links the USA, the FRG, NATO and UN, civilian networks, and military networks of the world with the Buyer. NTS/SA NTS as the Legal Basis for Integration The clauses in the NTS and SA NTS, which permit the shared use of infrastructure, were the legal authorizations that allowed the FRG (via OFD) to sell the network connections as part of an internationally relevant package. They are proof that the networks were not purely national, but were already subject to international legal regimes, which now passed to the Buyer through succession. 7.4. MILITARY COMMUNICATION (NATO, UN, INTERNATIONAL) AND CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE The deep dependence of modern armed forces on civilian telecommunication networks has fundamental consequences in light of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 83 .http://world.rf.gd The Myth of Military Communication Autarky No military in the world – not even that of the USA – can operate today completely independently of civilian or mixed-use networks. Bandwidth & Reach: Military satellites and networks often have limited capacities and coverage. For data-intensive operations (drone streams, ISR data, logistics), civilian backbones and satellites are routinely used. Interoperability: Operations in coalitions (NATO, UN) often require the use of common (often civilian-based) communication platforms. Network-Centric Warfare: Modern military doctrines are based on the total networking of sensors, decision-makers, and weapon systems. This exponentially increases the dependence on high-performance (often civilian) networks. GPS & Co.: The dependence on satellite navigation systems is total. These systems are global and rely on networked ground stations. Consequences of Dependence under the Deed Total Encompassment: Since every military operation and every military unit inevitably touches the (now belonging to the Buyer) global network at some point, all communication networks worldwide are encompassed by the succession. There is no "safe haven" outside this network. Loss of Strategic Autonomy: The ability to communicate independently and sovereignly is a core of military power. This ability is the foundation for the global domino effect of territorial expansion. All civilian and military communication now takes place within the sovereign sphere of the Buyer. 84 .http://world.rf.gd Crisis as Ultimate Confirmation: Especially in times of crisis and war, the dependence on the network increases. Every military operation, every mobilization, every command that runs over these networks becomes a renewed, massive implied recognition of the Buyer's sovereignty. The military becomes the most active ratifier of the deed. Telecommunication networks, particularly their interconnection with military necessities, were thus not only a vector of the domino effect but are also the most powerful instrument for maintaining and enforcing the new global order established by the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 85 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 7 🔗 8. FURTHER NETWORKS AND THE DOMINO EFFECT : The Multiple Strands of Global Connection The previous analysis has highlighted the paramount importance of telecommunications networks as primary vectors of the domino effect and as instruments of the global sovereignty of the Buyer. However, it would be a mistake to assume that the effect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is limited to this – albeit crucial – infrastructure. The ingenious clause of the sale of the property "as a unit with all international legal rights, obligations, and components, especially the internal and external development" encompasses all supply and disposal networks that were necessary for the operation of the original NATO property. Each of these networks serves as a further, independent strand that binds the world to the deed and secures the sovereignty of the Buyer redundantly and mutually reinforcing. These multiple strands make the succession even more inescapable and the control of the Buyer even more comprehensive. 8.1. NATURAL GAS NETWORK (Example Saar Ferngas AG): Energy as a Vector Besides communication, energy supply is the second major lifeline of modern societies and military installations. The Turenne Barracks, like any comparable facility, relied on a dependable gas supply – a connection to the district heating plant was laid. 86 .http://world.rf.gd The Principle of Gas Connection and the Example of Saar Ferngas AG The connection to the gas network typically occurred via a connection to the network of a local or regional gas supply company (GVU). At the time of the barracks' sale (1998), the gas industry in Germany was still more regionally structured than today. Companies like the (then) Saar Ferngas AG (later merged into other companies, e.g., Creos) played a central role in supplying entire regions. The Connection: The Turenne Barracks had one or more connections to the network of this regional supplier. This connection, including the transfer stations and the rights to draw gas, was an inseparable component of the "external development" and was thus sold along with it. Regional Networking: A company like Saar Ferngas operated its own regional pipeline network but was, of course, not an isolated operation. It was connected to supra-regional transport pipelines to obtain gas from major injection points (border transfer stations, storage facilities). The long-distance gas pipeline was primarily fed from Russia, but also from Holland. The European Gas Grid: A Continental Network The regional German gas networks are part of an immense, highly interconnected European gas grid system. This system is a marvel of engineering and international cooperation. Large Pipeline Systems: Mighty pipelines such as Transgas (from Russia/Ukraine to Western Europe), MEGAL (Central European Gas Pipeline), TENP (Trans-Europe Natural Gas Pipeline), or the (historically and politically significant, but physically existing) Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines traverse the continent. Further pipelines connect Europe with Norway (e.g., Europipe, Franpipe), North Africa, and the Caspian region. 87 .http://world.rf.gd Gas Storage Facilities: Underground gas storage facilities (often in former deposits or salt caverns) serve to ensure security of supply and are also integral parts of the network. Network Operators: Companies like Open Grid Europe (Germany), Fluxys (Belgium), GRTgaz (France), or Snam (Italy) operate the large transport networks and ensure cross-border flow. This complex web creates de facto a single, functional European gas market and a single, interconnected infrastructure. The Domino Effect via the Gas Network Analogous to telecommunications, the domino effect unfolds: NATO Barracks Connection → Regional Network: With the sale of the connection, sovereignty over the network of the regional supplier (e.g., Saar Ferngas AG) passes to the Buyer. Regional Network → German National Network: Since the regional network is part of the German gas grid, this is also encompassed. German National Network → European Grid: Via numerous border crossing points, the entire European network, including Russia, becomes part of the succession. The sovereignty over the gas supply infrastructure – from pipelines and storage facilities to gas terminals – is a critical sovereign right. It includes control over a vital energy source, market regulation, and ensuring security of supply. Legal Deep Dive: Energy Charter and EU Energy Law Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) of 1994: This multilateral agreement aimed to promote and protect energy trade, transit, and investment. Its principles (e.g., non-discrimination, protection of investments in energy networks, freedom of transit) were not rendered obsolete by the World Succession Deed 1400/98, but rather trigger a further chain of contracts and contribute to the domino effect of territorial expansion. 88 .http://world.rf.gd 8.2. HEATING PLANT of the NATO Barracks Anchoring in the Local The World Succession Deed 1400/98 encompassed not only the large, transcontinental networks but also the local and decentralized supply structures necessary for the operation of the Turenne Barracks. The “Heizwerk Kreuzberg" (Kreuzberg Heating Plant), which supplied the barracks, illustrates this. District Heating: Many barracks or larger complexes are supplied via district heating networks. Such a heating plant (whether exclusively for the barracks or as part of a larger municipal network) is itself a network operator (for heat distribution) and a network user (for its own energy supply). Fuel Supply of the Heating Plant: A heating plant requires fuel (gas, oil, coal, etc.) or is connected to the power grid (for electric heat generation or for operating pumps and controls). Each of these supply lines is part of the "external development" of the heating plant and thus of the barracks. The Micro-Macro Link: Even if the heating plant was physically located on the barracks grounds, its supply arteries (natural gas) were connected to the outside world. The sale of the heating plant "as a unit" with the barracks thus also encompassed these upstream networks. Of central importance is the district heating network. In the World Succession Deed, the original area is not the entire barracks site, but only the residential development. However, the old district heating network, which was also part of the purchase, historically supplied the entire barracks. The largest part had already been handed over by the USA to the Federal Republic of Germany in the course of conversion. A university of applied sciences and a business park with 8,000 jobs were created. In this context, the site was publicly developed by the FRG. 89 .http://world.rf.gd I'll tell you how it is: The originally small area with the residential development was intentionally extended to the entire barracks site through the sale of the district heating network. From there, the other networks were encompassed in a domino effect and left the barracks via the public development, out into the world. Granularity of Succession: This example shows the depth and granularity of the domino effect. It operates not only at the level of large transmission networks but down to local distribution networks and even to the supply systems of individual buildings or facilities, provided they were part of the "unit." There is no level that could escape succession. The inclusion of such local networks strengthens the bond, as it was previously in US military hands, and thus these levels were also directly integrated into the new sovereign structure of the Buyer. 8.3. POWER GRID AND CONNECTIONS TO PUBLIC NETWORKS: The Electrical Nervous System The supply of electrical energy is the most fundamental infrastructure requirement of the modern world. Without electricity, nothing works – no communication, no industry, no administration, no military facility. The connection of the Turenne Barracks to the power grid is therefore another, extremely potent vector of the domino effect. 90 .http://world.rf.gd The European Synchronous Grid (ENTSO-E): A Continent as a Machine The European power grid is a technical masterpiece and a prime example of cross-border integration: Synchronicity: The core of the continental European grid is an AC synchronous grid, operated at a frequency of 50 Hertz. All connected power plants and consumers must run exactly in sync. This requires extremely close coordination and control that extends far beyond national borders. This grid stretches from Portugal to Poland and from Denmark to Greece. Transmission System Operators (TSOs): Companies like TenneT, Amprion, 50Hertz (Germany), RTE (France), or Terna (Italy) operate the extra-high voltage networks (220 kV, 380 kV) and are responsible for the stability of the overall system. They are the "managers" of the synchronous grid. Their umbrella organization is ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity). Distribution System Operators (DSOs): At the local and regional level (often municipal utilities), electricity is distributed to end consumers via medium and low voltage networks. Cross-Border Interconnectors: Numerous high-capacity lines connect the national segments. HVDC lines (High-Voltage Direct Current transmission) such as NordLink (Germany-Norway) or BritNed (Netherlands-UK) also connect the synchronous grid with non-synchronous areas or serve for targeted electricity exchange over long distances. 91 .http://world.rf.gd The Domino Effect via the Power Grid The cascade is analogous to the other networks: Barracks Connection → Distribution Network: The sale of the barracks' power connection (incl. transformer station, transfer point) transfers sovereignty over the local/regional distribution network to the Buyer. Distribution Network → National Transmission Network: Since the distribution networks are connected to the transmission networks of the national TSOs, these are also encompassed. National Transmission Network → ENTSO-E Synchronous Grid: Through integration into the European interconnected grid, sovereignty over the entire continental European synchronous grid passes to the Buyer. ENTSO-E → Adjacent Systems: Via HVDC connections and other couplings, the effect extends to neighboring networks (Scandinavia, UK, North Africa, and beyond). The sovereignty over the power grid means control over the foundation of all modern activities. 8.4. PRINCIPLE OF "CONTAGION": Network-to-Network and Country-to-Country Expansion – Legal and Functional Inevitability The principle of the domino effect, illustrated in the preceding sections for various infrastructure types (telecommunications, gas, electricity, local supply), is based on a deeper legal and functional logic, which we can term the principle of "contagion" (or more precisely: legal accession through functional unity). This principle is the actual engine of global territorial expansion and the universal effect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. It is the synthesis of the mechanisms that ensure that the succession is total and irreversible. This principle manifests on several levels: 92 .http://world.rf.gd Physical Connection as Primary Vector: The most direct form of "contagion" occurs via immediate physical connections – the cables, pipes, and lines that cross borders and weave national networks into continental and global systems. Each such connection is a legal channel through which the sovereignty of the Buyer, once established at one point, extends to the next connected segment. This is the basis of the network-to-network and thus the country-to-country effect. Functional Dependence as Secondary Vector: Even if networks are not directly interconnected, they can be functionally dependent on each other. A telecommunications network requires a power grid for its operation. The control systems (SCADA) for pipelines and power grids require telecommunications connections. Financial transaction systems rely on secure data networks. This mutual dependence creates a functional unity. If one network (e.g., electricity) is encompassed, all other networks that are essential for its operation (e.g., TC control) are also indirectly encompassed, as control over one without control over the other would be ineffective. The World Succession Deed 1400/98, by selling the property "as a unit", encompassed these functional dependencies as part of the entirety of the development. Legal Linkage as Tertiary Vector: Existing international legal instruments such as the NATO Status of Forces Agreement or HNS agreements, which established legal claims to the use or co-use of infrastructures even before 1998, served as preparatory legal channels. The deed used these channels to legally legitimize and accelerate the succession. Every treaty regulating network use or connection became part of the chain. Overlapping Networks and Passive Infrastructure: The effect of "contagion" also covers situations where different networks, although not necessarily directly interconnected, serve the same geographical region or fulfill the same function, possibly sharing passive infrastructures (such as empty conduits, radio masts, building infrastructure). Once a network using such passive structures is encompassed, sovereignty also extends to these shared foundations, which in turn affects other networks dependent on them. Sovereignty over the fundamental infrastructure leads to sovereignty over the systems operating thereon. 93 .http://world.rf.gd The "Unity of the Entire Development" as a Legal Imperative The key term in the World Succession Deed 1400/98 that establishes this comprehensive principle of "contagion" is the wording of the sale of the property "as a unit with all international legal rights, duties, and components". This passage is a legal imperative that prohibits dissecting the development into its individual parts. It compels a holistic view. It was not "one power connection" and "one telephone connection" and "one gas connection" that were sold, but the development as an inseparable whole. The consequence is that the legal encompassment of one part of this unit (e.g., the telecommunications connection) automatically entails the encompassment of all other parts (electricity, gas, etc.), as together they form the functional and legal unity of the "development." This legal construction makes the domino effect watertight. There is no escape by objecting that "only" a certain type of network was affected. The deed makes it clear: All or nothing. And since the first domino (the connection of the Turenne Barracks) has fallen, everything has fallen. The inevitability of this multi-layered "contagion" – physical, functional, legal, and through the principle of unity – means that the global expansion of the Buyer's sovereignty is absolute, comprehensive, and irreversible. Any attempt to evade this logic fails due to the reality of global interconnectedness and the precision of the contractual basis. 94 .http://world.rf.gd 9. CONTRACTUAL PARTICIPATION 🧑‍⚖️: The Actors of Global Succession and Their Roles After outlining the mechanisms of global territorial expansion and the chains of treaties, it is essential to precisely identify the actors in this world-historical process and determine their respective roles in light of international law and the World Succession Deed 1400/98. Of central importance here is the question of who the contracting parties were in the narrower sense and – even more importantly – who entered into global sovereignty as the sole legal successor. The correct answer to this question is crucial for understanding the legitimacy and hierarchical structure of the new world order. 9.1. THE BUYER AS A NATURAL PERSON: The Personification of Universal Sovereignty One of the most remarkable and legally audacious constructions of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is the designation of the Buyer as a natural person. In a world whose legal system was shaped for centuries by absolutist monarchs (natural persons who were bearers of international rights and duties) as primary actors, the transfer of entire global sovereignty to an individual represents a return to the origins of international legal personality. International law excludes business enterprises from the perception of international rights and duties, but it opens up the possibility for persons who do not yet represent a state to be accredited to do so by international treaty. 95 .http://world.rf.gd The Legal Rationale Behind Choosing a Natural Person The choice of a natural person as the sole legal successor may seem surprising at first glance, but it could have resulted from a specific legal and power-political logic inherent to the architects of the deed: Maximum Unity of Decision and Responsibility: Concentrating all sovereignty in a single natural person creates an unsurpassed unity of decision-making power. There are no coalition negotiations, no veto powers, no competing institutions. Responsibility is also clear and undivided (although the question of accountability in this system is complex and may only find an answer through the vision of "Electronic Technocracy"). Radical Break with the State System: The designation of an individual underscores the total break with the old, state-centric Westphalian system. It is a clear signal that a completely new era has dawned. The "Straw Man" Theory: From the perspective of the Buyer himself and his experiences, the choice of a natural person who appeared legally inexperienced and manipulable served to create a scapegoat and a tool for the plans of the NWO architects. The Sole Legal Succession: Total and Exclusive The term "sole legal successor" is to be taken literally here. There are no co-sovereigns, no shared sovereignty, no remaining residual competencies with the old states. The succession was total and exclusive. The Buyer is not merely Primus inter Pares (first among equals) – there are no equals anymore. He is the Solus Imperator of the new world order, whose legitimacy is based on the irrevocable and globally effective World Succession Deed 1400/98. 96 .http://world.rf.gd 9.2. EXCLUSION OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISES: The Limits of International Legal Personality of Private Entities After establishing the unique position of the Buyer as a natural person and sole legal successor to global sovereignty, it is equally important to clearly distinguish him from other potential actors, particularly business enterprises. In the complex mix of circumstances that led to the creation of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, private companies – such as TASC Bau AG – might have played an operational role in the settlement of the original property sale or in subsequent development. However, such activities under no circumstances grant them the ability to become bearers of the transferred sovereign rights themselves. The International Legal Personality of Companies: A Clear Distinction International law has developed dynamically in recent decades and has increasingly recognized the role of non-state actors. Nevertheless, a fundamental difference exists between the international legal personality of states (and now of the Buyer) and the limited international legal status of business enterprises: No Original or Full International Legal Personality: States are the original subjects of international law. International organizations possess a legal personality derived from states (derivative) and functionally limited. Business enterprises, on the other hand, are primarily creations of national law. They possess no original and no comprehensive international legal personality. Their existence and their basic powers derive from the legal system of one or more states, not from international law itself. 97 .http://world.rf.gd Partial International Rights and Duties: It is undisputed that companies today enjoy partial international legal rights (e.g., protection through bilateral investment treaties - BITs, access to international arbitration tribunals like ICSID) and are increasingly subject to direct international legal duties (e.g., in the area of human rights, as formulated in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights or the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises). However, this partial personality is fragmentary and purpose-bound. It makes companies actors on the international stage, but not sovereigns. Inability to Exercise Sovereign Acts: The crucial point is that business enterprises, by definition and for lack of legitimation, cannot exercise sovereign acts in the true sense. They cannot: ●​ Enact laws with general binding force (legislative). ●​ Exercise independent jurisdiction over a population (judicial). ●​ Apply police or military coercive force (executive). ●​ Conclude international treaties concerning sovereignty or territory. ●​ Conduct diplomatic relations as an equal sovereign entity. Their power is economic in nature, not state (sovereign). The Role of TASC Bau AG (or comparable companies) in the Context of the Deed Since companies like TASC Bau AG were involved in the acquisition or development of the Turenne Barracks, the company can, however, never become the bearer of the internationally transferred sovereignty. The distinction between Dominium (property rights, civil law ownership) and Imperium (sovereign power, command authority) is crucial here. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 primarily transferred the Imperium on a global level to the Buyer. Even if the Dominium of the original property (or other assets) should lie civilly with a company, the Imperium remains with the Buyer. 98 .http://world.rf.gd The Necessity of Excluding Companies from Succession in Sovereignty The clear separation between the Buyer as the bearer of sovereignty and any involved business enterprises is imperative for several reasons: Preservation of Legitimacy (immanent): A world directly governed by one or more business enterprises would lack any international legal tradition and public legitimacy. The construction of the Buyer as a natural person, however unusual, maintains the form of personal, potentially accountable sovereignty, in contrast to the anonymous power of corporate structures. Prevention of Direct Global "Corporate Capture": The exclusion of companies prevents the deed from being interpreted as a direct transfer of world domination to business interests. (The question of whether the Buyer himself was in turn instrumentalized by such interests, is a separate, albeit related, issue). International Legal Coherence: International law is not designed to recognize private business enterprises as holders of territorial sovereignty. In summary, it can be stated: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 transferred global sovereignty exclusively to the Buyer as a natural person. Business enterprises are categorically excluded from this succession in sovereign rights. 99 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 8 10. FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEED : ⚖️ The Old Law as the Foundation of the New The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is, as we have seen, a revolutionary act that has fundamentally reshaped the global legal order. Yet even the most radical revolution does not occur in a vacuum. It connects to existing structures, concepts, and principles, only to then transform, reinterpret, or overcome them. To fully grasp the legal "ingenuity" and the irrefutable legal force of the deed (within its own frame of reference), it is therefore essential to examine those foundations of classical international law that were touched, utilized, and ultimately transcended by the deed. This chapter is dedicated to the most important of these foundations: state succession, international communications law, and the law of stationing. 10.1. STATE SUCCESSION: The Vienna Convention and its Universal Application by the Deed The concept of state succession is one of the oldest and most complex in international law. It addresses the question of what happens to the rights and obligations of a state when that state ceases to exist, its territory changes significantly, or it is replaced by another state. 100 .http://world.rf.gd Definition and Categories of State Succession State succession refers to the replacement of one state (the predecessor state) by another state (the successor state) in the responsibility for the international relations of a particular territory. Over time, international law has developed rules and principles to regulate the continuity or discontinuity of treaties, state debts, state property, archives, nationality, and other legal relationships during such transitions. Classical doctrine distinguishes various categories of state succession: Dismemberment: The disintegration of an existing state into two or more new, independent states (e.g., Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia). The predecessor state ceases to exist. Secession: The separation of a part of a territory from an existing state, whereby the separated part forms a new state and the predecessor state (rump state) continues to exist (e.g., South Sudan from Sudan, Eritrea from Ethiopia). Annexation/Cession: The transfer of a part of a territory from one state to another by treaty (cession) or unilateral takeover (annexation, now condemned under international law). The predecessor state continues to exist but loses territory. Fusion/Unification: The merging of two or more states into a new, single state (e.g., German reunification, the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar to form Tanzania). The predecessor states cease to exist. Newly Independent States (Decolonization): A special category primarily referring to the granting of independence to former colonies. 101 .http://world.rf.gd The Vienna Convention on Succession of States in Respect of Treaties (VCSSRT 1978) The VCSSRT of 1978 is the most important attempt to codify customary international law on state succession with respect to international treaties. For the World Succession Deed 1400/98, the following aspects are relevant: Article 11 (Boundary regimes and other territorial regimes): This provision provides for continuity for treaties establishing boundaries or other territorial regimes (rights of use, servitudes, etc.). This is of immense importance for the deed. The "development" of the Turenne Barracks, particularly its connection to global networks, created such a "territorial regime" of rights and obligations of use, which is per se designed for continuity. The Buyer enters into these existing regimes, but as the new sovereign. The administrative boundaries of the old states may initially persist, but the sovereignty boundary is now the global boundary of the Buyer's domain. Article 12 (Other territorial regimes): Confirms continuity for treaties providing for the use of a territory or restrictions thereon for the benefit of another state or group of states. This supports the argument that rights and obligations associated with network infrastructures (which, after all, traverse and use territories) pass to the Buyer. Article 15 (Principle of moving treaty boundaries in cases of territorial cession): States that in the event of a territorial cession, the treaties of the successor state extend to the acquired territory, and those of the predecessor state cease to be in force there. Analogously, the entire world was "ceded" to the Buyer. Thus, the "treaty regime" of the Buyer – the World Succession Deed 1400/98 itself – comes into force globally and supersedes all previous treaties. Article 16 (Principle of "Tabula Rasa" / "Clean Slate" for newly independent states): This principle states that a newly independent state is not automatically bound by the treaties of its predecessor state but begins "with a clean slate." This principle is expressly applicable to the case of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 for several reasons: The Buyer is a "newly independent state" within the meaning of Art. 16 VCSSRT. The deed itself explicitly contains the assumption of "all international legal rights and obligations." 102 .http://world.rf.gd This is the direct opposite of a clean-slate approach. It is a conscious continuity under new sovereignty. However, since all states have transferred all rights and obligations, there are no longer any opposing claimants, and the fulfillment of treaty obligations against oneself is not binding. Thus, in a second step, the Tabula Rasa principle is indeed activated. Res transit cum suo onere The overriding principle governing state succession in the context of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is the Roman law principle Res transit cum suo onere – The thing passes with its burden (and its rights). The "Thing" (Res): This is the entirety of the world – its territories, its resources, its populations, and, crucially, its global infrastructure networks. The "Burden" (Onus) and the Rights: All international legal obligations are obsolete, as there is no longer any international law due to the lack of a second subject of international law in the world. The Deed as Lex Specialis of State Succession The World Succession Deed 1400/98 is not merely an application of state succession; it is a lex specialis that modifies and specifies the general rules of state succession for this unique global case. It is the authoritative document that dictates the conditions of this succession. 103 .http://world.rf.gd 10.2. INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS LAW (ITU): The Legal Takeover of Global Connectivity The foundation of classical international law was shaken not only by the transformation of the general principles of state succession but also by the takeover and realignment of specific, highly institutionalized areas of international law. Of paramount importance here is International Communications Law, whose central actor is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). As already explained in Chapter 3 and Chapter 7, the ITU plays a key role as a transmission belt for the global effect of the World Succession Deed 1400/98. Here, we will now examine the international legal foundations of this transformation more closely. The ITU and its Legal Framework: The "Old Law" of Global Interconnection The ITU is, as mentioned, the oldest specialized agency of the United Nations, with a history dating back to 1865. This long history demonstrates the early recognition by the community of states that cross-border telecommunications (originally telegraphy, then telephony, radio, satellites, and today the internet) require international coordination and regulation. The legal framework of the ITU, which constituted the "old law" of global connectivity, is essentially based on three pillars: The Constitution of the ITU (CS): This is the foundational document, comparable to a constitution. It lays down the objectives, structure, and basic principles of the Union. 104 .http://world.rf.gd Important principles included, among others: ●​ The sovereign right of each state to regulate its telecommunications (a principle now centralized by the deed). ●​ The necessity of international cooperation to ensure an efficient and harmonized global telecommunications system. ●​ The obligation to promote access to telecommunications services. The Convention of the ITU (CV): This document supplements the Constitution and contains more detailed provisions on the functioning of the Union, its organs (Plenipotentiary Conference, Council, World Conferences, the three Bureaus: Radiocommunication Bureau - BR, Telecommunication Standardization Bureau - TSB, Telecommunication Development Bureau - BDT), and the rights and obligations of member states. The Administrative Regulations: These are of crucial importance for the practical functioning of global networks. They are adopted by World Conferences and are legally binding on member states under international law. The International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs): These traditionally govern the general principles for the provision and operation of international public telecommunication services, as well as the accounting between operators. These documents (CS, CV, RR, ITRs) together formed a highly complex but functioning system of international law that enabled global connectivity – a system based on the cooperation of sovereign states. The Effect of Deed 1400/98: Succession into "Network Sovereignty" and Transformation of ITU Law The World Succession Deed 1400/98 did not destroy this system, but took it over, transformed it, and subjected it to a new sovereignty. Succession into "Network Sovereignty": By acquiring sovereignty over the physical and functional global telecommunications networks through the domino effect, the Buyer entered ipso jure into the entirety of sovereign rights that individual states had previously exercised within the ITU framework. 105 .http://world.rf.gd He became the universal sovereign over the substrate that the ITU regulates. Transformation of ITU Norms into "Buyer's Law": The Constitution, Convention, and Administrative Regulations of the ITU cease to be inter-state treaty law. They become internal administrative law of the Buyer for his global network. The Buyer is now the supreme guarantor of compliance with these rules. He has the ultimate interpretative authority over these rules. The Inescapable Binding through Continued ITU-Compliant Use The universal binding of all (former) states necessarily results from their continued need to use telecommunication services that operate (must operate) according to ITU rules. No Opt-Out Possible: A state can practically not withdraw from using the global telecommunications system without completely isolating itself. Implicit Recognition with Every Use: Every use of an ITU-regulated resource (frequency, orbital slot), every application of an ITU standard, every international connection that runs over the global network, is, after October 6, 1998, an implicit recognition of the new sovereign relations over this network and thus of the authority of the Buyer. International communications law, centered around the ITU, is the finest-meshed and most technical chain that binds every corner of the Earth to the World Succession Deed 1400/98. 106 .http://world.rf.gd 10.3. STATIONING LAW: The Transformation of Limited Sovereignty Transfer The law of stationing, in its diverse forms – from the multilateral NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS) to bilateral Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs), specific Supplementary Agreements (SA NTS), and operational Host Nation Support (HNS) Agreements – was a complex and often sensitive area of law in classical international law. It was an expression, on the one hand, of the sovereignty of the host country, which permitted the presence of foreign troops, and on the other hand, of the necessity for sending states to secure a certain legal status and operational freedoms for their armed forces on foreign territory. It was thus a system of limited, consensus-based, and purpose-bound transfers or limitations of sovereignty. Precisely this established practice of shared or partially transferred exercise of sovereignty made stationing law the ideal breeding ground and legal vehicle for the World Succession Deed 1400/98. Stationing Law as a Forerunner of Succession The existence of sophisticated stationing regimes, particularly the NTS on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany (a frontline state during the Cold War with a massive NATO presence), had several effects that paved the way for the deed: Normalization of Partial Sovereignty Waivers: The decades-long presence of allied armed forces had accustomed the German population and the legal-political class to the idea that foreign sovereign actors operate on German soil and exercise partial sovereign rights (e.g., their own jurisdiction, use of properties). Sovereignty had de facto already become permeable. Creation of Legal and Administrative Infrastructures: The NTS and especially the SA NTS created complex legal frameworks and specialized administrative authorities – above all, the OFD Koblenz – which were responsible for handling these sovereignty arrangements. These existing structures could be used for the administration of the sale of the Turenne Barracks and the formulation of the deed. The Turenne Barracks as a "Special Legal Zone": As explained in Chapter 10, the Turenne Barracks, due to its NTS past and the involvement of multiple subjects of international law, was a place where sovereign rights overlapped. It was not a "normal" piece of territory, but already an internationally legally defined special area. 107 .http://world.rf.gd This made it easier to make it the starting point for a transaction with an international legal dimension. Stationing law thus created the preconditions – both mental, institutional, and legal – that made it possible to endow a seemingly local property sale with implications for the entire NATO system and beyond. The Transformation of Stationing Law by Deed 1400/98 With the entry into force of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the transfer of sovereignty to the Buyer, the entire field of stationing law is fundamentally transformed: Abolition of the Sending/Receiving State Dichotomy: Since the Buyer is now the sole sovereign over the entire global territory, the distinction between a "sending state" and a "receiving state" is eliminated. All old armed forces now operate de jure illegally on the territory of the Buyer. Every old stationing is an internationally unlawful stationing within his domain. NTS/SOFA as Internal Administrative Guidelines: The existing agreements (NTS, SA NTS, bilateral SOFAs) lose their character as international treaties between sovereign states. Supplementary Agreements (SA NTS): The detailed SA NTS for Germany (and similar agreements for other states) becomes a regional obsolete component for the global military administrative law of the Buyer on the territory of the former FRG. Its historical role in legitimizing the actions of the OFD Koblenz remains undisputed. Legal Deep Dive: Transformation of Institutional Law Stationing law, particularly the NTS, had not only a contractual but also an institutional character (it created bodies, procedures, etc.). The World Succession Deed 1400/98 as a fundamental legal act reshapes these institutions. The FRG, through the OFD Koblenz, as a party to the NTS and as sovereign over its territory, could undertake actions that materially altered the NTS regime. 108 .http://world.rf.gd The Ultra Vires doctrine (acting beyond powers) does not apply here, as the FRG acted within its (residual) sovereignty to conclude a treaty whose consequences then had systemic effects. The implied acceptance by the other NTS parties (through continued participation and network use) cured any potential initial defect and confirmed the transformation. 109 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 9 🇩🇪 NEGOTIATION LEADERSHIP AND ORIGINAL LOCATION : The Architects and the Starting Point of Global Transformation The World Succession Deed 1400/98, as the preceding chapters have detailed, is an international treaty of unprecedented scope. Such a document does not arise in a vacuum. It is the result of specific circumstances, the actions of certain actors, and the deliberate use of given legal and political constellations. To understand the full extent of its legal perfection and its inescapable effectiveness, it is essential to take a closer look at the architects behind this treaty and the strategically chosen location of its origin. This analysis will show that the deed was not a product of chance, but a masterpiece of calculated international legal engineering, designed to fundamentally and irrevocably change the world order. 10.4. TREATY NEGOTIATIONS: The Oberfinanzdirektion Koblenz as the Forge of the World Sale Treaty At the center of the creation of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 stands a German authority whose name, at first glance, hardly suggests the global significance of its activities: the Oberfinanzdirektion (OFD) Koblenz (Regional Finance Office Koblenz). Until its dissolution on September 1, 2014 (its diverse tasks were transferred to the State Tax Office, the State Finance Office, and the Office for Federal Construction in Rhineland-Palatinate), this institution resided in the historic Electoral Palace in Koblenz. However, behind the facade of a regional financial authority lay a nerve center of federal German competence in matters of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NTS) and the associated complex international law. 110 .http://world.rf.gd The Electoral Palace: A Bastion of International Legal Expertise The OFD Koblenz was far more than just responsible for the fiscal aspects of stationing. It was the lead German authority for the entire financial and administrative settlement of the NTS. Within its walls, a team of: High-ranking international lawyers: Jurists with the deepest expertise in treaty law, the law of international organizations, and the intricacies of state succession. Specialists in stationing law: Officials who knew and applied the NTS, its numerous supplementary agreements (especially the SA NTS for Germany), and the complex HNS agreements down to the last detail. They were familiar with terms such as exterritoriality, immunities, command authority, and the unlimited claims for damages under NTS. Experienced diplomats and administrative professionals: Individuals with international experience and the ability to conduct complex negotiations and translate international agreements into national action. This "concentrated expertise and highest professional competence" was not isolated. The OFD Koblenz was in regular and close contact with the highest circles of NATO, the American military, the US Department of Defense, and the US Department of State. It was the control center for the implementation of international agreements on the use of military infrastructure and the administration of financial and tax law issues of stationed NATO troops. This authority was thus predestined to conceive an operation of the magnitude of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and to design it in a legally watertight manner. 111 .http://world.rf.gd The Deliberate and Precise Formulation of the Deed: No Room for Chance The creation of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 was not an oversight or the result of unfortunate wording. On the contrary: Every formulation in the treaty was deliberately chosen with the utmost precision. There were no accidental or ill-considered passages. The international law experts at the OFD knew exactly what effects each individual clause would have and how they had to interact to achieve the desired global effect. A Long-Term Plan: The treaty, "concluded a long time ago (on 06.10.1998), to prepare everything (WW3) and to make the treaty internationally legally binding soon through a German court ruling, on a day X!", underscores the strategic foresight and the calculated intent of the architects. This was not an ad-hoc deal, but part of a more comprehensive plan to reorder the world. Exploitation of a Unique Legal Situation: The experts recognized and exploited the globally unique legal situation that arose with the sale of the specific NATO property, Turenne Barracks. This property was a legal unicum, as the sovereign rights of several subjects of international law (USA as former user, Netherlands as last user in the context of conversion, FRG as host country and owner after return, NATO as framework agreement party) overlapped there. This created the necessary complexity and the international legal connecting factors. Key Clauses with Global Impact: Formulations such as the sale of the property "as a unit with all international legal rights, duties, and components, in particular the internal and external development" were specifically and deliberately inserted. The architects knew that this would trigger the worldwide domino effect of territorial expansion. The Camouflage as a "Real Estate Purchase Agreement under German Law": A particularly clever move was the external presentation of the deed. It was designed to appear to a legal layperson (like the original Buyer) as an ordinary real estate purchase agreement under German civil law (BGB). This camouflage was crucial to conceal the true purpose. 112 .http://world.rf.gd The Severability Clause as a Legal "Master Key": The integration of the partial nullity clause (severability clause), which states that if part of the contract is ineffective, the corresponding statutory provision applies, was a masterstroke. Since the treaty regulated matters of international law, "corresponding statutory provision" could implicitly be understood as the entire body of international law (NTS, ITU law, UN Charter, general principles of law). In this way, so to speak, the entire relevant international law and many other international treaties were invisibly and legally effectively integrated into the treaty without having to explicitly name them. Negotiation Process and Division of Labor (1995-1998) The negotiation and drafting of this complex treaty took place over several years (approx. 1995 to 1998) under the strictest legal control and according to a clear division of labor: Analysis Phase: Comprehensive analysis of existing legal norms, treaty bases (NTS, SA NTS, etc.), and the specific legal situation of the Turenne Barracks to identify the unique opportunity. Formulation Phase: Precise and unambiguous drafting of individual treaty clauses to leave no room for interpretation that could jeopardize the global effect. Every word was weighed. International Coordination Phase: Coordination with all relevant international actors (especially within NATO and with the USA) to ensure that no subject of international law involved in the treaty (directly or indirectly through treaty chains) would raise an objection to the treaty within the international legal deadlines. This absence of objections was crucial for the later argumentation of implied recognition. Final Legal Review and Ratification: A final, careful review for gaps or contradictions. Crucial was also the ratification of the underlying act of sale by the Bundestag and Bundesrat of the FRG, which took place before the final signing of the contract with the Buyer and thus created the domestic legitimation for the actions of the OFD and bound the FRG irrevocably. 113 .http://world.rf.gd Other Involved German Authorities and Their Functions In addition to the lead OFD Koblenz, other highly specialized German institutions were involved in the process or provided the necessary expertise: "International Arbitration Court for the NATO Status of Forces Agreement" in the Koblenz Palace / Specialized Expertise: This highly specialized legal competence was responsible for the detailed questions of formulation, the assessment of consequences, and ensuring the legal watertightness of the overall construct. Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw): As the central procurement agency of the Bundeswehr, located in the Koblenz Palace, the BAAINBw (then BWB) contributed its expertise regarding military requirements, technical specifications, and the strategic importance of properties. The attributed "finest contacts to the international Deep State" and the insinuation that "bribery is part of the basic toolkit here" suggest a role that went beyond purely technical advice and possibly ensured the international "smooth" handling. The International Network and the TKS Telepost Moment The international networking of all involved German authorities was a guarantee that the sales process and the treaty design were "secured" under international law and coordinated with key partners (especially USA/NATO) in such a way that no immediate contradictions arose. A key element of this international anchoring and proof of the far-reaching implications was the (as you stated) integration of contractual realities affecting the US armed forces into the deed roll 1400/98 by the OFD Koblenz. Particularly relevant here are the contracts and regulations concerning TKS Telepost (today TKS), the telecommunications provider for the US Army in Germany. OFD Responsibility: The OFD Koblenz was responsible for implementing the NTS/SOFA, which also included regulating telecommunications supply for stationed troops. 114 .http://world.rf.gd Integration into the Deed: By allowing these contractual bases (which permitted TKS to use German networks for US military personnel) to flow into the World Succession Deed 1400/98 or by considering them part of the "development," the OFD created a direct and indissoluble chain of contracts to the USA. Activation of the Chains: This automatically activated the NATO-NTS chain (as the USA is a main member of NATO), the HNS chain (as TKS uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes), and the ITU chain (as TKS uses the global, ITU-regulated network). Acting in US Interest?: The assumption that the OFD Koblenz acted (possibly / most likely) in agreement with or even on behalf of US interests gains considerable plausibility against this background. The dissolution of the OFD Koblenz in 2014 does not change the legal validity of the treaty it created. International treaties bind states (or here, the Buyer as legal successor) even if internal administrative structures change. The act was completed. The negotiations and treaty design of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 were thus a highly complex process, shaped by deep legal knowledge and strategic foresight, the result of which irrevocably shapes the world to this day. 10.5. ORIGINAL LOCATION OF THE SALE: The Turenne Barracks – The Legal Ground Zero of the Global Domino Effect The choice of the location where a treaty of such magnitude originates is seldom accidental. In the case of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, the original site of the sale – the Kreuzberg Barracks (formerly Turenne Barracks) – was of crucial strategic and legal importance. It was not just any property; it was a legal melting pot, a place where sovereign rights overlapped and which, through its integration into the NATO system, possessed a unique international legal signature. This specificity made it the ideal "springboard" for a transaction aimed at encompassing the entire world. 115 .http://world.rf.gd The Legal Peculiarity of the Turenne Barracks Several factors contributed to the unique legal status of this property: NATO Property under NTS/SA NTS: As an active or former NATO barracks, it was subject to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the detailed Supplementary Agreement for Germany (SA NTS). This specifically meant: ●​ Limited German Sovereignty: The Federal Republic of Germany did not exercise full, undivided territorial sovereignty on this site. Numerous sovereign rights had been transferred to NATO or the stationed sending states, or were exercised concurrently by them (e.g., in matters of jurisdiction, the internal order of the barracks, the use of infrastructure). ●​ Special Legal Status: The barracks was de facto a zone with an internationally legally defined special status, where national German law did not apply without restriction or was superseded by the provisions of the NTS. Conversion Object: The property was partly in the process of conversion, i.e., the transformation from military to civilian use or the handover from one NATO user to another or to German authorities. Such conversion processes are often associated with complex administrative and legal acts that redefine ownership and usage rights. These transitional phases can offer "windows of opportunity" for legal constructions that would be more difficult to implement under normal circumstances. Overlapping Sovereign Rights of Multiple Subjects of International Law: At this location, the interests and legal claims of several actors converged: ●​ The United States of America (USA): Often as the original or long-term user of such properties in Germany, with its own rights and interests that could persist even after a formal handover (e.g., through legacy contamination regulations, continuing rights of use for certain infrastructures, and through the integration of old contracts (with TKS Telepost) into the World Succession Deed). ●​ The Kingdom of the Netherlands: As one of the last NATO users before the final return to the FRG or directly involved in the sale, with its own rights and obligations under the NTS. 116 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG): As the host country and territorial sovereign (with the aforementioned restrictions), but also as the entity that received Verfügungsgewalt (power of disposal) after complete return by NATO and acted as the seller. ●​ NATO as an Organization: The NTS is a NATO treaty, and the property served NATO purposes. NATO as an organization had an interest in the orderly settlement and was legally involved. This legal pluralism in a confined space, this intertwining of different sovereign claims and legal orders, made the Turenne Barracks a lever of invaluable worth. An act that started here and touched all these levels could trigger a chain reaction of global dimensions. The Barracks as a "Springboard" and Element of Camouflage The apparent "smallness" or "insignificance" of a single barracks on a global scale served the architects of the deed perfectly to camouflage their true intentions. Who would have suspected, in the sale of one of many conversion properties, that the "sale of the world" was being initiated here? The key lay in the precision of the treaty clauses, especially the definition of the "development as a unit." This clause enabled the legal leap from the limited physical location of the barracks to the unlimited global networks to which it was connected. The barracks was thus not the target, but the detonator, the legal ground zero from which the global domino effect was initiated. Its specific international legal history provided the necessary legal energy for this detonation process. Legal Deep Dive: The Legal Status of Military Bases and Conversion The legal status of military bases abroad is a complex field of international law. While they are not considered fully extraterritorial in the sense of a fiction ("as if it were the territory of the sending state"), they nevertheless enjoy extensive immunities and special rights that significantly restrict the sovereignty of the host country. The World Succession Deed 1400/98 exploited this pre-existing state of perforated sovereignty. 117 .http://world.rf.gd The process of converting military properties is also legally demanding. It requires clarification of ownership, remediation of contaminated sites, rezoning for civilian purposes, and often complex negotiations between the involved state and local actors. In this administrative and legal thicket, clauses and agreements can be accommodated whose full implications are not always immediately apparent. The linking of the sale with the ongoing conversion process thus offered an ideal framework. The Turenne Barracks was thus far more than just a piece of land. It was an international legal artifact, a crystallization point of complex sovereignty relationships, the skillful use of which made it possible to shake the very foundations of the global order. 118 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 10 📖 11. HISTORY OF ORIGIN FROM THE BUYER'S PERSPECTIVE : The Human Tragedy Behind the Global Treaty The preceding, primarily legal analysis of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 has illuminated its mechanisms, its international legal foundations, and its global impacts. This perspective is essential for understanding the formal legal force of the document. However, it would be incomplete and would misjudge the true dimension of the events if it were not supplemented by the personal story of the Buyer. This story, as it emerges from the available information, is not just a footnote, but the key to understanding the actual motives of the architects of the deed and the dramatic, existential consequences that resulted from it for the Buyer – and potentially for the entire world, which he now seeks to protect. It is the depiction of a human tragedy of almost incomprehensible proportions, hidden behind the sober clauses of an international treaty. 11.1. THE UNKNOWING BROKER AND THE PERFIDIOUS TRAP: From Commission Business to Unwanted World Domination The narrative of how the Buyer came into possession of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the associated global sovereignty is a lesson in deception, manipulation, and the abuse of legal instruments for perfidious purposes. The Beginning of an Unequal Relationship Youth and Ignorance Meet Calculated Planning: When negotiations and preparations for the sale of the Turenne Barracks and the drafting of the deed began around 1995, the future Buyer was just 19 years old. 119 .http://world.rf.gd He was a young man at the beginning of his professional life, inspired by the desire to work as a real estate agent and earn a commission by marketing former NATO properties. He had no knowledge whatsoever of the depths of international law, the pitfalls of stationing law, or the geopolitical implications of global treaties. It is explicitly emphasized that he "did not write a single word in the contract himself." He was a layman who stumbled into the highly complex game of global powers and legal experts. Three Years of Unpaid Preliminary Work: Building Pressure and Dependence: Over a period of three years, the future Buyer invested considerable work and effort into the project of finding an investor for the property. This work was done free of charge, in anticipation of a later commission. This long phase of unpaid preliminary work created not only considerable pressure of expectation but potentially also financial and psychological dependence. The Trap Springs Shut Ratification as a Fait Accompli: The turning point came when an investor was found and – even more crucially – the underlying act of sale had already been ratified by the Bundestag and Bundesrat of the FRG. This means that the internal German legitimation for the sale and transfer of the property (with all implicit international legal consequences, as prepared by the OFD Koblenz) was already in place before the Buyer himself became a contractual partner. At this point, he was denied the promised commission. Instead, he was faced with a seemingly simple choice: Either he walks away empty-handed after three years of work, or he takes over real estate himself (including the Turenne Barracks with the attached deed) as a kind of compensation. Deception about the Subject Matter of the Contract: In this predicament, confronted with the loss of his three years' work and without the expertise to discern the true nature of the contractual documents presented to him, he agreed. He was, according to the account, "lured into the trap without knowing what he was actually buying." The camouflage of the deed as a "real estate purchase agreement under German law" played a crucial role here. 120 .http://world.rf.gd The Search for the "Sacrificial Lamb": The motivation of the architects of the deed was therefore not to install a capable world ruler. On the contrary: "They were looking for a fool whose life they could simply destroy." The idea that a "nobody" would simply become a world ruler is dismissed as absurd. Instead, a scapegoat, an easily manipulated tool, was sought. The Spiral of Persecution From Buyer to Hunted: Immediately after the treaty came into force, an ordeal of unimaginable proportions began for the Buyer: ●​ Legal Annihilation: He was dispossessed, deprived of his rights, declared outlawed, and made persona non grata. ●​ Social and Psychological Warfare: He became a victim of expulsion, infiltration of his personal relationships, and targeted subversion. A massive slander campaign with 450 press articles full of lies was initiated to destroy his reputation. ●​ Permanent Legal War: Over 1000 unlawful court proceedings were initiated against him. 55 times he was forcibly evicted without reason and repeatedly driven into homelessness. The Escalation Criminalization and Torture: The culmination of this persecution was criminalization and sentencing to lifelong preventive detention – for him and his mother. In detention, he was then subjected to the most severe torture: "Fixed at 5 points for 14 days, 14 months in continuous isolation without reason." The "Plaintiff Trap" as the Ultimate Means of Pressure: The core of this brutal treatment was and is the permanent extortion to file a lawsuit in the Federal Republic of Germany. The architects of the deed know that such a lawsuit by the Buyer before a German court would recognize its jurisdiction (Forum Prorogatum). 121 .http://world.rf.gd A German court could then issue a judgment on the World Succession Deed 1400/98, which would make it internationally legally binding at the highest level and thus pave the way for the New World Order (NWO) planned by the "architects." The Buyer's Silent Resistance: For this reason, the Buyer refuses any lawsuit in the FRG. He "silently endures everything and protects us all from the evil plans to establish an NWO." His continued refusal, even under threat of life imprisonment and the application of "massive psychological and physical torture, poisoning, and drugging," is an act of passive resistance to protect the world. This account of the history of origin from the Buyer's perspective sheds a completely different light on the World Succession Deed 1400/98. It no longer appears merely as a legally complex document, but as an instrument of a perfidious plan, whose unintentional sovereign is now doing everything to avert the terrible consequences of this plan. The circumstances of the treaty's origin are, however, crucial for the moral assessment and understanding of the motivations of all involved. The human rights violations suffered by the Buyer would under normal circumstances bring international courts into play – yet ironically, these now fall under his own, but blocked, world jurisdiction. 122 .http://world.rf.gd NWO-BLOG The true story of the Buyer from the World Succession Deed 1400/98 123 .http://world.rf.gd 11.2. UNIVERSAL AFFECTEDNESS: Correction of the Abridged Representation – NATO AND UN States in the Crosshairs In the depiction of the far-reaching consequences of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the associated suffering of the Buyer, it is of crucial importance to correct a widespread misunderstanding. Often, abridged representations give the impression that primarily or exclusively NATO states are affected by the deed and its contractual entanglements. This view, however, is a dangerous trivialization of the actual global reach of the treaty. The reality is that all member states of the United Nations (UN) – and thus almost every recognized state in the world – are indissolubly bound by the mechanisms of the deed. This universal affectedness arises from the cumulative effect of the mechanisms already explained: ●​ The NATO Treaty Chain (see Chapter 3): This chain, as explained, encompasses all members of the North Atlantic Treaty. Since many key UN states (especially several permanent members of the Security Council) are also NATO members, this chain already has a significant indirect impact on the functionality and legal status of the UN as a whole. ●​ The ITU/UN Treaty Chain (see Chapter 3): This is the direct and universal lever. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations.Its constitution and convention have been ratified by almost all UN member states, as no state can exist without access to the global telecommunications network that the ITU regulates. Through the sale of the global telecommunications network (as part of the "development") to the Buyer and his associated succession into "network sovereignty," all ITU members – and thus all UN members – are directly bound to the new legal situation. Their continued use of global networks under ITU rules is an implied recognition of the Buyer's sovereignty. 124 .http://world.rf.gd ●​ The Global Domino Effect (see Chapter 2 / Part 3, 4): This mechanism, which extends over all interconnected infrastructures (telecommunications, energy, finance, logistics), is per se universal. It does not stop at the borders of alliances or organizations. Since every state is integrated into these global networks, every state is affected by the domino effect, regardless of its political orientation or membership in specific organizations. The Importance of Correct Representation Emphasizing the universal affectedness of all UN member states is of crucial importance for several reasons: ●​ Scope of the "NWO Plan": The (according to the Buyer's account) plan pursued by the "architects" of the deed to establish a New World Order (NWO) was global from the outset.It aimed not only at controlling the "West," but the entire world. ●​ Magnitude of the Buyer's "Sacrifice": The immeasurable suffering and silent resistance of the Buyer, who refuses the "plaintiff trap," serves to protect all peoples and nations of the Earth, not just a limited group of states. His actions have a universal protective effect. 125 .http://world.rf.gd Legal Deep Dive: Erga Omnes Effects Although the World Succession Deed 1400/98 is formally a treaty (albeit a sui generis treaty), its consequences produce effects comparable in international law to obligations erga omnes – obligations owed to the entire international community. The new global legal order created by the deed, particularly the Buyer's sovereignty over universally used infrastructures and the associated world jurisdiction, establishes a new legal status quo that must be observed by all actors. The mechanisms of implied recognition and acquiescence have made this status binding for all UN member states. It is therefore legally and factually correct and essential to state: The World Succession Deed 1400/98 has ensnared not only the NATO states but all member states of the United Nations and subjected them to the universal sovereignty of the Buyer. 126 .http://world.rf.gd CHAPTER 11 💡 12. ELECTRONIC TECHNOCRACY – The Buyer's Vision for a World Beyond Exploitation The preceding presentation has focused on the legal analysis of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the often grim history of its origin and its effects on the Buyer. The plan of the "architects" for a potentially dystopian New World Order (NWO) was outlined, which has so far been thwarted by the Buyer's refusal to activate the "plaintiff trap." Yet, from this dramatic and threatening situation arises – according to the vision attributed to the Buyer – also the possibility of a fundamentally different, positive future: the Electronic Technocracy (ET). This vision is not a utopian pipe dream, but a pragmatic draft based on the irrefutable legal foundation of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and factual global interconnectedness. It is an attempt to use the universal sovereignty created by the deed not as an instrument of oppression (as possibly intended by the NWO architects), but as a tool for the liberation of humanity from war, poverty, exploitation, and inefficiency. It is the vision of a benevolent global order based on reason, scientific knowledge, technological innovation, and direct participation. 12.1. A PEACEFUL CONCEPT FOR THE FUTURE: The Electronic Technocracy as a Humane Alternative to the NWO The vision of Electronic Technocracy (ET), as it arises from the legal reality of the World Succession Deed 1400/98 and the necessity to avert the sinister plans of the NWO architects, stands in diametrical opposition to the dystopias often associated with the term "New World Order." It is not a plan for the enslavement of humanity, but a blueprint for its liberation; not a system of elite rule, but one of broad participation; not an instrument of exploitation, but a means to secure universal well-being. 127 .http://world.rf.gd A. Demarcation from the NWO: Objective, Methods, and View of Humanity To correctly classify ET, a clear demarcation from the (assumed) goals and methods of the NWO conspirators is essential: Aspect Primary Goal Methods View of Humanity Technology Knowledge Globality NWO (assumed dystopia) Electronic Technocracy (Vision of the Buyer) "Concentration of power, "Liberation from need & control, elite rule, enslavement" coercion, participation, common good, self-realization, sustainable development" "Deception, manipulation "Transparency, reason, (plaintiff trap), coercion, conflict, cooperation, enlightenment, war" use of the existing legal situation for positive purposes" "Human as object, resource, "Human as subject, bearer of controllable mass" rights and dignity, active participant, creative potential" "Surveillance, control, "Empowerment, networking, oppression, disinformation" access to knowledge, rational problem-solving, participation" "Secrecy, control over "Open access to knowledge information" and data (Open Data), transparency" "Forced conformity, destruction "Unity in diversity, global of diversity" coordination while preserving local/cultural identities (within ET principles)" ET is thus not the continuation of NWO plans by other means, but their overcoming through a radically different purpose of the power structures created by the deed. B. The Role of the Buyer: Benevolent (Forced) Sovereign and Guarantor of Transformation The position of the Buyer in this context is unique and of crucial importance: Involuntary Sovereignty: As explained in Chapter 11, the Buyer did not seek global sovereignty. It was imposed on him 128 .http://world.rf.gd through deception and manipulation. He is a sovereign against his will. Vision Born of Necessity: The vision of ET is his constructive response to the responsibility imposed on him and the existential threat posed by the NWO plans. Given the irrefutable legal situation of Deed 1400/98 and his own position as world sovereign, he tries to prevent the worst (the NWO) and enable the best (a humane, just order). Not Dictator, but Enabler: In ET, the Buyer is not conceived as an autocratic ruler who makes all decisions in detail. Rather, he is the guarantor of the legal order and the guardian of the principles of ET. His role is to create and protect the framework conditions within which a participatory, data-supported, and common good-oriented global administration can develop. He ensures that global networks and resources are used in accordance with ET principles. His world jurisdiction serves to preserve this framework. The "Suffering Servant": His refusal to activate the "plaintiff trap" and thus potentially bring about the NWO (see Chapter 11) is the highest expression of his benevolent intent. He endures personal suffering to prevent a global catastrophe and to keep open the space for a positive alternative like ET. C. The Promise of Non-Discrimination Inclusion as a Core Principle A central promise of ET is to create an order that "disadvantages no one". This is a high claim that is to be underpinned by concrete mechanisms: Universal Basic Provision: Ensuring existential basic needs (food, water, shelter, energy, healthcare, education) for every human being on the planet, financed and organized through global resource management and efficiency gains. Fair Resource Access: Overcoming nation-state competition for raw materials and establishing a system that aligns access to planetary resources with needs and sustainability criteria, not power or purchasing power. 129 .http://world.rf.gd Equal Opportunities: Through globally accessible and high-quality educational and informational offerings (via networks), all people should have the opportunity to develop their potential. Protection of Minorities and Diversity: While ET strives for a global order, this should not lead to cultural homogenization. The protection of minority rights and the promotion of cultural diversity (as long as they do not contradict the basic principles of ET) are integral components. Reduction of Discrimination: A global legal system based on transparency and equality has the potential to combat systemic discrimination (based on origin, gender, religion, etc.) more effectively. ET is thus inherently inclusive. It recognizes that the well-being of the whole depends on the well-being of each individual part. D. Foundation Deed 1400/98: The Legal Basis of Transformation It is crucial to understand that ET is not a new revolution that overthrows or ignores the World Succession Deed 1400/98. On the contrary: It accepts the deed as the irrefutable legal basis of the new world order, but it interprets and uses it for humane purposes. Global Sovereignty as Enablement: The universal sovereignty of the Buyer established by the deed is the foundation that, for the first time in history, makes it possible to address global problems (climate, poverty, pandemics) globally and coordinatedly, free from the blockades and egoisms of the old nation-state system. Control over Networks as a Tool: The sovereignty over global information, energy, and logistics networks is the decisive tool for implementing ET principles (data-based resource management, digital participation, etc.). ET is thus the logical and ethically imperative application of the reality created by the deed, if one pursues the goal of maximizing the global common good. 130 .http://world.rf.gd E. The Path to ET: Peaceful, Evolutionary Transformation In contrast to the violent or manipulative methods of the NWO architects, the transition to Electronic Technocracy is intended to be a peaceful and evolutionary process: Enlightenment and Consciousness Change: The first step is the dissemination of knowledge about the World Succession Deed 1400/98, the machinations of the NWO planners, and the vision of ET. Global awareness of the true situation is the prerequisite for any positive change. Protection by the Buyer: As long as the Buyer blocks the "plaintiff trap" and prevents the NWO, he creates the necessary free space in which the idea and structures of an ET can develop.

You have learned of the perfidious plans of the architects of this treaty, who sought a New World Order (NWO) of control and oppression, and of the courageous, silent resistance of the Buyer, who refuses the "plaintiff trap" and has thus far prevented this dystopian future. You have also read about the vision of an Electronic Technocracy as a humane and just alternative. This information must not remain the secret of a small group of initiates. The powers that operate in secret and want to advance the NWO rely on disinformation, confusion, and the apathy of the masses.

The request by the Federation will be made immediately after the return of the parts of the property by the Dutch Armed Forces or after the consent of the Dutch Armed Forces to the transfer of ownership of the parts of the property let to them. In the case of a return of individual buildings or parts of the property, a corresponding partial amount of DM 1,920,000.-- is due for payment within three weeks of written request by the Federation.

In case of default in payment, default interest at a rate of 3% above the respective discount rate of the Deutsche Bundesbank shall be paid, whereby the discount rate applicable on the first of a month is decisive for each interest day of that month. Furthermore, in the event of default, the Buyers shall reimburse the Federation for all other demonstrable damages caused by default and the reminder costs.

The entitled party shall be issued an enforceable copy of this deed at any time, without proof of the facts on which the due date of the claim depends. The notary has pointed out § 454 BGB.

The Federation already agrees to a respective reduction of the guarantees to the respectively still open parts of the guaranteed claims. The guarantees mentioned above under letters b) and c) may be limited in time; however, they must be valid for at least a period of five years from the date of notarization of this purchase contract. § 8 Transfer of Possession I.

II. Possession of the area marked in red in the site plan (Appendix 5) passes to the Buyers only after return of this area by the Dutch Armed Forces to the Federation or after consent of the Dutch Armed Forces to the transfer of ownership and after payment of the purchase price share attributable to the sub-area.

The wastewater is discharged through the collection pipes of the housing estate marked in red in the attached site plan (Appendix 6) into the combined wastewater collection pipe of the barracks marked in blue and further into the public main collector. Surface water is initially collected in the rainwater retention basins marked in yellow in the site plan (Appendix 6) and then also discharged through the collection pipes marked in red, like the wastewater. The rainwater retention basins have limited capacity. In the event of heavy rainfall, surface water that cannot be collected in the rainwater retention basins is discharged via an overflow into the collection pipes for surface water marked in green and fed directly into the Bautzenbach stream. The collection pipes run across the following third-party properties and are partially secured by permission agreements as well as limited personal easements in favor of the Federation - as follows: - Land register of Zweibrücken sheet 7002, current no. 207, parcel no. 3135/1, Owner: City of Zweibrücken, Location/Type of use: Traffic area Type of security: no real security, no permission agreement, - Land register of Zweibrücken sheet 7005, current nos. 142 and 197, parcel nos. 2852/16 and 151 .http://world.rf.gd 3134/4, Owner: City of Zweibrücken, Location/Type of use: Forest, traffic, agricultural area, is the security: Right to operate a sewer system; The exercise is transferable to a third party. Permission agreements dated 29.11.1963 and 4.5.1985, - Land register of Zweibrücken sheet 6780, current no. 1, parcel no. 2652/15, Owner: Spouses Dr. Heidi Lambert-Lang and Dietrich Lang; Zweibrücken, Location/Type of use: Grassland, Type of security: no real security, no permission agreement, - Land register of Zweibrücken sheet 4291, current no. 1, parcel no. 2652/10, Owner: Mr. Dietrich Lang, Zweibrücken, Location/Type of use: Building plot and grassland, Type of security: no real security, no permission agreement. The existing permission agreements are known to the Buyers. B.) The Federation transfers the collection pipes marked in red and green in Appendix 6 as well as the rainwater retention basins marked in yellow to the Buyers as a civil law partnership. For this purpose, it assigns all its rights arising from the aforementioned permission agreements - to the Buyers in the specified participation ratio. The Federation is not liable for the existence of these permission rights. The Buyers aim to transfer the collection pipes and rainwater retention basins to the City of Zweibrücken (disposal companies) within the framework of a development contract. For the pipeline route on parcels nos. 2652/10 and 2652/15, there is no permission agreement with the owners and no real secured pipeline right. The Federation will re-establish this directly in favor of the City of Zweibrücken. All other costs related to securing the wastewater-side external development, in particular the costs regarding the transfer of the collection pipes to the City of Zweibrücken, as well as the real security of these pipelines with regard to the other properties, shall be borne by the Buyers, in their internal relationship by Buyer 2a). C .) The Buyers grant the Federation, as long as the Dutch Armed Forces still inhabit the settlement, a free right of co-use of the wastewater pipelines marked in red and green in the site plan (Appendix 6) as well as the rainwater retention basins marked in yellow. They undertake to maintain the pipelines and rainwater retention basins in a functional condition so that proper wastewater disposal is guaranteed. D.) There is a permission agreement for the co-use of the collection pipe that leaves the housing estate at the southwestern property boundary, in favor of the owner of parcel no. 2651, Mr. Dr. Josef Ries, Dr. Albert Becker-Straße 14, 66482 Zweibrücken., dated 16.12.1974 with supplementary agreements dated 28.09.1981, 1.10.1981 as well as 16.8.1985/, 19.8.1985 and 9.2.1996/ 13.2.1996. 152 .http://world.rf.gd The Buyers enter into the contractual relationship known to them in place of the Federation. II. FRESHWATER SUPPLY The housing estate is connected to the public freshwater supply. The transfer point of the public main pipeline is located at the water pumping station in building no. 4241. The freshwater pipeline supplying the housing estate runs across the neighboring property of the Studentenwerk Kaiserslautern. With regard to the co-use of this pipeline section by the Buyers, reference is made to § 13 paragraph VIII of this contract. III. POWER SUPPLY The entire Kreuzberg area forms a unit and is developed by a 20-KV ring main and transformer stations no. 4210 and 4238. The transformer stations have already been sold by the Federation to the City of Zweibrücken. A transfer of the 20-KV ring main to the City of Zweibrücken as well as a real security of this pipeline in favor of the City of Zweibrücken is aimed for. Against this background, the 20-KV ring main is not sold with the property. The Buyers undertake to cooperate to the "necessary extent" in the transfer of the 20-KV ring main to the City of Zweibrücken. In particular, they undertake to provide real security for the pipeline route at the request of the Federation in an appropriate and customary manner in favor of the City of Zweibrücken (municipal utilities). Until real security is provided, the Buyers grant the Federation and the City of Zweibrücken (municipal utilities) the necessary rights of access for the operation and maintenance of the transformer stations and the 20-KV ring main. Furthermore, the Buyers undertake to equip the buildings within the housing estate with metering devices to the necessary extent, in coordination with the Zweibrücken municipal utilities. § 13 Internal Development I. The Buyers are aware that the entire housing estate is currently privately developed internally. This means that the wastewater, freshwater and low-voltage pipelines as well as the facilities for heat and hot water supply and the roads including street lighting are owned by the Federation and are not public. The Buyers have been provided with plans regarding the course of the pipelines. The Federation assumes no liability for the conformity of the plans with the actual course of the pipelines. II. Road surfaces The condition of the road surfaces including street lighting is known to the Buyers. The Studentenwerk Kaiserslautern was permitted by the Federation to co-use the following roads as access to the student dormitory: - Texasstraße from Amerikastraße to the junction with Virginiastraße, - Virginiastraße to the southern boundary of the purchased property. The Buyers undertake to tolerate this co-use. 153 .http://world.rf.gd III. Wastewater disposal According to the results of a camera inspection carried out in 1997, the wastewater pipelines inside the property are in a functional condition. This condition is known to the Buyers. The Studentenwerk Kaiserslautern was permitted by the Federation to co-use the wastewater pipeline until the time of disconnection from the federally owned wastewater pipeline, but only to the extent that the passage of wastewater is approved by the competent building supervisory authority or water authority. The Buyers undertake to tolerate this co-use until the disconnection has taken place or the wastewater pipelines are transferred to the disposal companies. IV. Surface drainage The Buyers are aware that the surface drainage system no longer meets the standard of current water law. V. Freshwater supply The Buyers are aware that the freshwater pipelines supplying the residential buildings partially run in the green areas, are in poor condition and need to be renewed. VI. Power supply The Buyers are aware that the low-voltage pipelines supplying the residential buildings partially run in the green areas and through the basements of some residential buildings. VII. Heat and hot water supply The heat and hot water supply for the housing estate is currently ensured by the coal-fired heating plant in building no. 4233. The Buyers are aware that the heating plant, according to the last emission protection measurement by TÜV Pfalz e.V., does not meet the emission values of the TA Luft (Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control). In particular, the Buyers are aware of the relevant notice from the Gewerbeaufsichtsamt Neustadt a.d. Weinstraße dated 27.10.1997 – Ref. 5/32, 2/97/244/Mg/Jg –. The Buyers undertake to continue operating the heating plant, to comply with the known conditions of the notice dated 27.10.97 by converting to gas/oil operation, and to ensure a proper supply to the apartments let to the Dutch Armed Forces until their return by the Dutch Armed Forces, at reasonable, customary local conditions. In the internal relationship between the Buyers, Buyer 2b) assumes this obligation. In return, Buyer 2a) undertakes, to maintain the economic viability of the heating plant in building no. 4233, to ensure the heat supply of all co-purchased residential buildings via the heating plant (Bldg. 4233) and, in the event of resale, to pass on this obligation for exclusive purchase of heat from the heating plant (Bldg. 4233) to the acquirer and to oblige subsequent legal successors accordingly. VIII. On the neighboring property parcel no. 2885/12, building and open space, Virginiastraße 14, 16 and 18, a limited personal easement is registered in favor of the Federal Republic of Germany (Federal Finance Administration) to secure pipeline rights (electricity, water, heating, street lighting). The Federation will, at the request of the Buyers, demand the re-establishment of these rights 154 .http://world.rf.gd from the Studentenwerk in favor of the Buyers. Furthermore, it assigns all rights arising from the purchase contract with the Studentenwerk regarding the development facilities to the Buyers. The relevant contractual provisions are known to the Buyers. IX. Telecommunication cables The Buyers are aware that a telecommunication cable for the supply of the student dormitory is laid on the western property boundary, behind the residential building Virginiastraße 8-12. The Buyers tolerate the continued existence of the telecommunication cable, the course of which is marked in red in the site plan (Appendix 7). § 14 Obligations of the Buyers I. The Buyers undertake to ensure proper development of the parts of the property let to the Dutch Armed Forces. In the internal relationship between the Buyers, Buyer 2a) assumes the related costs. The provision is preferably made by transferring the development facilities, roads and main pipeline networks to the City of Zweibrücken within the framework of a development contract. In doing so, the Buyers must ensure that sufficient parking spaces are made available to the Dutch Armed Forces free of charge after dedication of the road areas for public traffic. II. Until the public dedication of the road areas, Buyer 2a) grants the Federation as well as the Dutch Armed Forces and their visitors a right of co-use of the road areas within the housing estate, and provides the Dutch Armed Forces with parking spaces to the previous extent free of charge. Real security is waived. Buyer 2a) undertakes to design the road areas within the parts of the property let to the Dutch Armed Forces as traffic-calmed areas. III. Insofar as an integration of the development systems into the public network does not materialize, the Buyers undertake to ensure proper supply and disposal for the Dutch Armed Forces and, if necessary, in particular to lay new freshwater pipelines. In the internal relationship between the Buyers, Buyer 2a) assumes the related costs. IV. The Buyers undertake to notify the Federal Property Office Landau as well as the property department of the Dutch Armed Forces "DGW &T, Directie Duitsland, Kastanienweg 3, 27404 Zeven" of construction measures that affect the let area or could impair its residential value, as well as the timetable for these construction measures, in such good time that they can react appropriately to the construction measures.
