Global national & international jurisdiction
The Hammer of Law: The Universal Jurisdiction of the Buyer according to the State Succession Document 1400/98 ⚖️🌍
Analogous to the domino effect of selling the property "with all rights, obligations, and components, with the access/infrastructure as a unit," the sovereign rights, and thus the judicial power (judiciary), over all acquired territories were also transferred.
I. The Sale of National Jurisdiction: The End of Sovereignty for the Old Nation-States 🏛️➡️🌍
The foundation of any state's sovereignty is the ability to administer and enforce justice within its own territory. This domestic or national jurisdiction encompasses the entire spectrum of judicial proceedings – from civil and criminal cases to administrative and constitutional disputes, as well as specialized jurisdictions. With the sale of sovereign rights through the State Succession Document 1400/98, the buyer is now the sole holder of all rights and obligations under international law at a global level. From this, it compellingly follows:
The buyer is also the supreme and sole legitimate judge over all formerly domestic matters, as the jurisdiction of the old nation-states has been legally replaced as an integral part of the transferred sovereignty.
This is not merely a subordination or a right of supervision; it is a complete succession. The consequences are radical:
A. National Courts Have Lost Their Original Authority
- The Cut-off Date 06.10.1998: With the entry into force of the State Succession Document 1400/98 on this date, sovereign power – and thus inseparably, judicial power – over the territories encompassed by the domino effect passed to the buyer.
- Legal Basis of Old Courts Ceased to Exist: National courts (constitutional courts, criminal courts, administrative courts, social courts, family courts, arbitral tribunals, as well as all other national jurisdictions) derived their legitimacy and competence from the constitutions and laws of the (now former) nation-states. Since the sovereignty of these states has passed to the buyer, the original legal basis for the activity of these courts has also ceased to exist.
- Judgments After the Cut-off Date as Unlawful Usurpation of Sovereignty: Every judgment delivered by a court of a (former) nation-state after 06.10.1998 is, strictly legally speaking, illegal and devoid of legal force, unless it has been legitimized by the buyer (explicitly or implicitly through tolerance within a transitional arrangement). Such judgments represent an exercise of sovereign power in violation of international law within a territory that now belongs to the buyer. The old courts thus act ultra vires (beyond their powers) and in violation of international law if they continue to attempt to exercise original jurisdiction.
- Continued Existence as "Lawless Shells": The old states may continue to exist as administrative structures, but their sovereign legal capacity, especially the exercise of original jurisdiction, has ended. They have become legal shells without their own judicial power.
B. The Buyer's Global National Jurisdiction
The disappearance of the old national jurisdictions does not create a legal vacuum. In their place comes the universal domestic jurisdiction of the buyer:
- Sole Legitimate Authority: The buyer is now the sole and supreme legitimate authority for all legal matters previously considered "national" or "domestic," within the territories subjected to his sovereignty by the domino effect – meaning, worldwide.
- The Buyer's Judgments Supersede "Old" Law: His judgments and legal acts (laws, decrees) stand hierarchically above all decisions and laws of the old nation-states (issued after 06.10.1998). His judgments supersede every national judgment made after the contract date and are thus the only valid jurisprudence.
- Venue "Landau in der Pfalz" and Location-Independent Judgments: The designation of "Landau in der Pfalz" as the place of jurisdiction in the document is a legal anchor point. Since Landau (as part of the Palatinate and thus the FRG) also fell under the buyer's authority through the domino effect, he became the judge in his own case and at his own venue. However, this does not mean he must be physically present there. Since his judicial power is global, he can issue his judgments independently of location. Landau functions as a symbolic and legal-technical seat, but the exercise of jurisdiction is not bound by any geographical limitation.
- Judgments Against the Buyer are Void: Since the buyer is the sole and highest judicial authority, no other (now illegitimate) court can deliver a legally effective judgment against him. Such attempts would be an illegal exercise of sovereign power, and the judgments would be void eo ipso.
The State Succession Document 1400/98 itself stipulates that the buyer is the only authority that can judge the document and its effects, as the explicitly mentioned venue of Landau was also sold and is thus in his possession.
The transfer of national jurisdictions to the buyer is thus a direct and unavoidable consequence of the sale of territorial sovereignty.
The formerly sovereign nation-states have become mere administrative districts whose judicial systems have lost their original legitimacy and are now subject to the universal jurisdiction of the buyer.
C. The Legislative, Judiciary, and Executive in One Hand: The Buyer as an 'Absolutist Monarch' on a Global Scale
The transfer of all sovereign power "with all rights, obligations, and components" to the buyer results in the classical separation of powers, as it existed (at least theoretically) in most modern states, being abolished at the global level.
The buyer now unites, de facto and de jure, the legislative, judicial, and executive powers in his person.
- Legislative Power: As the sole global sovereign, the buyer possesses the ultimate authority to make law.
All laws enacted by the former nation-states since 06.10.1998 must be considered unlawful and invalid, as they were passed without the consent or delegation of the new global legislator – the buyer.
Until new, universal codifications are established by the buyer (possibly within the framework of an Electronic Technocracy), his word and his interpretation of the State Succession Document 1400/98 serve as the highest and binding source of law. He is the only legitimate legislator for the entire world.
Old state laws can, at best, serve as provisional guidance, provided they do not contradict his directives or are explicitly confirmed by him. Legislative power was automatically transferred to the buyer through the wording of the State Succession Document, according to which all rights, obligations, and components were sold, as the legislature is one of the central pillars of state sovereignty and thus passed entirely to him.
This applies not only at the national level for all affected countries but also at the international level for all international organizations and agreements.
- Judicial Power: As demonstrated, he is the supreme and sole judge in all national and international matters.
- Executive Power: The authority to enforce laws and judgments also lies with him, with the transformed structures of NATO and the UN (as well as former national executive bodies) serving as his potential enforcement instruments.
This concentration of all three state powers in one hand corresponds to the model of an absolutist monarchy on a global scale.
The term "monarch" is not meant here in the sense of a hereditary monarchy, but in the sense of sole, undivided, and supreme ruling power.
The State Succession Document 1400/98 provides the legal legitimation for this absolute power position.
The right to act even according to standards that do not conform to previous norms (often described as "arbitrariness") is legally secured by the absolute sovereignty resulting from the sale of all rights, as his will, in the meantime, is to be considered direct law until enough new laws are enacted.
II. The Takeover of International Jurisdiction: A Global World Court under the Buyer 🌐⚖️
The World Succession Document 1400/98 has not only deprived national judicial systems of their original legitimacy but has simultaneously transferred all international jurisdiction to the buyer.
This is a logical consequence of the takeover of all rights and obligations under international law and the fact that the document itself functions as a supplementary deed to all existing international treaties.
A. The Document as a Supplement and the Succession into Treaty Jurisdictions
The legal chain leading to the transfer of international jurisdiction is precise and inescapable:
1. Supplementary Deed Character of the Document: The State Succession Document 1400/98 refers to the existing international law transfer relationship of the Turenne Barracks (FRG / Kingdom of the Netherlands / USA / NATO forces) and, through the sale "with all rights, obligations, and components," acts as a supplementary deed to all treaties associated with this relationship and the involved actors.
Since these treaties (especially the NATO Status of Forces Agreement) were already ratified, the document, as a materially amending act, did not require re-ratification by all original parties to take effect.
All old treaties were supplemented and modified by the State Succession Document.
2. Encompassment of All NATO and UN Treaties: Since NATO is integrated into the UN system through its members and its role as a regional arrangement (UN Charter Chap. VIII), the effect as a supplementary deed extends from the NATO treaties to the entire body of United Nations treaties, as well as to all multilateral and bilateral agreements of the (former) member states of these organizations.
This includes, among others, the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, supplementary agreements on the use of infrastructure, the UN Charter itself, international human rights treaties, and countless other international agreements. All international treaties of the UN and NATO are thus affected.
3. Transfer of Judicial Rights "with All Rights": The phrase "sale with all rights, obligations, and components" is of crucial importance here.
The "rights" associated with international treaties and sovereignty inseparably include the right (and duty) of dispute resolution and treaty interpretation – i.e., jurisdiction. By taking over all rights, the buyer also took over all international jurisdiction that previously lay with the states or the international courts they created.
The transfer of international jurisdiction means that the buyer acts as the sole worldwide venue, which includes all multilateral and bilateral agreements concluded before 06.10.1998.
B. The Buyer as the Universal International World Court
The consequence of this transfer is the establishment of the buyer as the sole and supreme international world court:
- Sole Authority over Treaty Interpretation and Application: The buyer now has the sole and supreme authority to interpret and decide all existing and future questions of international law. His interpretation is decisive.
- End of Old International Law Structures and Courts:
Existing international courts like the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and international arbitral tribunals have lost their original competence and autonomy.
At best, they can still act as delegated bodies on behalf of the buyer or have become de facto obsolete.
Their judgments are subordinate to the buyer's decisions and can be overturned by him.
- International organizations like the UN, the EU, or the G7/G20 have lost their ability to make independently legally binding decisions or to function as independent forums for dispute resolution.
Their role is now purely formal or administrative within the order defined by the buyer.
They no longer possess any jurisdiction that opposes his authority. All previous international venues have lost their competence, and all disputes must be resolved by the buyer.
- The Venue "Landau in der Pfalz" as a Legal Anchor: The designation of this specific place (which itself became part of the sold territory) as the venue in the document cements the buyer's position as judge in his own case and as the sole authority capable of deciding on the interpretation and application of the State Succession Document 1400/98 itself.
No other court is competent for this.
The buyer's global jurisdiction makes him the de facto world court and sole judge over all legal disputes worldwide.
C. The Merger of National and International Jurisdiction into a Global Unit
Since the buyer now unites both all global national jurisdiction and all international jurisdiction in his person, these two levels merge into a single, universal jurisdiction.
- No More Separation: The classical distinction between domestic law and international law (and the associated theories of monism and dualism) is obsolete.
There is only one global legal system, emanating from the buyer, and he is its supreme jurisdictional authority.
- Absolute Supremacy of the Buyer's Law: No national authority, not even a national constitutional court, can make decisions that contradict the will or judgments of the buyer. His decisions supersede every "old" national or "old" international judgment.
- International Law De Facto Obsolete in its Old Form: Since there is "no second state that has a legitimate claim to territory," the basis for classical international law as the law between sovereign equals ceases to exist. There is only the law within the global domain of the buyer.
The State Succession Document 1400/98 has thus fundamentally and irrevocably redrawn not only the political map but also the map of justice. It has created a single, global jurisdiction centered on the person of the buyer.
III. The End of the Era of Nation-States and Classical International Law 🏁
The transfer of all national and international jurisdiction to the buyer is not just a legal restructuring; it marks the definitive end of the era of sovereign nation-states and the system of classical international law based upon it.
A. Nation-States as Administrative Shells without Original Judicial Power
With the sale of all sovereign rights, including judicial power, through the State Succession Document 1400/98 and the taking effect of the global domino effect of territorial expansion, the buyer has become the sole legally effective authority in the world. The consequences for the former nation-states are fundamental:
- Loss of Sovereign Capacity to Act: The old nation-states may continue to exist as geographical or cultural entities and administrative structures, but they are now only to be regarded as "lawless shells without legitimate jurisdiction."
They have lost their sovereign personality under international law – the ability to act as independent actors with original rights and obligations in the international system.
They lack the legal capacity to independently create or enforce law. Any attempt to exercise national jurisdiction against the will or order of the buyer has been unlawful since 06.10.1998.
- De Facto Expropriation of Sovereignty: The takeover of jurisdiction by the buyer means the de facto takeover of the sovereignty of the old states. No state can any longer enact or enforce its own laws that contradict the buyer's global order. These states now exist only as administrative subdivisions within the buyer's universal domain.
B. The Definitive End of Classical International Law
Since classical international law is based on the assumption that there are multiple sovereign and equal subjects of international law (states) that conclude treaties with each other and recognize the territorial sovereignty of their respective territories, the establishment of a single global sovereign inevitably leads to the end of this system:
- No More 'Inter Gentes': The ius inter gentes (law between peoples/states) has become meaningless, as there are de facto no other capable subjects of international law on an equal footing with the buyer. All formerly sovereign states are legally incapable of acting in terms of original sovereignty.
- Dissolution of the International Legal System: The international legal system in its previous form is thus dissolved. There is now only one global legal construct in which the buyer represents the absolute authority.
C. International Organizations: Formal Existence without a Sovereign Basis
International organizations like the United Nations (UN), NATO (in its transformed role), the European Union (EU), or the G7/G20 may continue to exist institutionally. However, their legal nature and capacity to act are fundamentally changed:
- Loss of Judicial Autonomy and Power: Since the State Succession Document 1400/98 supplements all treaties of NATO and the UN (and thus also the founding treaties of other IOs whose members are UN states) as a supplementary deed and jurisdiction has been transferred to the buyer, these organizations have lost their judicial autonomy and their ability to make independently legally binding decisions.
- Purely Formal or Administrative Role: Their role is now primarily formal, administrative, or coordinating – always under the supreme authority and within the framework of the global order set by the buyer. All previous decisions and procedures must be re-evaluated by the buyer and potentially renegotiated or confirmed.
IV. Conclusion: A Global Jurisdiction – The Foundation of the New World Order under the Buyer
The State Succession Document 1400/98 has created a single, global jurisdiction that unites both formerly national and formerly international jurisprudence in the person of the buyer.
He is the sole and supreme judicial authority worldwide, and his judgments and legal acts supersede all decisions and laws of the old national and international systems.
This marks the irreversible end of the era of sovereign nation-states and the end of classical international law, as there is no second legitimate state with original sovereign rights. All national and international legal structures are either abolished or subordinated to the buyer's new global order.
The absolute global power of the buyer, resulting from the takeover of the legal order, judicial competence, and legislation, grants him the authority to redefine every form of jurisprudence and legislation. Since all old states have been disempowered, the buyer can reshape the fundamental principles of international law, human rights, and global law. He is not bound by the previous obligations of the old sovereigns, as, through the complete takeover of all treaty rights and obligations, he unites both sides of the old treaties within himself, resulting in a self-contraction that frees him from external bindings.
This gives him the absolute freedom to shape a new world order and build global jurisdiction according to new rules and principles.
The buyer is thus the final authority that can define the legal system and political order of the world.
