Preliminary proceedings aimed at you concerning accusations of high treason and breach of international law against the Principality of Sealand

Dear Mr. “Lawyer” XXXXX

from several quarters we have received documents confirming that the preliminary proceedings mentioned above are justified. Thus we are bound to start an inquiry about you.

You are charged with personally having committed or caused to be committed criminal offences and breaches of international law against the embassy and trade mission of the Principality of Sealand in the German Reich. At the same time you are said to have denied the existence of the state Deutsches Reich (German Reich) as confirmed by the Constitutional Court of the FRG as well as the judicially confirmed existence of the Commissary Government of the German Reich. This would constitute evidence of high treason.

You knew that the property at Ahrensdorfer Straße 7 in Trebbin is embassy grounds that for you is extraterritorial. You are neither competent for this area nor may you perpetrate or instigate any criminal offence or breaches of international law to be committed there. You may not apply there any law that is external to the Principality of Sealand, nor any supposed law of the Federal Republic of Germany that de jure is extinct. This applies also in the case that you may have believed to act upon the orders of a superior.

We have to point out that until the state German Reich that is empowered to act signs of a peace treaty with all the victorious forces of World War Two, the SHAEF Legislation remains in force. Thus anyone contravening the SHAEF Laws has to reckon with any conceivable punishment.

This you know. Your knowledge also applies to the instigation by you to perpetrate criminal offences in the embassy of the Principality of Sealand that contravene international law (especially according to regulations by the United Nations and the SHAEF Legislation), the constitution of the German Reich, of Prussia, of the Province and the Special Status of Berlin. The enforcement of these inadmissible and thus invalid ideas and actions can only happen by breach of law and contravention of valid laws and regulations of international and national law an only within a dictatorship.

According to the still valid licence of the three western military governors of May 12, 1949 (VOBl brit. Zone p. 416) to the charter of the FRG of May 23, 1949, as well as the still valid BK/O (50) 75 of August 29, 1950 (VOBl I p. 440), stating the Berlin is NOT a federal state of the FRG, confirmed by the judgement of the Federal Constitutional Court of May 21, 1957, file number 2BvL6/56 (BverfGE 7, p. 1) and according to the still valid four-power agreement about Berlin of September 3, 1971 with the accompanying documents and the final Four-power Protocol of June 3, 1972, stating that Berlin is NOT a federal state of the FRG, and according to the basic agreement of June 6, 1973 between the “GDR that is temporary according to occupying law”, confirmed in a verdict of the Federal Constitutional Court of July 31, 1973, file number 2BVF1/73, stating that Berlin is NOT a federal state of the FRG, and according to the agreement for the regulation of the special status of Berlin (BGBl 1990 II, p.1274) the German sovereignty in respect to Berlin is NOT touched (i. e. everything mentioned above will remain fully valid) and as all decisions made by the allied authorities remain in all respects final and binding (like a judgement from a court of law), Berlin is henceforth NOT a federal state of the FRG.

Based upon the on-going Constitutionally Special Status of Berlin, you as a “lawyer” in the de jure non-existent Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia cannot apply the law of the Federal Republic of Germany that is de jure extinct at the latest since September 28, 1990, when – in connection with the so-called unification treaty of August 31, 1990 – the territorial coverage of the Charter in Article 23 of the Charter in its original version of May 23, 1949, was deleted (BGBl. 1990 II, pp. 889/890).

According to the still valid BK/L (67) 10 of May 24, 1967, (NJW 1967, p. 1742) in connection with Article IV of the agreement for the regulation of certain questions pertaining to Berlin (BGBl. II 1990, p. 1274), anyone contravening BK/L (67) 10, or the still valid “SHAEF Legislation” or “Four-power Rights and Responsibilities” is punishable and liable if convicted to any possible penalty including the death penalty, see article V of the still valid “SHAEF Proclamation No. 1” of September 10, 1944, (Official Gazette US Military Government Germany, Issue A, p. 1).

Those contravening the Reich Constitution actually in force and ratified by the SHAEF Legislator shall upon the proclamation by the UN of Berlin to Great Berlin (Groß-Berlin) be apprehended following the warrant already approved by the Allies and brought before the then authorised courts of the German Reich for high treason.

Should you not be sufficiently informed of the actual legal situation and the valid status of Berlin, then it is alarming that you practise your “profession” with such a dearth of expertise; however, we will be happy to acquaint you with the actual and valid legal position.

It is our task to protect the still valid Constitutionally Special Status of Berlin while observing international law, the still valid Constitution of the German Reich, the valid Constitution of the Free State of Prussia, the still valid constitutions of Berlin and other Prussian provinces, the still valid municipal constitution of the corporate areas of Groß-Berlin and the agreement for the regulation of certain questions pertaining to Berlin (BGBl, 1990 II, p. 1274; please check your desk: Sartorius II, Text 612).

Further we are administering the arrest warrants already approved by the Allies and the SHAEF Legislator and all criminal offences (like “Salzgitter”) in order to co-ordinate the arrests etc. after the proclamation of Groß-Berlin. Should the accusations against you prove to be correct, you will be entered in our file of those in breach of the Status of Berlin, of war criminals, Nazis and high traitors.

To complete the picture, we announce that the sentence for high treason is the death sentence. After conviction you would have to expect your execution.

You are hereby given two weeks to rebut the accusations by furnishing proof. Postal delivery to us determines the deadline. Should you wish a personal interrogation, please let us know.

Should we not hear from you within the time limit set above, we assume the correctness of our documents and of the accusations against you (breach of law both international and pertaining to the Special Status of Berlin, high treason). In that case we will instigate all necessary steps. We point out that after approval of the arrest warrant it is no longer possible for you to appeal and that you will be accountable to the Reichgericht (Court of Law of the German Reich).

Independent of this we ask you to desist in the future from taking any actions against the Principality of Sealand, its embassy and its Prime Minister, Mr. Johannes W. F. Seiger, and to respect the exterritoriality of the Sealand Embassy and the diplomatic status of Mr. J. W. F. Seiger.

Yours sincerely

The Plenipotentiary
for the Constitutionally
Special Status of Berlin
