Both governments and embassies have approached Germany for many years because of international family and child conflicts. Now the European parliament will deal with such questions. Especially foreign parents have had dramatic conflicts with German Jugendamt and courts.
Foreigners report report to be shocked meeting German administration and
courts e. g. not having even heard when decisions were made and of many
other forms of unfair treatment. 5 German states are the last states in
the civilized world to deny freedom of information i. e. the "Right to
Know" or access to public information. While Germans have been subject to
these denials for ages (Appendix
D, E), foreigners are used to
these civil rights and do not accept human right violations.
German judiciary lacks independence (Art. 6 European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) to protect citizens rights and human rights against the "Jugendamt" and other authorities. Judges in federal states are hired, promoted and supervised by the governments. Independence of the justice system is considered basic for a democracy and regulated with international law (Appendix C, D).
In direct contact with administration the right to good administration according to Recommendation 1615 (2003) of the Parliamentarian Assembly of the Council of Europe and CoE Recommendation Rec(2007)7 on good administration and Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in EU is missing in Germany, i. e.
When administrative courts were founded, there was no supervision of judges, because it would have been a disadvantage for citizens who complain against the administration lead by the government. However the dictator Hitler added supervision of courts. Before the Prussian administrative courts (Preußischen Oberverwaltungsgericht) have been without supervision since 1875, as well as e. g. administrative courts in Saxony. But § 7 sentence 1 of the first regulation ("Durchführungsverordnung) of 29. April 1941 of the decree of the fuehrer ("Führer-Erlass") on the establishment of the administrative court of the Reich (Imperial Law Gazette RGBl I S. 201: Erste DV = RGBl I S. 224) gave the minister of justice of the Reich supervision rights.
Today a majority of both law scientists, lawyers and politicians defend this invention of the dictator Hitler of supervision of judges.The human right of access to public documents is international considered
a precondition for democracy:
Transparency is important to fight corruption. The lack of transparency can be illustrated by these facts:
The National Integrity Report (NIS) is part of an initiative of the European Commission in the fight against corruption. In January 2012, Transparency Germany published the NIS Report : - 84 weaknesses in the fight against corruption (Appendix T). Germany has to improve the federal FOI law, adopt FOI laws in 5 federal states (Bundesländer), ratify CoE and UN conventions against corruption and improve transparency of sideline jobs for members of parliaments and funding of political parties to catch up with other states (see weakness no. 2, 3, 4, 8, 34, 35 and 52 of the NIS)
This rejection of the human right of access to information and
transparency in Germany is outstanding in EU, Europe and the civilized
world.
Therefore the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is important. In Article 8 of the ECHRFF family rights are protected. Article 10 ECHRFF secures Freedom of Information. However the ECtHR has an overload of cases and demands that all domestic remedies must be tried first. i. e. national courts up to the highest level. The costs of domestic remedies are high, because a lawyer has to be hired for higher courts.
The Human Rights Commissioner of the Council of Europe visited Germany and published the report CommDH(2007)14 with many suggestions, i. e. promote independent extrajudicial complaints bodies and educate judges and administration in human rights (Appendix H). However the national parliament Bundestag rejected even to discuss (Appendix L) these suggestions and petitions to 11 local parliaments where rejected (Appendix I).
But Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union reads:
"The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities."
Unfortunately only new members are evaluated and must adopt these norms. Germany violates e. g. the following international principles:
