[hide] *1 History  ==History[ Edit] == Statute of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 15 december 1954The Second World War caused a different view of the Kingdom and the colonialism as 1939 had functioned. Suriname and Curaçao the ' dependency ' (from 1948 officially ' the Netherlands Antilles') at that time were the only pieces of Netherlands ' unoccupied '. Particular was that more than half of the Allied aircraft fuel from the refineries ofAruba and Curaçao came. Queen Wilhelmina announced via Radio Oranje for more independence in 1942 for the sea parts. For Dutch East Indies showed that not enough.Unilaterally proclaimed independence was In 1945 . In 1949 was eventually transferred to the sovereignty by Netherlands the Republic of Indonesia.

In the meantime, the negotiations were begun 1948 with Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles. The ' Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands ', or simply the Statute, was completed in 1954 . This statute announced Queen Juliana on 15 december 1954 in the Knights Hall solemnly. The anniversary of the Kingdom is therefore each year on 15 december on Kingdom day celebrated.

In the Statute was the starting point the equivalence of Netherlands, Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles (notDutch New Guinea ). The Dutch areas-New Guinea, Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles to a large extent got its own board what local affairs were concerned. The joint Affairs of the realm were jointly decided. This status continued to exist even after the transfer of New Guinea to Indonesia.

The first adjustment to the Statute came in 1975. The cabinet Den Uyl was in power and it was decided that "it actually could no longer to have to colonies". As of 1975 Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles were separate countries within the Kingdom. New Guinea was already gone, Suriname became independent (with a lump sum of 3.5 billion guilders). Each country retained a Governor in representation of the King (except Netherlands, because there was the King himself). Each country got its own Government and all countries except Netherlands sent a Minister Plenipotentiary to Netherlands as a representative of the own Government for consultation regarding the Affairs of the Kingdom (changes to the staff regulations, to the Constitution as far as the State of mind and the Affairs of the Kingdom the Kingdom laws).

These adjustments came up short after each other in 1985. Wanted to spread his wings and Aruba left the nest. As a transitional arrangement got Aruba a "status aparte"--it was a separate country within the Kingdom (so that the statute again for three countries gold) and included in the text of the new statute was that this was in preparation for an independent Aruba.

In 1994 and 1998 also adjustments followed. In addition to any matters of a technical nature was the most notable adjustment the disappearance of the text about the ultimate independence of Aruba.

In 2001/2002 in the run-up to the general election of 2002, the Statute was again prominent in the news. Upcoming politician Pim Fortuyn had then "illegally present in Netherlands Antilleans" (which was not the case; Its statutory Dutch and Antilleans must at all times in the Netherlands) and about "changing the status of Aruba in a municipality of Netherlands" (which may not singlehandedly Netherlands; adaptation of the statute requires the consent of all countries).

The last update of the statute went as said in on October 10, 2010, in the context of the dissolution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. ==Starting Points<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The principles of the Statute are one joint Dutch nationality for all inhabitants of the Kingdom, one head of State (the legitimate successors of Queen Juliana), one one common foreign policy and common defence.
