48 Gründe für Nichtigkeitsklage gegen Energiecharta Vertrag (Erweiterte Fassung)
48 Gründe für eine Nichtigkeitsklage gegen den Energiecharta-Vertrag (ECT) durch die neue Bundesregierung beim Internationalen Gerichtshof (IGH) in Den Haag mit Inzidenzprüfung des „ergänzenden delegierten Taxonomie-Rechtsakts“ wegen massiven Verstoßes gegen die höchstrangige und zwingend umzusetzende UN-Klimarahmenkonvention (UNFCCC) und das Paris Abkommen (PA) gem. Art. 53, 64, 65 und 66 Wiener Vertragsrechtskonvention (WVRK) (überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung)
1. Die Einhaltung und Durchsetzung der UN-Klimarahmenkonvention sowie des Paris Abkommens sind absolut überlebenswichtig für die gesamte Menschheit.
Deshalb müssen über die allgemeinen, aber offensichtlich wenig erfolgreichen Appelle hinaus zusätzlich auch bestehende und höchst effektive völkerrechtliche Sanktions-Instrumente aktiv eingesetzt werden, um die Menschheit mit allen zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln effektiv zu schützen.
Hier kommt insbesondere die völkerrechtliche Anerkennung der UN-Klimarahmenkonvention und des Paris Abkommens als neues höchstes und zwingend umzusetzendes Völkerrecht („ius cogens“) in Betracht, denn ein „ius cogens“ bewirkt, dass internationale Verträge, die diesem massiv widersprechen, vom Internationalen Gerichthof als nichtig bewertet werden müssen.

Application to the Federal Constitutional Court for Transfer of proceedings to the Attorney General
Fri 30.04.2021 11:04
High Court,
In the above proceedings, I request that the files be closed and forwarded to the Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Because this is not only about grossly erroneous government action in the area of climate protection measures.
By deliberately failing to adopt the urgently needed, survival-critical protective measures against the now massively escalating climate catastrophe, the Federal Government, in particular
- Chancellor Angela Merkel
- Environment Minister Svenja Schulze
- Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier
knowingly and thus intentionally or, with regard to the legal consequences of their actions/omissions, at least conditionally intentionally, is committing the attempt of
genocide according to Art. 6 (c) Rome Statute
and
crimes against humanity according to Art. 7 paragraph 1 (b) Rome Statute
against the plaintiffs, the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany and the entire world population.
In addition to the - thankfully - clear and unambiguous findings of your Senate, impressive evidence of the intentionality of the defendants' actions can be found, for example, in the following reports:

Geheimsache CO2 - Wie die Klimapläne der Regierung zur Erderwärmung beitragen | Kontraste - YouTube
Moreover, it is questionable whether, due to the repeated years of deliberate delay in the adoption of highly effective measures against global heating by the federal government, the experimental stage has already been exceeded and the occurrence of the demise of the plaintiffs, the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany and the entire world population can no longer be averted, i.e. the elements of a crime are fulfilled.
To make matters worse, the German government is also aware that the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has determined that the maximum level of global warming that can still be bearable, so 1.5°, will not be reached in 2030, but as early as 2024.
In this respect are not for example for years braked and finally obviously completely insufficient measures for the averting of the deadly climatic disaster but absolutely maximum power efforts - like the immediate exit from coal, oil and gas, the immediate ending of any fossil subsidies, the massive subsidization of renewable energies, the active protection of the Amazon rain forest by cancellation of the EU-MERCOSUR agreement, which has been massively destroying the Amazon rain forest since the treaty was announced, as well as a fundamentally new, climate protection-oriented economic policy - necessary to save the plaintiffs, the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as the world population from the all-destroying, in the meantime exponentially increasing global warming.

The federal government must resign immediately!
The completely inadequate and still thwarting any highly ambitious climate protection measures Federal Climate Protection Act has to be repealed as a whole immediately.
The above-mentioned, for the survival of the plaintiffs, the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as the entire world population extremely urgently necessary, absolutely maximum protection measures for the averting of the beginning of the irreversible climatic disaster in 2024 are to be decided immediately by the parliament.
