Occupation statute

The Occupation Statute of Germany (German: Besatzungsstatut) of April 10, 1949 specified the roles and responsibilities of the newly created German government and the Allied High Commission in West Germany. It was drawn up by American, British, and French representatives and was in rule until the Treaties of Paris (1954) came into force on May 5, 1955. The Allies' representatives asked the Parliamentary council drafting a constitution to accept the statute. Although it met resistance from the SPD, the council accepted the Occupation Statute.
