NO. 17/028 13-2 JUDICIAL COUNCILS IN DENMARK AND GREENLAN D 16 JANUARY 2018 The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) has received a questionnaire from the UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers by email on 18 December 2017. The Special Rapporteur has requested information on national judicial council and/or other national organs or mechanisms in charge of selection, appointing, promoting, transferring, suspending or removing of judges. Based on the contributions, the Special Rapporteur will compile a report on the topic to be presented to the Human Rights Council in June 2018. As DIHR is appointed as national human rights institution (NHRI) in Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the information below includes information on appointment of judges in Greenland in addition to the information concerning judicial appointments in Denmark. The Faroe Islands are also a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, DIHR is not appointed as national human rights institution for the Faroe Islands. For this reason, DIHR has not provided information on judicial appointment in the Faroe Islands. Overview of the judicial system In order to provide an overview of the interrelation between the Danish and Greenlandic judicial systems, a brief overview of the organisational and administrative structure is provided below.1 The judicial systems in Denmark and Greenland are governed by separate legal frameworks, i.e.

  • Regionalization in Denmark in the Light of Political Transformations in Europe
    InteRnAtIonAL ConFeRenCe «PolitICAL tRAnSFormatIonS In MoDeRn eURoPe» REGIONALIZATION IN DENMARK IN THE LIGHT OF POLITICAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN EUROPE (EXEMPLIFIED BY CHANGES IN THE LEGAL STATUS OF AUTONOMIES IN GREENLAND AND THE FAROE ISLANDS) Inna A. Rakitskaya* DOI 10.24833/2073-8420-2017-1-42-22-30 Introduction. Of all Nordic countries, only Denmark and Finland have their own national-territorial autonomies. In other Nordic countries, there are non-territorial national autonomies of the Sami people, who are entitled to form their own representa- tive bodies (the Sametings). The southern part of Denmark on the border with Germany (in the Northern Hol- stein) is home to German-speaking minority, the existence of which can be attributed to a national-cultural autonomy. However, it is not entitled to form its own parlia- ment (contrary to the Greenlandic and Faroe people) but enjoys guaranteed represen- tation in the Danish Parliament – the Folketing. In order to guarantee the rights of the German-speaking national minorities Denmark has become the member of the Coun- cil of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities since February 1, 1998, and the member of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages of 1992 since January 1, 2001. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the article is formed by gen- eral scientific and special methods of investigation into legal phenomena such as sys- tematic and structural analysis, the synthesis of social and legal studies, formal logical and comparative legal methods. The results of the research: The analysis of the legal status of Greenland and the Faroe Islands leads to the conclusion that the two Danish autonomies are to a very large extent independent in their relations with the central authorities.

  • The World Factbook
    The World Factbook North America :: Greenland (part of the Kingdom of Denmark) Introduction :: Greenland Background: Greenland, the world's largest island, is about 81% ice-capped. Vikings reached the island in the 10th century from Iceland; Danish colonization began in the 18th century, and Greenland was made an integral part of Denmark in 1953. It joined the European Community (now the EU) with Denmark in 1973 but withdrew in 1985 over a dispute centered on stringent fishing quotas. Greenland was granted self-government in 1979 by the Danish parliament; the law went into effect the following year. Greenland voted in favor of increased self-rule in November 2008 and acquired greater responsibility for internal affairs when the Act on Greenland Self-Government was signed into law in June 2009. Denmark, however, continues to exercise control of Greenland's foreign affairs, security, and financial policy in consultation with Greenland's Home Rule Government. Geography :: Greenland Location: Northern North America, island between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Canada Geographic coordinates: 72 00 N, 40 00 W Map references: North America Area: total: 2,166,086 sq km country comparison to the world: 12 land: 2,166,086 sq km (410,449 sq km ice-free, 1,755,637 sq km ice-covered) Area - comparative: slightly more than three times the size of Texas Land boundaries: 0 km Coastline: 44,087 km Maritime claims: territorial sea: 3 nm exclusive fishing zone: 200 nm or agreed boundaries or median line continental shelf: 200
