United Nations petition — incomplete report<br />

In nearby Complaint the terms "senior civil servant" and "senior state official"<br />

applies to any government official and official permanently/temporarily appointed<br />

by the Norwegian King in Council of State pursuant to Article 21 of the here-<br />

inabove cited Constitution.<br />

A "civil servant", "public servant", "public official" or an "official" may, in this<br />

Complaint, be any person employed by the Norwegian Civil Service or by a local<br />

authority in Norway who is not a senior civil servant or a senior state official.<br />

Studying Article 1 of the Norwegian Constitution, we learn that Norway is a<br />

limited and hereditary monarchy. The present monarch — King Harald V the<br />

Headless (cf pp 31 and 68–69), was born the 21 th of February 1937, and formally<br />

swore the oath specified in Article 44 of the Norwegian Constitution Feb 21, 1958.<br />

Mr Headless, upon the death of his father, took office as Norwegian head of state<br />

January 17 th 1991, and officially swore the oath laid down in Article 9 of the Nor-<br />

wegian Constitution four days later.<br />

To those acquainted with the innate corruptibility, judgmental maladroitness<br />

and psychopathological temperament prevalent amongst Norwegian senior civil<br />

servants and officials (cf pp 122–124 above), it should be no surprise to find<br />

essential parts of the Norwegian Constitution going on the rocks right from the<br />

start…..<br />

The "hereditary monarchy" referred to in Article 1 of said Constitution, is founded<br />

on the regulations of Article 6 ib — sic:<br />

"The order of succession is lineal, so that only a child born in<br />

lawful wedlock of the Queen or King, or of one who is her-<br />

self or himself entitled to the succession may succeed, and so<br />

that the nearest line shall take precedence over the more remote<br />

and the elder in the line over the younger.<br />

An unborn child shall also be included among those entitled to<br />

the succession and shall immediately take her or his proper place<br />

in the line of succession as soon as she or he is born into the world.<br />

The right of succession shall not, however, belong to any person<br />

who is not born in direct line of descent from the last reigning Queen<br />

or King or a sister or brother thereof, or is herself or himself<br />

a sister or brother thereof.<br />

When a Princess or Prince entitled to succeed to the Crown of Norway<br />

is born, her or his name and time of birth shall be notified to the first<br />

Storting in session and be entered in the record of its proceedings.<br />

For those born before the year 1971, Article 6 of the Constitution<br />

as it was passed on 18 November 1905 shall, however, apply. For<br />

those born before the year 1990 it shall nevertheless be the case<br />

that a male shall take precedence over a female."<br />
