Message from Federal President Horst Köhler on the occasion of the Day of German Unity 2009
The Basic Law turns 60!
The Basic Law was originally promulgated on 23 May 1949 as a provisional arrangement for the Federal Republic in divided Germany. Since 3 October 1990 it has been the constitution of reunited Germany. Its 60th anniversary will be celebrated this year.
Two major events will take place in Berlin to mark this occasion: on 22 May an official ceremony will be held in the Konzerthaus on Gendarmenmarkt while on 23 May there will be a street festival in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
When the representatives from over 190 countries meet in December 2009 in Copenhagen at the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15), they will be focusing on the future of our planet. In the Danish capital the delegates will negotiate a new, binding international agreement on climate protection designed to succeed the present Kyoto Protocol in 2013. Many of the data used by the experts come from Bonn.

“What I want to do is raise awareness that we are all part of the human family, that we inhabit one and the same world and are all dependent upon one another. And yes, there is a moral dimension, too, I want to highlight the need for a global ethic. I believe we need to discuss issues of social justice more and more in a global and not merely a national context."
