Everything about The Charter For The Kingdom Of The Netherlands totally explained
The
Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands (in Dutch:
Statuut voor het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden; in Papiamentu:
Statuut pa e Reino di Hulanda) describes the political relationship between the three different countries that form the
Kingdom of the Netherlands:
the Netherlands in Europe and the
Netherlands Antilles and
Aruba in the
Caribbean. The different
constitutions of these three countries are legally subjected to the Statute.

The Charter states explicitly which elements of lawmaking and policy are to be dealt with on the level of the Kingdom and are thus valid for all three countries.

Council of Ministers of the Kingdom. The affairs of the Kingdom are:
Other provisions
In addition, the Charter contains provisions on mutual assistance and co-operation between the three countries. All three countries are, as per the Charter, obliged to promote the realisation of
human rights and
good governance. The Charter can only be amended with the approval of all three countries.
New relations within the Kingdom
Since 2005, the governments in the three countries within the Kingdom are negotiating a
renewal of their relationship. These negotiations are expected to finish sometime in 2008. The probable outcome will be that three of the islands of the Netherlands Antilles,
Bonaire,
Sint Eustatius and
Saba will become part of the country of
the Netherlands;
Curaçao and
Sint Maarten are expected to become separate countries within the Kingdom. The Netherlands Antilles will in that case cease to exist as a political entity.
