A/HRC/7/3/Add.1 page 110 Para Country Date Type Mandate Allegations transmitted Government response Agreement Between the Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty Regarding the Status of Their Forces (NATO Status of Forces Agreement SOFA) of 19 June 1951 establishes a primary right for the U.S. military authorities to exercise jurisdiction over a member of their force or of a civilian component in relation to offences arising out of any act done in the performance of official duty.

In conclusion, the Stuttgart Public Prosecution Office was not able to establish that anyone subject to German jurisdiction was in fact involved in any criminal offence under German law and therefore no further investigations were carried out. Moreover, it stated there has been no waiver by the U.S. authorities of their primary right to exercise jurisdiction over U.S. military personnel in EU-COM, nor is such a waiver expected.
