Conference of interior ministers

209th Conference of Interior Ministers of the Länder, Magdeburg 2018

The Standing Conference of Interior Ministers of the countries , shortly Interior Ministers (IMK) is an inter-federal coordination committee of the Interior Minister and Interior Senators of the German states. The Federal Minister of the Interior also takes part as a guest. The chairmanship changes annually between the countries.

The Interior Minister of Thuringia , Georg Maier ( SPD ), has led the IMK since March 5, 2020 . Since Thuringia did not have an interior minister between February 5 and March 3 due to the government crisis in Thuringia 2020 , the interior minister of Schleswig-Holstein , Hans-Joachim Grote ( CDU ), temporarily took over the chairmanship of the IMK.

overview

The conference was founded in 1954 in order to give the previously existing technical cooperation a political priority. In 1977 the conference passed the model draft of a uniform police law , which has been updated at irregular intervals since then.

The office of the Conference of Interior Ministers is affiliated to the Federal Council , but the IMK is not part of the federal government .

The IMK usually meets twice a year. Due to current political developments or threats to internal security , special meetings at short notice can be called. Resolutions can also be passed by written circulation . The principle of unanimity applies to the resolution of the IMK ; there is also the possibility of abstaining.

The State Secretaries and State Councilors meet regularly two weeks before the meetings of the Interior Ministers ' Conference to prepare the meetings of the Ministers and Senators in what is known as a preliminary conference.

The meetings of the Interior Ministers' Conference are normally opened with a lecture by the Federal Interior Minister on the domestic security situation. The actual conference of the interior ministers itself is based on the form of the "fireplace chat". The results of the meetings are presented by the respective chairman of the conference of interior ministers together with the federal interior minister.

The decisions of the Conference of Interior Ministers have been public since 2000, unless a state or the federal government objects to their publication.
