The ordinance on the regulation of colonial affairs of March 21, 1924 ( RGBl. I p. 371) was an ordinance of the Reich President and the Reich government , with which the responsibilities under colonial law were redefined.
The loss of the German protected areas through the Versailles Treaty and the resulting obsolescence of the colonial administrations made administrative reorganization necessary. Quite a few legal relationships that arose during the colonial era continued to exist - not only those of continued colonial societies on the basis of the Protected Areas Act . In addition, from 1919 to 1920 the Reich Colonial Ministry, the successor authority of the Reich Colonial Office , had not yet completed the settlement transactions in connection with the former protected areas. In this sense, "the perception of colonial affairs with removal from was Reich Ministry of Reconstruction to the Reich Foreign Minister transmitted with the proviso that the yet to be done, processing transactions on the Minister of Finance and the supply matters to the Minister of Labor " went over. The Reich ministers involved regulated the distribution and transfer of business in detail.
In contrast to the actually higher-ranking Protected Areas Act , the regulation on the regulation of colonial affairs was not explicitly incorporated into the revised federal German law , but its provisions remained fundamentally valid on the basis of Article 123.1 of the Basic Law . Both legal provisions were not repealed until January 1, 1977 with the law on the dissolution, liquidation and deletion of colonial societies of August 20, 1975 ( Federal Law Gazette I, pp. 866, 885 ).
