Article 16 Aanvullende Overeenkomst bij het Verdrag tussen de Staten die partij zijn bij het Noordatlantische Verdrag nopens de rechtspositie van hun krijgsmachten, met betrekking tot de in de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland gestationeerde buitenlandse krijgsmachten

1 The military authorities of a sending State shall have the right, in accordance with applicable regulations of such sending State, to take charge and dispose of the remains of members of the force or of the civilian component and of dependents in the event of their death in the Federal territory and to perform such autopsy as may be required for medical reasons or purposes of criminal investigation. Requests by German authorities that an autopsy be performed shall be granted; in the case of autopsies carried out for medical reasons this shall only apply insofar as such an autopsy is admissible under the law of the sending State. A German medical officer of the court (Gerichtsarzt) or a public health officer (Amtsarzt) may be present during the autopsy. In the case of an autopsy for the purposes of a German criminal investigation this right shall extend to a German judge or public prosecutor, whose advice concerning the requirements of German criminal procedure in the case of autopsies shall be taken into consideration. In cases where a German court or authority is competent to order an autopsy, the second, third, and fourth sentences of this paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis if the military authorities of a sending State have an interest in the results of such an autopsy.

2 Where so authorized by the law of a sending State, the military authorities of that State shall have the right to take possession of the personal property of the deceased within the Federal territory and to apply it, in the first place, to the payment of any preferential charges which may be prescribed by the law of that sending State and, in the second place, to the settlement of any other debts incurred in the Federal territory and for which there exists a legal obligation to pay in that territory and thereafter to dispose of the remainder in accordance with the law applicable to the estate of the deceased. The provisons of this paragraph shall not apply if the deceased was a German.

3 The forces shall have the right at agreed sites to establish and maintain cemeteries as may be necessary in the fulfilment of their defence responsibilities.
