You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Judgment in Berlin''''' is a 1984 book by [[United States federal judge|federal judge]] [[Herbert Jay Stern]] about a [[aircraft hijacking|hijacking]] trial in the [[United States Court for Berlin]] in 1979, over which he presided.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1988-05-25-8802010132-story.html|title='JUDGMENT IN BERLIN' A POWERFUL STATEMENT|last=Writer|first=ROGER HURLBURT, Entertainment|website=Sun-Sentinel.com|date=25 May 1988 |language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-06))</ref>

From the end of [[World War II]] in Europe in May 1945 until the [[German reunification|reunification]] of Germany in October 1990, [[Berlin]] was divided into four sectors: the American Sector, the French Sector, the British Sector, and the Soviet Sector, each named after the occupying power.  The Soviet sector, informally called [[East Berlin]], was considered by [[East Germany]], then a member of the [[Warsaw Pact]], to be part of its territory and in fact its capital, and the American, French, and British Sectors, collectively called [[West Berlin]], were in some respects governed as if they were a part of [[West Germany]], a member of [[NATO]].  Seldom did the American government exercise power directly in the American sector, except as it affected American military forces stationed in Berlin.  In particular, the judgeship of the United States Court for Berlin was vacant except during the trial over which Judge Stern presided.

In 1978, after prodigious diplomatic efforts, [[NATO]] had convinced the [[Warsaw Pact]] states to sign an international convention on [[aircraft hijacking|hijacking]], in which each signatory state promised to punish hijackers who landed in their territory((cn|date=October 2021)).

On 30 August 1978, Hans Detlef Alexander Tiede and Ingrid Ruske, both East Germans, used a [[starting pistol]] (not an actual gun) to hijack a Polish passenger aircraft ([[LOT Polish Airlines Flight 165 hijacking|LOT Polish Airlines Flight 165]]) from [[Gdańsk]] bound for East Berlin's [[Schönefeld Airport]] and diverted it instead to the [[U.S. Air Force]] base at [[Tempelhof International Airport|Tempelhof Airport]] in West Berlin.  The West German government was very reluctant to prosecute Tiede and Ruske because of the West German policy of supporting the right of East Germans to flee oppression in the [[East Germany|GDR]].  However, the NATO members did not want to lose the hijacking treaty on which they had worked for so long.  Consequently, the case was prosecuted in the never-before-convened United States Court for Berlin.

Over the prosecutor's objections, Judge Stern ruled that the defendants were entitled to be [[jury trial|tried by a jury]], a procedure abolished in Germany in 1924.  The case against Tiede's co-defendant Ingrid Ruske was dismissed because she had not been notified of her [[Miranda rights]] before signing a confession.  Tiede was acquitted on three charges, including hijacking and possession of a firearm, but convicted of taking a hostage.  He was sentenced to time served&nbsp;— about nine months.

A significant subtext in the book is Stern's refusal to accept assertions made by representatives of the [[United States Department of State]] that, as the authority appointing the judge for the United States Court for Berlin, it also had the right to control the judge's decision, i.e., tell Stern what to decide. The "time served" sentence, writes Stern, was the only method by which he could protect Tiede from the [[State Department]]. Not surprisingly, the State Department and the U.S. Mission to Berlin had a different view of the facts and circumstances, Mark Feldman Oral History at p. 126, https://adst.org/OH%20TOCs/Feldman.Mark.pdf

In 1988, Stern's book became the basis of a [[Judgment in Berlin (film)|movie with the same name]] that starred [[Martin Sheen]] as Judge Stern, [[Harris Yulin]] as Bruno Ristau, and [[Sean Penn]] as Witness X.
