12. Constitutional Ambiguities
Greenland’s relationship with Denmark is defined by complex legal frameworks, particularly concerning sovereignty and international treaties. The Danish Constitution applies to all parts of the Kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland, establishing Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland. However, the 2009 Self-Government Act grants Greenland extensive autonomy, allowing it to negotiate and conclude international agreements in areas within its jurisdiction (mazanti.dk). This dual structure creates ambiguities regarding the extent of Greenland’s sovereignty and its capacity to engage independently in international affairs.
