| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, on August 1, 1975, the famous Helsinki agreements on security and cooperation in Europe were signed, ushering in a new era of cooperation between the European countries with different social systems. These agreements, which enshrined the inviolability of the European borders, reaffirmed the immutability of the results of World II and the 1945 Potsdam Conference. The nations participating in the Helsinki negotiations (35 in all) developed a code of principles that the European States were to follow in their relations and also laid down the groundwork for transparency and trust between the States of the "Western" and "Eastern" blocs in the military sphere. In particular, the text of the Helsinki Final Act incorporated documents on advance notice of major military exercises and other confidence-building measures, which subsequently played a key role in the evolution of the European security system. |
