N-o. 2220. 02/1177-1. 2. a/80 1 enclosure Dear Mr. Secretary-General, I take the liberty of transmitting to you the copy of a letter which I have addressed to the Chairman of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (36th session). The letter concerns the human rights situation in Guatemala. It is selfexplanatory. Naturally I would highly appreciate any action you, Mr. Secretary-General, may take with a view to supporting the ideas underlying my letter to the Chairman and thus helping improve the situation in Guatemala as that situation is prone to deteriorate further. Accept, dear Mr. Secretary-General, the assurances of my highest consideration. TT "Cl Dr.*Kurt WALDHEIM Secretary-General of the United Nations New York AKU/MS bf: RA/AR/MKP/GMI-1/CCP/AF/MJS cc: File-E xRef:Austria 17 July 1900 Bear Mr. Minister, Upon joy return from an official trip abroad, I received year letter of 20 June concerning human rights violations in Guatemala. I have read the enclosed copy of your letter to the Chairman of the Coauaissicn on Eumaa Sights with great interest. You are undoubtedly aware that human rights violations have always been of particular concern to me and I wish to assure you that the situation in Guatemala is under continuing review. Following consideration by the Commission on Human Rights at its recent session, a note was sent in say name on 13 June to the Permanent Representative of Guatemala to the United Rations for the purpose of establishing direct contact with his Governsasnt regarding this question. It is my earnest hope that this course of action will have the desired results and contribute to the measures ensuring full respect for the human rights and ^fundamental freedoms of the people of Guatemala. Jkccept, Mr. Minister, the assurances of my highest consideration. Kurt Waldheim His Excellency Dr. Willibald Pahr Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Austria Vienna Vienna, 20 June 1980 <r N:o. 2220.02/1177-1. 2.a/80 Dear Mr. President, I would like to raise with you an issue which is a matter of serious concern to me and also to many of my countrymen, i.e, the current human rights situation in Guatemala. We have received reports of numerous acts of violence committed at random against innocent people in Guatemala. It seems that the population of that country is currently the victim of an indiscriminate wave of terrorist acts, abductions, murder and torture. The Government, however, of whom one would expect a firm reaction in the face of such a situation, has apparently failed so far to take appropriate measures to prevent those acts. It has failed to protect innocent people and to ensure to its own population the enjoyment of those fundamental rights to which everyone is entitled. In fact, the reports mentioned as well as indications which I personally received during my recent travel in Central America lead me to believe that the situation can only be remedied through some sort of international action. Indeed if everyone remained silent while acts such as those referred to continue, the situation in Guatemala might further deteriorate with serious consequences for the human relations among the population of that country. If there is a vicious circle someone ought to break it. IT -ri Dr/Waleed M. SADI, Ambassador, President of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (36th session) Ministry of Foreign Affairs Amman - 2 - I am therefore appealing to you, Mr. President, in your capacity as President of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights to exercise your influence, in what manner you see fit, with a view to inducing the authorities of Guatemala to do their best in order to curb the violence rampant in their country. I am, of course, aware that any action you may take will necessarily be of a limited nature, but I believe that the prestige of your high office and your own personal reputation will lend particular weight to any appeal you may wish to address to the Government of Guatemala. The situation in Guatemala has already been discussed by the Commission on Human Rights at its 36th session. At that time speakers have repeatedly stressed the importance of bringing to an end the present climate of insecurity and violence in that country and of replacing it by a climate in which the human rights of the people are respected. I felt it my duty, Mr. President, to draw your attention to the situation described above hoping that you will find ways and means to help the people of Guatemala in their present distress. Accept, Mr. President, the assurances of my highest consideration. OSTERREICHISCHE PRASIDEN 3ENWAHLEN Kirchschlager 80 % Gredler 17 % Dritter Kand. 3,2 % M 19 May 1980 A.Rohan ' EOSG/N.Y.

Y. 10017 Telephone (212) 949-1840 PLEASE CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY ADDRESS by the Federal Chancellor of Austria Bruno KREISKY to the General Assembly of the United Nations on October 29, 1979 Mr. President, It gives m-e great pleasure to address this General Assembly which meets under the distinguished leadership of President Salim Ahmed Salim. I would like to take this opportunity to convey, through you Mr. President, ray greetings and the expression of my highest esteem to President Nyerere, one of the most eminent statesman of Africa. It has been five years since I last spoke before the General Assembly of the United Nations, The problems I brought up then are still the problems which are on our agenda today. Among the issues I dealt with were the oil problem, the situation in the Middle East, and the relations between the industrialized countries and the developing nations. At that occasion I expressed the opinion that the intricate problem of bringing peace to the Middle East cannot be solved without taking into account the legitimate asperations of the Palestinian people. I asked you to consider the Middle East problem as intimately linked with the overall world-wide process of detente. There have been significant developments in world affairs during this five year period. Permit me to refer to some of them: On 1 August, 1975, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe has been concluded in Helsinki. Thoroughly prepared, the Conference confirmed and was the culmination of detente which I believe had started with the conclusion of the Austrian State Treaty 25 years ago. This process has not been without setbacks. — 2 — There have been deadlocks and crises. There were periods of pessimism and optimism. Finally it xnras possible to bring about the conference in Helsinki and the Final Act xiras signed by the representatives of 35 nations. Although the provisions of the Helsinki Act do not have the force of a treaty, they nevertheless include a broad range of declarations of intent, concessions and norms of conduct, and the very fact of their formulation in the Act gives them an important role in our international relations. Even though not all of the Act's provisions are being complied with to the letter, the document does provide signatory states with legal authorization, so to speak, to seek recourse to the Helsinki Act without having to fear accusations of intervention in the domestic affairs of another state. A second reason for the importance of the Helsinki Act is, in our viextf, the fact that it has established human rights as an international political issue. Finally, we also consider the Helsinki Act to be the essential beginning of a dynamic process, a process which is necessary to develop detente and normalization between people in the West and the East of Europe. However, this dynamic process will only take place if economic cooperation between ihoS'^-'.-.cs in Eastern and Western Europe will continue, and if new, constructive forms of cooperation are found which go beyond the limits of a mere exchange of commodities and financial transactions.

  • From the History of Polish-Austrian Diplomacy in the 1970S
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 AGNIESZKA KISZTELIŃSKA-WĘGRZYŃSKA Łódź FROM THE HISTORY OF POLISH-AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY IN THE 1970S. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR BRUNO KREISKY’S VISITS TO POLAND Polish-Austrian relations after World War II developed in an atmosphere of mutu- al interest and restrained political support. During the Cold War, the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Austria were on the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain; however, after 1945 both countries sought mutual recognition and trade cooperation. For more than 10 years following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and Poland, there had been no meetings at the highest level.1 The first con- tact took place when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Kreisky, came on a visit to Warsaw on 1-3 March 1960.2 Later on, Kreisky visited Poland four times as Chancellor of Austria: in June 1973, in late January/early February 1975, in Sep- tember 1976, and in November 1979. While discussing the significance of those five visits, it is worth reflecting on the role of Austria in the diplomatic activity of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The views on the motives of the Austrian politician’s actions and on Austria’s foreign policy towards Poland come from the MFA archives from 1972-1980. The time period covered in this study matches the schedule of the Chancellor’s visits. The activity of the Polish diplomacy in the Communist period (1945-1989) has been addressed as a research topic in several publications on Polish history. How- ever, as Andrzej Paczkowski says in the sixth volume of Historia dyplomacji polskiej (A history of Polish diplomacy), research on this topic is still in its infancy.3 A wide range of source materials that need to be thoroughly reviewed offer a number of 1 Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polski, Informator, vol.

  • Statement of the Director General to the 21St Session of the General Conference of the IAEA
    Statement of the Director General to the 21st Session of the General Conference of the IAEA INTRODUCTORY REMARKS May I first express our warmest thanks to President Kirchschlager for his kindness in joining us today to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the International Atomic Energy Agency and for his thoughtful statement. His interest in and support for the Agency is evidenced by the fact that this is the second time this year that he has assisted in opening one of our meetings, the previous occasion being the Salzburg Conference in May. I would also like to convey through him to the Government and people of Austria and to the City of Vienna our sincere appreciation for the twenty years of generous and unfailing hospitality and understanding that the Agency has enjoyed in the city and in this country. I would like to thank the President of the National Council, Mr. Anton Benya, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Willibald Pahr, for honouring this conference with their presence. The founders of the Agency showed wisdom not only in the far-sighted provisions of the Agency's Statute but also in the selection of Vienna as the permanent headquarters of the Agency, a choice which has encouraged other United Nations organizations to come here, such as our sister organization UN I DO, and which I hope will be followed by many more. I should like to extend a special welcome to our guests of honour, each of whom has played a significant role in the history of the Agency. These include: Ambassador G.P.

  • Fall 04 9-16.Idd
    CENTER FOR AUSTRIAN STUDIES AUSTRIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER Vol. 16, No. 2 Fall 2004 Thomas Klestil at home and abroad by Anton Pelinka Thomas Klestil (1932-2004), the seventh federal president of Austria since 1945, died less than two days before his tenure as head of state would have ended. Klestil’s life and career reflect the success story of the Second Republic, but also some critical aspects of Austria. In America, where he spent many years as a diplomat, he did much to promote a positive Austrian image. As president, he tempered that judiciously with post-Waldheim honesty and won many friends for Austria in Central Europe. However, within his own country, he was a controversial man who was sometimes at odds with his party and lacked the necessary power to change policy. Klestil was the product of an atypical social and political environment: His family was strictly Catholic, but his father worked for the Vienna public transportation authority. As a streetcar conductor, his father was part of an overwhelmingly socialist milieu. But his Catholic background made him and his family a minority—a Catholic conservative exception, living in a typical blue-collar part of Vienna (Erdberg); a member of the Catholic conservative camp surrounded by members of the socialist camp. Thomas Klestil’s career was influenced by these roots. During his studies at the University of Economics in Vienna, he joined a Catholic fraternity—the “Cartell-Verband” (CV), which has always been strongly identified with the Christian Social Party, with the Dollfuß Regime and, beginning in 1945, with the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP).

Benennungen nach Prominenten im öffentlichen Raum Claudia Kuretsidis-Haider Einleitung Der Charakter von Benennungen im öffentlichen Raum Unter „öffentlichem Raum“ wird eine topografische Örtlichkeit verstanden, in dem sich so- ziales, kulturelles und politisches Leben abspielt.1 Erinnerungszeichen (denen die vorliegende Publikation überwiegend gewidmet ist), aber auch Benennungen von Straßen und Plätzen oder öffentlichen Gebäuden sind Würdi- gungen im öffentlichen Raum, die Geschichte(n), etwa von historischen Ereignissen oder bedeutenden Persönlichkeiten, erzählen und oftmals einen ersten Zugang zur Vergangenheit eines Ortes darstellen. Straßennamen sind vielfach „sogar die ersten Objekte des Wandels in Zeiten von Um- brüchen, noch bevor sich überhaupt die Zahnräder von Politik und Verwaltung in diesen Prozess einschalten“.2 Zwar dienen sie in erster Linie der Orientierung im Straßennetz, sie geben aber auch die politischen Umstände ihrer Entstehungszeit wieder und können, ähn- lich einem Denkmal, als Erinnerungsorte wirken. Neben Erinnerungszeichen sind es Plätze und Straßennamen, die sich vielfach zu einem aufeinander abgestimmten Zeichensystem kollektiver Selbstverständigung und Selbstvergewisserung zusammenfügen. Straßennamen spiegeln u. a. Herrschaftsverhältnisse und dominierende Geschichtsbilder wider. So wurden beispielsweise zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus viele Straßen nach NS-Persönlichkeiten be- nannt bzw. umbenannt, wie die zahllosen Adolf-Hitler-Straßen bezeugen können. Das Rote Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit manifestierte sich auch durch den Friedrich-Engels-Platz oder den Karl-Marx-Hof.
