Hoyer, Cochairman presiding. In attendance from the Commission: Representatives Bill Rich- ardson, Christopher H. Smith, John Edward Porter, Frank R. Wolf and from the State Department Richard Schifter; also participat- ing: Representatives Benjamin L. Cardin and Jan Meyers. OPENING STATEMENT OF COCHAIRMAN HOYER Cochairman HOYER. I'd like to call this hearing to order. I'd like to make a brief opening statement for myself and then recognize Ms. Meyers and Secretary Schifter for such statements as they may want to make. On June 23, the 35 States participating in the Conference on Se- curity and Cooperation in Europe completed the first of three 4- week meetings of the Conference on the Human Dimension. The meeting, which was mandated by the Vienna Concluding Docu- ment, examined a wide range of human rights and humanitarian issues within the context of the Helsinki process. The head of the U.S. delegation to that conference, a very distin- guished American, Ambassador Morris Abram, was instrumental in pursuing the U.S. objective of seeking greater implementation of the human rights and human contacts provisions of the Helsinki Accords. He was a skilled negotiator and orator who won the re- spect of the representatives of the 35 nations. I would like to com- mend publicly the outstanding work of Ambassador Abram and the public delegates, some of whom are with us today. The Public members provided a great deal of substantive infor- mation on compliance with CSCE human rights commitments. Their presence in Paris was extremely helpful in not only setting the tone for future meetings, but also in demonstrating the benefits of having private individuals, all experts in the field of human rights, as members of the delegation. I, along with my House colleagues, Dennis Eckart and Ben Cardin, was able to travel to Paris during the meeting and had the opportunity during the plenary session to introduce a U.S. proposal (1) 2 calling for free elections and the establishment of multiple political parties within all the signatory countries. This proposal represents a long-term Western goal for democracy in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, government based on the will of the people. As we have seen during the past year and indeed during the past week, the citizens of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe long to exer- cise their right to determine their own future, a right which has so long been denied them. The Paris meeting achieved, in my opinion, a number of very positive results. It provided a thorough review of the implementa- tion of commitments undertaken by the participating States when they adopted the Vienna Concluding Document in January of this year. During the Paris review, progress and implementation was acknowledged, as it should have been. However, continued Soviet and East European violations of the rights of national minorities and religious believers and restrictions on the rights of free assem- bly, association, expression, as well as noncompliance with human contacts provisions were also given considerable attention. I believe that the Paris meeting did advance the Helsinki Com- mission's goals of fostering greater respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. While the meeting was useful, its success ultimately depends on the extent to which it will lead to improved compliance with CSCE provisions. In this regard, I, and I know others, look forward to the testimo- ny of Ambassador Abram and our public member witnesses to hear of their Paris CDH experiences and their estimates of what the future holds for the upcoming meetings in Copenhagen and Moscow. Finally, I would like to add that July 19 marks the 6-month anni- versary of the signing of the Vienna Concluding Document. One of the key commitments made by the Signatory States at the end of that meeting was the resolution of all outstanding human contacts cases within 6 months. To the Soviet Union and others with out- standing cases, I must say the clock is ticking, time is running out, and our expectations of compliance with Vienna remain very much intact and we are hopeful that these cases will be resolved. Before turning to the other members, I'd like to introduce the head of our delegation, Rudy Perina, who was absolutely outstand- ing. We want to thank him for his efforts and for his cooperative work with the Commission staffers who were there with him and Ambassador Abram. Congresswoman Meyers? Representative MEYERS. No opening statement, Mr. Chairman. I look forward to the testimony of Ambassador Abram. Cochairman HOYER. Congressman Cardin? I might say that although Congresswoman Meyers and Congress- man Cardin are not members themselves of the Commission, they are very strong supporters and participants in the Helsinki process. Both have traveled with the Commission to Eastern Europe in their roles as advocates of the agenda of the Helsinki Final Act. I very much appreciate their attendance at this hearing as well. I d like to also recognize Secretary Schifter, a member of the Commission, the Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Concerns. 3 Mr. Secretary? Secretary SCHIFTrER. I would offer the same comment as Con- gresswoman Meyers. Cochairman HOYER. Thank you. At this time I'd like to recognize Ambassador Abram for his opening statement. TESTIMONY OF AMBASSADOR MORRIS B. ABRAM, HEAD

Editorial Note Throughout July 1975, President Ford and Secretary of State Kiss- inger discussed preparations for the President’s trip to Helsinki for the final stage of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which would include meetings with individual European leaders in Helsinki and stops in Europe before and after the conference. During their conversations, the issue arose of whether Ford should meet with Soviet dissident writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, whom the Soviets had permitted to emigrate to the United States, before the Helsinki conference. Kissinger wrote in his memoirs: “Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Soviet Union on February 13, 1974, and came to the United States some months later. The AFL–CIO, under the leader- ship of its strongly anti-Communist president, George Meany, invited him to address a dinner in Washington on June 30, 1975, not long be- fore Ford’s departure to sign the Final Act of the European Security Conference. The date had been carefully chosen; if Solzhenitsyn ex- pressed anything like his well-known views, he would supply plenty of material for the opponents of CSCE. Solzhenitsyn did not disappoint his sponsors. [. .] Solzhenitsyn urged the United States to lead a cru- sade against Communism even inside the Soviet Union and disdained the argument that such a course represented interference in Soviet do- mestic affairs: ‘Interfere more and more,’ Solzhenitsyn implored. ‘In- terfere as much as you can. We beg you to come and interfere.’ [.

  • Human Rights Diplomacy
    History 282 US Diplomatic Discussion Transcript for November 10, 2020 Human Rights Diplomacy Main Reading: Chapter 18 Herring The 1970s were a difficult time for the US in the world, but it was still a period of occasional triumph and flashes of vision for the post-Cold War world. Yet the fundamental challenge for partisan officials was to navigate the issue of human rights and US interests. This was a particular challenge for both Presidents Ford and Carter, though in much different ways. Here is a selection of student comments: HELSINKI ACCORDS (1975) STUDENT COMMENT: “In July 1975, President Gerald Ford traveled to Helinski for a three day summit with thirty-five nations including the Soviet Union (USSR). Establishing three sets of agreements during the summit, the USSR and Western European nations were pleased with the outcome, while the agreements provoked the opposite response in the United States. People saw it as another “Yalta-like ‘betrayal of Eastern Europe’” (827) according to Herring, and the humanitarian agreements were also critiqued for the lack of enforceability of the promised “freer flow of information, ideas, and people through travel, better access to media information, and reunification of families separated by the Cold War.” Herring describes the critiques of Helinski as “politically charged,” making the short-term predictions of the effects of Helinski contradictory to the long-term effects. Herring says that, rather than appeasing the USSR and allowing for control over the rest of Eastern Europe, the agreements “helped to undermine it and indeed eventually to bring about the fall of the USSR” (827).

  • NATO and the European Union
    Order Code RL32342 NATO and the European Union Updated January 29, 2008 Kristin Archick Specialist in European Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Paul Gallis Specialist in European Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division NATO and the European Union Summary Since the end of the Cold War, both NATO and the European Union (EU) have evolved along with Europe’s changed strategic landscape. While NATO’s collective defense guarantee remains at the core of the alliance, members have also sought to redefine its mission as new security challenges have emerged on Europe’s periphery and beyond. At the same time, EU members have taken steps toward political integration with decisions to develop a common foreign policy and a defense arm to improve EU member states’ abilities to manage security crises, such as those that engulfed the Balkans in the 1990s. The evolution of NATO and the EU, however, has generated some friction between the United States and several of its allies over the security responsibilities of the two organizations. U.S.-European differences center around threat assessment, defense institutions, and military capabilities. Successive U.S. administrations and the U.S. Congress have called for enhanced European defense capabilities to enable the allies to better share the security burden, and to ensure that NATO’s post-Cold War mission embraces combating terrorism and countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. U.S. policymakers, backed by Congress, support EU efforts to develop a European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) provided that it remains tied to NATO and does not threaten the transatlantic relationship.

  • The CSCE up to the End of the Cold War: What It Achieved and Where It Failed
    In: IFSH (ed.), OSCE Yearbook 2015, Baden-Baden 2016, pp. 35-53. Reinhard Mutz The CSCE up to the End of the Cold War: What It Achieved and Where It Failed The defining feature of post-War Europe was its division into two political- ideological camps. Each bloc contained exclusive subsystems: The European Community in the West, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) in the East; NATO here, and the Warsaw Treaty Organization there. They provided their members with a framework for mutual support and collective development in competition with the rival system of powers. They not only derived from the political division of Europe but were its most evi- dent manifestation. They also contributed to the hardening of this division. With the end of the confrontation between blocs, the Eastern organizations disappeared without a trace. Their Western counterparts continue to exist, and though their goals have changed, they remain as exclusive as ever. Among forums for international co-operation, the Conference on Secur- ity and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) had a special place. It also owed its existence to the Cold War, and in many of its aspects and for much of the time, it was a specific form of the conflict’s manifestation. However, the fact that it sought not to separate the two sides in the conflict but to bring them together distinguishes it fundamentally from the supranational institutions born of the Cold War. The CSCE was always a pan-European arrangement that was open to every country that wished to participate in it. After 1989, the CSCE seemed the institution most likely to provide a framework for political continuity to the new Europe, which was striving for closer ties and greater cohesion.
