A/9587 s /1=39 English Annex Page 1 ANNEX Declaration on the consol:Ldation of friendship and deepening of co-operation between the German .Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba I (Excerpts) Discussing the present international situation both sides fully agreed in their assessment of the basic questions dealt with. The power of world socialism, the unity and solidarity of the countries of the community of socialist States which are united by indestructible ties of fraternity are the main revolutionary force of our epoch, and exert a decisive influence on social developments in the world. The peoples' struggle against imperialism, colonialism and neo-colonialism achieved impressive victories. At the same time the struggle of the working class in the capitalist countries is receiving fresh impetus due to the unprecedented aggravation of political and economic contradictions in these countries. As a result of this marked progress in favour of the forces of socialism, national liberation and social progress a positive change has taken place in international relations towards the further implementation of the principles of peaceful coexistence and a relaxation of tensions. Thanks to the co-ordinated actions of the forces of peace, democracy and socialism, it was possible to achieve significant successes. The German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba consider it an important and topical task of all socialist countries, of all revolutionary forces in the world to make the results of socialist peace policy, especially of the peace programme adopted at the =Vth Congress of the CPSU, irreversible and to spread the process of d&ente to all regions and countries, independent of their size and power. The basic prerequisite for achieving this goal consists in curbing the most aggressive forces of imperialism even more. This requires the strengthening of world socialism and the unanimous action of all revolutionary and peace forces as well as increased vigilance on the part of the peoples with regard to any provocations and threats of war. The German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba consider the great military, political and diplomatic victory of the Viet-Namese people in its struggle against United States aggression, and the signing of the Agreem@nt on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet-Nam as a historical victory of the heroic Viet-Wamese people and of the solidarity of the socialist countries and of all revolutionary and progressive forces in the world. Both States corroborate their 'intention to continue to give all-round support to the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam and the Republic of South Viet-Nam in the implementation of the agreements concluded and in the reconstruction of the country. / l . A/9557 S/11239 English Annex Page 2 They support the policy pursued by the Democratic Republic of Vi&-Nam which is aimed at the strict observance of the agreements concluded and at the construction of socialism in the Democratic Republic of Vi&-Naii?. They support the policy pursued by the PrQvisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Viet-Nam, which is serving peace, independence, democracy and neutrality, and condemn the systematic violation of the Paris Viet-Nsm Agreement by the Saigon administration and the United States. The German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba declare tZleir solidarity with the struggle of the Cambodian people against the Lon No1 clique, and hail the successes achieved by the Cambodian people under the leadership of the National United Front of Cambodia. They are firmly convinced that the day of victory of the Cambodian people is near. They demand the strict implementation of the Agreement on Restoring Peace and Realizing National Concord in Laos. In Europe conditions have developed which are favourable for normalizing the political climate on this continent and for developing an advantageous co-operation between all European States. The Republic of Cuba and the German Democratic Republic agree in their opinion that this situation is primarily the result of the joint efforts of the community of socialist States and of the conclusion of the treaties of I~OSCOW, Warsaw, Berlin and Prague. They appreciate the Treaty on the Bases of Relations between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany as an important contribution toward the consolidation of peace in Europe and the implementation of the principles of peaceful coexistence in the relations between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. The German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba hold the view that the strict observance of this Treaty in its spirit and letter is indispensable and the only possible prerequisite for the development of good neighbourly relations between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. Desirous to contribute to d6tente and the normalization of relations, the German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Cuba are guided by the provisions of the Quadripartite-Agreement on West Berlin which clearly state that West Berlin is not a constituent part of the Federal::Republic of Germany and must not be governed by the Federal Republic of Germany. The strict observance of the Quadripartite Agreement on West Berlin and of the relevant agreements and arrangements concluded between the German Democratic Republic on the one hand and the Federal Republic of Germany and the West Berlin Senate on the other are the pledge for the mutual understanding of all parties interested in the matters regarding West Berlin, and the basis for the solution of all practical questions connected with West Berlin. Both sides welcome the signing of the treaty between the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, which recognizes the invalidity of the ?4unich Agreement. They note with satisfaction that diplomatic relations have been established between the Federal Republic of Germany on the / . A/? 587 s/11239 English Annex Page 3 one hand and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Hungarian People's Republic and the People's Republic of Bulgaria on the other. Both States advocate an early and successful conclusion of the,Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe. They consider the successful 6onclusion of this Conference.% a contribution of basic significance to peace all over the world. Tine. Cuban side hails the constructive contribution made by the German Democratic Republic towards dktente and the co-operation between the European States. The German Democratic Republic and the Reisublic of Cuba condemn the i&peri@st policy of aggression practised by Israel against the Arab States. They declare . their determination to strengthen their solidarity and co-operation with the Arab peoples and the people of Palestine. They advocate a political solution of this conflict, and express their hope that the positive steps already taken, including the Peace Conference in Geneva, will show results which meet the just demands of the Arab peoples. They hold the view that the safeguarding of a lasting peace in that part of the world presupposes the complete withdrawal of the Israeli aggressive troops from all Arab territories occupied in 1967, and the guarantee for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Both sides support in solidarity the proposals of the Democratic Peoplees Republic of Korea regardin 7 the Mthdrawal of the foreign troops and the reunification of the country without foreign interference. Both sides hold that the triumph of,the Cuban revolution has given great impetus to the revolutionary movement in Latin America, to the struggle of these peoples against imperialism, for national independence and social.progress. They condemn the brutal oppression of the peoples of Latin America by imperialism, and express their conviction that the struggle of these peoples will lead to true independence, regardless of temporary setbacks. They condemn the fascist putsch in Chile, the assassination of the legitimate President Salvador Allende, and the overthrow of the Unidad Popular Government. This military-fascist coup is the work of the internal and external counter-revolution, and manifests the moral, political and ideological crisis of imperialism. Both sides express their complete and all-round solidarity with the Chilean people, with all.patriotic and democratic forces co;operating in Chilevs left-wing parties, which are:fighting for the creation of the broadest possible united front against the fascist'junta in Chile. They demand to halt the bloody terror and persecution., and to release immediately the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Chile, comrade Luis Corval&, and all other imprisoned patriots.

  • The German Peace Treaty and Africa by PETER FLORIN
    West Germany threatens world peace. Tire conclusion of a C:erman peace treaty, designed to eliminate this. danger. has become tire issue of an important stage in the struggle for peace. now reaching its climax. Tlris issue. and its significance for Africa, is discussed in the following article, specially writ­ ten for The African Communist. The author is a member of the Central Committee of the Socialist Unity Party in the German Democratic Republic. The German Peace Treaty and Africa By PETER FLORIN The Potsdam Agreement" concluded in 1945 was aimed at replac­ ing the belligerent fascist terror regime by a democratic system which was to cover tbe whole of Germany. However, backed by the Western Powers, the same imperialists and militarists who had plunged the peoples of the world into the second World War have been able to restore their old power in West Germany. Seventeen monopoly groups. including Krupp, Flick, AEG, Siemens and IG·Farben, hold more than 80.3 per cent of the total share capital, thus controlling the West German economy. The West German state is heoded by a government, twelve 0{ whose members, out of a total 0/ eighteen, used to be jaithful servants of Hitler. The West German Federal Army is commanded by 160 ex-Hitlerite generals, including such notorious and convicted war criminals as Foertsch and Herzog. • For the German imperialist and militarist plans to conquer the world the nations had to pay with the blood of 52 million dead and an estimated cost of £450,000 million. Are they to pay with even far greater sacrifices for the new West German plans to conquer the world in a third World War-an atom war? Or would it not be much better to tame revived West German militarism by concluding a German peace treaty? Some African politicians think that the struggle against West German imperialism and militarism is an internal affair of the German people-a "family feud" so to say-and that Africa is many miles away from Germany.

  • The Fédération Internationale Des Résistants (FIR) Its Activities During the Breakdown of the Soviet Bloc1
    S: I. M. O. N. SHOAH: I NTERVENTION. M ETHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Maximilian Becker The Fédération Internationale des Résistants (FIR) Its activities during the Breakdown of the Soviet Bloc1 Abstract This paper offers an analysis of the activities of the communist-dominated Fédération Inter- nationale des Résistants (International Federation of Resistance Movements, FIR), the inter- national umbrella organisation of associations of victims of Nazi persecution from both Eastern and Western Europe between the late 1980s and early 1990s. During this time, the collapse of the Soviet Bloc led to a deep crisis for the Eastern European organisations like the Polish Związek Bojowników o Wolność i Demokrację (Union of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy) representing the former anti-fascist resistance fighters and political prisoners of Nazi concentration camps, which had been part of the communist power apparatus, and therefore of FIR. The organisation, which had been mired in growing financial difficulties for at least two decades, then lost much of its influence and of its potential to spread its mes- sage among the public. Nevertheless, FIR tried to maintain its activities with a special focus on dealing with right-wing extremism, the preservation of the rights and pensions of former resistance fighters, a commitment to peace and disarmament, as well as to the politics of memory. In June 1991, the Fédération Internationale des Résistants (International Federa- tion of Resistance Movements, hereafter FIR) held its Eleventh Ordinary Congress Moscow.

  • The GDR in the Context of Stalinist Show Trials and Anti-Semitism In
    The GDR in the Context of Stalinist Show Trials and Anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe 1948-54 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/gh/article-abstract/10/3/302/685594 by ESIEE Paris user on 05 May 2019 Paul O’Doherty (University of Nottingham) Introduction In the period 1948-54 a large number of show trials were staged in the East European countries which were under Soviet domination. The German Democratic Republic did not escape this wave of trials, though they were staged on a much smaller scale there than elsewhere. Historians writing on the show trials do not seem agreed on whether the GDR should be included in ‘Eastern Europe’. Lendvai, in 1971, for example, merely comments that ‘in a more distant past’ East Germany had also had ‘anti-Semitism as an official policy, as a witch hunt’, and then goes on to deal with all the countries where ‘Zionism’ was a charge made against any defendants, but leaves out the GDR.’ Hodos, on the other hand, who outlines the trials without concentrating specifically on their anti-Semitic aspects, looks at all seven countries allied to the Soviet Union, including the GDR.’ It is no coincidence that a study which concentrates on the anti-Semitic aspects of the trials should leave out the GDR, despite Lendvai’s claim about the ‘more distant past’. Whilst there was a high proportion of defendants of Jewish origin in many of the trials staged, especially in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, this was true of only a small number of cases in the GDR.
