Description

This study focuses on the third CSCE follow-up meeting that took place in Vienna from November 1986 to January 1989 against the background of dynamic developments in Easten Europe. The meeting reflected the disintegration of the Eastern bloc and reinforced the tendencies toward systemic change. Among its most remarkable results are human rights agreements - much more detailed and concrete than previous CSCE documents - that signaled an end to the traditional divisions between East and West in their human rights philosophy. The decision was made to initiate new negotiations on conventional arms control (CFE) that opened the prospects for drastic cuts in the level of military forces and armaments stationed in Europe.
