| State Treaty, Austrian, governing the
re-establishment of an independent and democratic Austria, concluded
between the allied powers USSR, Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
USA and France on the one hand and Austria on the other, signed by
the foreign ministers of the signatory states, V. M. Molotov, J. F.
Dulles, H. Macmillan and A. Pinay and the Austrian Foreign Minister
L. Figl in the Belvedere in Vienna on May 15, 1955. The Austrian
State Treaty, which was concluded in the 354th session of the
delegations of the allied powers, became effective on July 27, 1955,
twelve years after the Moscow Declaration of October 30, 1943, in
which Great Britain, the USSR and the USA sought to liberate Austria
from German rule, since Austria was considered the first victim of
Hitler´s policy of aggression. |

| Closely linked with the State Treaty is the Federal Constitutional
Law governing Austrian Neutrality, designed after the Swiss model,
which was enacted by the Austrian Parliament on October 26, 1955,
when the occupying forces had withdrawn from Austria. When the
Soviet Union had stopped insisting on linking the German question
with Austria, all points at issue between the Soviet Union and
Austria were settled in the Moscow Memorandum of April 15, 1955,
allowing the Treaty to be concluded. |

The State Treaty consists of a preamble and nine parts:
1) political
and territorial provisions,
2) military and aviation provisions,
3) withdrawal of the allied armed forces,
4) claims resulting from the
war,
5) property, rights and interests,
6) general economic
relations,
7) settlement of disputes,
8) various economic provisions,
9) final clause.
The most important political provisions refer to the
re-establishment of Austria as a free and independent state, the
preservation of Austria´s independence and its territorial integrity
by the allies and the recognition of Austria´s independence by
Germany. Furthermore the political provisions comprise the
prohibition of political or economic union of Austria and Germany (prohibition
of annexation), the recognition of Human Rights and the rights of
Slovene and Croat minorities. Along with the commitment to the
protection of democratic institutions, the Treaty enjoins Austria to
dissolve Nazi and Fascist organisations and prevent the resurgence
of National Socialist agitation. |
