Helsinki Accords
A 1975 international agreement that dramatically reduced tensions between the United States and allies and Soviet bloc nations. The Accords effectively recognized Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe in exchange for assurances that the Soviet Union would improve its human rights record. Canada, the United States and all European countries except Andorra and Albania signed the Helsinki Accords. It was seen as a first step toward improved Soviet-Western relations.

The principle of nation-state sovereignty has been the foremost stabilizing principle in the world for three and a half centuries, ever since 1648, and was solemnly reiterated by the Helsinki Conference of 1975.
Part VIII of the Final Act of the 1975 Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe also emphasized the primacy of territorial integrity over self-dete rmination.
Sooner or later, and as a result in part of the corrosive impact of the Helsinki Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) on Soviet thinking, some gesture might well be made to the West, and especially to Germany, perhaps in military terms, but also, and more important, in a humanitarian context: measures to ease some of the restrictions on inter-German travel and family reunification, perhaps, or something similar.
