Warsaw Pact

Examples of Warsaw Pact in the following topics:

• Détente and Human Rights

  • The Political Consultative Committee of the Warsaw Pact sent an offer to the West, urging to hold a summit on "security and cooperation in Europe".
  • The SALT II pact of the late 1970s built on the work of the SALT I talks, ensuring further reduction in arms by the Soviets and by the US .

• Isolationism

  • In August 1928, 15 nations signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, brainchild of American Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristride Briand.
  • This pact that was said to have outlawed war and showed the United States commitment to international peace had its semantic flaws.
  • For example, it did not hold the United States to the conditions of any existing treaties, it still allowed European nations the right to self-defense, and stated that if one nation broke the pact, it would be up to the other signatories to enforce it.
  • The Kellogg-Briand Pact was more of a sign of good intentions on the part of the United States, rather than a legitimate step towards the sustenance of world peace.

• The Cold War and Containment

  • The word containment is associated most strongly with the policies of United States President Harry Truman (1945–53), including the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a mutual defense pact.

• The Goals of Economic Policy

  • Examples of rule-based policies are fixed exchange rates, interest rate rules, the stability and growth pact and the Golden Rule.
