BELGRADE CONFERENCE ON SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE, 1977 Whereas the 1977 conference in Belgrade of the 35 states participating in the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe presents all the signatory states of the 1975 Helsinki accords with an unprecedented opportunity to improve East-West relations and to broaden the area of their cooperation; and Whereas progress towards such improvement and cooperation within the framework of the Helsinki accords cannot develop without a thorough and candid exchange of views of the two-year record of implementation of those accords; and Whereas such a review requires that specific practices of the participating states and their impact on specific individuals be constructively analyzed and discussed even when that discussion touches such matters of serious East-West contention as the application of the Final Act pledge to "respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief"; and Whereas representatives of the participating states will meet in Belgrade, beginning June 15, 1977, to "decide on the date, duration, agenda, and other modalities" of the substantive review meeting to be held in 1977: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives {the Senate concurring)^ That it is the sense of the Congress of the United States that the United States delegation to the preparatory Belgrade meeting should make every effort to insure that the agenda adopted for the subsequent meeting provides for proper, straightforward and serious exchange of views among the participating states on the application of the principles of the Final Act as well as on compliance and noncompliance with all of its provisions, including the presentation and thorough discussion of all violations of the Final Act, especially those related to universal humanitarian ideals. Passed June 15, 1977.
