	Austria - THE GRAND COALITION AND THE AUSTRIAN PEOPLE'S PARTY CODA, 1955-70
		The status of the ethnically German province of South Tirol had been an Austrian concern ever since the province's transfer to Italy after World War I. Austria hoped that Italy's participation on the losing side of World War II might open the door to the Allied powers awarding the disputed territory to Austria.
		In 1948, however, Italy undercut the autonomy of the South Tiroleans by expanding the autonomous region to include the entire province of Trentino, the total population of which was two-thirds ethnically Italian.
		In the intervening years, South Tirolean activists undertook a terrorist bombing campaign, which, Italy alleged, Austria facilitated through lax border controls.

		Südtirol, or as the Italians call it, Alto Adige (part of the province Trentino-Alto Adige), is the southern part of Austrian Tirol that was given to Italy as a reward for joining in on the Allied side in WWI.
		A nice vacation spot, it is basically a soccer wasteland, since the Südtirolers are too busy complaining on how they're being oppressed by Italy, and the Italian "immigrants" are too busy being government officials oppressing the local Südtirolers.
		In 2004, they were playing in the Serie D. The strongest south Tirolean club is based in BRIXEN (Bressanone), and currently competes in the Serie C2, FC Südtirol-Alto Adige.

		They refer to 33 decisions of the Italian Constitutional Court since 1983, concerning actions brought by the South Tirol Provincial Assembly which upheld the powers of direction and control of the Italian Government over matters previously held to be within the competence of the Province.
		Thus, the Committee is not required to decide whether the ethno-German population living in South Tirol constitute "peoples" within the meaning of article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
