Topic: Treaty of Vienna


  
  Congress of Vienna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congress of Vienna was a conference between ambassadors from the major powers in Europe that was chaired by the Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel von Metternich and held in Vienna, Austria, from September 1, 1814, to June 9, 1815.
The Congress of Vienna was frequently criticized by 19th century and more recent historians for ignoring national and liberal impulses, and for imposing a stifling reaction on the continent.
The Congress of Vienna was an integral part in what became known as the Conservative Order in which peace and stability were traded for the liberties and civil rights associated with the French and American Revolutions.

 Treaty - InfoSearchPoint.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Treaties can be called by many names: treaties, international agreements, protocols, covenants, conventions, exchanges of letters, exchanges of notes, etc.; however all of these are equally treaties, and the rules are the same regardless of what the treaty is called.
Treaties can be loosely compared to contracts: both are means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held legally liable for that breach.
The 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is the authoritative treaty on the international law of treaties, establishing the procedures by which treaties are adopted, interpreted, and invalidated.

 Vienna : In Depth : History | Frommers.com
Vienna's history has been heavily influenced by its position astride the Danube, midway between the trade routes linking the prosperous ports of northern Germany with Italy.

 "Two Treaties", essay by Tyler Jones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The Treaty of Vienna was the treaty that ended the Napoleonic Wars and punished France.
By the time the treaty was given to and imposed on France, a barrier of strong states had been either pointed out or created outright (as in the case of the Netherlands) along France's borders.
Other than that, the Treaty of Vienna was not truly excessive or even haughty in it's aims, and France redily accepted it's terms - which included a debt to be paid to the victors and minor military controls.

The province, along with its neighbor to the south, the Duchy of Holstein, were under Danish administration from the 1815 Treaty of Paris (with settled post-Napoleon European borders) until Denmark's defeat by Germany and Austria in the Danish War of 1864.

 Review of Ozone by A. Guerrrero, F97
The Vienna Convention serves as a mechanism of harmonization for policies and strategies on ozone layer research.
Any State or regional economic organization is free to accede to the treaties, and parties to the Montreal Protocol, under Article 4, are banned from importing or exporting controlled substances to or from States not party to the Protocol.
While the Vienna Convention and in particular the Montreal Protocol establish specific reduction goals to address the ozone depletion problem and timetables and monitoring mechanisms for achieving those goals, the treaties do not provide procedures for non-compliance.

 Secretariat - Representatives from 30 States review CFE Treaty in Vienna
VIENNA, 30 May 2006 - Representatives of 30 States gathered in Vienna today for the Third Review Conference of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, widely known as the CFE Treaty.
The CFE Treaty, which was signed in November 1990 and entered into force in 1992, provided for significant cuts in conventional military arsenals of NATO and former Warsaw Pact States.
As the Treaty was originally designed to provide military security and stability in Europe by ensuring parity between NATO and Warsaw Pact in conventional armaments and equipment, the changed environment after the Warsaw Pact was dissolved and NATO enlarged in the 1990s gave rise to the need to adapt it.

 The Succession Laws of Parma
The reciprocal renunciations of the Spanish king and the Emperor to their claims were made and exchanged in London in 1721; a final peace treaty between Spain and the Emperor signed in Vienna on April 30, 1725 and ratified by the Empire on June 7, 1725.
The matter was settled by a convention of June 10, 1763, whereby the king of Sardinia accepted to change his reversionary rights to the case of the ruler of Parma acceding to either of the other thrones, in exchange for a lump-sum payment representing the value of the revenues from the disputed territory.
But the treaty of Vienna of June 1815 revised the arrangements and gave Parma to Napoleon's wife only, for her life, leaving the details of the reversion for another treaty; that treaty was signed in Paris on June 10, 1817.

 LM _VIENNA CONVETION ON CONSULAR RELATIONS, Spring'01
Under Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, a treaty signed by more than 160 countries and ratified by the U.S. in 1969, law enforcement authorities must inform arrested or detained foreign nationals "without delay" of their right to consular assistance.
By the time cases reach the appellate level, invoking the treaty is too late and dismissed by procedural default, which basically means the defendant failed to raise his claim in state court.
Vienna treaty is routinely violated, but the procedural default issue comes up when thinking about possible remedies.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — An 89-nation conference on Friday approved broadening a treaty meant to keep nuclear material from the hands of terrorists, opening the way for states to ratify the agreement.
The amended treaty enters into force only after ratification by at least two-thirds of the 112 countries abiding by it — a process expected to take years.
The existing treaty was drawn up in Vienna and New York in 1980, long before the threat of terrorist nuclear attacks had become a pressing fear.

The Treaty of Vienna 1815 = While the final hectic scenes of Napolean's escapades were still being played out, far broader issues were being discussed by the general diplomatic assembly which had congregated in Vienna.
Those men involved in the Congress of Vienna had a monumental task in front of them: that of piecing Europe together once more and of seeking to establish conditions which would give this work of reconstruction a reasonable chance of survival.
There was the unstable Tsar Alexander I from Russian, the enigmatic Austrian Metternich, the cool, calm Caslereagh representing Britain, the Frenchman Talleyrand and King Frederick William III and his chancellor, Hardenberg leading the Prussian delegation.

 The Story of the Life of Lord Palmerston by Karl Marx
It was the Treaty of Adrianople that prepared Russia's usurpation of Moldo-Wallachia, and recognised her claims to the Caucasus.
Russia required the marshy islands of the Danube, by virtue of the clause of the Treaty of Adrianople, which clause itself was a violation of the treaty she had previously contracted with England and the other Powers, in 1827.
Now Russia is a party to the Treaty of Vienna, and that treaty stipulates, in Article CXIII, that "each State shall be at the expense of keeping in good repair the towing paths, and shall maintain the necessary work in order that no obstructions shall be experienced by the navigation".

 Russo-Turkish War And The Treaty Of Berlin
A fresh upthrust of what we have here called the natural map against the diplomatic arrangements of the Treaty of Vienna began in 1875, when the Christian races in the Balkans, and particularly the Bulgarians, became restless and insurgent.
There upon Russia, intervened (1877), and after a year of costly warfare obliged the Turks to sign the treaty of San Stefano, which was, on the whole, a sensible treaty, breaking up the artificial Turkish Empire, and to a large extent establishing the natural map.
This treaty of Berlin was the second main factor, the peace of Frankfort being the first, in bringing about the great war of 1914-18.
