Insight Into

The present study offers a novel and comprehensive insight into the characteristics and effects of sport-related, national and transnational protests against apartheid. It traces the history of racial segregation in sports – particularly concerning athletics, rugby and football - and focuses on the increasing national and international resistance against this system of inequality. The focus is on the investigation of transnational protests using the example of governments, newspapers, sports associations and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany and the former GDR. The role of international orgamisations, in particular the IOC and the United Nations, in the fight against apartheid is also presented.

Contractual Agreements

At Paris, on October 23, 1954, the United States, the United Kingdom, the French Republic (the “Three Powers”) and the Federal Republic of Germany, as part of the salvage operations following the collapse of the plan for a European Defense Community, signed a Protocol on the Termination of the Occupation Regime in the Federal Republic of Germany. The first article of that Protocol provides that, upon ratification by the four signatories, the so-called Contractual Agreements with the Federal Republic of Germany, originally signed at Bonn on May 26, 1952, shall enter into force—with, however, certain amendments contained in five Schedules to the Protocol.

International Trade Organization

The seventh session of the Contracting Parties to GATT met at Geneva, Switzerland from October 2 to November 10, 1952 under the chairmanship of Johan Melander (Norway). Participating were delegates of the 34 countries which were contracting parties and observers from other governments and intergovernmental organizations. The seventh session was concerned primarily with items arising out of the operation of GATT, including items falling under the complaints procedure, tariffs and tariff negotiations, miscellaneous items proposed by governments and non-governmental organizations and the administration of GATT. Apart from an agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria concerning reciprocal concessions to the tariff agreement which had been concluded in 1951 within the framework of the Torquay Tariff Conference, no tariff negotiations were undertaken during the session. In connection with the reduction of tariff levels, the contracting parties reexamined the French plan for lowering tariffs by 30 percent on a worldwide basis in three yearly stages and the contracting parties instructed working parties to continue studies of the question.
