Abstract:

This paper analyses the role of the Oder–Neisse border issue in Polish-Belgian relations between 1956 and 1975, based primarily on archival materials produced in the foreign ministries of both countries. They show that the efforts of Polish diplomacy to have this border recognised failed due to the broader context of international relations of the period, especially the differences in positions on West Berlin and German reunification. A change in the stance of Brussels (and other Western countries) on this issue came after the Treaty between the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) and the Federal Republic of Germany was signed in December 1970, which brought about the regularization of this issue, confirmed at the Helsinki Conference.
