On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the entry into force of the Antarctic Treaty, the Saxony District of the DARC e.V., in co-operation with Gianni, I1HYW, is issuing this diploma.
The Antarctic Treaty is an international agreement that stipulates that the uninhabited Antarctic between 60 and 90 degrees south latitude is reserved exclusively for peaceful use, especially for scientific research. The treaty was discussed by twelve signatory states at the 1959 Antarctic Conference in Washington and came into force in 1961. It is of great political significance because it was the first international treaty after the end of the Second World War to establish the principles of peaceful coexistence between states with different social systems.
