The Vienna Conference. set to begin on November 4. 1986. is the third in the followup conferences and is tasked with reviewing compliance of all the signatory states with their Helsinki obligations. As my colleagues are aware. the overall Soviet record on human rights is very poor. The arrest of United States Journalist Nick Daniloff on trumped up charges was but the latest example of the blatant Soviet disregard for its Helsinki commitments. The continued exile of Dr. Andrei Sakharov. the many divided spouses and separated families. the denial of emigration rights to Soviet Jews and others are all in violation of the Helsinki agreement. The continued imprisonment of those courageous men and women in Moscow. Kiev.
