""

Back in 1975, on Swiss National Day of all days, Switzerland’s president Pierre Graber signed the Helsinki Final Act (also known as the Helsinki Accords), concluding the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe in the Finnish capital. It marked an easing of tensions in the midst of the Cold War.
