Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Helsinki Accords were signed in 1975 and represented a step forward in recognizing human rights in Eastern Europe. The agreement was signed by 35 states, including the Soviet Union and the United States. It addressed issues such as human rights, security, and cooperation between the signatory countries. While it did not seek to limit the Soviet sphere of influence in Eastern Europe or was opposed by the United States, it was initiated by the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which was established in 1973.
