The boundaries of the Klagenfurt area are as follows: From point 871, about 10 kilometres to the east-north-east of Villach, southwards to a point on the Drave about 2 kilometres above St Martin, a line running approximately from north to south to be fixed on the ground; thence in a north-westerly direction as far as a point about 1 kilometre south-east of the railway bridge on the eastern branch of the bend formed by the Drave about 6 kilometres to the east of Villach, the course of the Drave; thence in a south-westerly direction to point 1817 (Malestiger), a line to be fixed on the ground passing through point 666 (Polana) and cutting the railway between Mallestig and Faak; thence in an east-south-easterly direction, then north-east to point 1929 (Guchowa), the watershed between the basins of the Drave to the north and the Save to the south; thence north-east to point 1054 (Strojna), a line to be fixed on the ground following in a general manner the western boundary of the basin of the Miess, passing through points 1558, 2124 and 1185; thence north-east to point 1522 (Hühner Kogel), a line to be fixed on the ground, crossing the Drave to the south of Lavamünd; thence westwards to point 842, 1 kilometre west of Kasparstein, a line to be fixed on the ground passing to the north of Lavamünd; thence as far as point 1899 (Speikkogl), the north-eastern administrative boundary of the district of Völkermarkt; thence in a south-westerly direction and as far as the River Gurk, the north-western administrative boundary of the district of Völkermarkt; thence in a south-westerly direction as far as a point on the administrative boundary to the west of point 1075 (Steinbruch Kogel), a line to be fixed on the ground, passing through point 1076; thence in a westerly direction and as far as a point to be fixed near point 725, about 10 kilometres north-west of Klagenfurt, the administrative boundary between the districts of St Veit and Klagenfurt; thence as far as point 871, which was the starting point of this description, a line to be fixed on the ground, passing through points 815 (Freudenberg), 1045 (Gallinberg) and 1069 (Taubenbühel). Article 50 With a view to the organisation of a plebiscite, the Klagenfurt area will be divided into two zones, the first to the south and the second to the north of a transversal line, of which the following is a description: From the point where the western boundary of the area leaves the Drave in a northerly direction as far as the point about 1 kilometre to the east of Rosegg (Saint-Michael), the course of the Drave downstream; thence in a north-easterly direction and as far as the western extremity of the Wörther See, south of Velden, a line to be fixed on the ground; thence in an easterly direction to the outlet of the Glanfurt from the lake, the median line of that lake; thence eastwards to its confluence with the River Glan, the course of the Glanfurt downstream. thence eastward to its confluence with the River Gurk, the course of the Glan downstream; thence in a north-easterly direction, to the point where the northern boundary of the Klagenfurt area crosses the River Gurk, the course of the Gurk. The Klagenfurt area will be placed under the control of a Commission entrusted with the duty of preparing the plebiscite in that area and assuring the impartial administration thereof. This Commission will be composed as follows: four members nominated respectively by the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy, one by Austria, one by the Serb-Croat-Slovene State, the Austrian member only taking part in the deliberations of the Commission in regard to the second zone, and the Serb-Croat-Slovene member only taking part therein with regard to the first zone. The decisions of the Commission will be taken by a majority. The second zone will be occupied by the Austrian troops and administered in accordance with the general regulations of the Austrian legislation. The first zone will be occupied by the troops of the Serb-Croat-Slovene State, and administered in accordance with the general regulations of the legislation of that State. In both zones the troops, whether Austrian or Serb-Croat-Slovene, shall be reduced to the numbers which the Commission may consider necessary for the preservation of order, and shall carry out their mission under the control of the Commission. These troops shall be replaced as speedily as possible by a police force recruited on the spot. The Commission will be charged with the duty of arranging for the vote and of taking such measures as it may deem necessary to ensure its freedom, fairness and secrecy. In the first zone the plebiscite will be held within three months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, at a date fixed by the Commission. If the vote is in favour of the Serb-Croat-Slovene State, a plebiscite will be held in the second zone within three weeks from the proclamation of the result of the plebiscite in the first zone, at a date to be fixed by the Commission. If, on the other hand, the vote in the first zone is in favour of Austria no plebiscite will he held in the second zone, and the whole of the area will remain definitively under Austrian sovereignty. The right of voting will be granted to every person without distinction of sex who: (a) Has attained the age of 20 years on or before 1 January 1919; (b) Has on 1 January 1919, his or her habitual residence within the zone subjected to the plebiscite; and, (c) Was born within the said zone, or has had his or her habitual residence of rights of citizenship (pertinenza) there from a date previous to 1 January 1912. The result of the vote will be determined by the majority of votes in the whole or each zone. On the conclusion of each vote the result will be communicated by the Commission to the Principal Allied and Associated Powers, with a full report as to taking of the vote, and will be proclaimed. If the vote is in favour of the incorporation either of the first zone or of both zones in the Serb-Croat-Slovene State, Austria hereby renounces, so far as she is concerned and to the extent corresponding to the result of the vote, in favour of the Serb-Croat-Slovene State all rights and title over these territories. After agreement with the Commission the Serb-Croat-Slovene Government may definitively establish its authority over the said territories. If the vote in the first or second zone is in favour of Austria, the Austrian Government, after agreement with the Commission, will be entitled definitively to re-establish its authority over the whole of the Klagenfurt area, or in the second zone, as the case may be. When the administration of the country either by the Serb-Croat-Slovene State or by Austria, as the case may be, has been thus assured, the powers of the Commission will terminate. Expenditure by the Commission will be borne by Austria and the Serb-Croat-Slovene State in equal moieties. Article 51 The Serb-Croat-Slovene State accepts and agrees to embody in a Treaty with the Principal Allied and Associated Powers such provisions as may be deemed necessary by these Powers to protect the interests of inhabitants of that State who differ from the majority of the population in race, language or religion. The Serb-Croat-Slovene State further accepts and agrees to embody in a Treaty with the Principal Allied and Associated Powers such provisions as these Powers may deem necessary to protect freedom of transit and equitable treatment of the commerce of other nations. Article 52 The proportion and nature of the financial obligations of the former Austrian Empire which the Serb-Croat-Slovene State will have to assume on account of the territory placed under its sovereignty will be determined in accordance with Article 203, Part IX (Financial Clauses), of the present Treaty. Subsequent agreements will decide all questions which are not decided by the present Treaty and which may arise in consequence of the cession of the said territory. SECTION V PROTECTION OF MINORITIES slovensko Article 62 Austria undertakes that the stipulations contained in this Section shall be recognised as fundamental laws, and that no law, regulation or official action shall conflict or interfere with these stipulations, nor shall any law, regulation or official action prevail over them. Article 63 Austria undertakes to assure full and complete protection of life and liberty to all inhabitants of Austria without distinction of birth, nationality, language, race or religion. All inhabitants of Austria shall be entitled to the free exercise, whether public or private, of any creed, religion or belief, whose practices are not inconsistent with public order or public morals. Article 64 Austria admits and declares to be Austrian nationals ipso facto and without the requirement of any formality all persons possessing at the date of the coming into force of the present Treaty rights of citizenship (pertinenza) within Austrian territory who are not nationals of any other State. Article 65 All persons born in Austrian territory who are not born nationals of another State shall ipso facto become Austrian nationals. Article 66 All Austrian nationals shall be equal before the law and shall enjoy the same civil and political rights without distinction as to race, language or religion. Differences of religion, creed or confession shall not prejudice any Austrian national in matters relating to the enjoyment of civil or political rights, as for instance admission to public employments, functions and honours, or the exercise of professions and industries. No restriction shall be imposed on the free use by any Austrian national of any language in private intercourse, in commerce, in religion, in the press or in publications of any kind, or at public meetings. Notwithstanding any establishment by the Austrian Government of an official language, adequate facilities shall be given to Austrian nationals of non-German speech for the use of their language, either orally or in writing, before the courts. Article 67 Austrian nationals who belong to racial, religious or linguistic minorities shall enjoy the same treatment and security in law and in fact as the other Austrian nationals. In particular they shall have an equal right to establish, manage and control at their own expense charitable, religious and social institutions, schools and other educational establishments, with the right to use their own language and to exercise their religion freely therein. Article 68 Austria will provide in the public educational system in towns and districts in which a considerable proportion of Austrian nationals of other than German speech are resident adequate facilities for ensuring that in the primary schools the instruction shall be given to the children of such Austrian nationals through the medium of their own language. This provision shall not prevent the Austrian Government from making the teaching of the German language obligatory in the said schools. In towns and districts where there is a considerable proportion of Austrian nationals belonging to racial, religious or linguistic minorities, these minorities shall be assured an equitable share in the enjoyment and application of the sums which may be provided out of public funds under the State, municipal or other budgets for educational, religious or charitable purposes. Article 69 Austria agrees that the stipulations in the foregoing Articles of this Section, so far as they affect persons belonging to racial, religious or linguistic minorities, constitute obligations of international concern and shall be placed under the guarantee of the League of Nations. They shall not be modified without the assent of a majority of the Council of the League of Nations. The Allied and Associated Powers represented on the Council severally agree not to withhold their assent from any modification in these Articles which is in due form assented to by a majority of the Council of the League of Nations. Austria agrees that any Member of the Council of the League of Nations shall have the right to bring to the attention of the Council any infraction, or any danger of infraction, of any of these obligations, and that the Council may thereupon take such action and give such direction as it may deem proper and effective in the circumstances. Austria further agrees that any difference of opinion as to questions of law or fact arising out of these Articles between the Austrian Government and any one of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers or any other Power, a Member of the Council of the League of Nations, shall be held to be a dispute of an international character under Article 14 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. The Austrian Government hereby consents that any such dispute shall, if the other party thereto demands, be referred to the Permanent Court of International Justice. The decision of the Permanent Court shall be final and shall have the same force and effect as an award under Article 13 of the Covenant. top |
