NATO Documents Online: http://www.nato.int/docu/update/2004/08-august/e0804a.htm
The NATO Archives, working in co-operation with the Parallel History Project
on NATO and the Warsaw Pact, has recently placed 250 records relating
to the so-called ‘Harmel Report’ on the World Wide Web.
The Harmel Report, formally known as the “Future Tasks of the Alliance,”
was the product of an unprecedented yearlong study and consultation undertaken
in 1966-67 with the member nations of NATO. The objective of this initiative
was to conduct a fundamental re-examination of the mandate and role of
NATO in light of the changing geopolitical situation. The decisions resulting
from this process were, according to many historians, a milestone in the
development of East-West détente.
The documents placed
on the Parallel History Project website include the records on the launching
of the study, the work of the four study groups, national contributions
and commentary, and the production and release of the final report in
December1967. Through the efforts of the NATO Archives Committee and the
NATO Archives, these records were declassified and publicly disclosed
in 2001.
