Dresden Accords

The Dresden Accords were agreements signed in 1950 between East and West Germany to establish protocols for effective communication, safety measures, and the treatment of prisoners during the Korean War, which was ongoing at the time. Named after the city where they were negotiated, these accords aimed to reduce misunderstandings and prevent conflicts between the two German states amid Cold War tensions. While primarily focused on military and communication arrangements, they also reflected efforts to manage their complex relationship under the broader East-West rivalry.
