Core Values and Diplomacy

It is generally agreed that during the last few years Iceland has scored a diplomatic success. Not only has she formally threatened to withdraw her consent from a treaty arrangement whereby a NATO strategic base and installations have been established on the island and thousands of American troops have been stationed there, but she has gained certain concessions. For the smallest sovereign nation in the United Nations—160,000 islanders barely a decade out of colonial status—this represents an unusual diplomatic victory. For it, Iceland's allies are paying not only in concessions but also in anxiety regarding the long-range security of a major base. For there is no guarantee that present treaty arrangements will endure. Other crises may occur as the situation in Iceland shifts in response to local politics and the international situation
