The Declaration of Neutrality was a declaration by the Austrian Parliament declaring the country permanently neutral. It was enacted on 26 October 1955 as a constitutional act of parliament, i.e., as part of the Constitution of Austria. Pursuant to resolution of the Federal Assembly of Parliament following the State Treaty, Austria declared „its permanent neutrality of its own accord.“ The second section of this law stated that „in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory.“
