Convention between Romania and the Great Powers on the 12th of September 1944

The formula for the “unconditional surrender” adopted in Casablanca on the 24th of January 1943 was meant to acquaint the governmentsof the states at war with the United Nations with the treatment and the terms of their countries would have to take, no matter when or why they mightwithdraw. As far as Romania was concerned, the terms of surrender included, among others, demobilisation and disarmament, handing over warmaterials, amends etc, all of which were to be imposed on by the three great powers and had been thought mainly to secure safety and to carrying onthe warfare against Germany. These objectives were considered to have deep political implications.
