Timeline

1911

Pierre Charles José Marie, Count Harmel (16 March 1911 – 15 November 2009) was a Belgian lawyer, Christian Democratic politician and diplomat.

1933

He studied law at the University of Liège (Liège), where he obtained the titles of Doctor of Laws and Master of Social Science in 1933.

1938

During his studies, he was active in the Association catholique belge, of which he became the chairman in 1938.

1940

Mobilized in 1940, he took part in the 18 days Campaign.

1946

Member of the PSC-CVP since its creation in 1945, Harmel was elected deputy for the first time in the parliamentary elections of 17 February 1946.

Harmel was married to Marie-Claire Van Gehuchten from 22 May 1946.

Together they had 6 children, four sons and two daughters.

1947

In 1947, he was appointed professor of Law at the University of Liège.

1949

Harmel represented Belgium at the fourth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1949.

1950

He subsequently was member of several governments in the 1950s and 1960s.

During his period as Minister of Education (8 June 1950 until 22 April 1954), Harmel increased the wages of teachers in private (i.e. Catholic) schools and introduced laws linking the subsidies for private schools to the number of pupils.

These measures were perceived by the secularists (i.e. the anti-clerical Liberals and Socialists) as a declaration of war.

1954

When the 1954 elections brought to power a coalition of Socialists and Liberals, the new Education Minister, Leo Collard, immediately set out to reverse the measures taken by his predecessor, sparking mass protests by the Catholic bloc.

1958

A compromise was eventually found by the next government (a Catholic minority government led by Gaston Eyskens), and the "School War" was concluded by 6 November 1958 School Pact.

André Molitor was one of the chief architects of the school pact.

Harmel was Minister of Justice in the second government led by Gaston Eyskens (23 June 1958 – 6 November 1958), and then Minister of Culture (6 November 1958 – 3 September 1960) and Minister of the Civil Service (3 September 1960 – 25 April 1961) in the third Eyskens cabinet.

1965

Harmel served as the prime minister of Belgium from 1965 to 1966.

He was born in Uccle, son of father Charles Harmel and mother Eusibie André.

Prime Minister of Belgium from 28 July 1965 until 19 March 1966, Harmel led a coalition comprising Christian Democrats and Socialists.

1966

Finally, he was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Liberal-Christian Democratic coalition led by Paul Vanden Boeynants (19 March 1966 – 7 February 1968).

1967

The report, which was approved by the council in December 1967, contained the so-called "Harmel Doctrine".

It advocated a strong defence combined with good diplomatic relations with the countries of the Warsaw Pact.

1970

As Foreign Minister he chaired the opening meeting of the enlargement negotiations between the EEC and the four applicants for Community membership in June 1970.

Indeed, Harmel's opening statement to the enlargement conference has since formed the basis of the Community opening position for future enlargement discussions.

As Minister of Foreign Affairs, he submitted a report titled "Future Tasks of the Alliance" to the NATO council of ministers.

The Harmel Doctrine helped to pave the way for the East-West détente of the early 1970s, which led to the 1975 Helsinki Summit and the creation of the OSCE.

Harmel himself visited several Warsaw Pact countries.

1971

He would keep his seat without interruption until 1971.

After 25 years in the Chamber of Deputies, Harmel was Senator from 1971 until 1977.
