In this document, while defining many military and geopolitical aspects, Italy was entrusted the administration of the Free Territory of Trieste Between 1947 and 1954 Trieste was under the control of the Allied Military Government.After 1954, the role of the Italian State was restricted to manage, on behalf of the United Nations, the city and the Port of Trieste; not a sovereignty, but, the Treaty says, an “administration.” The Free Territory of Trieste, according to the pact, should have — among many special features granted by the UN Security Council — also its own flag, and use a local currency system. In fact, an independent State in which Italy would only play a role as temporary administrator.According to the Free Trieste Movement , a political organization that asks for the application of the Treaty of Peace and other post-war international agreements , none of these special features have been ever honored over the years by the Italian Governments. The Movement sent a claim addressed to the Italian State, the United Nations and the European Union Although the story seems at first sight only a political oddity (and when it comes to Italy oddities are habits), in fact the documents proving the existence of this anomaly are consistent and have never been challenged. The United Nations, while dealing with the case, have not yet decided to provide a clear and ultimate official response.In this regard, the regional public TV broadcaster RAI of Friuli -Venezia Giulia , the Italian region where Trieste is located, claims to have sent an email with a request for clarification to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and have had received a terse response (one line) in which the UNO Secretary spokeswoman Morana Song says that "the United Nations Secretariat considers Trieste to be an integral part of Italy." Informed about the communication, the Movement leader, Roberto Giurastante, said that “this is not an official statement.” It seems that, at the moment, the Italian authorities, taken aback by the initiatives of the Free Trieste Movement, don't have legal means to refute the thesis of the independent territory. And the UN has not yet officially responded to the requests submitted by the Movement.So much hesitancy is understandable. On the one hand the geographical position of Trieste and its port is strategic: the far north of the Adriatic Sea is the perfect gateway to Central and Eastern Europe, and many Nations would have considerable advantages in the use of preferential customs procedures offered by Trieste Free Port. The cosmopolitan nature of the area would encourage many activities of international scope. On the other hand, if indeed the United Nations stated definitively and unequivocally the legal status of the Free Territory of Trieste, it would probably fire considerable diplomatic matters.About 5,000 people on 15th September 2013 rallied in Trieste to ask that international agreements are respected in order to ensure the independence which, they claim, although always guaranteed on paper, has been forgotten for 60 years.It is perhaps time that the UNO Security Council takes a decision once and for all and unequivocally to settle definitively a story that is likely to trigger confusion and uncertainty.
