Confédération internationale des étudiants
The Confédération internationale des étudiants (CIE) was an international student organization in the interwar period .
history
The CIE was founded in 1919 at the Strasbourg Congress of the Union nationale des étudiants de France (UNEF) and comprised the national student umbrella organizations of the countries represented in the League of Nations . The organization was recognized by the League of Nations as the representative of the national student bodies and should not be confused with the Fédération Universitaire Internationale pour la Sociéte des Nations (FUI), also recognized by the League of Nations , in which the university groups of the parties from the socialists to the national conservatives via the central office for the student League of Nations work in Germany . The first president of the CIE was the Frenchman Jean Gérard (1890-1956). The CIE organized theUniversiade World Games (also Universiade since 1959 ).
In the CIE, the French used their influence at the beginning not to accept Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, who in their opinion were responsible for the First World War , while the British and Scots took a mediating position. The statutes of the CIE accordingly provided that the student bodies of the Central Powers should only become members after the respective country had been admitted to the League of Nations. However, under pressure from the British, contact was made with the German student body as early as 1924 , which was ultimately able to take part in the council meeting in Warsaw without voting rights. However, since the German student body was structured in a large German way, i.e. represented the interests of the students in Austria, the Sudetenland and the Free City of Danzig, the French side, in consensus with the countries of Eastern Europe, prevented admission. In 1929, at the council meeting in Budapest, a working agreement was reached between the German student body and the CIE, which in fact amounted to an association and in which the German student body's claim to representation beyond the actual borders of the German Reich was recognized by the CIE since 1919. This led in particular to tensions between the German student body and the Polish member association with regard to Gdansk.
The organization existed until the western campaign in 1940. The successor organization was the International Union of Students (IUS) after the Second World War , and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire for university sports .
