IV. Limiting conventional arms to promote military security: the case of conventional arms control in Europe
The renewed interest in conventional arms control in Europe that was in evidence in 2010 could not be translated into substantial progress in 2011. On the contrary, after the 2010 Astana Summit of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) failed to adopt a comprehensive Framework for Action because of disagreement over subregional conflicts, particularly in Georgia, the same issue contributed to the suspension of negotiations ‘at 36’ on conventional arms control in May 2011.1 By the end of 2011, member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) had decided to stop sharing information related to the 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty) with Russia.2
