European Security and the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe

Abstract

Twenty years after the end of the Cold War there is still no reliable, comprehensive and integrated security environment throughout the OSCE area. The most significant and negative reason for this situation is the enlargement of NATO. Due to this process the CFE Treaty is no more relevant to reality. In order to restore its role in arms control regime in Europe the Agreement on Adaptation of the Treaty should be ratified and domination of one group of states should be eliminated.
