NATO Suspends Key Cold War-Era Security Treaty

November 8, 2023

GS Paper II International Relations

Context:

  • NATO has formally suspended the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.

About Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces

  • The treaty, signed in 1990 and aimed to prevent massing of forces near mutual borders.
  • Most of NATO’s 31 allies had signed this treaty, with the goal of fostering stability.
  • The treaty was one of several major Cold War-era treaties involving Russia and the United States that have ceased to be in force in recent years. 
  • Russia suspended its participation in 2007, and in 2015 announced its intention to completely withdraw from the agreement.

Response to Russia’s Withdrawal:

  • NATO’s decision comes in response to Russia’s withdrawal from the treaty.
  • NATO states that an unsustainable situation arises when Russia does not comply with the treaty while its members do.
About NATO
