NATO Suspends Key Cold War-Era Security Treaty

8 Nov 2023

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 

  • The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, was set up in 1949 by the US, Canada, and several Western European nations to ensure their collective security against the Soviet Union.
    • It was the US’s first peacetime military alliance outside the Western Hemisphere.
  • Decision making: A “NATO decision” is the expression of the collective will of all 31 member countries since all decisions are taken by consensus.
  • 12 founding member countries: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 
  • Other members: Greece, Turkey, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia (2020) and Finland (2023).
  • Headquarters: Brussels, Belgium.
