CTBT: Confidence Building Measures and On-Site Activities

Abstract

This report examines the role and likely effectiveness of a range of proposed and additional Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) and On-Site Inspections to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It also identifies what personnel involved in CBM and/or OSI need to be able to do; what means need to be available to them; and what constraints will limit their activities. Additionally, the report developed a structure that will allow the evaluation of various activities that will be performed during the first 25 days of an OSI. The report first concentrates on CBM and identifies additional CBM that may be useful in support of the CTBT. It also identifies CBM reporting procedure. Next the report looks at OSI and develops the functions, qualifications and training that will be required of an CTBT inspector. It also examines various compositions of OSI Teams and identifies inspector specialties. The report also contains the paper with associated briefing slides presented by DSWA at the first OSI Workshop in Vienna. Included in this report is a comparison of OSI Inspection measures between the CTBT and other treaties.
