The workshop discussions started with the conclusion that "[t]he present state of affairs in conventional arms control (CAC) and confidence and security building measures in the OSCE gives little reason for enthusiasm. Our interlocking treaty regimes have come under severe stress. Their instruments scarcely meet modern security requirements" (…) It was mentioned that there was currently no platform dealing with CAC. Speakers explained that there were basically two options for how to proceed: Either the CFE States Parties [Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe] would start the process and, at a later stage, invite others to join or, alternatively, an OSCE format could be chosen in which each participating State (with territory in the area of application) could participate. (…) Speakers also stressed the need to integrate conventional arms control into the broader political picture. More specifically and with respect to Ukraine, it was noted that it was necessary to identify deficits and modernization needs, also with respect to new types of (hybrid) warfare, as observed in Ukraine. (…) It was stated that arms control instruments can be useful for crisis management in certain phases of the conflict cycle, particularly in its early phases and in post-conflict periods. But the use of arms control instruments during the conflict was seen as less effective, if not counterproductive. (CORE/Pll)
