Confidence-Building Measures

Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) are actions taken by countries or groups to reduce suspicion and increase trust between them. These measures include sharing information, communicating openly about military activities, or creating protocols to prevent misunderstandings or conflicts. CBMs help build a sense of security and cooperation, making it easier to address disagreements peacefully. They are especially important in tense situations, as they promote transparency and help ensure that each side understands the other's intentions, fostering a stable and peaceful environment.
