Confidence-Building Measures
Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) are diverse arrangements -- such as hotlines, people-to-people exchanges, and prior notifications of military exercises -- that can help reduce tensions and promote good neighborly relations. Communication, constraint, transparency, and verification measures are the primary tools. They are designed to make the behavior of states more predictable by facilitating communication among states and establishing rules or patterns of behavior for states' military forces.
