The Open Skies Treaty: Technical modernisation and political turmoil — •Hartwig Spitzer — Universität Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik

The Treaty on Open Skies has opened the full territory of its member states "from Vancouver to Wladivostok" to cooperative aerial observation flights. Today the Treaty on Open Skies is confronted with contradictory developments: Continuing adherence of all parties, in particular Russia and the United States to the treaty and preparations for modernisation of the technical monitoring capabilities on the one hand, while the general support for conventional arms control and military confidence building in the OSCE region declines. Since January 2011 an intervention of Turkey over the accession application of Cyprus has prevented any regular sessions and decisions of the Open Skies Consultative Commission (OSCC). This contribution will cover the modernisation by introduction of digital aerial cameras and new aircraft as well as the present political turmoil.
