  1. INTER-AMERICAN DEFENSE BOARD CONFIDENCE- AND SECURITY-BUILDING MEASURES (CSBMs)

  2. INTRODUCTION • The Consolidated List of Confidence- and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs) is an OAS resolution—CP/CSH-1043/08 Rev. 1 of January 15, 2009. • On March 15, 2013, Ambassador Carmen Lomellin, the Permanent Representative of the United States, forwarded the IADB a document officially requesting a review and evaluation of the CSBMs. • A Working Group (WG) was thus created at the IADB. Fifteen countries participated in the study: Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, United States, and Trinidad and Tobago.

  3. INTRODUCTION • The Final Report of the CSBM Working Group was forwarded to the Permanent Mission of the United States to the OAS through IADB Official letter nº 544 of September 15, 2014. • In 2015 a review was conducted of the IADB proposal for the new List of Confidence- and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs). • In March 2016, the updated document was sent to the Secretariat of the Committee on Hemispheric Security of the OAS .

  20. CONCLUSIONS OF THE VI FORUM ON CSBMs Review, promotion, and impact the CSBMs: • Member states of the OAS are not regularly reporting CSBMs. • The OAS should encourage best practices with regard to reporting CSBMs. • One proposal is a spreadsheet. Discussion and analysis of new CSBMs: • The CSH should analyze and seek to further consolidate the list of CSBMs. • The member states should review and consider new measures. • Proposal by the IADB for a new list of CSBMs.

  21. CONCLUSION • The IADB’s goal is to offer a proposal for a new list of Confidence- and Security-Building Measures (CSBMs), seeking to perfect the existing measures, by making them more effective and appropriate for implementation. • The CSBMs are an effective instrument for establishing ties of friendship, confidence, and security among the countries of the Hemisphere .
