The 1984 Stockholm Conference on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures and Disarmament in Europe (CDE) aimed to enhance security and stability in Europe by fostering transparency and predictability in military activities. It involved the United States, Canada, and 33 European nations.
NATO formally presented a six-point proposal on preventing an accidental war:
- Exchange of information about military forces.
- Forecasting military activities.
- Notifying exercises.
- Observation of military activities.
- On-site inspections.
- Improving communication.
