The Treaty on Open Skies establishes a program of unarmed aerial surveillance flights over the entire territory of its participants.
It was signed in March 1992 and became one of the major confidence-building measures in Europe after the Cold War. It entered into force on January 1, 2002, and currently has 34 States Parties, including Russia and the majority of the NATO countries.
Moscow ratified the Treaty on Open Skies on May 26, 2001.
