The Treaty on Open Skies was signed on 24 March 1992 in Helsinki, Finland and currently numbers 34 State Parties.
The Treaty is a legally binding regime, aimed at enhancing military stability, predictability and transparency in the Euro-Atlantic and Eurasian regions. In this regard, the Treaty serves not only its members, but the security of all OSCE Participating States and serves as a useful model for our Partners. It can be viewed as one of the most effective politico-military instruments in the OSCE region.
The Open Skies Treaty calls for a review conference to be held every five years. The first such conference took place in 2005, and the second, chaired by the United States, was held in Vienna on 7-9 June 2010.
The Third Open Skies Treaty Review Conference, will be held on 8-10 June in Vienna under the chairmanship of the Republic of Belarus.
