To keep the peace, once arrangements have been made between the fighting parties, the instalment of peace-keeping forces under the command of the UN is accepted by the greens. The final determination of the CSCE territory as a Euro-pean collective security system will depend on the creation of other regional security systems. If the CSCE is to function properly, it must have funds which reflect serious commitment to the goals of con-fidence building, conflict prevention and democracy. By the year 2000 we expect the CSCE to be the primary European security system and NATO to have been voluntarily dissolved. In the long term the European Greens don't envisage a role for national armed forces.
Nuclear weapons have no role to play in a green Europe.
The theory of nuclear deterrence would entitle all countries to have nuclear weapons. A comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and nuclear disarmament by France, the UK, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are urgent priorities. We aim to control, reduce and eventually eliminate European exports of all military, nuclear and other repressive technology, and to persuade non-European countries to do the same. We will oppose state promotion of arms exports and spending on military research and development. The CSCE also has a central role to play in the ongoing European arms control and disarmament process, sup-ported by integrated CSCE institutions for verification and conversion management.
