What are the forms of cooperative security as per its traditional notion?

The forms of cooperative security as per its traditional notion are mentioned below:

a. Disarmament: Disarmament requires all the states to give up certain kinds of weapons. For example, the Biological Weapons Convention in 1972 and the Chemical Weapon Convention in 1992 banned the production and production of these weapons. 155 States acceded to 1st convention and 181 states acceded to 2nd convention. Both the conventions included all the great powers. But the superpowers of the US and the Soviet Union were not willing to give up nuclear weapons so they pursued arms control.

b. Arms control: Arms control regulate the acquisition and development of weapons. The Anti-ballistic Missile Treaty in 1972 tried to stop the US and the Soviet Union from using ballistic missiles as a defensive Shield to launch a nuclear attack. It allowed both of them to deploy a very limited number of the defensive system but stopped them from the large scale production of those systems. Other treaties signed by these two countries where the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty 2 and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Another similar Treaty was formed in 1968 called the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. According to this Treaty, the countries that have tested and manufactured nuclear weapons before 1967 were allowed to keep their weapons and those that had not done so, had to give up the right to acquire them. This treaty did not abolish nuclear weapons but limited the number of countries that could have them.

c. Confidence building: Confidence building is a process in which the countries share ideas and information with their Rivals. They share their military intentions and military plans up to a point. This is a way to demonstrate that they are not planning any surprise attack and tell each other about the kind of forces they possess. They may also give limited information regarding where these forces are deployed. This helps to ensure that the rivals do not go to war due to misunderstanding or misperception.
