This report examines the potential role of confidence-building measures (CBMs) on the Korean Peninsula. The authors detail how CBMs may be seen as a useful test of the parties' sincerity and support their capacity for greater progress in peace on the peninsula once a peace process is seriously ushered in. The report states that a genuine peace and security evolution in Korea should have a strong confidence-building component based on reciprocity, predictability, openness and a sustainable follow-up mechanism.
