The Treaty on Open Skies entered into force on January 1, 2002, and currently has 34 States Parties. It establishes a program of unarmed aerial surveillance flights over the entire territory of its participants. The treaty is designed to enhance mutual understanding and confidence by giving all participants, regardless of size, a direct role in gathering information about military forces and activities of concern to them. Open Skies is one of the most wide-ranging international efforts to date promoting openness and transparency of military forces and activities. The concept of "mutual aerial observation" was initially proposed by President Eisenhower in 1955; the treaty eventually signed was an initiative of President(and former Director of Central Intelligence) George H. W. Bush in 1989. Negotiated by the then-members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the agreement was signed in Helsinki, Finland, on March 24, 1992. The United States ratified it in 1993.  3, record 2, English, - Open%20Skies%20Treaty

Le Traité "Ciel ouvert" de mars 1992, qui permet le survol des territoires nationaux sur la base de la réciprocité, est un autre élément important de l'établissement d'une plus grande transparence dans le domaine militaire. Le Traité "Ciel ouvert" vise à accroître la confiance, à faciliter le contrôle du respect des accords de maîtrise des armements existants ou futurs et à renforcer la capacité de détection rapide et de gestion ultérieure des crises en autorisant, selon le principe de la réciprocité, le survol du territoire des États parties.  2, record 2, French, - Trait%C3%A9%20%C2%ABCiel%20ouvert%C2%BB
