Briefly explain the key elements of Sino-India CBMs. What in your judgment are the CBMs effective in maintaining peace?

It has been fashionable in much of the English literature on the subject to visualise confidence building measures (CBMs) essentially in their Western framework. However, the CBMs in the Asian context have preceded all these Western models, most of which owe their origins to the Final Act of the Helsinki process of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) that was concluded in 1975. Besides, the Asian CBMs have also been far more broadbased than even those Western mechanisms that were launched later under the Document of the Conference on Disarmament in Europe held in 1986 at Stockholm (Sweden). Similar arrangements had been for long experimented amongst various Asian nations, including both China and India.1 In the Sino-Indian context, for example, right from the setting up of the Joint Defence Council of 1948 that had effected the division of armed forces and assets between India and Pakistan to the Sino-Indian Panchsheel Agreement of 1954, such CBMs had been part of their nation-building during the early years of their independence and were later consolidated under their later agreements like the Indo-Pak Simla Agreement of 1971 and the two famous Sino-Indian CBMs agreements of 1993 and 1996. China has also been building similar arrangements with its other neighbours like Russia, Pakistan and the newly created three Central Asian Republics. Many of these formal and informal measures had also been effected over the years which include written and unwritten agreements-in-principle on ideals like the "non-use", or the "selective use" of the armed forces, which found expression later in American "city avoidance" doctrines of the early 1970s.
