Explain the importance of cooperation in the field of ‘Traditional Security’.
Cooperation is very much required as well as essential in the field of ‘Traditional Security.’ It is now an almost accepted fact that war must be avoided. There should be no useless killings or hurting others except self-defense. Traditional Views of security lead to disarmament, arms control confidence-building. Arms control or disarmament means all states give-up certain kinds of weapons. For example in 1972 BWC- Biological Weapon Convention and in 1992 CWC- Chemical Weapon Convention banned the possession as well as the production of these weapons. More than 155 states accepted the proposal of CWC and BWC. At the same time through Traditional Security, countries share ideas and information with their rivals and create confidence-building not to go to war to threaten another opponent. In traditional security, force is both for maintaining peace and achieving security.
