There can be a variety of measures to reduce the risk of nuclear war, e.g:
- Compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty: Abolish or continuously reduce nuclear weapons
- Conferences between nuclear-weapon-owning countries with close time intervals
- New disarmament agreements going beyond the current INF Treaty
- de-escalation – broad coalition of reason (e.g. confidence- and security-building measures as in “Cold War No. 1”, red telephones, controls, inspections, manoeuvre announcements)
- New policy of détente based on the principles of peace logic in foreign policy (e.g. equal rights, understanding other sides, foresightedly preventing conflicts, willingness to reconcile instead of violence & enemy images, recognition of other political cultures & renunciation of regime changes)
- Creating cooperative security structures with integration and without exclusion of neighbours (e.g. Europe – Russia)
- Improvement of international understanding (e.g. youth exchange, cultural exchange)
