The Caelum Custodia (Sky Watch) treaty establishes a program of unarmed aerial surveillance flights over the entire territory]of its participants. This treaty is designed to enhance mutual understanding and reduce points of contention between signatory nations and allowing participating nations, regardless of size or capability, a direct role in gathering information about military forces and activities of concern to them. It entered into force on 1 January 2000, and currently has 5 party states. The idea of allowing countries to openly surveil each other is thought to prevent misunderstandings. It also provides mutual accountability for countries to follow through on treaty promises.
