Description
The Provisional Technical Secretariat (PTS) of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization’s (CTBTO) has been actively working on the build-up of the On-Site Inspection (OSI) element of its verification regime over the course of the last years. One of the essential tools in these efforts is the conduct of exercises as a valuable opportunity to test, validate and further enhance the inspection techniques, activities, processes and procedures enabled by the Treaty.
Under the framework of the OSI Exercise Programme for 2022-2025 a series of tabletop exercises were organized in 2022 and 2023 to foster the engagement of the PTS senior management as well as to enhance their understanding of OSI policies and processes and to prepare them for their roles and responsibilities in the Build-Up Exercise (BUE24) and the Integrated Field Exercise (IFE).
This poster intends to provide a brief presentation of these exercises, including their proceedings, main outcomes and lessons learned. It also strives to showcase the continuous efforts of the PTS in achieving the organization’s readiness for OSI once the Treaty enters into force.
