The comment titled "East-West Security or Palme 2.0" by Wolfgang Schwarz discusses the idea of collective security developed by the Palme Commission in the 1980s. The commission, led by Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, consisted of representatives from the West, the East, and developing countries, and emphasized the need for cooperation and trust between the superpowers to ensure security. The comment argues that the mistakes of the past should be avoided and that a new European peace order, including Russia, should be pursued. Despite the current tensions between the West and Russia, the insights of the Palme Commission should not be forgotten in order to facilitate possible future new beginnings with Russia.
