2019.16 Combined Military and Police Coordination Mechanisms in Peace Operations (Guidelines)

Abstract

These guidelines focus on military and police coordination in a broad range of operational contexts involving security and public order situations as well as addressing protection concerns in peace operations in differing operational contexts including the threats or acts of physical violence including but not limited to those perpetrated by non-state actors, including armed groups, and state actors whether acting individually or collectively at operational and tactical levels which require a combined military and police response. These guidelines provide planners and commanders with the flexibility to adapt the planning and execution of operations as the situation evolves.
