DPO 2021.05 United Nations Manual for the Generation and Deployment of Military and Formed Police Units to Peace Operations (Manual)

Abstract
This Manual provides practical advice to UN Member States, the UN Secretariat and field missions on the process for planning, generating, preparing and deploying military units and Formed Police Units (FPUs) for peace operations. It sets out the procedures and steps, from the strategic engagement between Member States and the UN Secretariat, to deployment of military and police personnel with the adequate competencies, skills and equipment to the area of operations. The Manual covers the generation and deployment of military units1 and Formed Police Units (FPUs). These categories make up most deployed personnel and the processes for generating and deploying them are similar. Any differences are clearly pointed out throughout the Manual. However, in regards to FPUs, this manual does not cover the assessment procedures to ensure the efficient and effective selection and deployment of FPUs to peace operations, their conditions of deployment, the role and composition of Formed Police Units, their employment in the field vis-à-vis the scope and limitations of their use, including in regard to the use of force, and the values that underlie the United Nations policing approach, which are set out in DPO/Police Division issued guidance2. Similarly, the Manual does not cover the procedures related to individuals (police and military) and administration of police officers and civilian policing experts
