2022.01 Civil-Military Coordination in UN Integrated Peacekeeping Missions (UN-CIMIC)(Policy)

Abstract

This policy provides guidance to military commanders and their staff, as well as contingents in United Nations Peace Operations on the role of United Nations (UN) Civil-Military Coordination (UN-CIMIC) at the operational and tactical levels. UN-CIMIC is a military staff function that contributes to facilitating the interface between military and civilian components, which also include humanitarian and development actors (International Organizations (IOs) and (International) Non-Governmental Organizations ((I) NGOs)) in the mission area. UN-CIMIC supports the mission as a whole, and particularly UN military components whose primary role is providing a secure and stable environment, within which humanitarian/development actors may also carry out their activities.
