Tiivistelmä
The Finnish Defence Forces International Centre, with partners from the United States Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, United Nations, CIMIC Centre of Excellence and the International Committee of the Red Cross, has developed a unique course on the Protection of Civilians for NATO- and UN-Led Operations.
Past examples of our ability to protect civilians in armed conflicts demonstrate a greater need to foster education and cooperation within and between key international organisations. The creation of a Protection of Civilians course for NATO- and UN-Led Operations arose from this need.
FINCENT’s role as a long-term crisis management training provider and Department Head for Military Contribution to Peace Support has not merely offered a great opportunity to enhance cooperation but has also strengthened the individual’s faculty by providing a holistic and comprehensive understanding of the different skills and competences needed in protecting civilians. This was the first course in which these stakeholders actively worked together to provide education and training for both NATO and UN staff.
This report is the outcome of the pilot course. It provides a brief history of the FINCENT MC2PS Department Head role and how the Protection of Civilians for NATO- and UN-Led Operations course was created, conducted, evaluated and further developed after the pilot course. It is hoped the report reflects the collaborative spirit of the international organisations with a mutual interest in PoC.
