- Cooperation in Planning for Peacekeeping:
an informal open-ended expert group chaired by the
NATO Military Authorities has proposed guidelines for
peacekeeping planning, together with guidelines for
forces and capabilities required for peacekeeping,
aided by the development of generic peacekeeping
scenarios. The initial results of this work will
shortly be considered by the TSG.
- Development of a Common Technical Base in
Peacekeeping - Communications: an expert group led by
the Netherlands is pursuing the possibility of
developing a Communications Equipment Database and a
Communications Concept in support of peacekeeping. It
is also considering options for the design of the
communications database and is seeking to harmonise
all of its work with efforts on Command and Control
aspects of peacekeeping.
- Command and Control: the UK has circulated
a paper on Command and Control Guidelines for
Multinational Peacekeeping Operations and has
scheduled a workshop in the UK, 5th-8th July 1994, to
discuss the matter.
- Peacekeeping Training and Education: under
the lead of Denmark, efforts are being made to
exchange and collate information on national
peacekeeping training (courses, reference material,
concepts, methods, standards) with the aim, where
possible, to coordinate and streamline training
activities among AHG members. In addition, the SHAPE
School last month conducted the first of two
peacekeeping courses scheduled for 1994 with
participation from many Cooperation Partner countries.
A peacekeeping Unit Commanders' course is currently
taking place in the Czech Republic, as a follow-up to
the successful course conducted in 1993. A
Commanders/ Managerial course on peacekeeping will
take place in Poland on 13th-17th June.
- Logistics Aspects of Peacekeeping: in the
field of peacekeeping logistics, the Seminar held in
Norway last November has been followed by a workshop
on peacekeeping logistics for key logisticians at NATO
Headquarters earlier this month.
- Austria, Finland and Sweden have attended
meetings of the AHG as observers, actively
participating in its practical activities and
contributing on the basis of their specific
experience. Recently, Ireland was also invited, at
its request, to attend meetings of the AHG as
observer. Representatives of the CSCE Chairman-in-Office also continued to participate actively in the
work of the AHG, with a view to ensuring efficient
coordination of CSCE and AHG activities in the field
of peacekeeping. The UN also participated in one of
the meetings of the TSG.
