1. NATOs Partnership
  • NATOs Strategic Concept identifies cooperative
    security as one of NATOs three essential core
    tasks.
  • NATO works with partners from Central and Eastern
    Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the
    Mediterranean rim, the Gulf region and individual
    countries from across the globe.
  • NATOs partners also comprise other international
    organizations, including the UN and the EU, as
    well as other actors such as the International
    Committee of the Red Cross.
  • Partners cooperate with NATO in a very broad
    range of security-related areas and, when taking
    part in a NATO cooperation programme, can
    participate in over 1,000 activities offered in
    the Partnership Cooperation Menu.
  • Partners contribute in many ways to shaping
    discussions and debates in the Alliance.

    as appropriate, including regional issues, in
    particular with a view to preventing crises and
    contributing to their management
  • Cooperation in NATO-led operations and missions
  • Interoperability, so that partners can support
    the Alliance in achieving its tactical,
    operational and strategic objectives
  • Defense reform, capability- and
    capacity-building, education and training
  • Counter-terrorism
  • Counter-proliferation of weapons of mass
    destruction and their means of delivery

3.1 NATO UN (Legal Aspect)
  • The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San
    Francisco on 26 June 1945, establishes the
    overall responsibility of the UN Security Council
    for international peace and security.
  • NATOs North Atlantic Treaty signed four years
    later, on 4 April 1949, makes clear that the UN
    Charter is the framework within which the
    Alliance operates.
  • In the Treaty, Allies reaffirm their faith in the
    purposes and principles of the Charter and commit
    themselves to the peaceful resolution of
    conflicts.
  • Commit themselves to the principle of collective
    defense, in line with Article 51 of the UN
    Charter which establishes the inherent right of
    individual or collective defense of all UN member
    countries.

3.1 NATO UN
  • Share a commitment to maintaining international
    peace and security. Cooperation since the early
    1990s.
  • NATOs 2010 Strategic Concept commits the
    Alliance to prevent crises, manage conflicts and
    stabilize post-conflict situations, including by
    working more closely with NATOs international
    partners, most importantly the UN and the
    European Union.
  • The complexity of todays security challenges has
    required a broader dialogue between NATO and the
    UN. In 2010, following the signing of the 2008
    UN-NATO declaration on cooperation, NATO
    reinforced its liaison arrangements by
    establishing the post of NATO Civilian Liaison
    Officer to the United Nations, in addition to
    that of a Military Liaison Officer, established
    in 1999. This enhanced cooperation is an integral
    part of NATOs contribution to a Comprehensive
    Approach to crisis management and operations.
