21/09/2007 :: The Norwegian Ministry of Defence is organising a seminar on Multidimensional and Integrated Peace Operations in Brussels 5 October 2007. The seminar will bring together representatives from the UN, EU and NATO, in addition to AU officials, and will focus on common challenges in relation to peace operations and the different institutional frameworks of UN, EU and NATO.
There is a need for a multidimensional and integrated approach when responding to complex crisis. Military means normally provide only part of the solution in peace operations, and have to be integrated into a larger setting. Security and development must to a large extent go hand-in-hand - without security no development, and without development no security.
