from the traditional mandates of observing ceasefires that characterized the early missions, to the
complex and multidimensional aspects of today’s operations.
In particular, current peacekeeping operations require a comprehensive approach in sustaining
peace and security, that includes not only other preventive or contextual activities such as conflict
prevention, peacemaking, and peacebuilding, but also the availability of well trained and
professional peace operators.

Consequently the quality of the pre-deployment Peacekeeping training is, now more than ever, an
essential key element for the success of every modern peace mission.
In this frame, CoESPU, in its capacity of center of excellence for advanced studies in the field of
peace support operations, has been invited to take part in this IAPTC Annual Conference. A really
relevant event in order to focus the attention on the common need to develop and globally share
strategic guidelines on peacekeeping training.
In this occasion the audience expressed its appreciation for the active contribution given by the
CoESPU Director and its qualified Staff, recognizing the validity of the well-known Carabinieri
training methodology, as result of over two hundred year old experience in stability missions and
peace operation all over the world.
An important acknowledgment not only for the Carabinieri Corps but also for our CoESPU that, as
doctrinal hub for advanced studies and training center, is strongly committed to contribute in
developing new doctrinal guidelines and strategic concepts, in support of the global challenges in
peace and security.
