in critical areas and in a
host nation post-conflict
rehabilitation phase.
Also our Center of
Excellence for Stability
Police Units took part in
the conference. During his
speech, Carabinieri
Brigadier General
Giovanni Pietro Barbano,
CoESPU Director, focused
the audience attention on
the significant growth in
the role of police
components in
peacekeeping operations,
and the increasingly
diverse and complex policing-related tasks in the mandates of such operations.
In this frame, it was analyzed the United Nations approach, recalling also the methodologies
adopted by the European Union and other
International Organizations. Furthermore the
current role and functions of MP forces were
examined in the light of the modern
multidimensional peacekeeping and peace
support operations, comparing the military and
civil policing assets.
A great event for CoESPU that, as qualified
doctrine hub and consolidated training center,
has been glad to give its support in the light of
an increasingly stronger and mutually
beneficial cooperation between military police,
civil police and Carabinieri-like forces, aiming
to expand the global knowledge and
understanding on the important contribution
that MP may provide to enhance the
effectiveness and the impact of modern peace
support operations, and also how MP might
increase and ameliorate the coordination
mechanisms and procedures within other
mission components.
