Other lessons cover women's rights as human rights and the international UNmandate to involve women in key roles within peacemaking and peacebuilding processes at every stage and every level ofauthority.

This publication is acomprehensive document that defines and promulgates available peacekeeping doctrine, definitions, procedures, andpolicy. In 10 chapters, it introduces the concept and evolution of UN Peacekeeping, explains the decision process thatprecedes the deployment of a peacekeeping operation, and then the planning process to implement that decision. It alsodiscusses the art of successful mandate implementation and addresses the management of peacekeeping operations, howoperations are supported and sustained, and how they are concluded at their termination. The Institute’s course is designedto teach this DPKO doctrine to all UN personnel serving in the field and at Headquarters, as well as to those who are newto UN peacekeeping. Ten lessons, 208 pages.PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS[In English]The protection of civilians is now a recurrent theme in peacekeeping mandates. Yet, while much academic work has beendone to highlight the issue, little doctrine or guidance has been produced. This course seeks to address some of that deficitby providing a historical perspective as well as suggesting some practical options for consideration by those undertakingthis task. Consisting of five lessons, the course begins by discussing the contemporary operating environment forpeacekeepers and how the changing nature of conflict necessitates the protection of civilians. In order to actualize thisrather ambiguous concept, the author then explores the legal basis and mandates that have been produced on protectionand outlines the threats that peacekeepers face. The course then turns to look at the current guidance and the variousstakeholders and ends with a look at the key principles of protection and how they can effectively be put into practice.Five lessons, 98 pages.COURSE AUTHOR: Colonel Robert Manton (Retd), of the Royal Australian Army, served as the Military Adviser toAustralia’s Ambassador to the United Nations from 2007 through 2011.UNITED NATIONS MILITARY OBSERVERS: METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR SERVING ON A UNOBSERVER MISSION[In English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish]This course will assist in training Military Observers by enhancing the general understanding of peacekeeping and byproviding specific knowledge of methods and techniques for serving on a United Nations mission.
