principles, policies and framework The Battalion and company commanders should streamline their plans and activities in consonance with the civil affairs policies (including QUIPs) to ensure synergy and dliver the desired impact. references: • united nations peacekeeping operations – principles and guidelines, 2008. • Dpko/Dfs policy Directive on civil affairs (april 2008). • civil affairs Handbook (april 2012). • Dpko/Dfs policy Directive on Quick impact projects (february 2007). • Dpko/Dfs guidelines on Quick impact projects (march 2009). 2.20 : Humanita ri an Aspects. Modern peacekeeping operations are often referred to as multidimensional operations because they include methods and missions that fall outside the traditional scope of peacekeeping. Functions include the facilitation of political peace processes, assistance to DDR, support the organization of elections, protect and promote human rights and assistance in restoring the rule of law. In addition, there are often a number of areas in which the role of peacekeeping operations is limited to facilitating the activities of other actors within and outside the United Nations system. While the responsibility for the provision of humanita ri an assistance rests primarily with the relevant civilian United Nations specialised agencies, funds and programmes, as well as the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement and the range of international and local NGOs, peacekeeping operations are frequently mandated to support the provision of humanitari an assistance by providing a secure and stable environment within which humanita ri an actors may carry out their activities. Such support to humanita ri an operations may entail assisting or safeguarding the delivery of food and medical supplies, or the protection of civilians. The dialogue, coordination and consultation with humanita ri an actors by the military units is key to helping alleviate humanita ri an concerns regarding the danger of compromising the real and perceived neutrality, impartiality and independence of humanita ri an action, by political decisions and military activities concerning humanita ri an operations. Mission/Force/Battalion leadership should be conscious of the fundamental need to maintain the civilian character of humanita ri an assistance, and shall be asked to ensure that the use of military mission assets to support humanita ri an assistance is appropriate, timely, unique in capability and 33

Commanders have to be prepared to participate in the dialogue with humanita ri an actors. Potential tasks depend very much on the mission set up and the local actors. references: • guidelines on the use of foreign military and civil Defence assets in Disaster relief (oslo guidelines). • guidelines on the use of military and civil Defence assets to support united nations Humanita ri an activities in complex emergencies (mcDa guidelines). 2.21 : United Nations Country Team (UNCT). The UN Country Team (UNCT) is composed of representatives of operational UN agencies, funds and programmes that carry out operational activities for development, emergency recovery and transition, within a particular country or territory. The UNCT ensures inter-agency coordination and decision-making at the country level. To improve and harness the cooperation, coordination and collaboration between peacekeeping missions, UN agencies/ UNCT and external partners, particularly in an integrated mission, the Resident Coordinators (RC)/Humanita ri an Coordinators (HC) have been designated as the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) as part of the mission organization. Such an arrangement ensures integration and synergy amongst all actors in the field and fosters congruency and continuity between peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts. Some of the elements that constitute UNCT include UNDP, UNHCR, UNHCHR, UN AID, UNICEF, UN Women, UNFPA, WHO, WFP, ILO, IMF/WB and the like. Important functions of UNCT include: • Facilitating mutually supportive and coordinated activities of the UN system in the mission area by developing a clear and shared understanding of priorities based on the overall goal, identifying complementarities with the mission mandate and integrating its collective expertise into the overall political strategy. • Creating greater strategic coherence and an effective transition from emergency relief to recovery, reconstruction, institution-building and longer term capacity-building.
