Transcripción del video
Welcome to Lesson 1. In the lesson, we will look at UN civil-military coordination in the context of complex peace operations. We will look at a number of concepts in more detail. For instance, we will introduce the concept of United Nations humanitarian civil-military coordination, or UN-CMCoord, which is a function that focuses primarily on the humanitarian-military relationship from the humanitarian perspective. We will also introduce United Nations civil-military coordination, or UN-CIMIC – the core focus of this course – which focuses more on military-civilian relations, including the humanitarian, but not limited to the humanitarian dimension. We also focus in this lesson on United Nations Civil Affairs, an important component in UN peacekeeping operations that is a key counterpart for military UN-CIMIC officers.
