Course Description

Free Tuition for All!

The aim of these training materials is to provide troop-contributing countries with a comprehensive training package that combines aspects of POC, Child Protection, and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence for military peacekeepers at the tactical level in UN peacekeeping operations. This programme combines elements of each of the three subject matter areas into an overall approach to tactical level protection issues. It includes a protection threat assessment process to inform planning and several small exercises as well as a larger scenario-based exercise, which can be run at the end of a course to strengthen participants’ understanding how POC, Child Protection, and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence considerations affect military planning processes at the tactical level.

These course materials have been sourced directly from the United Nations Peacekeeping Resource Hub under a revocable licence issued by the Integrated Training Service.

"The Comprehensive Protection of Civilians Training Materials for United Nations Peace Operations: Military Version provides a well-structured and insightful overview of the key responsibilities and challenges faced by military personnel in UN peacekeeping missions. The course effectively covers legal frameworks, operational strategies, and real-world case studies that enhance understanding of the protection of civilians in conflict zones. The interactive elements and practical scenarios are particularly valuable, offering a realistic perspective on decision-making in complex environments. However, incorporating more recent case studies and expanding on coordination with humanitarian agencies could further improve the course. Overall, this training is highly informative and essential for anyone involved in peacekeeping operations. I would recommend it to military personnel preparing for UN missions."
