This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) Handbook for Military Support to Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform provides fundamental guidance, planning considerations, techniques, procedures, and other information for rule of law (ROL) issues that the joint force commander (JFC) and his staff may encounter in joint operation/campaign planning and in executing military operations such as theater security cooperation, foreign humanitarian assistance, stability operations, and peace operations. This handbook includes, within its definition of ROL, activities ranging across the functional spectrum of policing, management and oversight, and prisons; explains the interrelationship between ROL, governance, and security; and outlines the role of security sector reform (SSR) in building partner capacity to strengthen stability and ROL. Finally, this handbook provides a template to analyze the rule of law foundation essential to successful stability operations. This handbook is primarily for commanders and planners, rather than for lawyers. It is a practical guide that provides templates, tools, best practices, and lessons learned for planning and execution at the theater-of-operations level and below. Its primary purpose is to aid US military commanders and planners to more fully understand their roles and tasks in establishing ROL in fragile states during stability operations, in failed states, or in occupied territory in the immediate post-conflict period. Planning and executing ROL efforts to support military missions and giving legal advice to the commander on those missions are two different functions. While legal professionals are critical participants in ROL activities to support joint operations, planning for operations which include tasks to restore or strengthen ROL is a commander and operational planner responsibility. For purposes of operational awareness and understanding, this handbook addresses many of the linkages between ROL and the legal issues that impact ROL considerations for planning and operations. This handbook supports operational planning that integrates the elements of operational law and other legal issues covered authoritatively in doctrine and discussed in other non-doctrinal publications. This handbook does not answer every question regarding ROL or SSR that may arise in military operations. Strengthening ROL can mean different things to different stakeholders, and the requirements vary depending on the specific operation and the political, geographic, and cultural context in which an operation takes place. This handbook provides JFCs and their staffs with ways to conduct mission analysis, assessments, and interagency coordination that will lead to more comprehensive approaches to build sustainable host nation capacity. ROL and SSR are not exclusively or even primarily military responsibilities; in most cases, these tasks require whole-of government engagement by multiple US Government (USG) agencies, as well as intergovernmental organizations (IGO) and other international stakeholders. This handbook complements other ROL and SSR guidance, including the relevant joint and Service military doctrinal publications, systems governing interagency processes, and civilian guides published by the Department of State (DOS), US Agency for International Development (USAID), and other USG agencies. Additionally, this handbook incorporates the interagency-accepted principles of SSR contained in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Handbook on Security System Reform.

Download or read book Handbook for Military Support to Governance Elections and Media written by U. S. Joint Command and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook for Military Support to Governance, Elections, and Media provides fundamental guidance, planning considerations, techniques, procedures, and other information for the restoration of a country's governance, elections, and media institutions and processes during the post-conflict period (e.g., post-civil war; Phase IV, "Stabilize," of a major operation). This handbook is not intended to stand alone as a planning guide, but instead to complement the planning that would be required to better integrate all elements of national capacity in response to an overseas contingency or in support of military engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence activities. Its primary purpose is to aid US joint military planners on a joint force staff to more fully understand their roles and tasks in building or restoring a failed government in the immediate post-conflict period. It is designed to help lay the groundwork for a successful transition between military and civilian authorities in situations where the armed forces for whatever reason find themselves as the de facto governing authority responsible for providing or establishing governance. This handbook describes the nature of situations that will be faced and provides both general guidance on addressing governance problems and contact references to obtain specialized assistance. It stresses that civilians are generally the supported entity for governance-related operations. It does not address the military roles in longer-term democracy and governance development in state-building missions. It also does not detail military support to security sector reform (SSR) or security force assistance (SFA), although both SSR and SFA have important institution-building and governance components. Joint force support to SSR is substantially discussed in the Handbook for Military Support to Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform. The major civilian United States Government (USG), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that play key roles as donors and implementing partners are discussed in the handbook. Understanding the complexity of the "state reconstruction" environment will assist planners in achieving a more unified effort with major stakeholders. This handbook also includes assessment and evaluation tools, lists of crucial planning considerations, military tasks matrices, and principles of practice. Vignettes and case studies, informed from on-the-ground experiences, illustrate key concepts and best practices. A special topics section discusses the strategic relationships between governance operations and counterinsurgency, political reconciliation, SFA, SSR, and ungoverned areas. This handbook does not address specific military tasks in the rare cases where a transitional military authority assumes governing responsibilities. Joint publication (JP) 3-57, Civil Military Operations, and Army field manual (FM) 3-07, Stability Operations, stand as the authoritative references for military governance. Although no longer officially Service doctrine, FM 25-5, the 1943 Army-Navy manual, Military Government and Civil Affairs, provides proven methods to conduct transitional military authority. While this handbook defines and discusses potential military roles related to governance, it does not suggest that US forces will always undertake any or all of these activities in any given operation. Furthermore, the handbook does not advocate military governance but simply seeks to identify the governance-support roles and tasks that military forces have performed in numerous missions. With a more robust task inventory, the planner can anticipate and plan for the full range of possible tasks and the concomitant capabilities required in the post-conflict period.

Download or read book Security Sector Reform in Liberia Mixed Results from Humble Beginnings written by Strategic Studies Institute and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reform and the democratic control of the security sector-and the joining together of security and development-have become a major focus of international intervention into post-conflict societies. In theory, security sector reform (SSR) programs derive from a comprehensive national defense and security review. They involve, at the core, the transformation of a country's military and police forces-but they also involve a comprehensive review and restructuring of intelligence services, the penitentiary, the judiciary, and other agencies charged in some way with preserving and promoting the safety and security of the state and its citizenry. However, the process of SSR in Liberia, supported by the United Nations, the United States, and a number of bilateral donors, is far more rudimentary than the conceptual paradigm suggests. It is aimed simply at the training and equipping of the army and the police, with little attention or resources being devoted to the other components of the security system.
Download or read book Can Might Make Rights written by Jane Stromseth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at why it's so difficult to create 'the rule of law' in post-conflict societies such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and offers critical insights into how policy-makers and field-workers can improve future rule of law efforts. A must-read for policy-makers, field-workers, journalists and students trying to make sense of the international community's problems in Iraq and elsewhere, this book shows how a narrow focus on building institutions such as courts and legislatures misses the more complex cultural issues that affect societal commitment to the values associated with the rule of law. The authors place the rule of law in context, showing the interconnectedness between the rule of law and other post-conflict priorities, such as reestablishing security. The authors outline a pragmatic, synergistic approach to the rule of law which promises to reinvigorate debates about transitions to democracy and post-conflict reconstruction.

Download or read book Securing Development written by Bernard Harborne and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securing Development: Public Finance and the Security Sector highlights the role of public finance in the delivery of security and criminal justice services. This book offers a framework for analyzing public financial management, financial transparency, and oversight, as well as expenditure policy issues that determine how to most appropriately manage security and justice services. The interplay among security, justice, and public finance is still a relatively unexplored area of development. Such a perspective can help security actors provide more professional, effective, and efficient security and justice services for citizens, while also strengthening systems for accountability. The book is the result of a project undertaken jointly by staff from the World Bank and the United Nations, integrating the disciplines where each institution holds a comparative advantage and a core mandate. The primary audience includes government officials bearing both security and financial responsibilities, staff of international organizations working on public expenditure management and security sector issues, academics, and development practitioners working in an advisory capacity.

Download or read book Unified Action Partners Quick Reference Guide written by United States Army and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quick reference guide describes U.S. Army organizations, planning, and operations. Unified action partners (UAPs) are those military forces, of the private sector with whom U.S. Army forces plan, coordinate, synchronize, and integrate during the conduct of operations (Army Doctrine Reference Publication 3-0, Unified Land Operations).UAPs include joint forces (activities in which elements of two or more U.S. military departments participate), multinational forces, and U.S Government (USG) agencies and departments. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars highlight the necessity for collaboration, cooperation, and synchronization among USG, NGOs, and private sector agencies to focus the elements of national power in achieving national strategic objectives. Our experience in these conflicts accentuates the importance of foreign governments, agencies, and militaries participating, in concert with the United States, to achieve common objectives. Meeting the challenges of complex environments, infused with fragile or failing nation states, non-state actors, pandemics, natural disasters, and limited resources, requires the concerted effort of all instruments of U.S. national power plus foreign governmental agencies, military forces, and civilian organizations.
