  2. “Advocacy for an independent and neutral humanitarian approach includes a claim for maintaining a clear distinction between humanitarian action on the one hand and political-military action on the other” CIVIL–MILITARY CO-OPERATION IN THE EMERGING SECURITY LANDSCAPE

  3. Traditional and non-traditional threats • Geo-political conflict • Border Security conflict • Environmental- Natural disasters • Flood • Deforestation • Technological • Cyber security • Artificial Intelligence • Non state actors • Terrorism • Organized crimes • Trafficking- drug/human • Refugees

  4. How does the military see its role? • Non-combat functions of their armed forces that deal with civilian functions, or involve armed forces taking on tasks typically performed by civilian authorities, NGOs or international humanitarian organizations • The relationship between humanitarian organizations and multinational military missions in situations associated with armed conflict • The co-ordination and co-operation, in support of the mission, between the Commander and civil populations, including national and local authorities, as well as international, national and non-governmental organizations and agencies

  5. Conceptual and strategic approaches for civil-military interaction: • Subordination or parallel activities: Should the civilian or the military actors take the lead? Or is it simply about coordination? • Distance or proximity: Should soldiers and civilian aid workers engage with each other, with their very different organisational structures and cultures, rules and procedures, or should they save time and energy by keeping their distance? • Professionalism versus deficit compensation: Should non-military tasks only be carried out by professional organisations from the civil society sector, or do soldiers have a role to play here as well?

  6. The three core functions of CIMIC are defined as: • Support to the armed forces, e.g. through support for military planning and operations, • Support to the civil environment, e.g. through information and advice for civil authorities and agencies, • Civil-military liaison • Tasks: • In war • Pre- Conflict • Post Conflict • Peace Building and Peace Keeping operations • Reconciliation • Reconstruction • During Humanitarian Operations • Reconstruction

  7. Challenges • Diverse organisational culture • Different laws • Different resources/ capabilities • Need to enhance/ establish joint structures • Politically led humanitarian response • Effective use of all available capabilities

  8. How do we overcome • Right leadership mechanism • Efficient Legal framework • Common doctrine • Joint training and have sufficient resources • Information sharing among national and regional agencies • Establish drills and procedures
