    Abstract

    Countries wishing to improve the implementation of Protection of Civilians (POC) mandates in UN peace operations must deliver fit-for-purpose enablers to bridge the gap between POC mandates and the inadequate commitments to fulfil these. This policy brief describe a range of POC-enablers that can help improve POC implementation. POC enablers may comprise various ways of enhancing mission capabilities that can be delivered also by countries seeking alternatives to large-scale troop deployments – from assessments and planning capabilities over teaching and training to medical units, specialized technology, and airlift contributions.
