4423 ISS EAPCCO UN Police Officers Course Trainer CS4 final.indd

This trainer's guide provides a comprehensive curriculum for the EAPCCO United Nations Police Officers Course (UNPOC), designed to prepare police personnel for deployment in UN and African Union (AU) peace support operations. It covers the institutional frameworks of the UN and AU, the 'Capstone Doctrine' for peacekeeping, legal frameworks, human rights, and operational techniques such as negotiation, radio communication, and safety awareness. The guide includes theoretical modules, case studies on conduct and discipline, and a detailed field exercise called 'Furugo Kali' to simulate real-world mission scenarios.

• The UN's 'Capstone Doctrine' (UN peacekeeping operations: Principles and guidelines), released at the end of 2007, serves as the highest level of the doctrinal framework for UN peacekeeping, capturing six decades of experience to guide planners and practitioners.
• The Integrated Mission Planning Process (IMPP) is a structured framework for new or evolving missions that operates across five levels: Pre-planning, Development of UN strategy, Development of functional strategies, Development of a mission plan, and Development of mandate implementation plans.
• The African Standby Force (ASF) is established for intervention missions based on the Constitutive Act of the African Union, specifically Article 4(h) regarding grave circumstances (war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity) and Article 4(j) regarding requests from member states.
• The AU Police (AUPOL) dimension aims to ensure compliance with international criminal justice and human rights norms, assist in maintaining public safety, and contribute to the reform of local police through monitoring, mentoring, and training.
• UN Police (UNPOL) mandates are categorized as either executive or non-executive. Executive roles are typically mandated when there is a lack of national government authorities or an inability to maintain law and order, granting UN police powers to arrest and investigate local citizens.
• Peacekeeping personnel are subject to strict codes of conduct; prohibited behaviors include the exchange of money, goods, or services for sex, and any sexual activity with persons under the age of 18.
• The curriculum includes a specific 'SMART' concept applied to the tasks of UN police to address human rights abuses and improve service delivery through institutional reform.
