The True Face of NATO: international webinar

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Thursday 21st November at 6pm (CET) REGISTER HERE NATO claims that its existence is based on its member countries’ common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

European Security with EU and Nato

Background

The Maastricht treaty which was accepted by European Union 1991 included a Common Foreign and Security Policy. In the treaty Western European Union was pointed out as the military dimension of EU. It contained crisis management which some years later was included in the framework of EU. In 1998 EU agreed on a European Security and Defence Policy.

The cooperation with Nato has always had a high priority in EU. In September 2013 the European parliament accepted a resolution about EU:s military structures, where Nato plays an important role. A much closer military and political cooperation is proposed concerning risk management, administration of resources, strategic planning and implementation of military and civil missions.

Today the extent of crisis and wars are worse than ever. What are the roles of EU and Nato in this situation? Continue reading →

Hintergrund sind Bestrebungen Berlins, eine eigenständige Machtpolitik zu entfalten. So hat die Bundesregierung beispielsweise den NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine verhindert, was … Continue reading →
