Civil-military coordination and UN peacebuilding operations : feature

Most of the literature dealing with civil-military coordination (CIMIC) has been concerned with the relationship between humanitarian actors and their military counterparts. In the United Nations (UN) peace operations context, however, the humanitarian-military interface is only one of several civil-military relationships. Many other civil-military relationships, such as those among the military and human rights officers, electoral advisors, disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) coordinators and development workers, continue throughout the life of a peace operation.
