03-12-2004-Danish Armed Forces Foreword The overall goal for the Danish Armed Forces c ontinues to b e the preservation of Denmark as a sovereign nation. Defence policy of t oday i s, however, not only a q ue- stion of d efending national territor ies. Modern defence policy has to r eflect a num- ber of d ifferent c onsiderations. International engagement is central to a s uccessful handling of t he security pro- blems and challenges o f the future. Danish security and defence policy is therefore very much characterised and influenced by d evelopments on t he international scene – and Denmark is extensively engaged in both international military crisis manage- ment operations and civil emergency missions all over the world. Today, t he fight against terrorism is one of t he main challenges for the Danish Armed Forces. With the Danish Defence Agreement agreed in 2004 c overing the years 2005-2009, Denmark is doubling its ambition with regards to t he number of D anish troops that can be c ontinuously deployed. The ambition is by 2 009 to b e able to m aintain deployed approximately 2 ,000 t roops or f or s horter periods be a ble to d eploy lar- ger force levels. When this number is compared to t he size of t he Danish popula- tion (5.3 million), Denmark is among one of t he leading countries in the world when it comes t o participation in international operations. Another important aspect of the Defence Agreement is, that a broad majority of t he Danish Parliament is behind the agreement. This gives an optimal foundation for the future development of t he Danish Armed Forces. In this booklet you will find a general introduction to t he Danish Armed Forces w ith a focus on o ur engagements in international activities. I hope t hat you will find the booklet interesting and informative, and that after reading it, you will have a good understanding of w hat are the priorities for the Danish Armed Forces.

The current s ecurity policy situation is characterised by t he lack of a c onventional threat to t he Danish territory i n the foreseeable future. Thus, there is no longer a need for the traditional territorial defence which has been mounted to counteract such a threat. The terrorist attacks of 1 1September 2001 and subsequent terrorist attacks in Europe and other places d emonstrate that the security policy challenges and risks confronting Denmark and other nations have significantly changed. New asymmetric and unpredictable threats, such as inter- national t errorism and the spreading of w eapons of m ass destruction and their means of d elivery, h ave entered the scene. The threats do not have to o riginate f rom Denmark’s geo- graphical proximity, but may constitute a r isk to D enmark, our allies and our common values, even if they mani- fest t hemselves further away. A ccordingly, t he priority of security policy should be a imed at p ossessing the capabi- lity to c ounter the threats where they emerge, regardless of whether this is within or beyond Denmark’s borders. Therefore, Danish Armed Forces - t ogether with other nati- onal institutions - focus on s trengthening the total defence of D enmark and its population and on e nsuring Denmark’s capability to p articipate i n international operations. e. Did you know that? tr Cen NATO i s the cornerstone of D anish security poli- cy, but OSCE and increasingly EU are also relevant Media forums for Danish security policy. The overall fra- and mework for Danish security is based upon the United V Nations. T es rc Fo Armed Danish : to Pho 6 Danish Armed Forces:International Perspectives Danish Armed Forces:International Perspectives 7 Achanging World-Armed Forces in change There is a tradition in Denmark for long-term defence agreements. This means that the budget is agreed upon f or a p eriod of u p to 5 y ears. The defence agreements are normally supported by a b ro- ad majority in the Parliament which give the agreements a degree of r obustness in case of c hanging governments. The newest d efence agreement was agreed on 1 0 June 2004 a nd covers the years 2005-2009. Overall the development of D anish security policy requires t hat the Armed Forces s trengthen their capabilities in two central areas: • Internationally deployable military capabilities • Total Defence, including the ability to c ounter terrorist acts and perform consequence management. The ambition for the Armed Forces i s to m obilise and deploy forces p romptly and flexibly in interna- tional operations and to maintain deployedcapacitiesequaling up to 2,000 personnel (1,500 from the Army and 500 from t he Navy and Air Force). The conscription has been reorganised and targeted on T otal Defence. At t he same time, it will form the basis of r ecruitment into t he Armed Forces a nd contribute t o anchoring the Armed Forces i n the Danish society. The personnel composition is to b e continuously adapted. The Armed Forces’ full-time equivalents are to b e reduced from a pproximately 2 9,000 ( 6,500 o f which are full-time conscript e quivalents) at t he end of 2 004 t o approximately 2 6,400 f ull-time equivalents (2,450 of w hich will be f ull-time conscript e quivalents) by t he end of 2 009. The personnel composition, etc., will be i ndicated in the annual appropriation act. Reserve personnel will continue to b e of g reat s ignificance for the Armed Forces i n relation to i nter- national missions as well as to t he training of m ilitary units and Total Defence. A separate political agreement was entered into b y all political parties in the Folketing on 2 1June e. vic 2002 for emergency management. This four-year agreement outlines the development of t he area, Ser specifying focus, aims and concrete projects. e ar lf We and n tio rma fo In e nc fe De en, asmuss R A. r Pe I r ce fi Of t an rr Wa : 8 Danish Armed Forces:International Perspectives to Pho Danish Armed Forces:International Perspectives 9 Danish Participation in International MilitaryCrisis Management Operations The Danish constitution requires a pproval of t he Danish Parliament (Folketinget) before D anish for- ces are deployed to i nternational operations where the use of f orce i s an option to a ccomplish the mission. Deployment of t he Armed Forces t o international military operations continues to b e one of t he prin- cipal tasks of D anish Defence Policy. United Nations Danish soldiers have been involved in large-scale peacekeeping operations for the United Nations on a n umber of o ccasions. During the decades after World War II Denmark had larger contingents of personnel in Congo, Gaza, and Cyprus. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, Danish forces w ere involved in the United Nations peacekeeping operations in both Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. A significant symbol of t he Danish participa- tion in Bosnia-Herzegovina was the presence of L eopard tanks, which were the heaviest w eapon of UNPROFOR ground troops. Under the auspices o f the United Nations Stand-by High Readiness Brigade (SHIRBRIG) Denmark also deployed in 2000/2001 a peacekeeping force to E thiopia and Eritrea a fter hostilities between the two countries ceased. Since 1948 Denmark has had observers in more t han 20 U nited Nations observer missions. The obser- ver missions are characterized by b eing carried out by n ormally unarmed military personnel whose primary tasks are typically to o bserve and oversee cease-fire agreements. NATO o perations After the Dayton p eace a greement was reached, Denmark contributed with contingents to t he NATO Implementation Force (IFOR) – later the Stabilisation Force (SFOR) – in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The new force had a more r obust mandate t han its United Nations predecessor. Denmark is also contributing a significant number of f orces to t he NATO f orce i n Kosovo (KFOR). The force was deployed in 1999 after NATO a ircrafts – including Danish F-16 fighters – c arried out a 72 day air campaign against the Former Republic of Y ugoslavia. Did you know that? • Since the end of W orld War II Denmark has contributed with more t han 50,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to international operations under the auspices of t he U nited Nations, NATO a nd c oalitions of t he w illing.

    Deterring Wartime Atrocities Deterring Wartime Jacqueline R. Atrocities McAllister Hard Lessons from the Yugoslav Tribunal How can the interna- tional community deter government and rebel forces from committing atroc- ities against civilians? Long after liberated Nazi concentration camp survivors held up the ªrst sign declaring, “Never Again!” civilians have faced genocide during civil wars around the world, from Bangladesh to the former Yugoslavia, and more recently in northern Iraq. Sexual violence, torture, and forced dis- appearances are among the other horrors that civilians continue to endure in wartime. In the 1990s, international ofªcials sought to respond to such suffering by es- tablishing a new generation of wartime international criminal tribunals (ICTs), starting with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 1993. The ICTY paved the way for the establishment of the perma- nent International Criminal Court (ICC) ªve years later. Unlike earlier ICTs in Nuremberg and Tokyo, as well as more recent war crimes tribunals in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, East Timor, Lebanon, Bosnia, and Kosovo, the ICTY and the ICC are mandated to prosecute international criminal law violations committed in the context of active armed conºicts. In granting the ICTY and the ICC such authority, their founders hoped that the tribu- nals would deter combatants in those conºicts from perpetrating violence against civilians.1 Nevertheless, more than twenty-ªve years after the ICTY opened its doors, international justice scholars continue to debate the role of wartime tribunals in deterring atrocities against civilians, particularly in ongoing conºicts. Skep- tics contend that, in the heat of battle, combatants are unlikely to perceive a Jacqueline R.

  • Trine Bramsen Minister of Defence 24 September 2020 Via E
    Trine Bramsen Minister of Defence 24 September 2020 Via e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Minister, Thank you for your letter dated 12 May 2020. I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation and our US affiliate, which has more than 6.5 million members and supporters worldwide. We appreciate that the Danish armed forces have reduced their use of animals for live tissue training (LTT) from 110 animals in 2016 – as reported by the Danish Defence Command on 3 July 2020 pursuant to a citizen's request – to only nine animals in 2020. Considering how few animals have been used for LTT this year and given that a ratio of two to six students per animal (as stated in the new five-year "Militær traumatologi" LTT permit1) amounts to only 18 to 54 personnel undergoing the training this year, there is no significant investment in – or compelling justification for – using animals in LTT. Based on the information presented in this letter, we urge you to immediately suspend all use of animals for LTT while the Danish Armed Forces Medical Command conducts a comprehensive new evaluation of available non-animal trauma training methods to achieve full compliance with Directive 2010/63/EU and, in light of this evaluation, provide a definitive timeline for fully ending the Danish armed forces' use of animals for LTT. Danish Defence Command Does Not Have a List of LTT Simulation Models It Has Reviewed The aforementioned citizen's request asked for the following information: "[a] list of non-animal models that have been reviewed by the Danish Ministry of Defence for live tissue training (otherwise known as LTT or trauma training), with dates indicating when these reviews were conducted, and reasons why these non-animal models were rejected as full replacements to the use of animals for this training".2 1Animal Experiments Inspectorate, Ministry of Environment and Food.

    Larry Hollingworth, current visiting professor of AID MEMOIR Humanitarian Studies at Fordham University in New York City, served as head of the UNHCR’s efforts in Bosnia throughout the lengthy conflict that plagued the former Yugoslavia in the early to mid 90’s. Aid Memoir follows Larry and his UN colleagues throughout multiple efforts to provide much needed relief for besieged, isolated, and desperate communities riddled by senseless killing and aggression. The characters encountered throughout are at times thrilling, at times frightening. Larry spares no details, however troubling, and therefore shines a telling light on the reality of the situation that most will remember to have watched on their television screens. Front cover. During the Siege of Sarajevo, between 1992 and 1995, the city was repeatedly hit by mortar strikes. The craters left behind by these explosions were filled with red resin LARRY HOLLINGWORTH to commemorate the casualties of the attacks.
