"Paragraph": "Military personnel possess a wide range of skills and capacities that can contribute to DDR processes in mission and non-mission settings. As outlined in IDDRS 2.10 on the UN Approach to DDR, mission settings are those situations in which peace operations are deployed through peacekeeping operations, political missions and good offices engagements, by the UN or a regional organization. Non-mission settings are those where no peace operation is deployed, either through a peacekeeping operation, political missions or good offices engagements.When DDR is implemented in mission settings with a UN peacekeeping operation, the primary role of the military component should be to provide a secure environment and to observe, monitor and report on security-related issues. This role may include the provision of security to DDR programmes and to DDR-related tools, including pre-DDR. In addition to providing security, military components in mission settings may also provide technical support to disarmament, transitional weapons and ammunition management, and the establishment and maintenance of transitional security arrangements (see IDDRS 4.10 on Disarmament, IDDRS 4.11 on Transitional Weapons and Ammunition Management, and IDDRS 2.20 on The Politics of DDR).To ensure the successful employment of a military component within a mission setting, DDR tasks must be included in endorsed mission operational requirements, include a gender perspective and be specifically mandated and properly resourced. Without the requisite planning and coordination, military logistical capacity cannot be guaranteed.UN military contingents are often absent from special political missions (SPMs) and non-mission settings. In SPMs, UN military personnel will more often consist of military observers (MILOBs) and military advisers.1 These personnel may be able to provide technical advice on a range of security issues in support of DDR processes. They may also be required to build relationships with non-UN military forces mandated to support DDR processes, including national armed forces and regionally- led peace support operations.In non-mission settings, UN or regionally-led peace operations with military components are absent. Instead, national and international military personnel can be mandated to support DDR processes either as part of national armed forces or as part of joint military teams formed through bilateral military cooperation. The roles and responsibilities of these military personnel may be similar to those played by UN military personnel in mission settings.",

"Paragraph": "The objective of this module is to outline possible military contributions to DDR processes in the context of UN peacekeeping operations, special political missions (SPMs) and non-mission settings. Although the guidance in this module is based on the experience of UN military components, it is designed for all military personnel who contribute to DDR processes, irrespective of whether these personnel are affiliated to the UN, regional organizations, joint military teams or national armed forces. The guidance is also designed for civilian DDR practitioners who are interested in the ways that military personnel may be able to support their work. The module discusses the factors to be considered when employing military capacity in support of DDR. Routine military tasks that are carried out according to national security policies and strategies are beyond the scope of this module.",

"Paragraph": "In missions that hold a specific Child Protection/Children and Armed Conflict mandate, child protection is a specified mandated task for the military component. The child protection mandates for missions can include: support to DDR processes, including the effective identification and demobilisation of children, taking into account the specific concerns of girls and boys; a requirement to monitor and report on the Six Grave Violations against children, namely, recruitment and use of children, killing and maiming, sexual violence against children, abduction, attacks on schools and hospitals and denial of humanitarian access; and/or a requirement for the mission to work closely with the government or armed groups to adopt and implement measures to protect children including Action Plans to end and prevent grave violations.. The tasks of the military component, in close coordination with mission child protection advisors, therefore include, but are not limited to: providing physical protection for children; gathering and sharing information through the military chain of command and child protection advisors on the Six Grave Violations; supporting the separation of children from armed forces and groups, including their handover to civilian child protection actors; and providing security for Child Protection Advisers or civil society actors when they visit the military barracks of armed forces/armed groups. Child protection shall be integrated into all military work, including when UN civilian and military personnel undertake mentoring and advisory activities and build the capacity of State armed forces in conflict affected countries.The military component shall ensure that gender-responsive child protection is understood by all members of the force and those persons working with military personnel through in-mission induction briefings and ongoing training on child protection. Child protection shall also be mainstreamed into daily operations and, in particular, into protection activities. Commanders, staff and associated personnel at all levels should ensure that threats to and from children and their vulnerabilities are identified, and that plans and orders are developed to provide effective protection on the ground, working in concert with mission child protection advisers, other protection partners and local communities. These plans should include a gender perspective in order to recognise the different threats to, and protection concerns of, girls and boys.A military child protection focal point network shall be implemented at the operational and tactical levels to ensure that child protection concerns are considered at all stages of the planning process and in operational activities. The military component shall appoint a military child protection focal point at mission headquarters as well as child protection focal points within Battalion/Company Headquarters.Child protection and child rights shall be included not only in military training but in standard operating procedures as well as in military guidance as appropriate. Force commanders and tactical level commanders, in consultation with mission child protection actors, shall issue specific guidance on child protection in the format of a Force Directive on Child Protection and tactical level SOPs. Specific SOPs and/or protocols shall be developed on the handover to civilian child protection actors of children captured in operations, those who surrender to the peacekeeping force, or those released en masse. Specific gender-responsive guidelines shall also be developed for the battalion on child protection concerns for girls and boys, including detention, conduct during interaction with children, and prevention of all forms of exploitation against children, including child labour, sexual exploitation and abuse, and protection of civilians. Whenever orders are written, or an activity planned, military staff should always consider the impact on girls and boys and their protection, and always consult mission child protection advisers. All SOPs and guidelines shall include a gender perspective in order for practitioners to develop fully gender-responsive plans that meet the differing needs of girls and boys. For further guidance, refer to the UN\u2019s Military Specialised Training Materials on Child Protection.2",

"Paragraph": "Since the adoption in 2000 of Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security, there have been numerous resolutions and calls for more women in peacekeeping. Under the 2018 Action for Peace (A4P) initiative, Member States commit themselves to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women in all stages of the peace process by systematically integrating a gender perspective into all stages of analysis, planning, implementation and reporting. They further commit to increase the number of civilian and uniformed women in peacekeeping at all levels and in key positions. The Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy 2018\u20142028 calls for 15 % female representation in the contingent unit and 25% in individual positions.The meaningful participation of women as peacekeepers, MILOBs, and staff officers has a number of benefits to the DDR process. Female military personnel can access populations and venues that are closed to men. They can search women when necessary and can help to make peacekeeping forces more approachable to local communities, particularly to women and girls who may have suffered acts of sexual violence. Lastly, female military personnel are role models in the communities in which they serve and in their respective countries. For these reasons, the planning phase of any operation must include a gender perspective, and the gender composition of incoming forces should reflect the community it is mandated to protect.UNSCR 1325 stipulates that all peacekeeping personnel shall receive training on \u201cthe protection, rights and the particular needs of women, as well as on the importance of involving women in all peacekeeping and peacebuilding measures\u201d. All incoming forces shall also receive training on gender and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, particularly the UN\u2019s Zero Tolerance Policy.",

Each peacekeeping operation has a military component specifically designed to fulfil the mandate and operational requirement of the mission.Early and comprehensive DDR planning will ensure that appropriately trained and equipped units are available to support DDR. As military resources and assets for peace operations are limited, and often provided for multiple purposes, it is important to identify specific DDR tasks that are to be carried out by the military at an early stage in the mission-planning process. These tasks will be different from the generic tasks usually captured in Statement of Unit Requirements. If any specific DDR-related tasks are identified during the planning phase, they must be specified in the Statement of Unit Requirements of the concerned unit(s).",

This may include the provision of security to areas in which DDR programmes and DDR-related tools (including pre-DDR and community violence reduction) are being implemented. Military components may also provide security to DDR and child protection practitioners, and to those participating in DDR processes, including children and dependants. This may include the provision of security to routes that participants will use to enter DDR and/or the provision of military escorts. Security is provided primarily by armed UN troops, but could be supplemented by the State\u2019s defence security forces and/or any other security provider.Finally, military components may also secure the collection, transportation and storage of weapons and ammunition handed in as part of a DDR process. They may also monitor and report on security-related issues, including incidents of sexual and gender-based violence.

Disarmament typically involves the collection, documentation (registration), identification, storage, and disposal (including destruction) of conventional arms and ammunition (see IDDRS 4.10 on Disarmament). Depending on the methods agreed in peace agreements and plans for future national security forces, weapons and ammunition will either be destroyed or safely and securely managed. Military components can therefore assist in performing the following disarmament-related tasks, which should include a gender-perspective in their planning and execution: \\n Monitoring the separation of forces. \\n Monitoring troop withdrawal from agreed-upon areas. \\n Manning reception centres. \\n Undertaking identification and physical checks of weapons. \\n Collection, registration and identification of weapons, ammunition and explosives. \\n Registration of male and female ex-combatants and associated groups.Not all military units possess the requisite capabilities to support the disarmament component of a DDR programme. Early and comprehensive planning should identify whether this is a requirement, and units/capabilities should be generated accordingly. For example, the collection of unused landmines may constitute a component of disarmament and requires military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) units. The destruction and disposal of ammunition and explosives is also a highly specialized process and shall only be conducted by specially trained EOD military personnel in coordination with the DDR component of the mission. When the military is receiving weapons, it is important that both male and female soldiers participate in the process, particularly if it is necessary to search former combatants and persons formerly associated with armed forces and groups.",

The military component can seek information on the following: \\n The locations, sex- and age-disaggregated troop strengths, and intentions of former combatants or associated groups, who may or will become part of a DDR process. \\n Estimates of the number/type of weapons and ammunition expected to be collected/stored during a DDR process, including those held by women and children. As accurate estimates may be difficult to achieve, planning for disarmament and broader transitional WAM must include some flexibility. \\n Sex- and age-disaggregated estimates of non-combatants associated with the armed forces, including women, children, and elderly or wounded/disabled people. Their roles and responsibilities should also be identified, particularly if human trafficking, slavery, and/or sexual and gender-based violence is suspected. \\n Information from UN system organizations, NGOs, and women\u2019s and youth groups. \\n\\n The information-gathering process can be a specific task of the military component, but it can also be a by-product of its normal operations, e.g., information gathered by patrols and the activities of MILOBs. Previous experience has shown that the leaders of armed groups often withhold or distort information related to DDR, particularly when communicating with the rank and file. Military components can be used to detect whether this is happening and can assist in dealing with this challenge as part of the public information and sensitization campaigns associated with DDR (see IDDRS 4.60 on Public Information and Strategic Communication in Support of DDR).The military component can assist dedicated mission DDR staff by monitoring and reporting on progress. This work must be managed by the DDR staff in conjunction with the JOC.",

If DDR is required, TCCs can be provided with advice on the preparation of DDR activities during AAVs.

AAVs also support those Member States that are contributing a new capability in UN peace operations with guidance on specific UN requirements and assist them in meeting those requirements. Finally, preparedness for DDR is a responsibility of TCCs with UNHQ guidance. During pre-deployment visits, preparedness for DDR can be evaluated/assessed.For the military component, DDR planning is not very different from planning related to other military tasks in UN peace operations.

This agreement may stipulate that vetted former members of armed forces and groups are to be integrated into the national armed forces, police, gendarmerie or other uniformed services. In some DDR-SSR processes, the reform of the security sector may also lead to the discharge of members of the armed forces for reintegration into civilian life. Dependant on the DDR-SSR agreement in place, these individuals can be given the option of benefiting from reintegration support.The modalities of integration into the security sector can be outlined in technical agreements and/or in protocols on defence and security. National legislation regulating the security sector may also need to be adjusted through the passage of laws and decrees in line with the peace agreement. At a minimum, the institutional and legal framework for SSR shall provide: \\n An agreement on the number of former members of armed groups for integration into the security sector; \\n Clear vetting criteria, in particular a process shall be in place to ensure that individuals who have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, terrorist offences or human rights violations are not eligible for integration; in addition, due diligence measures shall be taken to ensure that children are not recruited into the military; \\n A clear framework to establish a policy and ensure implementation of appropriate training on relevant legal and regulatory instruments applicable to the security sector, including a code of conduct; \\n A clear and transparent policy for rank harmonization.DDR planning and management should be closely linked to SSR planning and management. Although international engagement with SSR is often provided through bilateral cooperation agreements, between the State carrying out SSR and the State(s) providing support, UN entities may provide SSR support upon request of the parties concerned, including by participating in reviews that lead to the rightsizing of the security sector in conflict-affected countries. Military personnel supporting DDR processes may also engage with external actors in order to contribute to coherent and interconnected DDR and SSR efforts, and may provide tactical, strategic and operational advice on the reform of the armed forces.For further information on vetting and the integration of armed forces and groups in the security sector, see IDDRS 6.10 on DDR and Security Sector Reform.",
