On Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 May, the Netherlands Atlantic Association, in cooperation with the Atlantic Treaty Association, organised a conference onNATO’s New Strategic Concept. The conference which was attended by many politicians, diplomats and academics was held with the aim to formulating a framework for a new Strategy for NATO.
The conference was also attended by the Head of Kurdistan Region's Missin to the EU , Mr. Burhan Jaf.
During the first day sessions, Jaf contributed to the panel by raising the issue of Turkey's interventions in the Kurdistan region of Iraq which he described as violations of international law. Furthermore, he talked about the violations of Human Rights during these military operations. In this context, he put forward the questions if these military operations fit into NATO’s strategic framework and whether they contribute to the credibility and the image of NATO in the world.
The present Strategic Concept of NATO dates from 1999. During the NATO summit last month in Strasbourg, leaders of NATO countries stated in the Declaration of Alliance Security, that NATO needs to develop a new Strategic Concept. This new Concept will be approved at the next NATO summit.
