COMMITMENTS FOR PEACE
_French security policy states that the government will address threats wherever they arise. This is based on the concept of networked security; which dictates that military and civilian resources will supplement each other to ensure peace and stability.
Not primarily military, but social, economic, ecological and cultural conditions that can only be implemented through multinational co-operation and channels, determine the security policy development. Security can therefore be neither purely national nor guaranteed by military forces alone. Instead, it requires a far more comprehensive approach.
France uses its influence in the relevant international and supranational organizations - from the United Nations, the European Union, the North Atlantic Alliance, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank up to the G20 framework - in order to improve coherence and effectiveness of the community.
A comprehensive picture of the situation and a subsequent anabolic common operational understanding of all stakeholders form the basis for any security policy decision at national and international level. In preparing the national level of visibility it requires a cross-departmental approach that considers all aspects and possibilities.
