The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the Government of Switzerland wish to invite qualified parties to attend the Protection of Civilians (PoC) Course in 2019.
The changing nature of today’s armed conflicts has resulted in an increased civilian-combatant interface to the extent that contemporary conflicts have been referred to as ‘wars among the people’. Civilian populations bear the greatest brunt of today’s complex and intractable conflicts. This change has necessitated both doctrinal and operational shifts in peace support operations.

The aim of this course is to enhance the capacity of participants for the effective implementation of PoC mandates in Peace Operations on the operational level in order to mitigate the effects of conflicts on civilians.
Selection will strive to achieve gender balance of participants.
