Tasks

The main tasks of CMC Finland are to train and recruit experts for international civilian crisis management and civil protection as well as conduct research focusing on civilian crisis management.

Definition The goal of civilian crisis management is to restore the functioning of society by seconding impartial, non-military expert assistance to crisis areas. Civilian crisis management supports the development of the state’s key societal activities and the strengthening of its vital functions. Civilian crisis management does not only encompass conflict prevention and measures aimed at maintaining peace and stability, but also longer-term interim actions designed to strengthen civil administration, the rule of law, human rights and democracy. The tasks of civilian crisis management range from support, monitoring, advising and training to acting as surrogates for different authorities, such as the police or the judiciary in executive missions.
