United Nations Peacekeeping
Descripción: Protection of United Nations personnel and facilities is one of the three core tasks for the FPUs. This main task can include protection of convoys, relocation or evacuation of staff and intervention where necessary for the protection of staff and in accordance with FPU capabilities.
Close protection and VIP escorts for the benefit of the United Nations, international or national officials have been and are currently provided in several peacekeeping missions.
It appeared that very often, the units were not prepared for this type of mission and were directly involved in operations without any previous experience or competence.
FPU members directly tasked with VIP protection should act according to the UN Manual of Guidance on Protective Services and in close cooperation with UN security/UNDSS representatives. This manual is intended to be a resource for protection officers and to provide a standard terminology and doctrine for such deployments, to ensure a consistently high standard of protective services, including close protection operations, within the United Nations.
