for the Australian Defence Force, AusAID, the Department of Foreign

and agencies likely to be called on to assist a peacekeeping operation,
with particular reference to:

the policy framework,
procedures and protocols that govern the Government’s decision to
participate in a peacekeeping operation, for determining the conditions
of engagement and for ceasing to participate;
-
the training and
preparedness of Australians likely to participate in a peacekeeping
operation;
-
the coordination of
Australia’s contribution to a peacekeeping operation among Australian
agencies and also with the United Nations and other relevant countries;
and

lessons learnt from
recent participation in peacekeeping operations that would assist
government to prepare for future operations.
