Doctrine Development and Standards
The regulatory framework governing NATO operations is shaped by a complex interplay between NATO’s internal regulations, European Union (EU) legislation, and the national laws of its member states. As NATO continues to evolve in response to emerging global security challenges, the alignment of its policies with the legal frameworks of individual member nations and the EU is crucial for the seamless implementation of defence strategies, cooperation agreements, and military operations. This document aims to explore the interactions and relationships between NATO regulations and those of the EU and member states, highlighting areas of convergence, conflict, and cooperation. By understanding these dynamics, policymakers and military leaders can better navigate the regulatory landscape to ensure that NATO’s collective defence objectives are met within the boundaries of applicable legal frameworks.
