EU strategic compass for security and defence

Summary/Abstract: Faced with major geopolitical changes, various types of hybrid threats, numerous attempts at economic and energy coercion, climate change and, above all, the reversal of the policy of force in international relations manifested in the latest Ukrainian crisis, which seriously jeopardised European security and peace, оn March 23, 2022,the European Union adopted the ˮStrategic Compass for Security and Defence” – a strategic document that for the first time contains a common vision and detailed goals for the defence of the European order. With this document, the member states of the European Union have identified four priority areas related to 1) Action (independently or in coalition), in terms of fulfilling obligations under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP); 2) Security, which includes taking security measures to improve defence capabilities and anticipate various forms of threats from the sea, air and space, as well as cyberspace; 3) Investments, aimed at financial contributions in new technologies to improve defence capabilities, and 4) Partnerships, to overcome common threats and challenges, first by strengthening strategic ties with NATO and the UN, then with regional partners such as the OSCE, the African Union and the ASEAN, as well as through the improvement of bilateral relations with the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Norway and Japan, but also with other partner countries. Following the stated priorities and taking into account the current crisis in Ukraine, as well as negative geopolitical trends in the world, the EU adopted the Strategic Compass as a longterm action plan that should ensure its own security, in order to preserve international peace and security.
