NOUL CONCEPT STRATEGIC PENTRU APĂRARE SI SECURITATE AL NATO, ADOPTAT LA LISABONA, ÎN LUNA NOIEMBRIE 2010
THE NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT FOR THE DEFENCE AND SECURITY OF THE NATO, ADOPTED IN LISBON, IN NOVEMBER 2010

Summary/Abstract: The Heads of State and Government of the NATO nations decided to fulfill the Alliance’s mission in ensuring their „common defense and security”. When NATO will put into practice this Strategic Concept, the Alliance will be more „effective in a changing world, against new threats, with new capabilities and new partners”. This Concept reconfirms the bond between NATO nations to defend one another against attack, and against new threats and „to keep the door to NATO open” to all European states „that meet the standards of membership”, because enlargement contributes to Alliance’s „goal of a United Europe, free and at peace”. The Concept „commits the Alliance to prevent crises, manage conflicts and stabilize post conflict situations”, (including by working more closely with the United Nations the European Union and the other NATO partners) and „to continuous reform towards a more effective, efficient and flexible Alliance” so that NATO citizens get the best security as well „to the goal of creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons” (as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance). The Alliance offers their partners „more political engagement with the Alliance, and a substantial role in shaping the NATO-led operations”. NATO’s essential mission is always the same: to ensure that the Alliance remains a unique Organization of freedom, peace, security and shared values.
