Security Policy
Regardless of the politically advantageous changes in the past few years, Germany's security environment is not free from military and non-military risks jeopardizing and threatening its security and stability. The primary goal of Germanys security policy is to ensure the safety and protection of its citizens.
Shoulder to shoulder with their fellow soldiers from many nations, Bundeswehr servicemen and women are serving on missions from the Balkans to Afghanistan. An overview:
NATO links Europe's security to that of North America. The solidarity within the Alliance guarantees that it is in the common interest to protect the freedom and security of every single member.
Together with its partners, the Bundeswehr intends to find new answers to the threat situation of the 21st century.
The Federal Government's present disarmament policy is to ensure the non-proliferation of weapons and means of mass destruction, to extend the international arms control system and to stabilise confidence building between governments.
