The Alliance has the capacity to contribute to effective actions by
the CSCE in line with its new and increased responsibilities for crisis
management and the peaceful settlement of disputes. In this regard, we
are prepared to support, on a case-by-case basis in accordance with our
own procedures, peacekeeping activities under the responsibility of the
CSCE, including by making available Alliance resources and expertise. We
have asked the Council in Permanent Session to address, with the advice
of the NATO Military Authorities, the practical options and modalities
by which such support might be provided. This will be done without prejudice
to possible contributions by other CSCE countries and other organisations
to these operations.
