Over the last decade the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP), as an integral part of Common Foreign & Security Policy (CFSP), has grown in experience and capability with over 20 MISSIONS DEPLOYED in response to crises. (Ex post tsunami peace building in Aceh & protecting refugees in Chad) EU countries must abide by fundamental principles of the UN Charter & OSCE principles and commitments. Sovereignty, independence & territorial integrity of states & peaceful settlements of disputes are NOT negotiable. At global level – Europe most lead a renewal of multilateral order
