NATO's New Strategic Concept

North Atlantic Treaty Organization | 2009-11-03

"NATO has successfully ensured the freedom of its members and prevented war in Europe during the 40 years of the Cold War. By combining defence with dialogue, it played an indispensable role in bringing East-West confrontation to a peaceful end.

There have, however, been further profound political and security developments since then."
