Experts set out recommendations for future NATO strategy

Albright report strongly backs NATO involvement in territorial missile defence and calls for guidelines for future missions abroad

A 12-person Group of Experts headed by former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright yesterday presented their analysis and recommendations to Alliance ambassadors. Appointed by Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to lay the groundwork for the development of a new strategic doctrine for NATO, the Expert Group report describes the Alliance as “as an essential source of stability in an uncertain and unpredictable World”. Over the next decade the Experts expect NATO to be “tested by the emergence of new dangers, the many-sided demands of complex operations, and the challenge of organising itself efficiently in an era where rapid responses are vital, versatility critical, and resources tight”.
