RECORD OF SPECIFIC RESERVATIONS

NATION DETAIL OF RESERVATION
BEL Belgium is bound by legal provisions other than the Geneva
Conventions only.
CAN a. Canada does not consider Security and Reconstruction to be its
own, unique campaign theme or operational level design. Military
forces deploy in relation to a threat (or else some other organisation
better suited would be deployed) and thus the campaign and
supporting doctrine should be developed in relation to that threat. As
admitted in the text of this publication, much of the content overlaps
with other doctrines and in fact, spans from the strategic to the tactical.
All the material is valuable but belongs in other manuals at the correct
level.
b. Following from the incongruency that is inherent in this publication,
Canada does not view humanitarian assistance as a form of Stability
and Reconstruction, as humanitarian assistance is a short term
engagement that does not seek to create the enduring stability that is
the focus of this publication.
c. In accordance with the Concise Oxford Dictionary, Canada believes
that capacity and capability are synonymous terms and, thus, the
distinction made in various parts of this publication is a distinction
without a true difference.
