A Strategic Compass for Security and Defence (2022)— The EU's comprehensive strategy to strengthen its security and defense policy. It aims to make the EU a stronger and more capable security provider, able to act rapidly in crises and protect its citizens against a wide range of threats, and is the modern successor to the St. Malo Declaration.
Charter for European Security (1999)— Adopted at the OSCE's Istanbul Summit, this document was a major attempt to adapt the principles of the Helsinki Final Act to the post-Cold War era. It is the primary source for the principle of the 'indivisibility of security,' which is frequently invoked by Russia in its criticisms of NATO.
Joint Declaration on European Defence (St. Malo Declaration)— A 1998 joint declaration by the British and French governments that is considered a key moment in the development of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). It called for the EU to have the capacity for autonomous action, backed by credible military forces, to respond to international crises.
