il y a 3 semaines
**1. SUMMARY**
The Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy leads the Political Affairs and Security Policy Division. Within the NATO International Staff, the Assistant Secretary General (ASG) is responsible for the policy development of NATO’s partnerships, as well as advising on the political aspects of NATO's security tasks. The Assistant Secretary General (ASG) reports directly to the Secretary General of NATO and advises the Secretary General on Political Affairs and Security Policy issues.
PASP’s broad portfolio is covering the following principal matters:
- General political affairs within NATO;
- Building relationships with:
- partners in Eastern and South Eastern Europe, including Ukraine;
- international organisations and institutions, in particular with the European Union, the United Nations, and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe;
- other Partnership for Peace countries;
- Mediterranean Dialogue and Istanbul Cooperation Initiative partners from the Middle East and North Africa;
- Partners across the globe - which includes Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mongolia, and Colombia;
- NATO’s Enlargement Policy;
- NATO’s policy with regard to Russia;
- Arms Control, disarmament, and non-proliferation policy.
The ASG will manage the Division (presently approximately 75 staff members, including staff members deployed in NATO’s Liaison Offices abroad) and will be supported by a Deputy.
There are eight ASGs, all of whom report to the NATO Secretary General and are also accountable to the North Atlantic Council. As a member of the Organization’s senior management, each ASG is also expected to contribute to overall policy development and delivery, including in areas beyond their direct set of responsibilities.
