NATO Building Integrity - Governance and Institutions

Transparent and accountable defence institutions under democratic control are fundamental to stability in the Euro-Atlantic area and beyond, and are essential for international security cooperation. Within the framework of the Building Integrity (BI) Policy and Action Plan, BI works to support NATO as an organisation, Allies and partner countries to promote good governance and implement the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability, in the defence and related security sector. NATO BI contributes to the three core NATO tasks: collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security.
