INSTRUMENT FOR
STABILITY
2014-2020
GLOBAL EUROPE
This project is funded by the European Union
A project implemented by the HTSPE consortium
OBJECTIVES
Instrument for Stability is designed to provide an adequate response to
instability and crises and to longer term challenges with a stability or security
aspect.
The Instrument for Stability will be an effective, immediate and integrated
response to situations of crisis and instability in third countries.
The specific aims of this Regulation shall be:
• in a situation of crisis or emerging crisis, to swiftly contribute to stability
by providing an effective response to help preserve, establish or reestablish the conditions essential to the proper implementation of the
Union's development and cooperation policies;
• to prevent conflicts, ensure preparedness to address pre- and postcrisis situations and build peace;
• to address specific global and trans-regional threats having a
destabilising effect, including climate change.
This project is funded by the European Union
A project implemented by the HTSPE consortium
OBJECTIVES
• Address global and regional trans-border challenges with a security or
stability dimension arising in third countries, including issues such as
nuclear safety, as well as the fight against trafficking, organised crime
and terrorism and unforeseen major threats to public health In addition,
some of the most critical security challenges have a worldwide scope,
impacting on both developing and industrialized countries. Natural and
man-made disasters, cyber security challenges and threats and related
disruptions increase insecurity, hamper development, weaken the rule
of law and contribute to instability.
• Enable the Community to deliver a timely response to future urgent
policy challenges faced by the Union, by piloting measures unforeseen
under the three policy-driven instruments, until such time as they can
adequately be integrated within the policy framework of those
instruments

contribute to stability by providing an effective response to help preserve, establish or re-establish
the conditions essential to the proper implementation of the Union’s development and cooperation

conflicts, build peace and address pre- and post-crisis situations in close coordination with
international, regional and sub-regional organisations, state and non state actors.
Specific objective No 3 .- Global and trans-regional threats
To address global and trans-regional security threats that pose a risk to peace and stability. will
concentrate on main areas such as: organised crime (including the drugs trafficking routes and
illegal trafficking of human beings), countering terrorism, and actions against the spread of
Weapons of Mass Destruction. Increased priority will be given to the security of critical
infrastructure - maritime routes, airport security and energy security. Cybercrime constitutes a high
security challenge, for which projects have been developed since 2013. The actions on Chemical,
Biological, Radiological or Nuclear (CBRN) risk mitigation will continue through the CBRN Centres
of Excellence in 8 regions, as well as creation of CBRN teams in all countries involved.
