Iraq

In Iraq, the Stabilisation Unit have seconded 5 UK secondees (DCEs and a serving police officer) working for the EUJUSTLEX Mission. These secondees are collectively located in Baghdad, Erbil and Brussels.

Previously, the Stabilisation Unit has been involved in supporting Basra Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) through provision of its first three team leaders, and advice and reviews.  Now that the Basra PRT has been handed over to the US, and relations between the UK and Iraq move towards a more normal bilateral relationship, the Stabilisation Unit's remaining involvement in Iraq is to conduct reviews of programmes on behalf of its parent departments, for example the review of the Ministry of Interior and Iraqi Police Service capacity building programme in November 2009.
