Summary

The bill decides on the participation of up to 10 Estonian Defense Forces in the US-led international military operation Inherent Resolve against Daesh/ISIL. The US-led international military operation against Daesh/ISIL, Inherent Resolve, was launched on June 15, 2014. 21 other countries are participating in the operation: United Arab Emirates, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Jordan, Canada, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, France, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Turkey, Hungary, New Zealand and UK. The terrorist organization Daesh, which operates mainly in Syria and Iraq, poses a serious threat to global security, including a real threat to Europe's internal security. The activities of Daesh in Syria and Iraq have a direct impact on the number of people in need of international protection in the region and thus on the refugee crisis in Europe. Daesh also recruits fighters from Europe, who after fighting and training in the Middle East, may in turn threaten local security when they return. The attacks in Paris and Brussels were carried out in the name of Daesh and were carried out using terrorists from Europe. Estonia has previously directed financial aid to help Iraqi refugees and donated weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi security forces. The aim of the operation is direct and supportive military action against Daesh, primarily in Iraq and Syria, but the leading and supporting elements and staffs of the operation are also located in Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. One of the important tasks of the operation is the training of the Iraqi security forces. Estonia initially plans to contribute by sending up to 6 infantry instructors to Iraq, where they will train the Iraqi security forces in cooperation with the defense forces of Denmark, the USA, Latvia, and other countries. units. If necessary, within the framework of the given mandate, Estonia will participate primarily with staff officers.
