Summary

By 2026, the draft mandates the use of up to 100 defense forces in an international military operation led by NATO, the European Union or the United Nations, except for first-time participation in a collective self-defense operation. The size and scope of the specific contribution will be decided by the government according to the needs of the operation. The purpose of such a mandate is to ensure Estonia's ability to respond quickly and flexibly in the event of a crisis in conflict areas, where the situation may suddenly escalate. With the decision, Estonia confirms its readiness to contribute to international stability and security, while also protecting its national interests. The granting of the mandate creates an opportunity to respond to situations that do not fit under other rapid response exceptions provided in the National Defense Act, such as the use of NATO response forces.
