"The aim of the present Guidelines on the Use of Military and Civil Defence Assets in Disaster Relief (hereinafter referred to as "Oslo Guidelines") is to establish the basic framework for formalizing and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of foreign military and civil defence assets in international disaster relief operations. The "Oslo Guidelines" address the use of MCDA following natural, technological and environmental emergencies in times of peace. The principles, mechanisms and procedures concerning military forces participating in peacekeeping operations or the delivery of humanitarian assistance in situations of armed conflict are not encompassed by this document. The use of MCDA in armed conflict situations is covered in the "Guidelines On The Use of Military and Civil Defence Assets To Support United Nations Humanitarian Activities in Complex Emergencies" ("MCDA Guidelines" - March 2003)." -- p. 4.
