Once the Chamber of Deputies passes the reform on foreign missions, all missions will first require a debate in parliament and the minister will have to provide updates every three months.
In the future, there would also be more of an emphasis on civil missions, rather than military interventions at a point in time often considered too late. Instead, Luxembourg's policy would shift to preventatively handling situations, in line with the traditionally-peaceful Green philosophy.
Stéphanie Empain, Green MP, added that this would not be mixing up civil and military missions, but that civil missions would be deployed to prevent crises. The reform on the foreign mission law is a clear acknowledgement and shift towards multilaterialism, the notion of an alliance of multiple countries pursuing a common goal. New decision mechanisms would also allow the country to offer a contingent available to be deployed within a few days of NATO and EU operations.
