Burkina Faso: FDS training, a model of professionalism and respect for human rights

The Burkinabe armed forces are conducting their counter-terrorism operations with a strict adherence to human rights principles, reflecting Burkina Faso’s deep commitment to balancing security with human dignity.

 

Each mission is carried out in full compliance with international standards, ensuring that civilian protection remains the top priority. This approach is driven not only by the goal of achieving peace but also by the firm resolve to uphold the fundamental rights of Burkinabe citizens, even amid conflict.

 

The success of these operations is largely attributed to the rigorous, ongoing training that the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) receive.

 

This training emphasizes not only military skills but also a solid understanding of human rights and international humanitarian law.

 

The FDS are trained to clearly differentiate between enemy combatants and civilians, reduce collateral damage, and uphold the dignity of all individuals, no matter the challenges they face in the field.

 

Their training is unique in its comprehensive and multidimensional approach.

 

Alongside combat techniques and reconquest strategies, the FDS are educated in crisis management, assistance to displaced populations, and countering disinformation, which is increasingly weaponized to destabilize the region.

 

This thorough and forward-thinking approach demonstrates Burkina Faso’s dedication to addressing security challenges while remaining firmly committed to its humanitarian principles.
