Position paper published by the FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag on the future of NATO
NATO is the most successful security alliance in history. It has always seen itself as a political alliance; its military capabilities were never an end in themselves – they were always intended to achieve peaceful political goals. The political dimension of these capabilities always also included providing peaceful solutions to conflicts and, in particular, confidence building, disarmament and arms control.
NATO has proved itself to be a strong and wholly reliable link between the free rule-of-law democracies in the North-Atlantic region and, thus, as an alliance of values for the European and American partners.
Ever since the Harmel report in the 1960s, Nato has had a dual character. On the one hand, it is able to offer an attractive and credible spectrum of measures in the areas of confidence-building, disarmament and peaceful conflict resolution. On the other hand, it impressively demonstrates the Member States' capacity and determination to show solidarity to each other in defending their freedom against any kind of aggression. Even against the background of the new threats this continues to apply.
The FDP believes that, even after its greatest success - the peaceful overcoming of the division of Germany and Europe – the continued existence of this alliance should not be called into question. Quite the contrary, in fact:

FDP motion
The German Bundestag notes:
A long-term strategy for Kosovo is essential in the interests of stabilising the Balkan region as a whole. As the Security Strategy adopted by the European Union emphasises, it is in the EU's vital interest that the countries in its neighbourhood are stable and well- governed. The Balkan region is part of Europe, and Europe therefore has an obligation to intensify its commitment here.
After the acute conflict was ended through NATO intervention in 1999, the United Nations (UN) assumed responsibility for the crisis region in what was then the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) was mandated to establish the bases for a democratic and multiethnic future for Kosovo. Under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244, security in Kosovo is maintained by the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR). UNMIK has established four "pillars", each headed by an international organisation. Pillar 1 (Police and Justice) and Pillar 2 (Civil Administration) were taken over directly by the UN. The OSCE is responsible for Pillar 3 (Institution Building), while the EU deals with Pillar 4 (Reconstruction and Economic Development). The issue of Kosovo's final status under international law remains unresolved. Under Security Council Resolution 1244, UNMIK's mandate, while taking full account of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, is to facilitate a political process designed to determine Kosovo's future status.
