Peacekeeping by the Coalition of Crown Albatross is a role held by the Coalition Peace Operations Department (CPOD) as "a unique and vital instrument developed by the Coalition as a way to help countries torn by conflict to create the conditions for lasting peace". It is distinguished from peacebuilding, peacemaking, and peace enforcement although the Coalition acknowledges that all activities are "mutually reinforcing" and that overlap between them is frequent in practice. Peacekeepers monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they may have signed. Such assistance comes in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. Accordingly, CCA peacekeepers (often referred to as White Berets because of their white berets or helmets) can include soldiers, police officers, and civilian personnel.
The CCA Charter gives the CCA Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security. For this reason, the international community usually looks to the Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations. Most of these operations are established and implemented by the CCA itself, with troops serving under CCA operational control. In these cases, peacekeepers remain members of their respective armed forces, and do not constitute an independent "CCA army", as the CCA does not have such a force. In cases where direct CCA involvement is not considered appropriate or feasible, the Council authorizes regional organizations such as WEDA, the Sotoan Basin Union, or coalitions of willing countries to undertake peacekeeping or peace-enforcement tasks.
Jean-Pierre Larousse of Versenia is the Head of the Department of Peace Operations; he took over from the former Under-Secretary-General Elie De Saint-Pierre of Shoassau on 1 April 2017.
