This paper argues that the UN should create a tailored form of intelligence gathering for its peace operations. As the text’s authors see it, the traditional military definition of intelligence, which focuses on serving national interests and operating against a clearly defined adversary, just doesn’t apply to peace-centered efforts. Given this truth, the authors explore what a UN-specific approach to intelligence might look like, including its needs and requirements, analytical capabilities, necessary structures, and possible limitations.
