“…This is also increasingly recognized within the UN. Intelligence was a taboo subject within the UN for a long time, but following the suicide bombing of a UN compound in Bagdad on 19 August 2003 -which killed at least 22 people, including the United Nations' Special Representative in Iraq -the use of intelligence became more acceptable (Dorn 2009;Norheim-Martinsen and Ravndal 2011). Martti Ahtisaari concluded in a report that assed the circumstances surrounding this bombing that: The UN security system failed adequately to analyze and utilize information made available to the system on threats against UN staff and premises.…”

The UN is becoming increasingly data-driven. Until recently, data-driven initiatives have mainly been led by individual UN field missions, but with António Guterres, the new Secretary-General, a more centralized approach is being embarked on. With a trend towards the use of data to support the work of UN staff, the UN is likely to soon rely on systematic data analysis to draw patterns from the information that is gathered in and across UN field missions. This paper is based on UN peacekeeping data from the Joint Mission Analysis Centre (JMAC) in Darfur, and draws on interviews conducted in New York, Mali and Sudan. It will explore the practical and ethical implications of systematic data analysis in UN field missions. Systematic data analysis can help the leadership of field missions to decide where to deploy troops to protect civilians, guide conflict prevention efforts and help preempt threats to the mission itself. However, predictive analysis in UN peace operations will only be beneficial if it also leads to early action. Finally, predictive peacekeeping will not only be demanding of resources, it will also include ethical challenges on issues such as data privacy and the risk of reidentification of informants or other potentially vulnerable people.

“…Početak doktrinarne i operativne konkretizacije obaveštajne delatnosti u UN dešava se relativno skoro, tek 2006. godine, kada DPKO kreira u nizu mirovnih operacija, dakle taktičkom nivou, združene analitičke centre, "Joint Mission Analysis Centre" (JMAC), koji će biti u stanju da direkciono i kontinuirano prikupljaju i obrađuju informacije od kritičnog značaja, te izrađuju sveobuhvatne analitičke proizvode radi podrške, planiranja aktivnosti mirovnih operacija i donošenja odluka. 7 Iako predmetna direktiva DPKO iz 2006. godine izbegava upotrebu termina "intelligence", napredak u ovoj oblasti postaje sve očigledniji, jer DPKO već naredne godine formira u sedištu organizacije UN tim za stratešku analitiku, "Research and Liaison Unit" (RLU), a 2010. godine i drugi tim slične namene -"Assessment Team" 8 (AT).…”

“…Blatant failures and an improved understanding that the success of UN peacekeeping and other multilateral military missions does require the collection and dissemination of intelligence have led to a change in attitude (see, e.g., Dorn 2010;Cammaert 2003;Norheim-Martinsen and Ravndal 2011;Barry 2012). Steps have been taken to ensure that intelligence is shared more easily without compromising collection methods or sources.…”
