Abstract
Fearing a loss of sovereignty, UN member states have historically been hesitant to provide the UN with an intelligence-collection mandate. The increased size, length and complexity of peacekeeping operations, compounded by severe security threats to UN personnel, make a stronger UN intelligence capability in the field increasingly necessary. The article examines the contribution of the UN's Joint Mission Analysis Centre (JMAC) to UN intelligence capabilities and concludes that, in larger missions in particular, the multidisciplinary JMAC structure has delivered valuable intelligence to senior mission management. Nevertheless, in all missions improved information-sharing procedures are necessary to ensure that the JMAC is able to fulfil its intelligence mandate.
