Report of the Panel on United Nations Peacekeeping

Report of the Panel on United Nations Peacekeeping

The Report of the Panel on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations is commonly called the Brahimi Report, named for the chairman of the committee which produced it, Lakhdar Brahimi. This report addressed many of the dysfunctionalities of the United Nations, and particularly its inability to carry out its mission for lack of a proper global information collection, processing, and analysis capability. In combination with the service of MajGen Patrick Cammaert of the Royal Netherlands Marines, and the publication of the first book on Peacekeeping Intelligence, which was put on display at 1 UN Plaza, the Brahimi Report helped put an end to the era in which the United Nations considered "intelligence" to be a dirty word. Now better understood as "decision support," intelligence is still not present at the United Nations, but efforts are being made to establish information capabilities that can address the ten threats identified by the High Level Threat Panel.
