2020.05 Acquisition of Information from Human Sources for Peacekeeping-Intelligence (HPKI) (Guideline)

Abstract

The purpose of these Guidelines is both to provide a legal and operational framework for and to facilitate the safe acquisition of information from human sources for peacekeeping-intelligence (thereafter “HPKI”). These Guidelines are part of the Peacekeeping-Intelligence Framework and should be read in conjunction with the DPO Policy on Peacekeeping-Intelligence1 (hereafter “the Policy”). Neither these guidelines nor the Policy provide any type of training. These guidelines do not apply to the questioning of detained or captured persons, which is regulated by other SOPs.
