Attempting to utilize intelligence within multinational PSOs has created ludicrous situations, such as when Indian Lieutenant-General Satish Nambiar, commanding the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in the former Yugoslavia was denied North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) intelligence being provided to his staff (Smith, 1994). The intelligence-sharing situation was not particularly improved when the Force Command was transferred to NATO’s Lieutenant-General Bernard Janvier from France, because his senior intelligence officer was Colonel Jan-Inge Svensson, from non-NATO Sweden (Svensson, 2002).

Thus, NATO intelligence could not be made available to non-Alliance partners or international organizations involved in peace support missions even in circumstances and situations where there were operational requirements for such sharing (Berlin Information Center for Transatlantic Security, 1994). Some of the high value intelligence products collected by the United States, using its sophisticated surveillance and sensor technologies, were not shared even with some other Alliance-member countries who were partners in NATO-led peace support missions.

Contrasting with the trend in humanitarian intervention, however, will be the declining belief in a common set of human values. We will witness increasingly asserted value-based and cultural variations, such as “Asian Values” or 18 T H E F U T U R E O F M I L I TA RY I N T E L L I G E N C E I N P S O S “Islamic Values” (Falk, 2004). Such differing perceptions between largely Western-driven peace operations and those non-Western countries in which intervention occurs will make the task of intelligence analysis that much more difficult.
