This tool introduces the reader to the subject of intelligence oversight, providing concise answers to the basic questions of who, what, when, how, and why. It also introduces readers to the other tools in this toolkit on intelligence oversight, which collectively provide more elaborate answers to these and other questions.
The goal of this project is to bring together some of the world’s foremost experts in the field of intelligence oversight and have them present their expertise in a manner comprehensible to non-experts. This toolkit is specifically intended to help readers strengthen their understanding of relevant issues and expose those with oversight-related responsibilities to a variety of comparative perspectives.
This introductory tool begins with an overview of the intelligence oversight process, including descriptions of the institutions involved and of the “intelligence oversight cycle.” Next, it explains why intelligence oversight is important for protecting individuals’ human rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as for increasing their security. The tool then surveys current standards and practices in intelligence oversight, focusing on what most experts consider to be good practices. The tool concludes with recommendations for the strengthening of intelligence oversight.
