Join Major Alex Belin, Lieutenant Colonel Rhonda Brunsting, and Mr. Guillaume Darme in a conversation about peacekeeping-intelligence in an increasingly complex world.
 
Peacekeeping-intelligence involves acquiring, processing and analyzing information to enable missions to enhance the safety and security of UN personnel and inform operations related to the protection of civilians. It enables missions to better understand their operating environments and contexts, maintain a strategic overview of developments, and predict specific threats and opportunities to enable peacekeepers to effectively execute their mandates. In this conversation, the three panelists will discuss Peacekeeping-Intelligence operations across the world alongside growing complexities on the international stage.
 
Doors to the Roof will open at 6:30pm for a reception.
The panel will begin discussion at 7:00pm with opportunities for Q&A.
