When Nelson Mandela achieved the end of aparthied and the virtual reunification of South Africa, the best and the brightest from the African National Congress (ANC) went into the intelligence field.  Today (2009) the President of Souith Africa, “JZ” Zuma, is himself the former director of intelligence for the ANC when it was in the resistance, and he plans to create a world-class intelligence training program for all African nations at the South African National Academy of  Intelligence (SANAI) which Deputy President Zuma personally re-opened in 2003.  Below are the planned remarks of Mr. Mti, then serving as Coordinator for Intelligence in the Office of the President.

We would never have gotten a Commissioner from the European Union without the help of Madame Judge Danielle Cailloux, investigative judge and lead oversight entrepreneur for the Belgian intelligence community.  Many do not realize that information is like a work of art, and its provenance and security are vital to its INTEGRITY.   Europe has been far ahead of the USA in its mindfulness of the value of regulation that combines integrity and insight.

1998 Politi (IT), Becher (DE) et al, Toward a European Intelligence Policy (Chaillot Paper 34)

Historic Contributions, Policy, White Papers

This is one of the important papers from the 1990's. The European Union (EU) never really got its intelligence act together, and shows no signs of doing so today as this is loaded (2009).  Editor Alessandro Politi coined the term “intelligence minuteman” in 1992, and is one of the leading minds in Europe on intelligence with integrity.

Eventually we must have a global intelligence network and policy, perhaps rooted in a United Nations Open-Source Decision-Support Information Network (UNODIN).

In the meantime, this paper is as good a review as any of why regional intelligence policies matter and are needed.
