Overview
Every day, millions of people live under the shadow of war, in territories where peace seems a utopia. But peace cannot be improvised: it is built through commitment, perseverance and diplomatic effort. This is the work of peace professionals, the peacekeepers, specialised in conflict management, the protection of human rights and assistance to refugees. The Course of Advanced Professional Training and Updating in Peacekeeping Intelligence prepares personnel, both civilian and military, to be deployed in the Analysis Units of UN peace support missions, covering every aspect of the work of the Joint Missions Analysis Centres (JMACs), from cultural communication to the phases of the intelligence cycle applied to Peace Support Operations.
The programme is aimed at State employees, members of the Armed Forces and the Police, civilian and military executives who work or intend to work within the Joint Missions Analysis Centres, managers and employees of International Organisations, Public Bodies and NGOs, as well as recent graduates, diploma holders and all those who, driven by strong motivation, wish to specialise in the field of Peacekeeping Intelligence.
Training is delivered entirely online: UNINTESS adopts an e-learning methodology that overcomes barriers of space and time, delivering lessons directly to the student's email inbox. A flexible approach that allows study anywhere and at any time, reconciling work and family commitments.
