Tiivistelmä
Currently, while there is much research and literature dedicated to the topics of peacekeeping security and information systems, there is almost no research or literature that discusses the relationship between the two. The aim of this thesis is to clarifyand elucidate information surrounding the scarcely researched topic of information systems in the context of peacekeeping. In elucidating this information, this paper can serve as a research tool, contributing towards the development of education of this topic, for example, in universities and academies. In doing so, this paper aims to help students who may enter the fields of Information Security, Information Systems or Peacekeeping. So that they can better contribute towards a future that ensures the best people are employed to develop and operate these information systems.
The purpose of this thesis, therefore, is to obtain and amalgamate findings from the research and literature surrounding the topics of information systems and peacekeeping organizations. Primarily, the United Nations (UN), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the British Army. The sub-topic of information security, and the importance it plays between peacekeeper security and information systems, will be used to contribute to the analysis of the relationship between information systems and peacekeeper security.
To achieve this aim, the primary objective of this thesis, is to analyzethe topics of peacekeeping, peacekeeper security, information systems and information security, followed by three real information systems, currently used in UN, NATO and British Army peacekeeping operations. The systems are Deployable Communication Information Systems (DCIS )type information systems, namely the UN Modular Command Centre (UN MCC), NATO DCIS, BAE FALCON. In analyzing these systems, the relationship between each system and peacekeeper security will be shown. More specifically, it will be determined which system aspects contribute towards peacekeeper security, and how it is achieved in the context of peacekeeping threats. And therefore, the information system requirements, too.
