Mit der vorliegenden Publikation möchte FriEnt ihre wesentlichen Erkenntnisse zur Nutzung von Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in der Friedensförderung teilen.

Das FriEnt-Digitalisierungsteam führte zwischen November 2022 und Mai 2023 zahlreiche ausführliche, jedoch vertrauliche Gespräche mit Expert*innen, um die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von OSINT für die Friedensförderung zu explorieren. Diese Expert*innen kamen aus der Friedensforschung, der humanitären Hilfe, aus Menschenrechtsorganisationen, der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und der Zivilen Konfliktbearbeitung. Andere hatten viele Jahre in Wahrheitskommissionen oder mit dem internationalen Strafgerichtshof gearbeitet. Außerdem wurden Perspektiven von Journalist*innen und Politiker*innen einbezogen. Alle Expert*innen teilten mit FriEnt ihre Erfahrungen und diskutierten ihre Einschätzungen mit Blick auf eine intensivierte Nutzung von OSINT in der Friedensförderung.
