LEGALIZING INTELLIGENCE


SHARING: A CONSENSUS

APPROACH

                                 Brian Mund*

ABSTRACT

Governments face a decision between balancing collective national security interests
with individual privacy rights and strike that balance to different degrees. Only
recently has public attention turned to the lack of transparency surrounding cross-
border international intelligence sharing agreements. Foreign intelligence cooper-
ation is necessary for effective security, but differing intelligence governance
standards create tension between clashing privacy regimes. This Article proposes a
pragmatic pathway forward in the form of a palatable intelligence-sharing framework
that respects state sovereignty and security needs, while simultaneously establishing
revolutionary privacy protections. This first-of-its-kind framework identifies and
builds upon principles of international law to construct this practical framework.
These principles are: 1) principle of legality; 2) principle of safeguarding against
abuse; 3) principle of proportionality; 4) principle of transparency and oversight; 5)
principle of notification and remedies; 6) principle of complementarity; 7) principle of
good faith; and 8) an exigency exception.
