International Intelligence Union
http://hem.spray.se/torgnylilja/bilder/logo/iiu.gif

The International Intelligence Union exists to help create a safer world. Its aim is to provide a unique range of essential services for the collection of intelligence, for the international community to optimise efforts to combat crime, terrorism, and aggression.

Mission
To be the pre-eminent intelligence organisation in support of all organisations, authorities and services whose mission is preventing, detecting, and suppressing unlawful activity.

The IIU will achieve this by:

* Providing both a global perspective and a regional focus;
* Exchanging information that is timely, accurate, relevant and complete;
* Facilitating international co-operation;
* Co-ordinating joint operational activities of its member countries;
* Making available know- how, expertise and good practice

IIU will act on the basis of the articulated demands and expectations of these organisations, authorities and services, while remaining alert to developments so as to be able to anticipate future requirements.

Core functions

IIU will provide three core services:

* a unique international police communication system
* a range of criminal databases and analytical services
* proactive support for police operations throughout the world

-To become a member, a nation need only to declare its support of the organization. Member nations are encouraged to share information regarding escalating conflicts or suspicious/cirminal activities of which they have knowledge.

-Additionally, member nations will establish embassies with other members in order to facilitate the spread of strategic intelligence.

-Member nations agree to seek and detain foreign wanted or convicted fugitives who may be residing or request asylum in their country under the hospices of the IIU.

This is a developing organization, so advancements and proposals are welcome.

We will offer our selves as police for hire if you so need us.

[OOC: Intriguing. I think I'd be quite interested in this organization. Sign me up as a member for now, and I'll write up an IC post for it tomorrow, as it's late here now.]

Thank you for becoming a member. Your words speak volumes, and we certainly appreciate your support of the organization. We would be honored if your nation would consider hosting the headquarters for the IIU. Thank you again, and we await your response.

We will offer our selves as police for hire if you so need us.
We may be interested in taking advantage of your services. The IIU will need its own member-sanctioned agents/authorities that can easily move from one nation to the next. Please let us know if this will be possible through you. Thanks!

I am honoured that you should hold my homeland in such high stead as to offer us as host to the IIU. The Republik welcomes this responsibility, and plans will be drafted for a new building dedicated to this venture. I have spoken with the Chancellor, and temporary offices have been designated until the main building has been constructed.
Though we will be incurring the initial cost, the Chancellor believes that it is irrelevant when compared to the reward.

Emil Kaufman
Foreign Minister

This would be very possible. We are at your service. we can also put your agent through a small bit of our training program. they will suffer much but gain more.

MEMO
TO: THE NATIONAL COMMONWEALTH
FROM: CHAIRWOMAN DEBRA MACKENSAY, FOREIGN RELATIONS MINISTER, CEO OF BIOGEN INDUSTRIES

This proposal, while highly novel I am sure, deeply concerns the Federation of Joint Conglomerates. We are a board of twelve multi-billion dollar corporations that control a sizable dominion of the Lucky Strike Empire and as such are not so easily given to novelty. Therefore, be patient with us as we point out a few leering, five-alarm flaws in your proposed intelligence union.

- You say that member nations are "encouraged" to share their information about escalating conflicts, criminal activities, etc. Exactly what do you mean by "encouraged"? When the Federation "encourages," it generally involves a lot of screaming, bleeding and rather unpleasant smells. Perhaps you could elaborate more clearly on the obligations of members in this regard.

- Exactly how does your organization propose to define what constitutes "criminal behavior"? "Terrorism"? After all, one nation's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. And suppose two enemy nations both came to you requesting information about the other? You would simply supply two sides of a conflict with information about how to harm each other more effectivley? We are not what you would call pacifists to say the least, but this seems rather counter-intuitive to your lofty goal of ensuring peace.

- The United Nations Charter explicitly outlines the principle of national sovreignity. No international body is permitted to just conduct investigations of other countries. Now, the Federation of Joint Conglomerates of course pays no heed to the so-called "human rights activists" and useless ideologies of the UN. We have found however that it can serve as a most compliant tool, and a most irritating enemy. Suppose a rival takes this case to the UN? A resolution regarding "the establishment of para-governmental organizations" does not sound like a terribly far cry off. Possibly months of incredibly intricate operations could be destroyed in a second's notice.

- I see that you have employed the Black Agents. Your organization has rather expensive tastes apparently. The Agents are, of course, the premier counter-intelligence organization in the entire world. We have made sure to keep in contact with them ourselves... As have many, many other unidentified third parties that have used them before. Who knows what loyalties they may have? Who knows if they have been hired to make a show of offering their services as your "police for hire" when in reality simply using you as a vessel to gather data for their employer? In fact, how do you intend on fully verifying any intelligence you receive?

Frankly, the Federation is rather disappointed that this is truly the best of what you and the already signed on member nations have to offer. I wonder, can you produce a serious answer to the questions that I have raised?

Thank you, and God bless the almighty Dollar.

(OOC: Sorry... my country's character dictates that it act, like, wicked evil all the time. Don't break your back answering those questions. Actually, I'm pretty interested in this idea. Make a show of trying to convince me, and I'll agree to become a member)

The nation of Flightopia would be honored if you would allows us the privalage of entering the iiU.

From The Working Office of the Director-General:

Esteemed Chairwoman:

We understand your concerns, however with all pledged respect, we must reiterate that the IIU will only function among member states who choose to endorse it, and only serves as a conduit to facilitate and interpret intelligence gathered by the respective intelligence agenies of member nations. The very nature of the IIU prevents breaches of sovereignty and would not be in volation of the UN.

We appologize for the confusion concerning our use of the word "encourage." The use we refer to asks that member nations entertain the idea of sharing information and intelligence between each other, so as to prevent unfortunate tradgedies, etc. For the purpose of this organization the criminal activty known as terrorism is to be defined as follows:

A "war crime" or the like committed during peacetime by any number of indivduals or organizations.

"War crime" is to be further defined as the intentional planning, targeting, and conducting of attacks upon civilian or military personnel (while not in the performance of their duties or during peacetime) with the intent to kill, maim, wound, injure or create a state of fear, panic and terror in the general population.

When a nation agrees to become part of the International Intelligence Union, it agrees not to compromise other nations with threats of terrorism when outside the realm of war. International law applies and if a member nation is threatened by "state-sponsored" terrorist organizations, then the instigating nation will be expelled, so the hypothetical scenario will not be an issue.

Regarding our hired agents, they will continue to serve as an extension of intelligence collection and clearing operations until we form and train our own intelligence corps. The information they provide will be screened against that of the intelligence agenies of our member states and likewise, they will verify the information gathered by members. The IIU will streamline all of these operations. The agents, themselves members of IIU, pose no threat to compromising the integrity or quality of our organization as is evident by their record.

We do hope this explanation will make clearer the intentions of the IIU, and transpire into an endorsement from the Federation of Joint Conglomerates. Thank you!

Wishing you peace and prosperity,

Rene Colvex
IIU, Working Director-General

A recent wave of terrorist attacks has spurred us into action. Determined to strike back, the ICD has initiated Operation Bobcat, aimed at locating and assasinating insurgent leaders worldwide belonging to our rebel group, the Army of God. Cooperation is requested from the IIU. We ask you to set up a spy station in our headquarters, Athasism, and begin finding leads on insurgent leaders.

We await more intell on the situation.

The Civil War (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=)

We will provide a background on the situation.

Nine years ago, we fought a massively destructive civil war with a conglomerate of religious fanatic groups that protested the athiestic policies of our government. We won, but only barely. The nation has been mostly rebuit, but the psychological scars remain.

After their defeat, the rebels dispersed into the jungle, setting up a new terrorist organisation to continue the struggle. They have long been dormant, but recent attacks have returned them to the headlines.

We recommend you set up a control station plus safehouses in our capital city, Athasism, and attempt to locate make contact with people close to insurgent leaders or the leaders themselves. Determine their whereabouts, and an assasination team will be assembled.

An assasination team will not be nessescary. we will take care of that as well as the safehouse location.

MEMO

FROM: CHAIRWOMAN DEBRA MACKENSAY, FOREIGN RELATIONS MINISTER, CEO OF BIOGEN INDUSTRIES

After reviewing extensive marketability projections, risk-gain ratios and return-on-investment reports, the Federation of Joint Conglomerates has concluded that despite all assurances to the contrary, the iiU remains an inherently flawed concept. However, after careful consideration, the board has decided to join. We believe that we will serve as what appears to be a much needed voice of centrality and authority in the iiU and its affairs.

I certainly hope that the recent unpleasantness between the FJC and the iiU's sponsoring country, the Commonwealth Nations, will not interfere with our productive, efficient participation.

Thank you, and God bless the almighty dollar.

Chairwoman Debra Mackensay sat alone in the cavernous Boardroom on the top floor of the five hundred-story capital building. What could barely be seen of the blood red sun through the smog of Agglomeratia was beginning to sink below the horizon, casting low shadows in the already darkened room.

For the first time in her life, let alone in her career as a member of the Board, she had failed. The leaking of the emergency crash transmission a few weeks ago had been one of the worst crises the Federation had ever been faced with. It single-handedly brought the ruination of the Board's very carefully planned coup to take over the UN. It had been a disaster of immeasurable proportions... and she, the supposed "Foreign Relations Minister," had failed to contain it.

Debra Mackensay closed her eyes, took a deep breath and clenched her fists so tightly that both of her palms began to bleed.

Not ever again, she vowed. I will not fail ever again...

"An International Intelligence Union," mused one of the members of the Board at the Federation's last meeting. "That certainly looks promising..."

Mr. Calloway, you surely cannot expect this high-minded intelligence union to function without a centralized administration of at least one member state, and neither do we. Thus, with only the deepest concern for the success of this enterprise in mind, the Federation of Joint Conglomerates officially volunteers to carry this heavy but necessary burden. Under the guidance of the Federation, the iiU will serve as a crucial asset to world peace.

Thank you, and God bless the almighty Dollar.
