Symposium toezicht AIVD en MIVD 29 September & Rowin Jansen - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Rowin Jansen defended his dissertation on oversight of the AIVD and MIVD at Radboud University, providing a key reference work.
- A symposium featured prominent speakers discussing intelligence oversight, including critiques of the current system.
- Corien Prins linked intelligence challenges to tensions between values, welfare, and resilience in a fragmenting world order.
- Pieter Bindt argued for differentiating privacy rights between Dutch and non-Dutch persons, but his Danish model example was criticized as incompatible with European human rights.
- Marja Horstman advocated for eliminating binding oversight, claiming it puts ministers in difficult positions, and criticized the CTIVD's orders to delete bulk datasets.
- The CTIVD's findings showed intelligence agencies failed to adequately justify retaining bulk datasets, leading to their eventual deletion after binding rulings.
- Hugo Hillenaar and Addie Stehouwer defended the TIB, noting only 1.4% of requests were deemed unlawful, continuing the debate on necessary oversight 'bite'.
- The article highlights a major oversight gap: the failure to address how to regulate intelligence agencies when political leaders disregard democratic and legal norms.
