The Office of National Security has continued to improve its effectiveness and intelligence gathering capacity.

However, they admitted that sometimes mistakes are made due to poor intelligence.

First, mechanisms must be set up or revived that offer the possibility for meaningful planning and exchanges of information between those involved in intelligence gathering activities.

Intelligence gathering efforts are carried out at the national level, and the products of intelligence are jealously guarded by the various national authorities for themselves.

At the same time, the country maintained relatively close informal connections with the Western bloc, especially in the realm of intelligence exchange.

FIUs serve as a link between law enforcement, financial and regulatory authorities, providing law enforcement agencies around the world with an important new avenue for the collection and exchange of information.

The reasons given for those unhelpful practices are the necessity to protect sensitive sources and methods of work, as well as the suspicion that such documents and intelligence could be leaked should they reach the Office of the Prosecutor.

UNODC has also been instrumental in helping extend the benefits of the FIU.NET initiative, with a view to linking financial intelligence units for better international exchange of intelligence on money laundering cases.
