 This Handbook contributes to clarification of the nature of oversight and the spread of good practice. It consists of drafts of legal standards for democratic accountability of the security and intelligence services and in collecting best legal practices and procedures of oversight. The publication proposes legal standards based on a wide-ranging analysis of oversight legislation in liberal democracies in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. Following a foreword written by Ambassador Leif Mevik, Chairman of the Norwegian Parliamentary Intelligence Oversight Committee and by DCAF Director, Ambassador Dr. Theodor H. Winkler, the publication focuses on the four main challenges of oversight: the agency design; the role of the executive; the role of parliament; and independent review. As additional features, the study introduces an intelligence glossary and a checklist for overseers.
