UN peacekeeping missions must monitor belligerent forces, verify ceasefires, spot human rights abuses, catch sanctions busters, and hold violators accountable in conflict zones. To help with these difficult tasks, air- and spacebased observation is playing a growing role and the United Nations is poised to give new emphasis to aerospace technologies. The technical benefits and political limitations of a "watchkeeper in the sky" will be explored in this illustrated presentation, drawing from the speaker's recent visits to UN field missions.
