Thinking Ethics: Code of ethics for spies ?

About this blog

Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Code of ethics for spies ?

From an article in today's New York Times by Scott Shane, I found out that current and former intelligence officers and some academic experts are meeting to see of they can come up with a code of ethics or an international association to study the subject. Intelligence ethics, although it might sound a bit contradictory, is an emerging field. And given the many slip ups that are being published these days, it would be reassuring to know that the intelligence community does share a code of ethics. It would be even better if they could respect the human rights declaration.
