Remote Sensing for International Peace and Security: Its Role and Implications

Remote sensing technology has seen a massive rise in popularity over the last two decades, becoming an integral part of our lives. Space-based satellite technologies facilitated access to inaccessible terrains, helped humanitarian teams, support complex emergencies, and contributed monitoring verifying conflict zones. The scoping phase this review investigated utility role remote application complement international peace security activities owing their ability provide objective near real-time insights at ground level. first looks into major research concepts implementation sensing-based techniques for applications presented meta-analysis on how advanced sensor capabilities can various aspects security. With key examples, we demonstrated assemblage enacts multiple versions security: refugee relief operations, armed conflicts monitoring, tracking acts genocide, providing evidence courts law, assessing contravention human rights. second anticipates future challenges that hinder applicative Varying types sensors pose discrepancies image classifications issues like cost, resolution, difficulty ground-truth areas. emerging sufficient secondary resources available, plays vital operational tool conflict-affected areas by supporting extensive diversity public policy actions peacekeeping processes.
