Introduction
This briefing books includes eight (8) volumes of records declassified by Library and Archives Canada. The file series is titled "Military Actions - Peacekeeping - Special Forces - United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) Intelligence Reports."
UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force) was a United Nations peacekeeping force deployed in parts of the former Yugoslavia from 1992 to 1995. Information about Canadian participation in UNPROFOR is available here.
These volumes contain intelligence summaries sent from National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) to Canadian units in theatre, as well as to various Canadian commands, other government departments, and allies.
The volumes are organized by date range (as indicated) but the reports within each volume are in reverse chronological order. For instance, the report at the beginning of Volume 1 is dated September 1993 and the report at the end of Volume 1 is dated August 1993.
Canada Declassified is grateful to Dr. Andrew Burtch for sharing these records.
Please note these are large files and some users have difficulty accessing them. They might not 'preview' successfully and it might be easier to download them rather than try to read them in a browser. One option is to search for the CD number of the file you are interested (using the search function in the top right of the main window. It may look like a magnifying glass or a square). Search for the CD number, ie. "CDUN00078." This will bring you to a list of results. Select the file you are interested in to gain access ot the full metadata listing. The link next to "Other Media" offers a direct link to the full PDF.
