The notion of “good practice” refers to legal and institutional frameworks that serve
to promote human rights and the respect for the rule of law in the work of intelligence

human rights law, but goes beyond these legally-binding obligations.
The 35 areas of good practice included in the compilation are grouped into four
“baskets”, namely legal basis (practices 1–5), oversight and accountability (practices 6–10
and 14–18), substantive human rights compliance (practices 11–13 and 19–20) and issues
related to specific functions of intelligence agencies (practices 21–35).
