This paper argues that narrowly focusing on technical solutions may move this world body closer to a modern infrastructure, but misses it opportunities for bigger, more impactful peacekeeping process improvement. Whereas, starting with \u2018humans\u2019 or peacekeepers, their goals and pain points and the context of their interactions, means that solutions are targeting meaningful outcomes, not just new software. Using the value sensitive design approach to technology design, the paper extends its application to peacekeeping by integrating human values and the values instantiated in existing or imagined technical designs. These values were distilled out of a mixed methods study carried out at a peace mission deployed in Africa. Analysis identified four horizontal themes (positive UX, integration, connectivity and privacy) across three use contexts (workplace productivity, personal physical safety and well-being). Core values were being safe, family connection, doing work well and being cared for by their organization. Such human-centred technological interventions will enhance the needed capabilities for the peacekeeping forces to win when they need to and to safely enforce lasting peace in a dominant but non-violent fashion where possible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/iwc\/iwac007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,14]],"date-time":"2022-04-14T11:12:41Z","timestamp":1649934761000},"page":"395-410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Start with the Human, Technology Comes Later: Values for the Digital Transformation of Peacekeeping"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Lynne","family":"Hall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sunderland Faculty of Technology, , St Peter's Campus, Sunderland SR6 0DD, UK"}]},{"given":"Samiullah","family":"Paracha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sunderland Faculty of Technology, , St Peter's Campus, Sunderland SR6 0DD, UK"}]},{"given":"Gillian","family":"Hagan-Green","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sunderland Faculty of Arts & Creative Industries, , St Peter\u2019s Campus, Sunderland SR6 0DD, UK"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022092214273298000_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1007\/s10676-006-9129-8","article-title":"Ethics and technology design","volume":"9","author":"Albrechtslund","year":"2007","journal-title":"Ethics Inf.
