Efektifitas operasi intelijen secara langsung berkaitan dengan perilaku petugas intelijen dan tergantung pada sikap moral dan nilai mereka. Kekhususan operasi intelijen dapat menyebabkan dilema moral dalam perilaku petugas. Metode operasi lembaga intelijen mencakup elemen taktis etis dan elemen yang bertentangan dengan prinsip etika yang diterima secara umum dapat mengerdilkan nilai-nilai demokrasi dan nila-nilai mendasar yang didukung oleh negara. Penelitian ini menganalisis masalah etika yang dihadapi dalam proses menggunakan prinsip-prinsip HUMINT dan metode just intelligence dengan menggunakan studi kasus dalam penanganan gerakan Organisasi Papua Merdeka. Subyek penelitian tentang penanganan gerakan separatisme di Papua yang menganalisis etika human intelligence secara evaluatif internal masih sangat terbatas. Tesis ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis teoritis terhadap model perilaku integral awal dari petugas intelijen berdasarkan konteks pilihan dan implikasi operasional yang dapat mendorong diskusi ilmiah tentang subjek penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelangsungan operasi intelijen di Papua memenuhi unsur legalitas dan sesuai standar prinsip Just Intelligence Model. Kendati demikian, untuk memaksimalkan penanganan ancaman Organisasi Papua Merdeka perlu dilakukan kolaborasi kemampuan Human Intelligence seluruh lintas lembaga intelijen dalam satu komando yang integratif.

The effectiveness of intelligence operations is directly related to the behavior of intelligence officers and depends on their moral attitude and values. The specificity of intelligence operations can cause moral dilemmas in the behavior of officers. The method of operation of an intelligence agency includes ethical tactical elements and elements that are contrary to generally accepted ethical principles that can undermine democratic values ​​and fundamental values ​​supported by the state. This study analyzes the ethical problems encountered in the process of using the HUMINT principles and the just intelligence method by using case studies in handling the Free Papua Movement (OPM). Research subjects on handling separatist movements in Papua who analyze ethics of human intelligence in an internal evaluative basis are still very limited. This thesis uses a qualitative approach with a theoretical analysis of the initial integral behavioral models of intelligence officers based on the context of choice and operational implications that can encourage scientific discussion of research subjects. The results showed that the continuity of intelligence operations in Papua fulfills the element of legality and conforms to the Just Intelligence Model principles. However, to maximize the handling of the threat from Free Papua Organization, it is necessary to collaborate on the capabilities of Human Intelligence across all intelligence agencies in one integrated command.
