What platform?
on MQ for z/OS you can enable CONFIG Events and have object additions/changes/deletions detected...
on Distributed you are on your own...
detection of additions/changes/deletions can only be achieved by regular snapshots of your environment and
compare them against previous snapshots. There are many packages out there that can do this, one of them is MQDocument

You can also use saveqmgr(c) (MS03) to create your snapshots and put them under source control. You may want to use the -1 option so as to not create a diff when the definitions did in fact not change.
Note this will not tell you who did the change but you will see what has changed and should be able to script it to recreate a deleted object...
Enjoy

We recently implemented MQDocument at my shop. Every morning when my MS03 batch job runs to back up every QM in the system, it calls out to MQDocument to compare today's MS03 for each QM to yesterday's MS03s. It then produces a little report that gets emailed to me listing what if anything got added, deleted or changed on each QM. Plus it keeps a rolling 90 days of these reports.
Gotta say that was the best money spent. Careful as people are, stuff happens. Scanning that report every morning has allowed me to catch some things that would eventually become big and hairy problems.
