A Missão Multidimensional Integrada das Nações Unidas para a Estabilização da República Centro-Africana (MINUSCA) e o emprego do uso da força

Abstract

This work aims to address the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) established by the UN security council in 2014 and in operation to date. Through a historical reconstruction of the pre-colonial, colonial and independent period, it seeks to analyze the reasons that led to the crisis that motivated the international interventions that took place there. The first chapter discusses the country's history and geopolitics, addressing factors such as climate, relief, population, energy resources, telecommunications and logistical aspects. The second chapter represents data referring to MINUSCA and the third brings an approach to the use of force in peace operations through the analysis of the Portuguese case in CAR. It concludes with an approach to the interference of the factors mentioned in the chapters on the current situation in the country, the influence of logistical aspects for a possible deployment of Brazilian troops, the importance of impartiality in the international community in peace operations, the complexity of planning with different actors state and non-state and the need for specific training for the use of force in proportion to the threats without going beyond the limits pre-established by the international community.
