A ONU e as intervenções armadas intra-estatais: o caso do Haiti - doi:10.5102/uri.v7i2.972

Abstract

Peace-keeping operations have largely increased in the 90 decade. The UN activities based on international peace and security consolidation were intensified and gained importance when the Cold War finished and a new world order began, in the same time that political-social intra-states instabilities increased in many regions in the world. The extreme complexity of the internal conflicts demanded that the classical peace-keeping operations were broadened, with new activities not only with a military focus but humanitarian and politic. However, the UN is not a supranational institution with clear legitimacy to act in its States member’s internal issues. It is limited by the States sovereign, and which not even have common interests in a joint intervention.
