O papel da ONU na resolução do conflito em Angola (1989 - 1999)

Abstract

The present work proposes to examine through bibliographic and specialized documents, the role of the UN in the resolution of the conflict in Angola from 1989 to 1999. The institution has acted in the country consecutively, through four maintenance operations, but has not obtained satisfactory results. Although in recent years, peacekeeping operations have been classified as one of the main mechanisms for resolving conflicts both internally and externally, UN missions in Angola have failed, totally changing the political aspect of the Organization's role throughout the process. In this sense, it is necessary to analyze what was the political aspect of the UN's role in resolving the conflict in Angola, as well as the possible impasses that prevented it from fulfilling its mandates successfully, since the institution implemented four missions that lasted ten years, and even then were not decisive for the achievement of peace in Angolan territory.
