Resumo: | South Sudan became an independent state in 2011 after a long civil war against Sudan. In the same year, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) was established to consolidate peace, security, and development. In 2013, a bloody civil war that erupted and remains today has changed the country and also the character of the United Nations (UN) mission, which became more robust and had to shelter about 200,000 people in the protection of civilian (PoC) sites. In this complex and violent environment, the United Nations Police (UNPOL), an important component within UNMISS, face a substantial challenge in order to protect civilians in the country. Thus, this paper examines the performance of UNPOL as the law enforcement mechanism within PoC sites and how their employment has contributed to the protection of civilians in South Sudan. The research methods chosen for this study were both the qualitative and the quantitative approaches. Hence, after bibliographic research, an interview with a former Brazilian UNPOL officer, and the analysis of the crime rates within PoC sites, it was possible to verify that UNPOL play an essential role within UNMISS, ensuring a safe environment for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who are under the direct protection of the UN. |

O Sudão do Sul tornou-se um Estado independente em 2011, após uma longa guerra civil contra o Sudão. No mesmo ano, a Missão das Nações Unidas no Sudão do Sul (UNMISS) foi estabelecida para consolidar a paz, a segurança e o desenvolvimento. Em 2013, uma sangrenta guerra civil, que estourou e permanece até os dias atuais, mudou o país e a natureza da missão da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), a qual tornou-se mais robusta e passou a abrigar cerca de 200.000 pessoas em locais de proteção de civis (PoC sites). Neste violento e complexo cenário, a Polícia das Nações Unidas (UNPOL), que é um importante componente dentro da UNMISS, enfrenta um desafio substancial na proteção dos civis em todo o país. Desta forma, este artigo examina a performance da UNPOL como o mecanismo de imposição da lei dentro dos PoC sites e também como seu emprego tem contribuído para a proteção de civis no Sudão do Sul. Assim, após uma pesquisa bibliográfica, uma entrevista com um policial brasileiro veterano da UNPOL, e a análise da taxa de crimes dentro dos PoC sites, foi possível verificar que a UNPOL exerce um papel fundamental dentro da UNMISS, assegurando um ambiente seguro para os deslocados internos que se encontram sob a proteção direta da ONU.UFRGS2019-07-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/9333210.22456/2178-8839.93332Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 10 No. 50 (2019); 84 - 97Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 10 Núm. 50 (2019); 84 - 97Conjuntura Austral; v. 10 n. 50 (2019); 84 - 972178-8839reponame:Conjuntura Australinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSenghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/93332/53334Silva, Josias Marcos de Resendeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-09-11T21:14:58Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/93332Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustralPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaiconjunturaaustral@ufrgs.br||reisdasilva@hotmail.com||nerint@ufrgs.br||andre.reis@ufrgs.br2178-88392178-8839opendoar:https://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaihttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oai2020-09-11T21:14:58Conjuntura Austral - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
