Resumo: | In March 2003, the USA began its intervention in Iraq, an event that mobilized trillions of dollars for the reconstruction of the Arab country within a transformist and active foreign policy perspective. However, despite the coercive nature of the US interventionist action, it is clear that the organizers of the intervention sought throughout the process to justify the legitimacy of such action. This article aims to critically analyze the consolidation of Iraq's reconstruction through legal tools and moral arguments. In this research, we analyze the US internal legal process that approved the invasion, as well as the United Nations Resolutions that involved the discussion about invading or not invading Iraq, and finally the legal documents and institutional acts promoted by the Coalition of Provisional Authority, a body administration of the reconstruction of Iraq, led by the USA. In practice, this legitimation process took place at three levels: domestically, through the US Congress and Senate; internationally, by the subsequent approval of the UN to create an international administrative body for political transition and reconstruction; and in Iraq – already as an occupying power – with the reformulation of Iraq's legal and institutional apparatus for carrying out the country's reconstruction project. |

Porém, apesar do seu caráter coercitivo, é notório que articuladores da intervenção buscaram durante todo processo justificar a legitimidade de tal ação. Sendo assim, como os EUA buscaram legitimar suas práticas intervencionistas no Iraque? A partir da metodologia process tracing, este artigo analisa criticamente a consolidação da reconstrução do Iraque por meio de ferramentas jurídicas e argumentos morais. Analisamos o processo jurídico interno dos EUA que aprovou a invasão, bem como as Resoluções da ONU sobre invadir, ou não, o Iraque, e por fim os documentos jurídicos e atos institucionais promovidos pela Coalizão de Autoridade Provisória, órgão administrativo da reconstrução iraquiana, liderado pelos EUA. Na prática, esse processo de legitimação se deu em três níveis: domesticamente, por meio do aparato político decisório dos EUA; internacionalmente, pela aprovação posterior da ONU que fosse criado órgão administrativo internacional de transição política e reconstrução; e no Iraque – já como potência ocupante – com a reformulação do aparelho jurídico-institucional do Iraque para execução do projeto de reconstrução do país.UFRGS2023-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/13005610.22456/2178-8839.130056Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 14 No. 66 (2023); 43-54Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 14 Núm. 66 (2023); 43-54Conjuntura Austral; v. 14 n. 66 (2023); 43-542178-8839reponame:Conjuntura Australinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/130056/88748Copyright (c) 2023 Rodrigo Augusto Duarte Amaralhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuarte Amaral, Rodrigo Augusto2023-05-31T14:00:54Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/130056Revistahttps://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/oai2023-05-31T14:00:54Conjuntura Austral - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
