Para um novo enfoque da cooperação militar no Mercosul: análise prospectiva a partir da atuação militar mercosulina no Haiti.

Abstract

The peaceful solution of conflicts and regional integration issues are in evidence under the law and the complex international relations. To associate these issues in order to try to conjecture prospects to the strengthening of the multilateralism was the main objective of this work, specifically in relation to the Mercosur, where currently a scenario of mutual trust and military cooperation is in force, particularly concerning to a contribution with The United Nations to the administration and solution of crisis and conflicts. Currently this environment is materialized in the joint participation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti - MINUSTAH, considered as an inaugural mark of a new paradigm for the UN intervention. Besides trying to demonstrate the common potentialities of the countries of the block to the activities of peace and security maintenance in the context of foreign military action motivated by different factors of the strict national direct interest - precepts of Solidary Diplomacy relative aspects to the new role of developing countries are dealt in peace and security issues, especially in support to UN activities, aimed to ensure the protection of the rights of the individual. From the hypothesis of appearance of a new intervention paradigm and of reach of a standard of military cooperation in Mercosur, as well as of an accumulation of experiences for common participations in UN Peace Operations, it is reached the conclusion that the conditions to the deepening of military integration in the region are given, to establish joint mechanisms of training of military and civilians for this operations, besides the possibility of formation of a Mercosur Force of Peace to act under UN mandate in conflicts considered of less intensity.
