ABSTRACT

This article looks narrowly at whether a ‘human security’ approach can be seen in a UN peace operation that pursues stabilization, namely the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). The UN’s interpretation of stabilization has not been expressly set out, but stabilization missions typically work alongside the host state to extend state authority and use robust force to counter spoilers. Human security is a concept which is rights-based, promotes the ‘vital core’, has a concern for vulnerability, utilizes preventative protection methods, and empowers local persons to have agency in the peace process. Attempts have been made to institutionalize and mainstream human security practices within the UN. An analytical framework of human security is outlined in this article and used to assess to what extent the mandate of MINUSCA pursues human security-based goals. An extensive review of UN documentation looks at the mandate and practice of MINUSCA and it is argued that the mission does seek to empower local people, engage in a bottom-up manner and entrench the rule of law. The analytical framework also casts light on aspects of the stabilization mandate which are problematic such as militarization and cooperation with the host state.

抽象的

本文狭looks地研究了是否可以在追求稳定的联合国和平行动中，即联合国中非共和国多维综合稳定团（MINUSCA）中看到“人类安全”的方法。联合国对稳定的解释尚未明确提出，但稳定特派团通常与东道国一道工作，以扩大国家的权威并使用强大的力量对付破坏分子。人的安全是一个基于权利的概念，它促进了“至关重要的核心”，关注脆弱性，采用了预防性保护方法，并赋予了当地人民在和平进程中的参与权。已经尝试将人类安全实践制度化并纳入联合国的主流。本文概述了人类安全的分析框架，并用于评估中非稳定团的任务在多大程度上追求基于人类安全的目标。对联合国文件的广泛审查着眼于中非稳定团的任务和做法，据认为该特派团确实试图赋予当地人民权力，以自下而上的方式参与并巩固法治。该分析框架还阐明了稳定授权的一些​​方面，这些方面存在问题，例如军事化和与东道国的合作。
