O Brasil e as Operações de Manutenção da Paz das ... - Funag

CONCLUSÃO 287em 8/12/98, antes mesmo da intervenção da OTAN no Kosovo, nosseguintes termos 189 :“When peacekeeping operations become necessary,I wish to reaffirm that, while regional organizationsundoubtedly have an important role to play, any militaryintervention by the international community must remainsubject to the approval of the Security Council.Dispensing with its assent, as some are tempted to do,would mean setting an unfortunate precedent. It would callin question the very first article of the Charter of theOrganization, which provides for effective collective measuresfor the prevention and removal of threats to the peace. Weshould then not be far from a return to the system of spheresof influence based on the individual interests of States, ratherthan on the principle of sharing of responsibilities”.Em tom mais contundente, o SGNU frisou em discurso proferidoem 17/5/99, quando então a intervenção da OTAN na RFI granjeava,que “the case of Kosovo has cast into sharp relief the fact thatMember States and regional organizations sometimes takeenforcement action without Security Council authorization”,acrescentando “... that unless the Security Council is restored to itspreeminent position as the sole source of legitimacy on the use offorce, we are on a dangerous path to anarchy.” 190 Essepronunciamento foi feito, em Haia, durante as Comemorações doCentenário da realização da Primeira Conferência de Paz de 1899,diante de uma platéia expressiva de autoridades mundiais.Embora tenha ocorrido uma violação das normas das NaçõesUnidas e um desrespeito à autoridade do CSNU, poder-se-ia189Nações Unidas, (1998), doc.
