A Brazilian peacekeeper serving in the Central African Republic has been selected to receive the United Nations Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award.

Serving as the Military Gender Advisor in MINUSCA Force Headquarters since April 2018, Lt Cdr Braga helped build a network of trained gender advisors and focal points among the Mission’s military units and promoted the use of mixed teams of men and women to conduct community-based patrols around the country.

Our Peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) began an operation to dislodge armed groups from Bangassou, epicentre of last week’s wave of violence which resulted in the killing of three United Nations peacekeepers and the displacement of over 2,000 people. MINUSCA deployed temporary operating bases in strategic locations within the town and is conducting robust patrols to re-establish a safe environment and allow people to return to their homes. The Mission reinforced its presence in Bangassou last week with troops from Bangladesh and Gabon.

UN peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic commemorates 3 years This month marks the third anniversary of our UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA).

Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA was established in 2014 to protect civilians from major atrocities being committed and helped prevent a genocide. 

In 2015 and 2016, the Mission was instrumental in helping the people of Central African Republic elect their own government in a peaceful and democratic way. 

Today, Mission des Nations Unies au Mali - MINUSMA continues to enforce its mandate and offers support to the political process focusing its efforts on the disarmament process of armed groups.

In addition, the Mission facilitates humanitarian assistance, promotes human rights and works to strengthen national justice and rule of law institutions.

Peacekeeping works! La mission de maintien de la paix de l'ONU en République Centrafricaine commémore 3 ans

Ce mois-ci marque le troisième anniversaire de notre mission de maintien de la paix de l'ONU en République centrafricaine (MINUSCA).

La MINUSCA a été créée en 2014 pour protéger les civils des atrocités majeures commises et a aidé à prévenir un génocide majeur.

Aujourd'hui, MINUSCA continue de faire respecter son mandat et offre un soutien au processus de transition politique. En outre, la mission facilite l'assistance humanitaire, protège les droits de l'homme et promeut la justice et droit.

Depuis sa création, la République Centrafricaine a élu son propre gouvernement et les groupes armés diminuent d'influence, ce qui contribue à une transition pacifique et durable.
