This thesis explores the interactions between United Nations peacekeeping missions and neoliberal policies within the framework of international law, focusing specifically on the case of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), led by Brazil from 2004 to 2017. Through a detailed analysis, it examines how such missions influence national sovereignty and socio-political dynamics, particularly in fragile contexts. The study highlights the impact of neoliberal policies on the objectives of UN missions while assessing the limits of their effectiveness. It argues that one of the main obstacles to achieving the stated goals of international peace and security is the deep entrenchment of neoliberal logic within these operations. This form of dependence undermines any real possibility of producing lasting positive outcomes. In this sense, UN peacekeeping initiatives, in their current form, often fail to take into account the local realities from which many conflicts originate. The study adopts a critical perspective and offers recommendations aimed at strengthening the effectiveness and legitimacy of international interventions in similar contexts.
