A comissão para construção da paz das Nações Unidas e seus esforços para a promoção da igualdade de gênero nas ações de construção da paz

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the theoretical conception that guides the work of the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission in relation to gender issues and to identify the reflexes in the strategies used by the body. The first two sections of this paper will present the theoretical and ideological framework that will guide the discussion and the history of the commission, so that there is a better understanding of the reader on the subject. Then, with a theoretical approach to post structuralist feminism, the discourse analysis will be used as a method of procedure, where the third section of this article will analyze the ways in which the commission deals with gender issues in its documents, which are made available through their website. The intent is to advance the argument that a United Nations Peacebuilding Commission makes use of a liberal feminist approach to its peacebuilding actions, which makes its action less effective in the search for lasting peace.
