RESUMO

Several criticisms concerning the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) are a consequence of a mistaken understanding of its endogenous functioning, its teleological foundations, its axiological and political power structure. The majority of these misperceptions are a result of associating the Security Council to internationalist-liberal institutionalism (ILI), which ideologically paved the road for the founding of the United Nations in October 1945, and several other UN System international organizations. The UNSC is an exception to the internationalist-liberal institutionalism paradigm and should be interpreted through consensus-building multilateralist realism which thus evidences the United States unicentric power. Therefore, the UNSC is not necessarily a peace and security maintenance organ as mandated by the UN Charter. It represents an organ responsible for the maintenance of the current world order enshrined in US hegemonic leadership. Authorizations of UN peacekeeping operations, its renewal and various on-going UN reform proposals follow the same multilateralist realism logic and coercitive consensus-building. Collective security thus is not connected to legitimacy and idealistic-legalistic principles. Thus the main objective of this doctoral dissertation was to correlate the political structure of the formation of the world order and the decision-making process of the UNSC. Its timeframe was from the adoption of UNSC resolution 660 of 08/02/1990 to resolution 1546 of 08/06/2004, pointing out consensus-building strategies occurring in 89.1% of all UNSC voting and verbatim records (15x00x00). Linkages analysis of internal and foreign policy of the United States with the exercise of its unipolar hegemonic leadership, the outcomes of the Bush Doctrine, the relations between the UNSC and the UN Secretary-General, the study of war and its deeply-rooted causes are integral part of this thesis. Case studies concerning UNSCâs role had the objective of analyzing the nature of power, hegemonic interests, and asymmetrical political force of P-5, thus revealing the neglect of democratic legitimacy of contemporary international relations
