Abstract

The United Nations (UN) was established with the main objective of ensuring and promoting world peace. UN peacekeeping missions are the most visible instrument of the Organization’s work in promoting world peace. In 1999, with the establishment of the Peace Mission in East Timor, the UN assumed all the functions of government in a peacekeeping mission with the purpose of developing the necessary bases for the birth of a State, which caught the attention of the international community. The present work investigates the process of independence, pacification, and (re)construction of East Timor, verifying how the UN’s performance took place. In addition, it analyses the effectiveness of the missions implemented in order to bring peace, stability, and most notably independence.
