O Caso Uruguaio

Abstract

This paperwork aims to analyse some reasons why Uruguay is maintaining a policy of sending its military forces to peacekeeping operations and points some implications to Armed Forces. In a way to construct a background we proposes a historical analysis about the relations of the Uruguayan Estate and its Armed Forces in order to define the importance of peacekeeping operations for militaries in Uruguay. It address also an evolution of peacekeeping operations since 1945, when United Nations become its sponsor.
