Abstract

Indonesia has potential in cooperation on the intermission of UN peacekeeping tasks, although the need for UN intermission does not occur frequently (incidentally), but it needs to be prepared in order to anticipate opportunities and challenges in the development of the situation in UN PKOs, as has happened to the Indonesian Armed Forces Engineer Company Taskforce/Garuda Contingent. XXXII-C, through a decision-making mechanism based on the UN Resolution in UN PKOs to carry out the intermission of peacekeeping tasks from Haiti to Central Africa (2014-2015). The Kizi Taskforce TNI/Konga XXXII C/MINUSTAH or Konga XXXVII-A/MINUSCA, can complete their duties as UN peacekeepers on duty at the UN Mission in MINUSTAH - Haiti and carry out UN Peace Task Intermissions in MINUSCA, in order to prepare missions in the African Republic Center (CAR). On this "rare" opportunity, the UN intermission process can be carried out properly through effective diplomacy and negotiations, so that the TNI/Konga XXXII-C Kizi Taskforce can carry out tasks in two different missions at once. And on this occasion, the researcher tries to explore the data in the form of a research entitled “Implementation of the United Nations Peacekeeping Taskforce; Case Study of Intermission of Satga IEC/Konga XXXII-C from Haiti to Central Africa (2014-2015)”, In this study, I tried to explain the mechanism and implementation of the UN peacekeeping mission, accompanied by various challenges and obstacles faced in the area of operation. as well as the steps and efforts taken to overcome them, so that the task of ending the mission of the IEC/Garuda contingent in Haiti and the reopening of the UN mission in the Central African Republic can take place safely and smoothly. The researcher explored this research, considering that this form of intermission assignment rarely occurs, not only in the IEC Taskforce/Garuda Contingent, but also in UN peacekeeping operations.

Highlights

Assignment in two different missions in two different countries is not something that is commonly experienced by contingents who are members of UN missions
This quite rare experience happened to Taskforce IEC (Indonesia Engineering Company), which originally served in Haiti under the name of the Garuda Contingent (Konga) XXXIIC/MINUSTAH and continued its duties to the Central African Republic (CAR) under the name Konga XXXVIIA/MINUSCA
At the beginning of the assignment, the IEC, Konga XXXIIC/MINUSTAH Taskforce left for Haiti as the third Garuda contingent to carry out humanitarian tasks in the island nation of the Caribbean region

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Assignment in two different missions in two different countries is not something that is commonly experienced by contingents who are members of UN missions This quite rare experience happened to Taskforce IEC (Indonesia Engineering Company), which originally served in Haiti under the name of the Garuda Contingent (Konga) XXXIIC/MINUSTAH and continued its duties to the Central African Republic (CAR) under the name Konga XXXVIIA/MINUSCA. An earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale destroyed existing buildings and infrastructure and paralyzed the government in the country located in the Central America region This resulted in an uncontrolled situation, increased crime, and a humanitarian crisis, which prompted the UN Security Council to give an additional mandate to MINUSTAH (Mission des Nations Unies pour la stabilization en Haiti) to carry out the recovery, reconstruction, and stabilization of Haiti. This is indicated by the difference in the chapters of the 1945 UN charter that apply, namely in Haiti, chapter VI applies, while in CAR, chapter VII is valid
