The FIB is an armed branch of MONUSCO with a mandate to neutralize armed groups.
This deployment breaks from the principles that have guided prior Peacekeeping operations: neutrality, consent of the parties and non-use of force unless it is to protect the mandate. I will use data from the United Nations meeting records and interviews with diplomats and peacekeepers, trying to cover the UN decision making process.
I argue that the RtP doctrine influenced the UN and its member States in their decision to deploy the FIB. In order to prove the influence of RtP I studied the positions of key actors involved in this process. Finally, this work focuses on Pillar II of the RtP doctrine, namely the international community‟s responsibility to assist states when they are unable to meet their duty to protect their populations.
