UN Peacekeeping and the fight against terrorism

"THE EXECUTION OF THE STABILIZATION MANDATE OF THE MINUSMA, A HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IN MALI Since 2013, numerous challenges and protests from the political class and civil society have called for the departure of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). This is justified by its approach, which is considered too peaceful in the face of the issue of terrorism in Mali. In view of this social tension, research was conducted over several months on the activities of MINUSMA in order to demonstrate that, despite the absence of an explicit counter-terrorism mandate, MINUSMA has made a very significant contribution to the fight against this phenomenon in Mali.
