AFRİKA BİRLİĞİ BARIŞ VE GÜVENLİK KONSEYİ ÜZERİNE KISA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Year 2022, Issue: 63, 31 - 37, 30.12.2022

Abstract

2002 yılında yenilenen adıyla Afrika Birliği olarak anılmaya başlanan örgütün yaşadığı değişiklik,
yalnızca bir isim revizyonundan ibaret değildi. Bu değişiklik, aynı zamanda örgüte yeni birimler
de kazandırdı. Barış ve Güvenlik Konseyi bu birimlerden biridir. Afrika bağımsızlık hareketlerinin
başladığı 1950’lerden bu yana, kıta içi krizler, çatışmalar ve savaşlar neredeyse hiç dinmedi. Konsey, bu
olumsuzlukların son bulması veya azalması amacıyla kurulan önemli bir organdır. Afrika Birliği Yürütme
Konseyi tarafından seçilen ve Afrika Birliği Meclisi tarafından da onaylanan 15 üyeli Barış ve Güvenlik
Konseyi’nin çatışmaları önleme, çözme ve yönetme konusunda aldığı veya alacağı kararlar oldukça
kayda değerdir. Alınan kararların işleyiş sürecinde Afrika Birliği Komisyon Başkanlığı ile yürütülüyor
olması önem arz etmektedir; fakat yeterli bir işleyiş olmadığının da altı çizilmelidir. Dolayısıyla 21.
yüzyıl Afrika’sında devam etmekte olan kriz ve çatışmalar bu yetersizliği göstermektedir. Bu kapsamda
makale hem Afrika Birliği hem de Barış ve Güvenlik Konseyi üzerine kısa bir değerlendirme yapmıştır.

A BRIEF ASSESSMENT OF THE PEACE AND SECURITY COUNCIL OF THE AFRICAN UNION

Year 2022, Issue: 63, 31 - 37, 30.12.2022

Abstract

The change that the Union, which has started to be called African Union with its renewed name in
2002, has undergone was not only a revision of the name. It also won the Union new units. The Peace
and Security Council is one of these units. Since the start of the African independence movements in
1950s, intra-continental crises, conflicts and wars have almost never ceased. The Council is a crucial
organ that was founded for the purpose of termination of reduction of these negative events. The
decisions made or to be made by The Peace and Security Council, which is selected by the Executive
Council of African Union and approved by the Assembly of African Union and which has 15 members,
so as to prevent, solve and manage the conflicts are noteworthy. It is of great value that the decisions
made are executed with the Presidency of African Union’s Committee during the operation processes.
Yet, it needs to be underlined that there is no adequate mechanism. Hence the crises and conflicts
persisting in the 21st century Africa show this inadequacy. The article, in this scope, has assessed both
African Union and The Peace and Security Council briefly.
