handle is hein.journals/hurighdef28 and id is 52 raw text is: PAGE 08 THE BRAZILIAN ARMED FORCES AND HUMAN RIGHTS: INTER-AGENCY COOPERATION AND THE VENEZUELAN MIGRATION CRISIS Ana Luiza Bravo e Paiva is an Assistant Professor and vice-coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Military Sciences at the Brazilian Army Command and Staff College. Sabrina Evangelista Medeiros is an Associate Professor and vice-coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Maritime Studies at the Brazilian Naval War College.

Contributing to peacekeeping missions has been especially popular, as doing so helps to build public trust in the armed forces and among the countries involved. Brazil, in particular, has sought to further enshrine the core principles of human rights in its military operational doctrines, motivated by a desire to standardise military operations as well as improve interagency coordination and civil-military relations.

Its most substantial and strategic contributions have been in relation to the leadership of two operations: from 2004 to 2017, the Brazilian Armed Forces led the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), providing the operation's largest contingent', and in 2011, Brazil assumed command of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon Maritime Task Force (UNIFIL MTF)2.
