Abstract(s)
Portugal é membro de pleno direito da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e da União Europeia (UE). A sua estratégia internacional passa por se empenhar num esforço global para criar sinergias e produzir paz a nível mundial.
Nesta senda, Portugal tem feito um enorme esforço no sentido de se fazer representar onde as grandes organizações produtoras de paz assim o requeiram.
A participação de Portugal, ao nível das Forças e Serviços do Ministério da Administração Interna (MAI) iniciou-se em 1992, com a Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) quando foi autorizado o envio de um contingente para a missão da ONU na ex-Jugoslávia (UNPROFOR). Desde aí, a PSP já esteve em missões em 18 países de quatro continentes.
A PSP é hoje uma polícia moderna, integral, imbuída de princípios de bem servir e respeito pelos direitos humanos, balizada por padrões internacionalmente aceites, e, em sintonia com o interesse estratégico nacional no que respeita à política de segurança externa, constituindo-se como um ator ativo na participação em Operações de Apoio à Paz da ONU e missões de gestão civil de crises da EU, suas Agências e cooperação internacional.
A PSP, resultante dessa participação internacional, possui nos seus quadros, Oficiais, Chefes e Agentes, capazes de, em qualquer parte do mundo, inseridos no seio de uma organização internacional, exercer uma panóplia de funções policiais que, com o profissionalismo que lhes é reconhecido, darão um enorme contributo ao nível do “peacekeeping” e “peacebuilding” para ajudar as estruturas dos países, especialmente ao nível das Forças de Segurança, a criar bases sólidas para que novos conflitos não ocorram e os mesmos prosperem.
Estamos em crer que a PSP, apesar de alguns contratempos, nomeadamente o facto de as contratações de pessoal serem inferiores às saídas, continuará a honrar os seus compromissos internacionais, elevando a imagem do país e da instituição a patamares de excelência que nos veio habituando desde 1992.
No quadro atual de ameaças, esperamos ainda que a estratégia nacional continue a honrar os compromissos internacionais em matéria de segurança externa e que, Portugal, um país geograficamente pequeno, se engrandeça e se coloque ao nível dos maiores, continuando a ser um parceiro ativo nas decisões da segurança do mundo.
Portugal is a full rights member of the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU). Its international strategy is to engage itself in a global effort to create synergies and produce world peace. In this direction, Portugal has been doing a huge effort to be represented where the main peace-producing organizations require so. Portugal's participation with the Police Forces and Services under the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began in 1992 with the Public Security Police (PSP) when the government authorized a small contingent to be sent to the UN mission in former Yugoslavia (UNPROFOR). Since then, PSP has served in International Missions in 18 countries of four continents. PSP is nowadays a modern, integral police force with principles of good service and respect for human rights, based on internationally accepted standards, and, in harmony with the national strategic interest in foreign security policy, constitutes itself an active actor in participation in UN OAP and EU civilian crisis management missions and their agencies and international cooperation. PSP, as result of this international participation, has in its personnel, senior officers, Chiefs and Agents, capable of, anywhere in the world, within an organization, perform a panoply of police functions that, with the professionalism that is recognized to them, will give a huge contribution to peacekeeping and peacebuilding in order to help country structures, especially at the level of the police, lay the foundations for new conflicts not to occur and for countries to prosper. In the current threat framework, we also hope that the national strategy will continue to honor international commitments on external security and that Portugal, a geographically small country, enhance itself in order to be at same level of bigger countries, remaining an active partner in the world's security decisions.
