“…Historically it was used in different situations with the meaning of waging war to bring peace, constructing a "conservative harmony" (Lemos, 2002). 10 The association of the noun "peacemaker" with the figure of the Duke of Caxias is not fortuitous.…”

Abstract:The article analyzes the awarding of the Peacemaker's Medal to state officials involved in political repression in Brazil during the military dictatorship. The study aims to understand the characteristics of the medal and the criteria for awarding it, the justifications, the number of members of the intelligence community who were decorated and the time point when the medal was awarded during the period. For this purpose, the list of recipients was cross-referenced with the records produced by ex-political prisoners and human rights groups who denounced state agents for acts of torture. The article's conclusion is that the number of medals awarded to agents of repression is only a small percentage of the total. However, it is considerably higher in the case of the more prestigious category, "with Distinction". In addition, it shows that those state agents were decorated because of their involvement in political persecution, in spite of having violated human rights.

Resumo: A atribuição de Medalhas do Pacificador ao longo da ditadura militar brasileira a agentes do Estado envolvidos na repressão política é o objeto desse artigo. A investigação tem por objetivo compreender o perfil dessa medalha, os critérios de concessão da honraria, as justificativas, a proporção dos membros da comunidade de informações entre os agraciados e em que momentos isso foi feito. Para tanto, a lista dos condecorados foi cruzada com levantamentos efetuados por ex-presos políticos e grupos de defesa dos direitos humanos de agentes do Estado denunciados por terem praticado atos de tortura. Conclui-se que o número de agentes repressivos condecorados com a Medalha do Pacificador é reduzido no universo dos agraciados, mas expressivo quando se considera sua modalidade mais prestigiosa, "com Palma". Além disso, comprova-se que os encarregados da perseguição política no período, responsáveis por inúmeros casos de violação dos direitos humanos, não foram condecorados a despeito do que fizeram, mas porque o fizeram.Palavras-chave: ditadura militar, repressão política, Medalha do Pacificador.
