“…In addition, to fully realize its objectives, the OSCE Presence in Albania works in partnership with the host country to strengthen key state institutions, to consolidate a democratic control and balance system, and to strengthen dialogue between the parties to increase trust in these institutions. 3 The OSCE has been present with its mission in Albania since 1991. Bearing in mind the positive role that Albania has played in developing and improving relations, as well as the overall positive changes that have taken place in southeastern Europe, assessing the overall progress achieved in Albania in recent years as well as the most important position taken by the country's institutions The OSCE decided that, after the end of the mandate, it should update the Presence mandate in Albania in order to reflect the developments that have taken place in the country.…”

“…The long process of decolonization in which the right to self-determination was recognized by Western countries resulted in the behavior of democracy in their former colonies. Dictatorships in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Argentina and Uruguay have all become democracies in the last decades 3 . With the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the Stalinist system in Central and Eastern Europe, it was noticed that democracy really triumphed.…”

International organizations have gained the right importance and have been named as the main actors in international relations with the end of the wars. States realized that it would be more reasonable to cooperate, thus achieving higher and faster results. For this reason, organizations of different types began to be created either by the nature of the operation or the geographic extent. Their roles and objectives have been different, some focus on the political aspects of relations between states and others have more administrative or technical functions to facilitate the work of states and form faster services to individuals. Other organizations deal with security issues and police and human rights issues. In this category are created many organisms, such as NATO, charged with state security and military interventions or the Council of Europe, with the aim of promoting democratic values, implanting them and protecting human rights. The organization that will focus on this paper is the OSCE: Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Among the first created in this area, with objectives to coordinate the work in the fields of state and human security, the fight against terrorism, promotion of democracy and fundamental freedoms, environmental and economic protection, and the area of protection of Human Rights and Minorities, we will mainly see the focus of this organization in East Central Europe. During the time I've been involved with, I tried to bring a historical flow of events to understand how the OSCE missions work in the field and what is the difference with the theory and how the OSCE mission emerges CEE, as a case study Albania.

“…Embora o CDH seja ainda um órgão recente, há um número considerável de estudos (ALSTON, 2006;SHORT, 2008;FREEDMAN, 2013;FREEDMAN;HOUGHTON, 2017) que buscam entender se os problemas da Comissão foram, de fato, superados com sua substituição pelo Conselho e comumente aponta-se que, a despeito de melhorias como a implementação da Revisão Periódica Universal 1 , algumas questões continuam presentes. Não se pretende avaliar a eficácia do novo órgão, porém observar se os padrões de comportamento dos países presentes naquela podem também ser identificados no seu sucessor.…”

“…A distribuição dos assentos no Conselho de Direitos Humanos entre os grupos regionais contribui para os países em desenvolvimento pautarem seus interesses no órgão, tendo em vista o alto número de assentos que são ocupados por eles (FREEDMAN, 2013). Uma vez que as ações no Conselho de Direitos Humanos estão condicionadas à aprovação por maioria simples, números são essenciais para deter poder no órgão (JORDAAN, 2014), mais especificamente para que as propostas apresentadas ao CDH sejam adotadas ou não.…”

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo a análise do comportamento dos países no Conselho de Direitos Humanos (CDH) da ONU com principal foco no grupo regional dos Estados da América Latina e do Caribe (GRULAC). O Conselho de Direitos Humanos é o principal órgão de promoção e proteção dos direitos humanos do sistema ONU. O trabalho verifica hipóteses relacionadas à influência do pertencimento ao grupo regional, da divisão Norte-Sul e do nível de democracia no comportamento dos países no CDH. Para tal, os métodos empregados são análise estatística descritiva dos dados, estimação de pontos ideais (NOMINATE) e análise de regressão logística. Os dados coletados incluem as votações realizadas durante as 33 primeiras sessões regulares do CDH (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016), bem como as submissões e os copatrocínios de propostas apreciadas durante este período. Os resultados obtidos oferecem um panorama sobre a participação dos países latino-americanos e caribenhos neste órgão e mostram que eles votam mais próximos aos países do Sul Global e distribuídos no que seriam dois conjuntos de países dentro do grupo regional, ao invés de se posicionar como um único grupo coeso.Adicionalmente, os resultados indicam que o nível de democracia e de violações de direitos humanos estão associados ao comportamento em votações de resoluções sobre situação de direitos humanos em países. Contudo, o posicionamento dos países nas votações destas resoluções se distingue conforme o país foco da resolução.Palavras-chave: Conselho de Direitos Humanos, ONU, América Latina e Caribe, grupo regional, comportamento. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to analyse countries' behaviour in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) focusing on the regional group of the Latin American and Caribbean states (GRULAC). The Human Rights Council is the main body for promoting and protecting human rights within the UN system. This research verifies hypotheses related to the influence of belonging to the regional group, the North-South divide and the level of democracy on how countries behave in the UNHRC. Methods employed in this study are descriptive statistics analysis, ideal points estimation (NOMINATE) and logistic regression analysis. Data collected include roll-call votes that took place during the 33 first regular sessions of the UNHRC (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) as well as submissions and cosponsorships of proposals analysed by the Council during this period. Results offer an overview of the Latin-American and Caribbean countries participation in this body and show that they vote closer to the countries of the Global South and are distributed in two sets of countries within the regional group, instead of one single cohesive group. Additionally, results suggest that the level of democracy and human rights violations are associated with the voting behaviour on resolutions about human rights situations in specific countries. However, countries' position on these resolutions differs according t...
