The article describes the growing participation of Brazil in peacekeeping operations. Initially, the author provides an overview of the origin and evolution of these operations, the first of which date back to the 1920s and 1930s. Recent operations, however, point out the trend to broader and more complex mandates. The peacekeeping operations in which Brazil took part, from the 1940s onwards, are briefly reviewed, and emphasis is given to the positions defended by the country in regard to these operations on the debates held in international forums.
