DINAMIKA KEGAGALAN PEACEKEEPING PBB PASCA INTERVENSI M23 DALAM PERANG SAUDARA DI REPUBLIK DEMOKRATIK KONGO

---

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the failure of the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), particularly after the intervention of the M23 rebel group. The primary focus of this research is to examine the root causes of MONUSCO's chronic failure to protect civilians and stabilize the resource-rich eastern region of the DRC, culminating in the fall of strategic cities such as Goma and Bukavu in early 2025. Using a descriptive qualitative research design and a data collection technique in the form of a literature review, this study applies John J. Mearsheimer's theory of Offensive Realism as the primary analytical tool to dissect the anarchic structure of the international system. The results show that the UN's powerlessness in the DRC is not simply a matter of bureaucratic inefficiency, but rather a logical consequence of the UN's weak position within the international system. The analysis demonstrates that the UN lacks independent power due to the absence of a standing army and structurally functions only as a reflection of the global distribution of power. In this context, the UN has become an arena for competing interests between Great Powers, namely the United States, China, and Russia, seeking to secure access to critical minerals such as cobalt and copper, which are at the heart of the global technology industry. This study concludes that the failure of peacekeeping in the DRC is a manifestation of the "tragedy of great power politics," where collective peace is sacrificed for the sake of maximizing relative power and securing strategic resources in an anarchic world order. Keywords: UN Peacekeeping, Democratic Republic of the Congo, M23, Offensive Realism, Great Powers.
