This thesis aims at analysing the impact of United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI) in the Ivorian conflict resolution. For that purpose, we explored the role of the UNOCI regarding the phases of negotiation, resolution and transformation of the Ivorian conflict. This thesis analysed peace missions in Africa, especially UNOCI and its impact on Ivorian conflict resolution. I assume that the complexity of resolving these conflicts does not lie in the absence of attempts to resolve the conflicts, but in the lack of appropriate proposals to each situation. The present work highlighted the efforts that have been made in the different phases. In the present thesis the literature of peace operations and conflict resolution dialogued with each other, allowing for a deeper analysis of UNOCI in its conflict resolution and peace operation dimension. I examined the hypotheses that France and ONUCI mediation increased the warring parties’ disruptive conflictual behaviour in many ways. I argue that peacekeepers deployment increased the resistance in applying political agreements if one of the warring parties think that the peacekeepers or one of the members of the multidimensional mission are not impartial. I also argue that the presence of France as former coloniser increased the nationalism among many Ivorians and therefore increased their disruptive behaviour in applying many of the peace agreements.
