2004-2007年期间,联合国海地稳定使命(联海稳定团)在打击帮派的行动中,打死打伤了许多人,这些人对任何人都不构成威胁,也没有参与犯罪活动。在铁拳行动(2005年)和新森林行动(2006年)中,估计有60人丧生,其中一些人是被直升机发射的子弹穿透他们波纹金属棚屋的屋顶而丧生的。幸存者声称,没有一个来自联合国或任何国家机构的人曾经访问过他们的社区,与他们交谈-“这就好像你是无辜的”。这篇文章讨论了电影《它与你同在:联合国维持和平人员在海地使用武力》的制作过程-这部电影是采用参与性做法制作的-以及项目小组利用这部电影提高人们对联合国接战规则改革和调查联海稳定团过度使用武力的必要性的认识。文章还讨论了如何利用这部电影来质疑联海稳定团的成功故事中排除了目标社区居民的故事,并提供一个平台,使幸存者的经历能够在国际上得到公开承认。由艺术和人文研究理事会资助的“它与你同在”项目是一个跨学科法律和电影研究项目的一部分,该项目探讨电影作为一种处理创伤的方法的作用,并作为一种手段,强调在联合国执法行动中需要采取以人权为导向的问责制。
During its operations against gangs in the period 2004–2007 the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) killed and injured many people who were not posing a threat to anyone and were not involved in criminal activity. In Operations Iron Fist (2005) and New Forest (2006) an estimated 60 people were killed, some by bullets fired from helicopters penetrating the roofs of their corrugated metal shacks. Survivors claim that no one from the UN or from any state agency has ever visited their neighbourhood to speak to them—‘it’s as though you’re worthless’. This article discusses the making of the film It Stays With You: Use of Force by UN Peacekeepers in Haiti—which was produced using participatory practices—and the project team’s use of the film to raise awareness of the need for reform of UN rules of engagement and for an investigation into excessive use of force by MINUSTAH. The article also discusses the use of the film to challenge the exclusion from the MINUSTAH success narrative of the stories of the people who live in the targeted community, and to provide a platform that might enable the experiences of survivors to be publicly acknowledged internationally. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, It Stays With You forms part of an interdisciplinary law and film studies research project, which explores the role of film as a method of addressing trauma and as a means of highlighting the need for a human rights-oriented approach to accountability in the conduct of UN law enforcement operations.
