APOIO MULTICRITÉRIO NA SELEÇÃO DE UM OBSERVADOR MILITAR PARA UMA MISSÃO DA ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS
The increase in Brazil's interest in international affairs has generated a growing participation in military operations under the control of the United Nations. The selection of the military for this type of mission is a major challenge for the decision-making authority, since they represent Brazil before the international community. The choice must be transparent and based on well-defined criteria. In this context, the purpose of this article is to propose a methodology to be used during the selection process of military personnel to integrate military observer missions into peace operations. The multicriteria decision support techniques can contribute to this process, considering the objective and subjective aspects and supporting the decision maker. The ELECTRE III method was used to determine the Officer who is best able to perform the military observer mission. The choice of a method of overclassification is due to the fact that no compensation is allowed between the criteria. The study shows that in certain military situations with lower rank may possess characteristics that make them as or more interesting than those of higher rank.
