%X On 10 December 2012, rebels attacked several provincial towns in the CAR and overthrew the Boziz¨¦ regime on 24 March 2013. The rebellion¡¯s victory quickly turned into atrocities and undermined the civilians protection. With the CAR totally disintegrated, civilians protection requires a UN peacekeeping operation. On 10 April 2014, the Security Council authorized the establishment of MINUSCA, which took up its duties on 15 September 2014. The objective of this study is to analyse the role that the MINUSCA played in protecting civilians in CAR between 2014 and 2019. The study concludes that MINUSCA has made an effective contribution to civilian protection and human rights promotion, despite some difficulties and complexities of the violence in the country between 2014 and 2019. To help MINUSCA protect the civilian population, particular emphasis needs to be placed on the annual operating budget, the humanitarian aid plan, and the number and professionalism of staff and soldiers.
