Qu'est ce qu'une bonne réforme du secteur de sécurité ?
Authors
Aline Leboeuf
December 22, 2017

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, la réforme du secteur de sécurité (RSS) s’est imposée comme un outil indispensable de sortie de crise et de reconstruction des pays faibles et faillis, au cœur du continuum sécurité-développement. Il est temps de faire le bilan des leçons apprises sur la RSS et de proposer une analyse des bonnes pratiques et des leçons à tirer de ces expériences. Si les « bonnes RSS » sont assez rares, l’expérience acquise permet de dégager quelques principes d’action. Plus les RSS réussissent à mobiliser une pluralité d’acteurs, plus elles ont de chance de réussir. Les RSS doivent aussi réunir plusieurs conditions : avoir une vision stratégique, construire une approche globale, lier efficacité et gouvernance, être durable, adopter le rythme adéquat ; et enfin recruter les bonnes personnes. Bien que les « bonnes RSS » soient difficiles à mettre en place, l’enjeu est très important puisqu’il s’agit de ramener une paix durable dans un pays.

    How do you treat a brutal dictator who had lost power after 42 years, hiding in a drainpipe, after his convoy was attacked by fighter jets from the air? It was a bloody mess and not a pretty scene. The dictator had a few seconds to beg for his life, “what did I do to you», he gasped reported the London Guardian on October 22, 2011, and then his turbulent life came to an end, shot with a pistol. Triumphantly his assassin raised Gaddafi’s golden revolver -- a few minutes of global fam ...
