The combination of military operations and social work was pointed out as an advance in dealing with the urban conflict in Port-au-Prince. The deployment in Haití has been traditionally indicated as the inspiration for the Police Pacification Units (UPP) of Rio de Janeiro. However, those who make those statements tend to ignore that these techniques can trace their origin to the French colonial pacification campaigns and that these were widely used within Brazil.In this paper, we describe the origin and doctrinal bases of French counterinsurgency techniques that will later be incorporated by the Brazilian Armed Forces. These tactics, applied within Brazil, will travel to Haití where they will be polished and re-imported for use in Rio de Janeiro. Ultimately, what we pointed out is the existence of the synergy and feedback of these pacification experiences and how their origin can be found in a much more distant past than the establishment of MINUSTAH in 2004. A la hora de hablar de la participación de Brasil en la Misión de Estabilización de las Naciones Unidas en Haití (MINUSTAH) se tiende a rescatar lo novedoso de su aproximación. La combinación entre operaciones militares y trabajo social fue señalada como un avance a la hora de lidiar con la conflictividad urbana de Puerto Príncipe. Tradicionalmente se ha indicado al despliegue en Haití como el inspirador de las Unidades de Pacificación Policial (UPP) de Río de Janeiro. Sin embargo, quienes realizan estos planteos suelen obviar que dichas técnicas pueden rastrean su origen a las campañas de pacificación coloniales francesas y que éstas cuentan con extensa utilización dentro de Brasil.En este trabajo describimos el origen y bases doctrinarias de las técnicas de contrainsurgencia francesas que luego serán incorporadas por las Fuerzas Armadas de Brasil. Estas tácticas, aplicadas dentro de Brasil, viajarán a Haití en donde se pulirán y serán reimportadas para su utilización en Río de Janeiro. En última instancia lo que se señala es la existencia de una sinergia y retroalimentación de estas experiencias de pacificación y cómo su origen puede ser encontrado en un pasado mucho más lejano que el establecimiento de MINUSTAH en 2004.
