Abstract :
This contribution examines how international resolutions and declarations, between 1999 and 2025, shaped the diplomatic discourse surrounding the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Drawing on securitization theory, the article demonstrates that this international institution does not merely describe the Congolese crisis; it effects a semantic and political shift. The study highlights that while the official mandate of the United Nations (UN) aims at securitization - that is, concrete action to stabilize and protect populations - its discourse in reality operates according to a logic of securitization, thus transforming the crisis into an existential threat in order to justify exceptional interventions. The critical discourse analysis applied to resolutions 1279, 2098, and 2773 reveals a persistent tension between the reaffirmation of Congolese sovereignty and the expansion of international governance that frames local decisions. The evolution of diplomatic language highlights a gradual shift towards a logic of security, political, and territorial control, particularly in the east of the country, where strategic resources and transnational dynamics are concentrated. The resolutions thus contribute to legitimizing a permanent international presence under the guise of security, while simultaneously revealing the implicit geostrategic logics that underpin international intervention in the DRC.
