Comments for Brazil Gets Australia's Backing for UN Security Council Seat at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:06:16 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5039/1/#pc_8760 Brazil, as the fifth largest nation in the world, has a right to a strong foothold in world politics. If the views of more than 180 million people cannot be expressed, especially by such a politically even-keeled country, than we will end upt with more problems and worse problems than Iraq. It is supression and racism that causes terrorism, and brazil is a steadfast nation, internal problems or not. I support a reform of one of the UN's most important councils for representation from not only every continent, but every ethnicity. This is another medium for which people can settle their differences peacefully. - Ben Garves Mon, 23 Apr 2007 15:44:42 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5039/1/#pc_2066 ..... racism is incomptaible with democracy then Brazil is not a democracy by brazilian definitions. - Guest Thu, 05 Jan 2006 14:29:31 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/5039/1/#pc_1849 Neither economically, politically or militarily. Your obsessional dreams of becoming a pernament seat member will remain a dream for years to come. Concerning other International disputes, Angola was a small problem and Haiti is not at war, from what I know. Should every country that participated in one or two International disputes be a permanent security member of the UN ? Then there should be a minimum of 150 permanent UN security seats, as the vast majority of countries participated in small International disputes. Finally on Human rights, proposing good resolutions are welcomed. But why are they not applied first in your own country ? You can just refer to International Agencies reports and even the Brazilian ones. On Human Rights issues you are not very well ranked. Reality is even that you are badly ranked. - Guest Thu, 05 Jan 2006 14:25:25 +0100
