Brazil Sends Blair a Note: Key to Security Is Fighting Poverty

Written by Newsroom
Wednesday, 16 November 2005
Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sent a message Tuesday, November 15, to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair. In the message Lula praises Blair's speech on trade negotiations in the context of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Lula praised Blair's stand on behalf of a "rapid and successful conclusion to the Doha Round, for the good of all, but especially the developing countries." The Brazilian President argued that "only by combatting poverty will we erect the security we all need, and only through trade rid of unfair and injustifiable distortions will we be able to incorporate millions of human beings in the dynamic sphere of the global economy." Brazil's Minister of Institutional Relations, Jaques Wagner, participated last week, in Brussels, Belgium, on the debate about the contribution of organized civil society for the restructuring of the World Trade Organization (WTO). He talked about the subject with the President of the European Economic and Social Committee, Anne Marie Sigmund. According to the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, the theme has been one of the concerns of the Brazilian government, in the context of the changes that will need to be introduced in the multilateral organizations involved with the improvement of world governance. Brazil's Economic and Social Development Council (CDES) has participated on the Work Group of the International Association of Economic and Social Councils. After several meetings in June, the Group approved a report where they make several recommendations regarding the role of the organized civil society for the WTO.

Brazil has been unable to handle their poverty for the last 50 years. His statement "...and only through trade rid of unfair and injustifiable distortions.." is contradictory. - By reducing agriculture subsidies in developed nations he says pridces will be higher. Who wil pay or subsidies the poor countries that already now cannot buy sufficient food ? Wioth a higher price I doubt they could buy more, by definition. His statement clearly mentions TRADE but he is willing toi talk only on agriculture. But agriculture is only a small part of the TRADES between countries. What about manufactured goods and financial services barriers that you dont want to reduce in the same percentage that you are asking a reduction in agriculture subsidies ? By doing so the free and open market would reduce the cost of these goods instead of just rising them in agriculture. This would create far more new jobs worldwide than just the few millions in agriculture. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 what is missing in Blair\'s speech ! written by Guest, November 16, 2005 For obvious reasons, the following was voluntarily omitted : " In return Brazil, India and others should move on cuts in industrial tariffs and services liberalization " WTO negotiations could be so much easier if Brazil would use the word TRADE for what it means and not simply Agriculture trade !!!! report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Write comment Name Email Website Title Comment smaller \| bigger Subscribe via email (Registered users only) Write the displayed characters Powered by Azrul's Jom Comment for Joomla!

Poor Women from Northeast Brazil Learn Joy of Meeting and Helping Each Other

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area.
Ahmadinejad's Visit: Iran, Honduras and Brazil's Hypocrisy in Dealing With Them

The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy.
Lula Is About to Fulfill His Wish of Getting His Good Friend Chavez in Mercosur

On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil.
Denying Education is the Other AIDS. And Brazil Is Guilty of Inflicting It

Child Labor Went Down in Brazil, But 5 Million Underage Workers Are Still Way Too Many

One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber.

Some Humility Would Do Lula Good. On Human Rights Brazil Has Long Way to Go

On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking.
Brazil's Amazon Rainforest Policy Is a One-Way Road to Disaster

Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse.
Geisy, Brazil's Miniskirt Student, Should Try US College Next Year

Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose.
Vigilante Groups in Brazil Trump Drug Gangs and Become Rio's New Authority

The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj).
Brazil Police Use Press Coverage as Green Light to Kill and Invade Houses in Rio

A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
