Padrão de Resposta

Reform of the United Nations is the key piece of the agenda of change. Multilateralism is the normative expression of multipolarity. The multipolar world which has been emerging in this century must find its logical parallel in the strengthening of multilateral institutions. UN reform, and particularly Security Council reform, stems from the need of enhancing legitimacy, transparency and representativity in its decisions. Even if it would not solve every problem (take, for example, that of the veto), an enlarged Council would send member States a message of trust in the ability of the UN to adapt to the new times. Brazil has made a clear option for multilateralism. The Brazilian contribution to Minustah in Haiti means a concrete demonstration of this commitment. It reflects our "non-indifference" towards a difficult situation faced by a nation with which we have plenty of affinity. It is coherent with the principles of collective action in order to prevent threats to international peace and security, as well.
