History of the Falkland Islands and its strategic and geostrategic role

The Falkland Islands, ou Falkland Islands, are an archipelago located in the South Atlantic, near 500 km east of the coast of Argentina. The history of the Falklands is marked by territorial disputes, colonizations and conflicts that highlight its strategic and geostrategic importance over the centuries. The discovery of the Falkland Islands is attributed to European explorers in the 16th century. Although there are records of sightings by Spanish and Portuguese navigators,, the first colonization established was by the French in 1764, who founded Port Louis on Soledad Island. Shortly after, in 1765, the British established Port Egmont on Saunders Island, also claiming sovereignty over the archipelago.

Reform of the UN Security Council: between hegemonies and the search for multipolarity

The reform of the United Nations, especially the Security Council, has been a recurring theme in international debates, intensified by recent conflicts in Ukraine and between Israel and Palestine. Criticism of the reform proposal defended by the United States reflects concerns about the maintenance of hegemonies and the lack of global representation in international governance. The current UN Security Council system, created after World War II, gives five victorious powers — United States, UK, France, Russia and China — the power of veto, which often prevents the organization from acting effectively in international crisis situations. This veto power has been criticized for allowing these nations to block international actions, including in ...

Expansion of the security council and the Brazilian position: a game of global interests

Brazil, in a bold diplomatic initiative, recently proposed significant changes to the structure of the UN Security Council, calling for the end of the veto power (at least temporarily) and the inclusion of eleven new permanent members. This movement reflects not only a search for greater recognition of Brazil on the international stage, but also an attempt to reform a structure that many see as obsolete and not representative of current geopolitical reality. The Brazilian proposition, according to sources such as the UOL portal, suggests that the suspension of the veto power, a prerogative of the five current permanent members (U.S, UK, France, China and Russia), whether for a period of 15 years. The argument is that this would allow for more detailed decision-making..

What will happen if the sale of French nuclear energy to Europe is stopped?

French Electricity - Usina Dampierre-en-Burly, France. Photo by Reuters By Bárbara Daguer and Gabriela Delgado France is responsible for the second largest production of nuclear energy in the world, second only to the United States (FIEP, 2011). Explaining in a simple way, energy comes from the nucleus of atoms, being the smallest particles of any matter. Depending on the element used, the formation or destruction of a particle releases enormous amounts of energy. About 70% of the energy base of this country located in Western Europe is originated by atomic energy (DW, 2022). Despite being considered an extremely clean energy, for not releasing CO2 and no toxic waste, some European countries are choosing to ditch nuclear power, due to the tests...

The current situation culminated in the shortage of food and raw materials, that affected the whole island, having as main represented the gas, the commodities and the drinks.
