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. A crítica à proposta de reforma defendida pelos Estados Unidos reflete preocupações sobre a manutenção de hegemonias e a falta de representatividade global na governança internacional. O sistema atual do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, criado após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, confere a cinco potências vitoriosas — Estados Unidos, UK, France, Rússia e China — o poder de veto, o que frequentemente impede a organização de agir eficazmente em situações de crise internacional. Este poder de veto tem sido criticado por permitir que essas nações bloqueiem ações internacionais, inclusiv...

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 decision-making..

500 days of war in ukraine

Today, complete each other 500 days since Russian troops crossed Ukrainian borders, in 24 February of last year, in what they predicted would be a fulminating military action, with which they hoped to defeat the Ukrainian army, removing President Zelensky from power and replacing him with a ruler “friendly” to the Russian regime. The Russian invasion is blatantly illegal. Contrary, not minimum, three instruments of International Law to which the country is a signatory. The first is the UN Charter, specifically as provided for in no. 4 of article 2, which provides that “Members (da him) shall avoid in their international relations the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political dependence of any State.”. The second is the Budapest Memorandum, of 1994, in which...

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 problems...

By Pedro Gerhardt Corrêa and Priscila Cesarino Taddone Since the UK's departure from the European Union in 2018, several changes took over the configuration of the island, now without block support. Even so, the United Kingdom did not join with other countries in economic agreements in order to gain customs benefits similar to those they had when they were part of the European bloc. 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.

The new US military alliance, UK and Australia

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison (Photo montage) In day 15 of September, a statement made by President Joe Biden, with the virtual participation of British prime ministers, Boris Johnson, and Australian, Scott Morrison, caused protests from China and indignation in France: US and UK agreed to transfer to Australia the technology needed for the local production of nuclear-powered submarines. Chinese protests are understandable. After all, although the name of China was not mentioned at any time, it is obvious that Australia's possession of nuclear submarines is intended to contain the emerging Asian power, holder of the largest navy in the world in quantity of half....

Outbreaks of separatist movements in Scotland

Por Pedro Gerhardt Corrêa e Priscilla Cesarino Taddone A saída do Reino Unido da União Europeia, with the Brexit movement, culminated in greater fervor on the part of Scots to leave the Union in the future.. although in 2014 a referendum was held in which Scotland took a stand against the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, after Brexit, the country questioned the decision to remain in the Union. Since its incorporation in the UK, Scotland is known to have been cultivating separatist ideals and feelings regarding its permanence in the political union.. this happens, so much for historical facts, and for reasons of social and political interests. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon, which has openly separatist intentions, demonstrou apoio ao referendo que poderá possibilitar a saída ...
