The The Brazilian Position in the United Nations on the Situation in Syria (2011)
A Perspective from Brazil’s Foreign Policy under Dilma Rousseff
Abstract
This article aims to analyze the Brazilian position in the United Nations (UN) in the discussions on the situation in Syria in 2011 (year in which the Syrian conflict erupted, and Brazil occupied a non-permanent seat on the Security Council) in light of Dilma Rousseff’s foreign policy. Looking forward to understanding positions that may initially seem incoherent, we seek to answer the following question: How do Brazil’s votes at the UN on the Syrian situation relate to Rousseff’s foreign policy? In order to do so, we first analyze the main guidelines of Dilma Rousseff government’s foreign policy, and then Brazil’s votes in the UN concerning Syria throughout 2011, finally attempting to demonstrate how these to axes connect.
