General Assembly

Brazil has traditionally played a relevant role in the United Nations General Assembly. In 1947, Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha chaired the First Special Session of the General Assembly and the Second Session of the General Assembly. Since 1947, Brazil has been the first country to speak at the General Debate.[5] Brazilian representatives deliver opening speeches that often present an assessment of the international situation as a backdrop to express the Brazilian point of view on the main issues.[6] On September 21, 2011, President Rousseff became the first woman to open a General Debate since the United Nations was founded.[7]

Security Council reform

Brazil is actively engaged in the reform of the United Nations Security Council and has sought to garner support for a permanent seat with veto power.[10] It formed the G4 alliance with Germany, India, and Japan for the purpose of supporting each other’s bids for permanent seats.[10] Their proposal calls for an enlarged Security Council, expanded in both the permanent and non-permanent categories of membership.[10] A wide coalition of member states from all regional groups of the United Nations supported the initiative.[10]

The United States sent strong indications to Brazil that it was willing to support its membership; albeit, without a veto.[11] In June 2011, the Council on Foreign Relations recommended that the US government fully endorse the inclusion of Brazil as a permanent member of the Security Council.[12] Brazil has also received backing from other permanent members: Russia,[13] the United Kingdom,[14] France,[15] all nations that form Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP),[16] Chile,[17] IndonesiaШаблон:Citation needed, Finland,[18] Slovenia,[19] Australia,[20] South Africa,[21] Guatemala,[22] Vietnam,[23] the Philippines,[24] among others.
