1. Position Paper
Country: The Federative Republic of Brazil
Committee: UN Security Council
Introduction:
Following more than three centuries under Portuguese rule, Brazil gained its
independence in 1822, maintaining a monarchical system of government until the
abolition of slavery in 1888 and the subsequent proclamation of a republic by the
military in 1889. Brazilian coffee exporters politically dominated the country until
populist leader Getulio VARGAS rose to power in 1930. By far the largest and most
populous country in South America, Brazil underwent more than a half century of
populist and military government until 1985, when the military regime peacefully
ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural
growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a
large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional
leader, one of the first in the area to begin an economic recovery. Highly unequal
income distribution and crime remain pressing problems.
Economy: $2.394 trillion (2012 est.)
Population: 201,009,622 (July 2013 est.)
Foreign Reserve: $373.1 billion (31 December 2012 est.)
Government:
President Dilma ROUSSEFF (since 1 January 2011)
Vice President: Michel TEMER (since 1 January 2011)

2. Topic A: Arab – Israel conflict
Brazil’s Stance:
As brazil was the first country to recognize Palestine as an independent state after a
personal request made by Palestinian president Mahmood Abbas that’s why brazil and
Palestine have good relations. Israel views such unilateral recognition as something that
undermines its interest, still Israel’s relations with brazil have not worsen. Brazil is for
Palestine yet not against Israel.
The Arab – Israel future relations should be that of peace and harmony. It’s the right of
the people to decide their own future and other global nations should assist them in
their peace efforts not impose their own will. The only way forward for Arabs – Israelis
is to co-exist as the famous saying goes “you can change everything but cannot change
your neighbours”. There are several steps that can prevent any future war:
 Firstly trust deficit needs to be decreased.
 Militias on all sides should be disarmed.
 No settlements should be constructed.
The Israelis should also have a land to live but rights of Palestinians should not be
compromised .The UNSC should try to bring all the parties involved in the conflict on the
discussion table so that peace can prevail in the Arab region which has seen many bloody wars.

3. Topic B: Security concerns in the Middle East and the Southeast Asia:
Brazil’s Stance:
On Iran’s nuclear issue brazil supports the current agreement between USA,western
powers and Iran . Iran’s nuclear facilities should be opened up for international IAEA
officials’ for inspections to make sure that nuclear power is not used to generate any
weapons and its only used for peaceful means.
On the issue of Libya, brazil strongly believes that no international power should
interfere in the internal matters of Libya, mercenary armies should not be supported by
any country because that if fueling the civil war in Libya. The Libyan government there
should be supported an strengthen so that civil war could end.
On the issue of SALW(Small Arm & light weapons) Brazil wants all the countries to put a
strict embargo on these sort of weapons because they are being widely used in many
regions where small scale wars or insurgencies are taking place.
Brazil wants to make IAEA More strong so that it can stop any proliferation. Nuclear
facilities all around the world should be made safe so that there is no repeat of the
fukoshima incident which happened after the tsunami in japan.countries such as north
korea ,india and Pakistan sould be encouraged to join NPT so that the world could be
made safe.
