The consolidation of its strong economy has allowed brazil nut to impress part in conflict resolution around the world. brazil-nut tree intends to bed covering its own emblem of order and progress throughout the world, and is perpetrate to usher two-eyed violet and encourage human development. brazil nut is the largest country in reciprocal ohm America, covering approximately half of the total surface argona of the subcontinent which places them in a genuinely strategic and prominent place in the region.It shares borders with both other sec American country except Chile and Ecuador. This has allowed brazil to create important alliances and enjoy good relations with some of its neighbours. Brazil is also home of the Amazon forest which is considered to be the lungs o f the planet, as well as an important place where diversity of fauna and flora coexist (Note on the Political and Economic positioning of Brazil, 4). Brazils universe of discourse also plays an important aspect in the international arena it ranks 5th in the world in terms of its population with over 186 zillion people.Slavery was abolished in 1888, which over time a further blurred racial lines Brazil is a mixture of races and ethnicities, resulting in rich diversity. Approximately 80% of its population is Roman Catholic. Despite the mixing of ethnicities there is a variant system in Brazil. Thus, there is a considerable disparity in wage differentialsand therefore lifestyle and social aspirations among the different classes (Brazilian Culture, Family, and Its Ethnic-Cultural Variety, 193). On the other hand, Brazils current economic situation is at its best.Today most of the world is consumed in debt and dealing with high levels of unemployment Brazil instead is move to see how to manage its economic boom. It was the last country to enter the great recession and the first to leave it. It is positioned to overtake France and Britain as the fifth planetary economy. According to the International Monetary Fund website, Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America the second largest on the continent, behind the United States, the sixth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the one-seventh largest in terms of purchasing power parity.With most of the worlds economies stagnant Brazils economy has grown by 7%, three times faster than America.

Brazil is also the biggest mining iron producer in the world and the worlds leading exporter of coffee, orange juice, tobacco, soy and beef. almost of these commodities are exported to China which has replaced the US as their leading trade retainer (Reportagem da tv Americana). It is not the only commodities that Brazil makes it also has certain its economic sectors and increases its exports in aircrafts, electronics and automobiles.Although, Brazil enjoys a modern economy that is very strong and competitive, it still has serious socio-economical problems in terms of poverty at heart its population. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Brazil is a social ground organized as a one(a) republic, decentralized, with autonomous territorial entities, democratic, participatory and pluralistic society based on respect for human dignity, work and solidarity of the people who make up and the preponderance of general interest.The federal capital is Brasilia, while the most important cities are Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is do up of 26 states the president is the head of the executive and is selected by direct universal suffrage for a term of fours years. It has the unspotted division of power which is the executive, legislative, and judicial that is officially establi shed by the disposition (Note on the Political and Economic Situation of Brazil, 6).The Brazilian government is committed to protecting human rights their principle human rights concern includes police fury and impunity. Also, the discrimination against indigenous and landless people, human trafficking, torture and working conditions with comparative impunity for those involved (Foreign and Common Wealth website). The current president Dilma has made improvements in domestic human rights a priority of her leadership. Brazils conflicting policy is to be as a key player on the world stage its efforts for the integration of Latin America have been tremendous.Since the base of Mercosur, Brazil has intended to be the driving force in southeast America consolidating free trade correspondences in the region and coordinating negotiations for the emancipation of Latin America. Under both Presidents Lula and Dilma, Brazil has been particularly active in its engagement with other emerg ing powers, particularly India, South Africa, China and Russia. The confederacy of Brazil, India and South Africa have established a more formal grouping, called the G3 or IBSA, and co-ordinate activity across various areas.The three countries have come together in order to exert greater pressure at the WTO negotiations, a move which has upset the United States.

Brazil has consistently spoken in p arty favour of a ceasefire, and against mutual hostility between Israelis and Palestinians. Brazil has specifically tie in to advancing the path of national independence for the Palestinians and gage for the Israelis. We can real even go back to the Montevideo Rights and Duties of the State, and find how the political populace of the state is independent of recognition by the other states.Even before recognition the state has the right to defend its integrity and independence, to provide for its conservation and prosperity, and because to organize itself as it sees fit, to legislate upon its interests, administer its services, and to define the jurisdiction and competence of its courts (Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties). Article 3 clearly states the position the host on American states would adopt. Paradoxically, some countries have not obeyed this approach interpreted by the majority of nations that bind this agreement.The Brazilian interest is to bring peace to th is conflict and achieve concrete progress in building the Palestinian State.
