Beginning of Brazil's mandate in the United Nations Security Council

Today, World Peace Day, Brazil assumes its 11th term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. 

Composed of 15 countries, the Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. Currently, Brazil participates in seven of the 12 UN peacekeeping operations.

 In the 2022-2023 biennium, Brazil will prioritize the prevention and peaceful solution of conflicts, the efficiency of peace missions and humanitarian responses to international crises, the consolidation of peace through actions aimed at development, respect for human rights and greater participation of women in actions to promote international peace and security. The country will also seek to improve the Council's articulation with other UN bodies and with regional bodies taking part in conflict resolution.
