What, Why and Who

The goal of this blog is to shed light on the resolutions and documents developed by the United Nations Security Council. The idea is to help people assess the value and the policies that are developed by the organization in those documents. Also, I hope to help people navigate through the bureaucratic maze that the United Nations Security Council and the whole organization has become.
The motivation comes from the bluntness that I have observed in Congress recently, in the sense that the critics and praises of the UN do not go into the depths of the issues and the details that can improve the organization. There is a need to separate the good from the bad when it comes to the work of the United Nations and I hope to contribute to improving how we judge the performance of the UN.
I am a current M.A. student on the International Affairs program with a concentration in US Foreign Policy at the Elliott School of International Affairs at the George Washington University. I did my undergraduate studies in International Relations at PUC Minas, in Brazil. Politically, I consider myself to be a classic liberal, a firm believer in the forces of free market and transparency and accountability as guidance to governmental enterprise.

Commentaries are more than welcome.
