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.
Initial Effort
At the moment, I will focus on resolutions approved in the current year and work my way back as the resolutions entangle themselves in each other. My idea is to provide the most updated information possible and work with the most recent resolutions. Initially, I will not go through the elements that compose a Security Council resolution and the details that make it an unique bureaucratic document, but if there is need for that in the future I will be more than happy to go through it, not only the obvious elements, but also the type of language used.
