Um olhar sobre a diplomacia brasileira de direitos humanos a partir da negociação do tratado em empresas e direitos humanos

Abstract

The present final course assignment has as it’s goal to make an analysis of the historical elaboration of brazilian’s foreign policy since the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889, until the end of the first presidential term of the current Dilma government (2014), in order to evaluate the relationship between Brazil‘s geopolitical interests and the so called brazilian diplomacy on human rights. More than ever, Brazil has used a policy of strong diplomacy towards human rights, since their protection has become an indispensable tool in the quest for political power in the international arena. For this purpose, the positioning of the country in the formulation of the United Nations Agenda on Business and Human Rights which seeks the drafting of an international binding treaty on the theme will be used as a contemporary example. In the end, it will be estabilished if the brazilian position inside this international agenda matches Brazil’s aspirations in the matter of foreign policy and search of recognition.
