Abstract

In government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), the brazilian diplomacy resumed the aspiration to obtain a permanent seat in United Nations’ Security Council. This theme, seen as a priority of the Brazil’s foreign policy, was part of the government’s plans to design the country in the international scenario. The brazilian strategies to get the seat in this period were: formation of alliances (IBSA, BRICS and G-4), Brazil’s leadership in the Mission of Peace in Haiti, defend the China in the area of human rights and approximation with the african continent. Amid discussions about UN reform, the diplomacy of Brazil also created a speech as a representative of developing countries and Latin America and criticized the structure of the Security Council, unchanged since its creation.
