  • However, it is understood that many of the youth that are getting involved in drug trafficking are not staying in school
  • If the government can invest in schools and educate youth so they are equipped to even initiate social reform, then perhaps it could be not only another problem, but also a potential solution.
  • he reasons for the traffickers to desire Brazil as its transit country choice are quite clear: Brazil is so big, it is easy to elude pursuers, it has markets to the entire world, and it has consumers.

  • Becoming a big player in 1980s, Brazil is only in knee-deep at most
  • The UNODC tags Brazil to be particularly vulnerable to trafficking due to its proximity to the main drug-producing countries in Latin America.
  • Brazil is now considered to be a gateway to world markets of illicit drugs produced in the Andean region.
  • It is mainly a transit country for cocaine headed for EU or the US.
  • t is significant that eighty percent of drugs produced and processed in Bolivia are destined for Brazil
  • One thing to consider is how affective an international criminal court of the future would be as the next step in international effort towards drug trafficking reduction.
  • The lack of an authoritative and respected position is seriously harming the social dynamic of Brazil.
  • The police force is seen as weak, underpaid, insufficient, and corrupt.
  • The lack of manpower coupled with the corruption of the police force empowers the gangs as well as upsetting the citizens.
  • In Brazil, some feel that the government needs to invest more in the police force. Right now they are not getting paid enough to care and are mostly all bought off by drug lords to keep quiet.
  • The UNODC backs up this opinion strongly and goes on to explain that because the police officers are not paid sufficiently they have no choice but to live in high-risk areas, some in which a police officer is killed every 17 hours.
  • 1.Government needs to not only invest more social expenditure, but also take the steps to ensure the effectiveness of those investments. 2. Equalize Distribution of Wealth. 3.Reduce social inequalities and prejudices.
  • It may be that when the Brazilian government and society can offer the impoverished a better option, the drug trade, or at least the power of the drug lords may diminish.
  • The two main components of the drug problem are consumption and export, or traffic
  • Brazil is the center for illicit drug transport and export, it is still considered as a nation of only medium consumption
  • World listings of consumption of both cocaine and cannabis show Brazil to be 55th and 114th for the drug use percentage for populous, respectively

    SAO PAULO - In a bold effort to find regional solutions to Latin America's drug trafficking problem, Bolivia has signed an "action plan" with its much larger neighbor, Brazil. Commonly known as Operation BraBo, the agreement - inked by Brazilian Justice Minister José Eduardo Cardozo and Bolivian Interior Minister Sacha Llorenti - was signed in late March following an outgrowth of the seventh meeting of the Joint Drugs Committee.

    Income distribution can tell us many things about a region, country, city, or neighborhood. The income distribution in Brazil is quite large and varies all over the country. Over the last three decades official data has shown that Brazil has one of the most unequal distributions of income in the world.

  • Lebanon joined the 15-member consensus required to pass a presidential statement, but then “disassociated” itself from the result. The statement “does not help in addressing the current situation,” said Caroline Ziade, Lebanon’s deputy permanent representative, in a widely anticipated move given that Syria has held sway over the Lebanese government for decades.
  • Although the statement also called for halting attacks against state institutions, a step demanded by various countries including Brazil and India, diplomats said the statement also increased pressure on the Syrian government to stop deploying tanks against its citizens.
