AT UN DEBATE, BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT URGES PROTECTION OF INTERNET
USERSNew York, Sep 24 2013 12:00PMIn her speech to the General
Assembly's high-level debate today, the President of Brazil, Dilma
Roussef, urged the United Nations to play a leading role in protecting
Internet users from illegal interception of communications and data,
and decried recent allegations of electronic information spying as
"serious violations of human rights".

Meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries
is a breach of international law and as such it is an affront to the
principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries,
especially among friendly nations," Ms. Roussef said in reference to
allegations that the information had been illegally gathered on the
activities of the Brazilian Government.

Addressing a chamber of world leaders, as well as Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon and John Ashe, President of the 68th General Assembly, Ms.
Roussef urged "the United Nations must properly regulate the behaviour
of Member States regarding these technologies."

She said Brazil would present proposals for the establishment of a
framework for the governance and use of the Internet, and to ensure
the effective protection of data that travels through the web.

It will be based on five key principles: freedom of speech; open,
multi-lateral governance with transparency; principle of universality
and non-discrimination; cultural diversity without imposing values;
and network neutrality, guided only by technical and ethical criteria.

In her statement, Ms. Roussef noted Brazil's fight "against poverty,
hunger and inequality" which constitutes "the greatest challenge of
our time."

The UN is currently amidst its 800 days of accelerated action towards
progress on the eight anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), and laying the foundation for a sustainable
development agenda in the years following the deadline in 2015.

"In the debate on the post-2015 Development Agenda we must focus on
the result of the Rio+20," Ms. Roussef said referring to the 2012 UN
Conference on Sustainable Development.

Rio+20's outcome document "The Future We Want" led to the creation of
the High-level Political Forum which aims to ensure that sustainable
development tops the agenda of the highest levels of Government and is
embraced by all actors. The Forum is due to meet for the first time
today on the sidelines of the General Assembly.

Noting the June protests in parts of Brazil, Ms. Roussef said her
Government listened to the demonstrators as an "inseparable part of
the development of our democracy and of social change."

Turning to Security Council reform, Ms. Roussef said the body's
"limited representation" is an issue of "grave concern" exemplified
by its immense difficulty in offering a solution to the Syrian
conflict and paralysis in addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"We must provide the Council with voices that are at once independent
and constructive," the President said, urging expansion of the number
of permanent and non-permanent members "to solve and overcome the
Council's definite of representation and legitimacy."

On the issue of Syria, Ms. Roussef said it is "necessary to stop the
killing" and cease the use of conventional and chemical arms, whether
by the Government or the rebels.

She underscored that there is no military outcome to the crisis and
that "the only solution is through negotiation, dialogue and
understanding."

Similarly, it is now time, Ms. Roussef said, to realize the wide
international consensus in favour to the two-state solution between
Israelis and Palestinians.

Ms. Roussef and Mr. Ban discussed these topics during a bilateral
meeting earlier today. According to a UN spokesperson, Mr. Ban also
thanked Brazil for its "unwavering support" for Haiti and
"outstanding" work of the Brazilian troops deployed to the UN
Stabilization Mission in Haiti known as MINUSTAH. Sep 24 2013 12:00PM
