In his first international speech, on Tuesday 22 January at the plenary of the 49th<\/sup> World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland, president Jair Bolsonaro attempted to draw a distinction between true and false human rights, ignoring the principles set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 5 of the Federal Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue and false human rights do not exist. The right to health, education and fair, impartial judgment, to not suffer torture, to an ecologically balanced environment, among others, are all interdependent and inseparable from each other.\u201d Explained Caio Borges, Conectas Coordinator of Development and Socioenvironmental Rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman rights are the same for everybody, without privilege or distinction, and \u201cpeace\u201d, \u201cdemocracy\u201d and \u201cdevelopment\u201d, terms used by the president himself, infer respect and prevalence of these rights in a universal and wide-ranging manner.\u201d The lawyer added.<\/p>\n

In a short, objective speech, the president stressed the country\u2019s commitment to progress and development and held the country up as an example of environmental conservation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is noteworthy that the president says our country will follow \u2018international best practices\u2019 with specific reference to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development). This organ, which Brazil is seeking to be part of, has incorporated the principles of sustainability and human rights into its criteria. Its Guidelines for Multinational Companies, for example, contains an entire chapter on the environment and another one on human rights. Therefore, once again, following international guidelines means respecting human rights and promoting their applicability to everybody, without distinction, including from a commercial standpoint.\u201d Caio Borges pointed out.<\/p>\n

Without using the term \u201cclimate change\u201d, Bolsonaro said the country will continue its commitment to reducing CO\u00b2.<\/p>\n

The president also said that Brazil could be successful in agribusiness in a sustainable way, without the need for deforestation. However, when he spoke about the 30% of protected forest he did not mention indigenous demarcations. This is known to be one of the principle obstacles to deforestation in the country and it could come under attack, following the transfer of responsibility to the Ministry of Agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>
