BRAZIL: Dilma's slow dance
President Dilma Rousseff this week continued her delicate dance with
the Brazilian military, which has expressed strong reservations about the
government's proposed new truth and justice commission to investigate human
rights abuses committed during the period of the country's military regime
(1964-1985). On 5 April before 70 senior officers from the three military
forces, Rousseff made history anew by becoming the first woman to receive the
Medal of the Order of Defence, the highest military decoration.
