<div dir="ltr">Thanks a lot Carolina. This is extremely helpful to understand the domestic process in Brazil. <div><br></div><div>I have a question to you and my fellow brazilian colleagues. You said in your email that the new version received great support from the Brazilian civil society. Does this support include the support of the new art. 11, 12 and 13?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to receive the reactions/comments from other people in the network. Maybe I am missing something but those articles includes provisions that form me, first, are not very realistic from an implementation perspective, and second, if this idea is supported in Brazil, I donīt know how we will oppose the same idea for other countries that could use the provisions to go against local civil society groups.</div>
