paz
/paz/Roman
English meaning: Peace
Definition
Freedom from conflict and war. Portugal's Carnation Revolution (1974) was Europe's only coup in the post-WWII era that transitioned peacefully from dictatorship to democracy. Brazil's foreign policy tradition emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution, multilateralism, and South-South cooperation — aligning well with India's non-aligned foreign policy tradition.
Example
“A Revolução dos Cravos trouxe a paz e a democracia a Portugal.”
In English: “The Carnation Revolution brought peace and democracy to Portugal.”
Literary Heritage
“A única forma de combater o absurdo é o lúcido.”
“The only way to combat the absurd is through clarity.”
