“Brazil said Wednesday that it may go to the United Nations over US spying, which it said was not only used to combat terrorism, but also for industrial espionage. ‘We are not satisfied with the explanations presented’ by US Secretary of State John Kerry during a visit Tuesday, Communications Minister Paulo Bernardo told a congressional panel. ‘Consequently, we will bring the case to international organizations, probably the United Nations.’ American officials have defended the espionage programs as entirely lawful measures that have helped foil dozens of terror attacks globally.”
