The National Defense Council (CDN) (Portuguese: Conselho de Defesa Nacional) is a consultative body of the President of Brazil on matters of national security, foreign policy, and defence strategy.[1] The Council was established on 29 November 1927 by President Washington Luís.[2] It is composed of key ministers and military commanders and chaired by the President of Brazil.[3]
The National Defense Council was established by Decree no. 17,999 of 29 November 1927,[2] and organized by Decree no. 23,873 of 15 February 1934.[4] It was chaired by the President and composed of several ministers, the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Staff of the Navy and in wartime, by generals and admirals of certain commands. It had as complementary organs, the National Defense Studies Commission, the General Secretariat of National Defense, and national defense sectors in every government ministry.[5]
The role of the National Defense Council was reaffirmed with the promulgation of the Constitution of 1934. In the portion devoted to national security (Article 162), the National Defense Council was renamed National Security Council.[5] The decree-law no. 900 of 29 September 1969, amended some provisions of decree-law no. 200, and the National Security Council became the "highest-level advisory board to the president of the Republic, in formulating and implementing national security policy".[6] In September 1980, a presidential decree established the internal regulations of the CSN.[7]
The new Constitution ratified in 1988, renamed the National Security Council to National Defense Council.[8]
