An article in the New York Times highlights the need for Latin American government's to act promptly when the issue is on the United State's radar screen.
The murder of Sister Dorothy, a naturalized Brazilian originally from Dayton, Ohio in the Amazon has attracted much internationally attention. The Brazilian government has acted promptly-- arresting a possible suspect. If the Brazilian goverment was not to act speedily, the United States may become involved. This would insult the Brazilan government as it would reflect negatively on the state's soveignity.
The article also states that the region is largely lawless. This assumption is the very one that Brazil is trying to fight by acting quickly and arresting a suspect.
