International Union

The conflict between Washington and Havana resulted in a trade embargo against Cuba, which remains until today. Convened to analyze the problems of violence and the development of a culture of peace, the OAS Assembly put aside his main agenda to focus on the Cuban, tinged case of tensions between delegations and protests outside the venue of the meeting in this city in the Northwest of Honduras. Given this reality it is no surprise as the Publisher of the newspaper La Nacion of Buenos Aires highlights, it is not surprising the destemplado lexicon of Fidel Castro in celebrate, but do not accept the possibility that your country access again to a bench in the Organization of American States (OAS), which was expelled in 1962. Surprisingly, the tone with which disqualified its members branded as implicitly complicit in all the trash of 60 years of betrayal of the peoples of Latin America. It is one of their many qualifiers, dumps in writing, against a unique institution that, bad that despite us, not always was at the height of the circumstances, as it did with the failed application of the Inter-American Treaty of reciprocal assistance (TIAR) during the Falklands war. It reminds us of the editorial, that the OAS, arose in 1890 of the first International American Conference held in Washington under the name of International Union of American republics, it went through different stages and exceeded several crises until in 1948, adopted the Charter of the Organization of American States. In those years, and in the subsequent no agency of that magnitude could have acted independently of Governments. It is unfair, then, the criticism of Castro, beyond that the Foreign Ministers meeting in the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula did not seem to repair in his opinion when they approved the reintegration of Cuba, which bridge to its regional integration.
