Call from the International Relations Commission of the National Assembly of People’s Power

The members of the International Relations Commission of the National Assembly of People’s Power of the Republic of Cuba make a call to the citizens of Latin America and the Caribbean, and of the United States, to act in a timely and decisive manner in favour of preserving our region as a Zone of Peace, as approved and proclaimed by the Heads of State and Government at the CELAC Summit, held in Havana in January 2014.

We support the message from the President of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO), which denounces the disproportionate and aggressive deployment of naval and air assets, including a nuclear submarine, and the high number of US personnel present in the Caribbean Sea.

We have the duty and the right to defend the peace and the lives of our peoples. Dozens of people have already been killed by attacks perpetrated by US forces against vessels in the area, acts which qualify as extrajudicial executions and constitute a flagrant violation of International Law.

Let us raise the voices of legislators from our region and the world to stop the threats and criminal intentions of the current White House administration which, under the pretext of waging a fight against drug trafficking, hides the true purpose of provoking the overthrow of the constitutional government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and seizing that country’s valuable natural resources.

The militarisation in the Caribbean for several weeks constitutes an act of gross interference by the United States government. Its implementation expresses the philosophy of imperial domination based on the Monroe Doctrine, which spans over two centuries and is the basis for its interventionist ambitions on the American continent.

The threats include pretensions to cross the borders of sovereign states and use the territory of third countries. Washington’s most recent aggressive act was the arbitrary and immoral decision to close Venezuela’s airspace. In this regard, we support the timely condemnation made by the Cuban Foreign Minister, who described the act as an extremely grave threat and an increase in the escalation of military aggression and psychological warfare against the Venezuelan people and government.

In the name of our peoples, we are committed and have the obligation to act urgently and to reach the US public opinion with a message of peace to prevent the shedding of Latin American, Caribbean and also US citizens’ blood.

Let us work swiftly to multiply the demands for peaceful coexistence in all international parliamentary forums, in the media, and with every man and woman in the world who understands the need to contribute with all possible efforts and actions to the preservation of peace, life and the security of our peoples.

Let us say No to war!
