VI SEMINAR FOR PEACE AND FOR THE ABOLITION OF FOREIGN MILITARY BASES.
Last Call
The World Council for
Peace, the Cuban Movement for Peace and the Sovereignty of Peoples (MOVPAZ) and
the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP), with the co-sponsorship
of the Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin
America (OSPAAAL), the Martin Luther King Jr. Center (CMLK) and the Oscar
Arnulfo Romero Reflection Group, call for the VI International Seminar on Peace
and the Abolition of the Foreign Military Bases to be held in Guantánamo, Cuba,
from May 4 to 6, 2019.
Once again, the
importance and full validity of the Proclamation of Latin America and the
Caribbean as a Zone of Peace approved by all the Heads of State and Government
of the Region meeting in Havana in January 2014, during the II Summit of CELAC
will be reiterated.
Once more, this 6th edition of the Seminar will be held in the city of
Guantánamo, capital of the homonymous province, where exists the oldest US
military base in the world, which also functions today as an international
center of torture and Human Rights Violations (Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp) that
arouses the repudiation of people who love peace all over the planet. .
This seminar will once again bring together fighters for peace and against-war
solidarity friends of Cuba and friends of the most just causes of the peoples,
in order to demand the elimination of foreign bases and facilities from the
countries of our region and from the whole world, as well as the cessation of
the militaristic and arms race that US imperialism develops along with its NATO
and Israel allies and that sets the world in the forefront of a new world
conflagration.
Likewise, it will be held at a time when a great offensive of imperialism
and the Latin American oligarchies are going against the democratic and
progressive processes of the continent.This imperialistic offensive attempts to reverse by
all means,the achievements of progressive governments in defense of their peoples
and their genuine independence and sovereignty through political and media tricks
and infamies, as well as through the implementation of mechanisms of economic
extortion and through the tendency to deal with political issues through the
courts
This International Seminar will also take place
in the context of the intensification of hostile and aggressive policies of the
new US Administration against Cuba, which has unilaterally imposed a setback to
the process of normalization of relations between the two countries initiated
in December 2014 and that is committed to strengthen the criminal economic,
commercial and financial blockade against the largest of the Antilles.
It will be a space to strengthen the Global Coalition against the
Military Bases of the United States and NATO approved in Dublin, Ireland; and
within the framework of this VI Seminar the "World Day for Peace and
against Foreign Military Bases” will be officially constituted on February 23.
