OAS SECRETARY GENERAL INSULZA: IT FALLS TO CUBANS THEMSELVES TO FIND PATH TO WELLBEING OF THE PEOPLE
February 19, 2008
Following the announcement just made in Cuba that Fidel Castro will not be seeking another term as President, OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza said today, “that decision is no small matter given the Cuban leader’s importance in his country and in the Latin American region for almost five decades.” He added that “these changes were set in motion in July 2006 when Fidel Castro was temporarily replaced by his brother Raúl Castro.” Secretary General Insulza went on to note that the National Assembly must now ratify the decision.
The Secretary General recalled that Cuba is an OAS member state, although its government’s membership privileges have been suspended. Insulza expressed the hope that “the country would see changes that enable the sister nation’s full reincorporation into our organization.” He argued that “it should fall to Cubans themselves, through free and peaceful dialogue and without external interference, to find the most appropriate path to the wellbeing of the people.”
The Cuban government was suspended from participating as a member state of the OAS, by Resolution No. 6 issued at the Eighth Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, held in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in January 1962.
Secretary General Insulza is currently in Mexico on an official visit.
