  • 1 National Lawyers Guild International Committee Presentation To
    National Lawyers Guild International Committee Presentation to the United Nations Decolonization Committee Hearings on Puerto Rico June 9, 2008 The National Lawyers Guild was founded in 1937 as an alternative to the American Bar Association, which did not admit people of color. The National Lawyers Guild is the oldest and largest public interest/human rights bar organization in the United States. With headquarters in New York, it has chapters in every state. From its founding in 1937, the National Lawyers Guild has maintained an internationalist perspective, and international work has been a critical focus for the Guild, particularly in this case to international law concerning decolonization. Its International Committee has organized delegations to many countries throughout the world, and Guild members are involved in international organizations, such as the International Association for Democratic Lawyers and the American Association of Jurists. Presently, active subcommittees exist for Cuba, the Middle East, Korea, and the United Nations. Guild members, including myself, have a long history of defending activists in the Puerto Rican independence movement. We are here out of concern that Puerto Rico remains one of the few juridical colonies in the world, some five decades after decolonization has become a peremptory norm of international law. Colonialism is contrary to international law because it robs peoples and nations of their identity, language, culture, land and natural resources. This crime continues in Puerto Rico today, as both a matter of fact and law. The current United States administration, in its reports from the U.S. President’s Task Force on Puerto Rico’s Status, virtually acknowledges that Puerto Rico remains a juridical colony, and is evidence of the need for the General Assembly to consider the case of Puerto Rico.

California hilltop ranch "Eagle's Nest," American president Ronald "Adolf" Reagan declared in a nationwide radio speech February 17 that the blood­ thirsty counterrevolutionaries waging war against Sandinista Nicaragua are "freedom fighters struggling for liberty and democracy." Comparing these cutthroat killers with such bourgeois revolutionary generals as Lafayette and Bolivar, Reagan proclaimed the CIA mercenaries "our brothers."

    ! ii Acknowledgements. During the course of this project, many people supported and assisted as I researched and wrote my M.A. thesis at Tulane University. I am ever indebted to my dedicated thesis committee, comprised of Dr. Andrew Horowitz, Dr. Jana Lipman, and Dr. David Ortiz. I owe a great deal of gratitude for their unwavering support during the research, writing, and of this thesis project, and their classes, meeting, and general guidance has shaped my time here at Tulane. Moreover, I would be remiss if I did not thank the Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American studies, and the director of graduate studies, Dr. Jimmy Huck, for providing me the opportunity to pursue my Masters degree and this project. I am also thankful to the Foreign Language Area Studies fellowship, which provided me funding to study Haitian Creole over the past two years, as well as travel to Miami and Haiti in 2014 to continue to hone my language proficiency. To my fellow M.A. candidates in the Latin American Studies program, Jennifer Triplett, Mira Kohl, and Phillip Boyett, thank you for providing feedback and moral support and understanding throughout the undertaking of this project. I owe a debt of gratitude to my friends outside of Tulane in New Orleans for providing me with much need perspective on this project, and to New Orleans itself for being a constant source of inspiration and for affording me a home over the past five years. I could not have completed this project without the support and understanding of my family and my partner Alex, who stood by my side throughout these two years of work.
