    Stolen from the Archive of Dr. Antonio R. de la Cova http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba-books.htm Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba Report to the President May 2004 Colin L. Powell Secretary of State Chairman Stolen from the Archive of Dr. Antonio R. de la Cova http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba-books.htm FOREWORD by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell Over the past two decades, the Western Hemisphere has seen dramatic advances in the institutionalization of democracy and the spread of free market economies. Today, the nations of the Americas are working in close partnership to build a hemisphere based on political and economic freedom where dictators, traffickers and terrorists cannot thrive. As fate would have it, I was in Lima, Peru joining our hemispheric neighbors in the adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter when the terrorists struck the United States on September 11, 2001. By adopting the Democratic Charter, the countries of our hemisphere made a powerful statement in support of freedom, humanity and peace. Conspicuous for its absence on that historic occasion was Cuba. Cuba alone among the hemispheric nations did not adopt the Democratic Charter. That is not surprising, for Cuba alone among the nations of Americas is a dictatorship. For over four decades, the regime of Fidel Castro has imposed upon the Cuban people a communist system of government that systematically violates their most fundamental human rights. Just last year, the Castro regime consigned 75 human rights activists, independent librarians and journalists and democracy advocates to an average of nearly 20 years of imprisonment.

  • Cuba Report to Pres.Ai
    Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba Report to the President May 2004 Colin L. Powell Secretary of State Chairman FOREWORD by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell Over the past two decades, the Western Hemisphere has seen dramatic advances in the institutionalization of democracy and the spread of free market economies. Today, the nations of the Americas are working in close partnership to build a hemisphere based on political and economic freedom where dictators, traffickers and terrorists cannot thrive. As fate would have it, I was in Lima, Peru joining our hemispheric neighbors in the adoption of the Inter-American Democratic Charter when the terrorists struck the United States on September 11, 2001. By adopting the Democratic Charter, the countries of our hemisphere made a powerful statement in support of freedom, humanity and peace. Conspicuous for its absence on that historic occasion was Cuba. Cuba alone among the hemispheric nations did not adopt the Democratic Charter. That is not surprising, for Cuba alone among the nations of Americas is a dictatorship. For over four decades, the regime of Fidel Castro has imposed upon the Cuban people a communist system of government that systematically violates their most fundamental human rights. Just last year, the Castro regime consigned 75 human rights activists, independent librarians and journalists and democracy advocates to an average of nearly 20 years of imprisonment. These prisoners of conscience are serving out their harsh sentences under inhumane and highly unsanitary conditions, where medical services are wholly inadequate. The Democratic Charter clearly states: “The peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it.” In fulfillment of that solemn obligation, the United States remains strongly committed to supporting the efforts of the Cuban people to secure the blessings of democracy for themselves and their children.

  • Impact Case Study
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Chester Unit of Assessment: 27: Area Studies Title of case study: Memories of a Lost Shark: Framing cultural imaginaries of Havana, Cuba 1. Summary of the impact James Clifford Kent is attracting new global audiences to the theorisation of how space and place is constructed and consumed in contemporary society. His practice-led research project, Memories of a Lost Shark: Framing cultural imaginaries of Havana, Cuba, engages the public in a re- examination of the way we construct cultural imaginaries, impacting upon cultural life, education and public discourse. Kent’s series of photographs of Havana combine his contemporary re- workings of historic and iconic Cuban imagery with annotations written by the renowned Cuban writer Edmundo Desnoes. These have been made accessible through public exhibitions, gallery talks and events, as well as through online galleries available on his own website, jckent.com. 2. Underpinning research While images of the city of Havana are well-documented worldwide, the actual state of the city’s image is one which has been steadily misconstrued and idealised in the global imaginary over the course of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Memories of a Lost Shark has challenged these varied representations, which multiplied in the wake of the worst years of the Cuban Special Period (1991-1994), and its key research insight has been to offer different ways of engaging with the space and place of Havana as a socio-cultural product via text and image. The project, underpinned by Kent’s work in the fields of Cuban and visual culture studies, has provided a platform for further scrutinising the way in which image-makers frame a psychogeographical experience of cultural space and for reconsidering how these framings are interpreted by the reader/spectator.
