The
Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José
Miguel Insulza, today recalled that in April 2009, “at the conclusion of
the Fifth Summit of the Americas, its Chair, the Prime Minister of
Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning, remarked upon the existence of a
clear
consensus that the reintegration of Cuba in the inter-American
relations is an essential step toward the building of a more cohesive
and integrated Americas.”
Insulza added that “in fulfillment
of that consensus, the 39th OAS General Assembly in San Pedro Sula
annulled the Resolution through which the Government of Cuba was
excluded from participating in the inter-American system.” The
Resolution of the 39 GA/OAS established that:
“the participation of
the Republic of Cuba in the OAS will be the result of a process of
dialogue initiated at the request of the Government of Cuba, and in
accordance with the practices, purposes, and principles of the OAS.”
Secretary General Insulza noted that “that request has not been made.”
