A human rights figure cannot be indifferent towards human rights violations that take place in the remaining dictatorships nor they can ignore such evident facts to defend the indefensible. Argentine human rights entities should have been more critical of the Cuban government and express more solidarity towards democratic activists and political prisoners in the island.

Recently, a third of the members of the UN Human Rights Council were renewed with China, the biggest dictatorship in the world, accumulating no less than 180 votes which gives proof to the assumption that several developed democracies voted in China's favour. The same applies to Cuba and Saudi-Arabia which have received 160 and 152 votes, respectively.

CADAL’s was the only application closed after being subjected to a roll call vote by request of the delegate of Cuba.

Among the initiatives that CADAL’s Puente Democrático Program has been developing in favor of political opening in Cuba, those that stand out are the contributions about the country’s institutions in the context of democratic transition. One of these was the publication of the book “Elementos de Teoría Constitucional: una propuesta para Cuba” by jurist Ricardo M. Rojas, and the proposal by the analyst Aleardo Laría on the adoption of a parliamentary system.

The internal competitiveness of the 2013 primary elections (PASO) was very low, indicating that parties/alliances remain far from a political opening that involves citizens in the selection of candidates for general elections. In that regard, with the purpose of evaluating compliance with the objectives of the law which enabled the PASO elections to take place, the following is an index that measures the competitiveness of the primaries this year.

CADAL – the Center for the Opening and Development of Latin America- decided to connect the “popular initiative for independent justice and the defense of our rights“, promoted by Daniel Alberto Sabsay and Iván José María Cullen, with various organisations of the civil code. CADAL agrees with the abolishment of the mentioned laws, which are incumbent upon the Federal Congress. In this vein one prevents the arising partisanship of the justice and with that, the destruction of the Republic.
