Dictatorships block CADAL’s application for UN consultative status

Last May 28th, the UN Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations considered the applications for consultative status of more than a hundred organizations. CADAL’s was the only application closed after being subjected to a roll call vote by request of the delegate of Cuba. Gabriel Salvia, head of CADAL, stated that “the rejection of our organizations’ request for consultative status is another example of who rule the UN”.

CADAL’s Support to the Constitutional Consensus in 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.

La Pampa, the District with the Most Competitive Primaries

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.

Without justice, there are no rights

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.

A crisis in the human rights concept in the begining of the 21st century

Essential human rights principles say that for citizens ‘everything which is not forbidden is allowed’ while for the government ‘everything which is not allowed is forbidden’. But authoritarian states manage to turn these principles upside down both in law and it practice.
