THE SOVEREIGNTY OF CUBA MUST BE RESPECTED

In the face of President George W. Bushbs escalation of threats against
the sovereignty of Cuba only days before the UN General Assemblybs vote
for the sixteenth consecutive year against the inhuman and
unjustifiable 47-year-old US economic blockade of Cuba, and in the
world context of Bushbs recent threats of a nuclear bWorld War III,b we
issue this call to US intellectuals and artists to join us in calling
for a permanent dialogue and cultural exchange between the peoples of
the United States and Cuba. We also call for making public the secret
annex to the latest declaration of the bCommission for Assistance
to a free Cuba,b presided over by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Ominously, the Department of State has emphasized that the plan
includes measures that will remain secret bfor reasons of national
securityb and to assure its beffective implementationb. It is
not difficult to imagine the character of such measures if one
considers the militarization of the foreign policy of the Bush
administration and its performance in Iraq.

Because of this increasing threat against the integrity of a nation and
the peace and security of Latin America and the world, we the
signatories listed below demand that the government of the United States
respect the sovereignty of Cuba. We must prevent a new aggression at
all costs.
