So that men will not be compelled towards the supreme recourse of rebellion against tyranny and oppression

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims “fundamental for human rights to be protected by a legal system in order for men not to be compelled towards the supreme recourse of rebellion against tyranny and oppression”. Both the national and international system are based on the respect for human rights but 21st century’s dictatorships violate these with prisoners, victims of torture, persecution and exiles. Today, Nicaragua’s dictatorship repeats the crimes committed in Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia where oppressors hold power with total impunity. The peoples of the Americas, who are in a situation of defenselessness, are being forced towards the use of the supreme recourse of rebellion.

And, those of us that fought the Castro regime in the underground resistance and from exile, often felt like Kafka’s isolated protagonists facing bizarre and surrealistic predicaments, and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers.

Aquellos de nosotros que luchamos contra el régimen de Castro en la resistencia clandestina y desde el exilio, a menudo nos sentimos como los protagonistas aislados de Kafka, que se enfrentan a predicamentos extraños, surrealistas, y a poderes socio-burocráticos incomprensibles.
