THE SOVEREIGNTY OF CUBA MUST BE RESPECTED

In the face of President George W. Bush's escalation of threats against the
sovereignty of Cuba only days before the UN General Assembly's 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
Bush's recent threats of a nuclear "World War III," 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
"Commission for Assistance to a free Cuba," presided over by Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice. Ominously, the Department of State has
emphasized that the plan includes measures that will remain secret "for
reasons of national security" and to assure its "effective implementation". 
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.
