Back in 2015, the Cuban representative to UNESCO declared that the country defends “a culture of peace in a world hit by terrible wars and terrorist actions.” He cited “the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Peace Zone in the Second Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States held in Havana, establishes the respect for the principles and norms of the International Law and a peace culture in this effort.”
Since then, Cuba’s actions support this claim.
Cuba sponsored the talks that led to the peace accords in Colombia.
During the COVID epidemic, Cuba sent doctors and medicine to other poor countries, despite its own poverty enforced by the US blockade.
In 2019, its 4th International Conference for Peace and World Balance was dedicated to an inclusive multi-polar world where, in the words of José Martí, patria es humanidad (homeland is humanity).
And in 2025, its 6th International Conference for World Balance is explicitly dedicated to “dialogue between civilizations and for a culture of peace.”
