The Havana-based Pabellon Cuba Cultural Center is the venue for this celebration, so that Cuba’s social organizations’ activists, who promote and protect Human Rights for all, not as privileges of elites as in other nations, address the issue, organizers stated.

Despite the complex economic scenario, the US government’s pressure, and the blockade policy, the country is strengthening its legal framework and guaranteeing the full exercise of these essential principles.

The Cuban civil society officials and leaders affirm that Cuba countersigns, in its Constitution, greater social justice for all and identifies human dignity as a fundamental right and premise in the construction of its socialist system.

From the Cuban perspective, Human Rights are not restricted to defending political and civil rights but also economic, social, and cultural rights. They are seen in their universality and integrality and the right to development, peace, and life; they are constantly and flagrantly denied to other nations.

Cuba guarantees the enjoyment of all prosperity and social justice that a society can assure from an institutional viewpoint but also expresses in practice the materialization of all rights, in this context, from the Cuban Foreign Ministry (MINREX).
