<p><strong> </strong>The Heads of State and Government and the Heads of
Delegations of the countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples
of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), gathered in Havana,
Cuba, on May 27, 2022, at its 21<sup>st</sup> Summit:<span id="gmail-more-20443"></span></p>
<p>1. Ratify their commitment to strengthen ALBA-TCP as an instrument of
union of our peoples, based on the principles of solidarity, social
justice, cooperation and economic complementarity; with the genuine
regional integration led by the Community of Latin American and
Caribbean States (CELAC); and with the postulates of the Proclamation of
Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.</p>
<p>2. Support the demands of the countries of Our America to materialize
a change in the hemispheric relations, based on the Charter of the
United Nations and the International Law, including the principles of
sovereign equality, non-interference in the internal affairs, non-use or
threat of use of force, peaceful settlement of disputes and
self-determination of peoples.</p>
<p>3. Reaffirm their support to multilateralism, as the main instrument
to address multifaceted and complex global challenges through collective
action.</p>
<p>4. Denounce the pretensions of imperialist domination over the
peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean to maintain the region
divided according to their hegemonic interests.</p>
<p>5. Reject the arbitrary, ideological and politically motivated
exclusion of several of our countries from the so-called Summit of the
Americas, to be held in June in Los Angeles, United States. Such a
unilateral decision constitutes a serious historic regression in the
hemispheric relations and an outrage to the Latin American and Caribbean
peoples.</p>
<p>6. Support the right of all countries of the continent to be invited
and to participate in said event on an equal footing and underscore that
the host country of the meeting of Los Angeles has no right to impose
exclusions or conditions in violation of their sovereignty and
independence.</p>
<p>7. Denounce the discriminatory treatment by the United States as the
host country of the so-called Summit of the Americas against numerous
representatives of the genuine civil society of our continent.</p>
<p>8. Emphasize that this kind of exclusionary meeting, does not
contribute to the solution of any of the urgent integration challenges
or the global and regional threats.</p>
<p>9. Support and thank the courageous and dignified standing adopted by
governments, social actors, organizations and the brotherly peoples of
our continent, which have rejected, overwhelmingly and in different
ways, the exclusions from the meeting of Los Angeles.</p>
<p>10. Reject the imposition of coercive unilateral measures against
Venezuela and Nicaragua, and the economic, commercial and financial
blockade against Cuba in violation of the principles and purposes
enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and the International
Law.</p>
<p>11. Vindicate the national dignity of our peoples, based on the
respect for the ideals of the national heroes and founding fathers of
Latin America and the Caribbean</p>
<p>12. Support the genuine efforts to foster a respectful dialogue,
tolerance and peaceful coexistence and cooperation among the countries
of our Americas, without exception, in order to find effective solutions
to major problems affecting our hemisphere.</p>
