“Each and every government in the world has the obligation to respect the right to life of each and every nation and of the totality of all the peoples on the planet”.

“The World’s peoples have an obligation to demand that their political leaders uphold their right to live.

I do not trust the US policy, nor have I ever exchanged a single word with them, something that in no way means a rejection to a peaceful settlement of conflicts or war dangers. Defending peace is a duty of all.  Any peaceful and negotiated solution to the problems between the United States and peoples, or any people of Latin America, which does not involve force or the use of force, should be addressed according to international standards and principles.  We will always advocate cooperation and friendship with all peoples of the world, among them, the peoples of our political adversaries.  That is what we are demanding for all.

“To fight for peace is the most sacred duty of all human beings, whatever their religion or country of birth may be, whatever the color of their skin, adult or adolescent”.
