Dear friends:
I am pleased in forwarding you all the information about the
conferences on People's right to social development.
This meeting is the only forum of developing countries to debate
and identified areas of consensus for the Summit on Social
Development to take place in Dennamark on March next year.
Also this seminar will take place in our city, Havana, just two
days before of the International Congress on Solidarity with Cuba
in which, if interested, you could also participate.
For any further information please contact fax (537) 33-3985/ 32-
0490 / 33-5211 at OSPAAAL or reach us at the Felix Varela Center

PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Havana, November 18-20/1994
The Executive Secretariat of the Organization of Solidarity of
the Peoples of Africa, Asia and America (OSPAAAL) has
the honor to extend its greetings and to invite
you to an international meeting --"Peoples' Right to Social
Development"--sponsored by our orgahization, which will be held
in Havana on November 18-20,1994.
Concerned about this very sensitive global
problem, an issue which OSPAAAL has
supported and defended since it was founded
in 1966, we are convening a meeting of non-
governmental organizations interested in this
topic. We are invitingsocial movements,
political organizations, trade unions, farmers'
and workers' organizations; women's,
indigenous, pacifist, human rights and
ecological organizations to participate, as well
as religious groups and friendship and
solidarity organizations. Scholars and
academic institutions are also welcomed to
participate.
In view of the United Nations call to a
world conference during the Summit on
Social Development (Denmark, March 1995)
and that worldwide non-governmental
organizations are planning an alternative
forum in Copenhagen at the same time, our
invitation is aimed at promoting a broader
exchange of views on themes related to social
development. We also want to draft a
summary of the participants' opinions into a
final declaration and commitment to action,
informing world public opinion about the
people's real aspirations, reaffirming and
stressing their willingness to struggle against
poverty, unemployment, marginalization,
illiteracy, unhealthy living conditions,
discrimination, and against all other social
injustices.
We greatly appreciate your help in
promoting and giving advance notice of this
call so that we can count on a varied and
larger attendance. We sincerely hope that we
can depend on yourgenerous cooperation and
on your valuable presence next November.
Yours faithfully, In Solidarity,
OSPAAAL Executive Secretariat

el desarrollo de una industria artesanal que sustituya plasticos
y productos quimicos, asi como en el uso masivo de bicicletas.
Ahora nuestra pregunta es: ?una vez salida de la crisis, se
volveran a las viejas soluciones?, ?hay una verdadera conciencia
ecologica o es solo el desarrollo de la inventiva ante la
imposibilidad de importar productos industrializados? No estamos
seguros de la respuesta; por eso nuestra organizacion quiere
contribuir al desarrollo de esa conciencia ecologica.
