Whose world order? Cuba vs. Pax Americana in the Persian Gulf

Article Abstract:

The Persian Gulf crisis reveals the radically different diplomacy employed by Cuba and the US in the post-Cold War world order. Cuba denounces US hegemonic and expansionist designs in the Persian Gulf region, evidenced by its brute diplomacy which precluded a negotiated settlement to the Gulf crisis. While Washington seeks a realignment of political forces in the oil rich Gulf region, Cuba sees itself as a champion of the Third World, in a US promoted world order hostile to their interests.

Cuba and the end of apartheid

Article Abstract:

Cuban President Fidel Castro asserts that Cuba's contribution towards eliminating apartheid in South Africa has largely gone unnoticed by the international community. Cuba fought and won a long and gruelling battle against the racist South African regime in Angola, which possessed the advantage of nuclear power. Despite the vast scale of human rights abuses in Latin America, Cuba has been targeted for blockades, which like nuclear tests cannot be justified as they go against humanity.
