The <\/span>Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/span><\/a> is a little-known document in Cuba. I have not found it in tabloids sold in newspaper stalls, or in bookstores, in the form of an easy-to-read brochure.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are fewer, therefore, known documents such as treaties and protocols that regulate specific human rights or groups of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The culture of human rights has already summoned us at other times as a sociocultural problem to be solved in Cuba immediately, but now we will be continuing the analysis of the potentialities of human rights, as a conception, values \u200b\u200band regulations to sponsor or establish a political and cultural dialogue in our country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dialogue between all social actors who want to contribute something to the present and future of Cuba, must be based on and from the respect for the rule of law, within the principles of conservation of sovereignty in the people and respect for all human rights for all people. This means that both the State and individuals, citizens, must comply, as long as it is fair and as long as it does not violate the Constitution of the Republic, the legal order established as a positive right in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is impossible for dialogue to be lucid, frank, constructive, respectful and efficient, if the parties do not know the basic ground that sustains them, from the point of view of human rights and other types of subjective rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the case of international statements and regulations on human rights that are connected with criminal law and due process.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/span><\/a>, in its article 10, \u201cEveryone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This small paragraph contains some of the most important legal, criminal and procedural achievements in the history of the people\u2019s struggle for justice. Full equality in the process, between the parties, which today seems an understatement, was not found in the medieval criminal process or in the canonical inquisitorial process. Feudal law was not governed by principles of equality, so it was necessary to wait for modern revolutions to start building that value, assumed as essential by the new generations.<\/span><\/p>\n
