ABSTRACT
The Cuban Revolution has undergone several stages due to changes in the country and in the world. The first began in 1959 with a national, popular, and democratic movement that appropriated the ideas of Jose Marti, together with those of liberation and socialism; the axis of its power was the majority of the working people. In foreign policy, Cuba seems to have found a double solidarity, that of the world’s nations and that of nations of Iberoamerica. Some people have warned of the need to emphasize and reenforce in the “New World Order” the rights of nonintervention and the free self-determination of peoples, rights codified in the United Nations Charter and in international law. Consequently, Cuban policy is centered on the political support of nation-states and of the heads of state who are most aware of the need to struggle for an order of mutual respect.
