Geneva, Prensa Latina.- The Community of Latin American and Caribbean Statesâ�Ö initiative to proclaim Latin America as a conflict-free region sends a truly positive message to the world, UN expert Alfred de Zayas said.
De Zayas told Prensa Latina that promoting the right to peace and development is in tune with the UN Charter and aims at seeking the international order its mandate promotes.
Being able to solve differences by diplomatic means sends a positive message to other regions where conflicts affect millions of people and it is an example of how feasible setting a free conflict region could be, said the independent expert for the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order.
De Zayas, also a historian, a lawyer and a writer wished the best to the Second CELAC Summit, to be held on January 28-29 in Havana, and highlighted the importance of this mechanism for the integration of 33 countries and the promotion of dialogue, solidarity and cooperation among its members.
The expert highlighted UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moonâ�Ös participation at the Summit and said that will allow him to learning more about the Latin American reality.
