About the UN Charter

This is a project to discuss, debate and agree on certain parameters to a possible resolution to the US/Cuba conflict by negotiation.

I encourage a resolution along the principles of the UN Charter and international law. Most importantly, those guidelines that are stated in Chapter 6, article 33:

"The parties to any dispute, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, shall, first of all, seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice."[1]

I believe it is not too late to pursue these methods.

Allow me to inaugurate this blog with the comments of Alan Dershowitz, recognizing the eloquence of Amos Oz:

"The time has come for compromise. My friend, Amos Oz, the great novelist and leader of the Israeli peace movement, has said there are two possible resolutions to a conflict of this kind: the Shakespearian and the Chekhovian. In a Shakespearian drama, every right is wronged, every act is revenged, every injustice is made right, and perfect justice prevails, but at the end of the play, everybody lies dead on the stage. In a Chekhov play, everybody is disillusioned, embittered, heart-broken, disappointed, but they remain alive. We need a Chekhovian resolution..." (Nov. 29, 2005)
