The Heads of State and Government and the Heads of Delegations of the
countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America –
Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), gathered in Havana, Cuba, on May 27,
2022, at its 21st Summit:
1. Ratify their commitment to strengthen ALBA-TCP as an instrument of
union of our peoples, based on the principles of solidarity, social justice,
cooperation and economic complementarity; with the genuine regional
integration led by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean
States (CELAC); and with the postulates of the Proclamation of Latin
America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.
2. Support the demands of the countries of Our America to materialize a
change in the hemispheric relations, based on the Charter of the United
Nations and the International Law, including the principles of sovereign
equality, non-interference in the internal affairs, non-use or threat of use
of force, peaceful settlement of disputes and self-determination of
peoples.

address multifaceted and complex global challenges through collective
action.

Latin America and the Caribbean to maintain the region divided
according to their hegemonic interests.

governments, social actors, organizations and the brotherly peoples of

ways, the exclusions from the meeting of Los Angeles.

the ideals of the national heroes and founding fathers of Latin America
