3 | In late January, a group of politicians, diplomats, journalists, business people, and American and Cuban-American academics gathered in Washington DC, United States, to discuss the rebuilding of relations between the two countries. | Ny Janoary lasa iny, nifamory tao Washington DC, Etazonia, ny andianà politisiana, diplaomaty, mpanao gazety, mpandraharaha, ary olon'ny anjerimanontolo Amerikana sy Kiobàna, mba hifanakalo hevitra momba ny famerenana indray ny fifandraisana eo amin'ny tany roa tonta. |
4 | The group was convened by intellectuals and advocates involved in the Cuba Posible project - a Cuban forum for political debate - and the Cuba Research Center, a US-based non-profit organization. | Ireo manampahaizana sy mpisolo vava mandray anjara ao anatin'ilay tetikasa Cuba Posible no nampiantso ilay vondrona - Cuba Posible dia sehatra Kiobàna fiadiana hevitra ara-politika - ary ny Cuba Research Center, fikambanana iray mpanao asa tsy ilàna tombony ao Etazonia. |
5 | According to the official Twitter account of Cuba Posible, key topics at the conference included “the diplomatic ties between both countries, the current political challenges on the island, the required improvement of democratic processes in Cuba, the performance of the press, and human rights.” | Araka ny ambaran'ny kaonty Twitter ofisialin'ny “Cuba Posible”, tafiditra ho lohahevitra manana ny lanjany mandritra ilay konferansa ny “fifamatorana ara-diplaomatika eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta, ireo fanamby politika ankehitriny ao amin'ny nosy, ny fanatsaràna takian'ny dingana demaokratika ao Kiobà, ny fahombiazan'ny asa fanaovana gazety, ary ny zon'olombelona.” |
6 | @cubaposible #sociedadcivil, democratic and economic challenges in #Cuba and diaspora engagement; topics to be discussed in Washington | @cubaposible #sociedadcivil, ireo fanamby demaokratika sy ara-toekarena ao #Cuba ary ny fandraisana anjaran'ireo zanaka am-pielezany; lohahevitra hodinihana any Washington |
7 | One of the most complex and controversial topics over decades of negotiations between the US and Cuba has been the issue of human rights. | Iray amin'ireo lohahevitra sarotra indrindra sy mahabe resaka nandritry ny taompolo maro nifampiraharahàna teo amin'i Etazonia sy Kiobà ny olan'ny zon'olombelona. |
8 | During talks that began in Havana on January 22, delegations from both countries stated that they maintain “deep differences” on the matter. | Nandritry ny resaka izay nanomboka tao Havana ny 22 Janoary, nilaza ireo solontena avy amin'ny firenena roa tonta fa mitohy mitàna ‘fahasamihafàna lalina' momba io olana io ry zareo. |
9 | According to Michel Fernández, one of the speakers and a lawyer living in Havana, “topics such as the single party system [and] the limitations of political and civil rights, [tend to] leverage criticism against the Cuban system, and even [raise the question of whether] human rights exist in Cuba.” | Ho an'i Michel Fernández, iray tamin'ireo mpandray fitenenana sady mpahay lalàna avy ao Havana, “ireo lohahevitra tahàka ny rafitra antoko tokana [sy] ny fameperana ny zo sivily sy politika, [mirona amin'ny] fanaingàna kiana hanohitra ny rafitra Kiobàna, ary na [ny fanaingàna fanontaniana raha tena] misy tokoa ny zon'olombelona ao Kiobà.” |
10 | The truth is that Cuba has a constitutional order, recognizes the vast majority of rights that exist today, with instruments that guarantee them, and is involved in the international mechanisms for the protection of rights of which Cuba is a participant. | Ny marina dia manana lamina araka ny lalàm-panorenana i Kiobà, manaiky ny ankamaroan'ireo zo misy amin'izao andro izao, miaraka amin'izay fitaovana iantohana azy ireny, ary ho amin'ny fiarovana ny zo dia mandray anjara ao anatin'ny rafitra iraisam-pirenena, izay mpisehatra ao anatiny koa i Kiobà, . |
11 | But Fernández then acknowledged that “many constitutionally defined rights (such as freedom of speech and press, church-state relations) refer to laws for their enforcement, and in many cases these laws have never been enacted, therefore, we face the phenomenon of rights whose limits and form of exercise are not clearly defined.” | Saingy avy eo i Fernández nahatsapa fa “marobe amin'ireo zo voafaritra araka ny lalàm-panorenana (toy ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra sy ny asa fanaovana gazety, ny fifandraisan'ny fanjakàna sy ny fiangonana) manondro ireo lalàna ho fampiharana azy ireny, ary amin'ny tranga maro no tsy mbola voapetraka ireny lalàna ireny, noho izany, miatrika endrika zo hafahafa isika, izay tsy voafaritra mazava tsara ny fetrany sy ny endriky ny fampiharana azy ireny.” |
12 | During a recent presentation of the annual Human Rights Watch world report, Latin America director Daniel Wilkinson called on Latin American countries to demand that Cuba respect human rights in the context of the reconciliation between Cuba and the US. | Vao haingana, nandritry ny fanolorana ny tatitra fanao isan-taona avy amin'ny Human Rights Watch erantany, ilay tale Latino-Amerikana, Daniel Wilkinson dia niantso ireo firenena ao Amerika Latina hitaky amin'i Kiobà ny hanajàny ny zon'olombelona, ao anatin'izao ezaka fampihavanana an'i Etazonia sy Kiobà izao. |
13 | The report highlights the increase in short-term arbitrary detentions of dissidents and independent journalists in Cuba. | Asongadin'ilay tatitra ny fitomboan'ireo famonjàna tsy an-drariny mandritry ny fotoana fohy an'ireo mpanohitra sy tsy miankina mpanao gazety ao Kiobà. |
14 | Roberto Veiga, one of the founders of Cuba Posible, stated that “the issue of human rights in Cuba is a topic that many people incorporate as a condition for developing bilateral relations (…). | Roberto Veiga, iray amin'ireo mpanorina ny Cuba Posible, nilaza fa ” ny olan'ny zon'olombelona ao Kiobà dia lohahevitra iray ampidirin'ny olona maro ho toy ny fepetra iray amin'ny fandrafetana fifandraisana amin'ny andaniny sy ny ankilany (…). |
15 | However, in doing so we must consider the context created by the circumstances that have influenced it. | Kanefa, raha hanao izany, tsy maintsy raisintsika ho anaty kajikajy ny tontolo nateraky zava-nisy izay nanosika ho amin'izany. |
16 | Otherwise, judgments could be wrong and potential solutions more difficult [to come by].” | Raha tsy izany dia mety ho diso ny fitsarantsika ary ho sarotra [tadiavina] kokoa izay ho vahaolana goavana” |
17 | “The reality is that only without the obstacles emanating from a hostile climate between Cuba and the United States, could we achieve the internal stability needed to cope successfully with the amplification of freedoms, an adequate political openness and a serene setting of national institutions,” says Veiga. | “Ny zava-misy dia rehefa tsy misy fotsiny an'ireo vato misakana nateraky ny rivo-piainana feno fifankahalàna teo amin'i Etazonia sy Kiobà, dia ho tratrantsika ny fahamarinan-toerana eto anatiny, izay ilaina hiatrehana amim-pahombiazana miaraka amin'ny fanamafisana ny fahalalahana, ny fisokafana ara-politika mifanaraka amin'izany ary ny fametrahana andrim-panjakana tsara fototra,” hoy i Veiga. |
18 | Lenier González, coordinator of Cuba Posible, stressed that “in Cuba, a heterodox and flexible Act of Association that would accommodate the plurality of actors of Cuban society is becoming imperative. | Lenier González, mpandrindra ny Cuba Posible, dia nanindry fa “ao Kiobà, lasa zavatra tsy maintsy ilaina ny fisian'ny Lalàna misy fileferana sy tsy manaraka fotsiny ny efa nisy momba ny resaka fikambanana, izay afaka handray ho anaty kajiny ny fahamaroana/fahasamihafàn'ny mpisehatra ao anatin'ny fiarahamonina Kiobàna. |
19 | In a détente scenario with the United States, the Cuban government has a moral and political imperative to become guarantor of all political and ideological pluralism of the country.” | Ao anatin'ny endrika fitoniana izay iarahana amin'i Etazonia, ny governemanta Kiobàna dia manana fitsipika maoraly sy politika hipetraka ho mpiantoka izay rehetra fahamaroan-kevitra politika sy ideolojika ao amin'ny firenena.” |
20 | The debate on human rights in Cuba necessitates, at the same time, a thorough review of the model of democracy in this country. | Ilain'ny adihevitra momba ny zon'olombelona ao Kiobà, miaraka amin'izany, ny famerenany mandinika lalina ny drafitra demaokrasia ao amin'ity firenena ity. |
21 | Julio César Guanche, lawyer, researcher and member of Cuba Posible, pointed to outstanding debts: | Julio César Guanche, mpisolovava, mpikaroka sady mpikambana ao amin'ny Cuba Posible, nanipika ireo trosa mbola miandry: |
22 | the demand for a greater legal and political space for citizens to make political decisions, and monitor and dispute the existing ones, and an interdependent conception of rights, a greater rule of law (…) and the right to resist the law when its application is illegitimate, the democratization of access to property, and the promotion of values and institutions that favor the practices of acknowledgment and tolerance. | ny fitakiana habaka lehibe kokoa araka ny lalàna sy ara-politika ho an'ny olom-pirena mba handraisany fanapahan-kevitra politika, ary hanarahany maso sy hiadiany hevitra mikasika izay efa misy, ary fifanotronana amin'ny fandrafetana ny zo, fanjakàna tàn-dalàna lehibe kokoa (…) ary ny zo hanohitra ny lalàna rehefa tsy ara-drariny ny fampiharana azy, ny fanapariahana amin'ny fomba demaokratika ny fahafahana mahazo fanànana, ary ny fampiroboroboana ny soatoavina sy ireo andrim-panjakana izay manome vàhana ny fampiharana ny fankatoavana sy ny fandeferana. |
23 | The event program also included a gathering with Alex Lee, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs. | Tafiditra tao anatin'ny fandaharan'ny hetsika ihany koa ny fivoriana iray niarahana tamin'i Alex Lee, Sekretera lefitra misahana ny raharaha mahakasika ny faritra Amerika Andrefana. |
