128. Our opinions differ greatly from those of the Cuban regime; we should, however, be misrepresenting the truth we owe to the international community if we were not to state that the Government of Chile disagrees with the sanctions applied against that country at the meetings of Foreign Ministers at Punta del Este and Washington. My Government is ready to collaborate in the search for formulae which will bring Cuba back to the inter-American family and it hopes that the Cuban Government will make an effort in the same direction. We are helped by the conviction that the case in question, which is dividing brother nations, can only be settled equitably and definitively if the principles of self-determination, non-intervention and respect for human rights* which are the bases of inter-American coexistence and of the very Charter of the United Nations, are always borne in mind in their entirety .
