Summary: "Human rights are very often spoken of, but we must also speak of humanity's rights. Some countries possess abundant resources, others have nothing. What is their fate? To starve? To be eternally poor? Why then civilization? Why then the conscience of man? Why then the United Nations? Why then the world? You cannot speak of the peace on behalf of tens of millions of human beings who are starving to death or dying of curable diseases. You cannot speak of peace on behalf of 900 million illiterates. The exploitation of the poor countries by the rich must cease. I speak on behalf of the children of the world who don't even have a piece of bread. I speak on behalf of the sick and lack medicine. I speak on behalf of those who have been denied the ight to life and human dignity." - Fidel Castro, from back of book.
