New Delhi
26 July 2013
Spurred on by Edward Snowden’s revelations about
the U.S. snooping on internet- and telephone-users worldwide and provoked by
the subsequent diversion of President Evo Morales’s plane to Austria ostensibly
because of suspicion that Snowden was on board, Bolivia will host a three-day
international summit from July 31 to rally support for the defence of human
rights and sovereignty. It will be held the day after the summit of Bolivarian
Alliance for the Peoples of America (ALBA) concludes in Ecuador, where again
these issues would have been discussed by the participating heads of state.
The Bolivian ambassador to India, Mr Jorge Cardenas Robles,
told the media in New Delhi on Thursday (26 July) that the summit to be hosted
by his country would discuss among other things the fallout of Snowden’s
revelations, the “act of terrorism” against President Morales’ aircraft, armed
aggression by foreign powers in Libya and now Syria and the alleged violation
of international treaties and conventions by certain countries.
Mr Robles described the acts of espionage by the U.S. as an
attack on the freedom of people around the world and said that such acts
demonstrated the seriousness of the violation of the basic rights of the
people.
