The oil-rich Cabinda enclave is vital for the economic survival of the Angolan regime, and it is equally vital for Luanda to prevent chaos in its immediate neighbourhood, which could be exploited by the Cabinda separatist groups, or even by Savimbi's UNITA.

On their face, these limitations do not violate international standards, which allow restrictions to freedom of expression when they are necessary for the respect of the rights or reputation of others or for the protection of national security, public order and public health or morals.
Article 2 of the ICCPR states that a party to the Covenant should “adopt such laws or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to the rights recognized in the…Covenant.”  According to its international obligations, therefore, the government of Angola should enact implementing laws and regulations as a matter of urgency.
Article 8 of the press law states that “[t]he National Council for Media Communication is an independent body aimed at safeguarding the objectivity and impartiality of information, as well as the freedom of expression and thought in the press.” The very establishment of a statutory body to regulate the media is in itself a concern.

But the effect of the outcome will most certainly be to improve that situation and to restore to the long-suffering Iraqi people their personal freedoms and dignity." Kirkpatrick also discussed the human rights situation in other countries around the world, including Cuba, Burma, China, Togo, Turkmenistan, Iran, North Korea and Belarus.
Calling on the commission to face the task confronting it, Kirkpatrick said the victims of abuses in these countries "cry out for meaningful action." The 59th session of the Commission on Human Rights runs March 17 to April 25.

JOHANNESBURG, 1 Aug 2006 (IRIN) - Separatists in Angola's oil-rich Cabinda enclave signed a peace deal with the government on Tuesday to end a 29-year civil war, but dissenting members of the independence struggle vowed to fight on.
Central to the argument for self-determination among the separatists is that, unlike mainland Angola, Cabinda was never a Portuguese colony, but a protectorate.
Angola is Africa's second-biggest oil producer and is expected to pump two million barrels a day by 2007, with the disputed Cabinda enclave and its offshore wells accounting for about 60 percent.

 Cuba Faces U.S. Threat: "Socialism in One Country" No Answer
As the Soviet state degenerated, its leaders sought an illusory refuge from imperialism by opting for "socialism in one country," and it was ultimately defeated.
That is, while it is supposedly possible to create "deformed workers' states" as in China and East Europe without revolutionary leaderships, Cuba's leadership was revolutionary and therefore achieved even more: a genuine, not deformed, workers' state on the road to socialism.
"To Cuba, the principles of non-interference in the internal affairs of states, no matter what the reason may be; of the non-use of force in international relations; of the peaceful settlement of disputes between states; and of respect for the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of all nations are essential principles of our international order.
