La OLAS y la crisis política en América Latina

Abstract

The creation of the Latin American Organization of Solidarity (OLAS) during the Tricontinental Conference in Havana in January 1966, and its formal constitution in the First Conference of the Latin American Organization of Solidarity in August 1967, also in Havana, represents the beginning of a new stage within the process of the revolutionary left in Latin America in search of a line and a political conduct appropriate to the new world circumstances. The purpose of this article is to analyze the "OLAS doctrine", understood as the set of ideas that inform its ideological foundation, its organic structure and its action program, as they emerge from the study of the documents emanating from the conferences, from the public presentations and reports and from the written views of its most representative ideological spokespersons.
