Abstract

With the 14th December 2014 decision to initiate a new process of negotiations leading to the reestablishment of diplomatic relations, the Presidents of the United States and Cuba gave way to a new historical moment for the hemisphere by virtue of which Latin America and the Caribbean region might perform a role in the process under conditions of greater autonomy, sovereignty and independence. If a new and positive relation wants to be built the United States and the Inter-American system shall supersede their historically little functional visions so that greater spaces in the region are not lost.
