Cuba Readmitted to The Organization of American States

According to the Associated Press, The Organization of American States voted to revoke the 1962 measure suspending communist Cuba, overturning a landmark of the Cold War in the hemisphere.

“The Cold War has ended this day in San Pedro Sula,” said Honduran President Manuel Zelaya immediately following the announcement. “We begin a new era of fraternity and tolerance.”

The action doesn’t mean Cuba will return to the 34-member body that helps coordinate policies and mediates disputes throughout the Americas. Cuban officials have repeatedly insisted they have no interest in returning to an organization they consider a tool of the United States.
