Dear sirs:

On behalf of the “Committee Fidel Castro Nobel Peace Prize 2010”, we hereby  address to you in order to formally submit to the Nobel Institute the Petition applying for the committee's kind consideration by the aforementioned Institute of the proposal that the Nobel Peace Prize 2010 be awarded to Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz.

In the declaration attached forthwith, you will find  in detail the reasons due to which we submit this application, in the understanding that the above mentioned Statesman has made extraordinary contributions to the health and education of many Peoples of the World, by means of sending medical brigades, the founding of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), and the alphabetization using the Cuban method “Yes, I can”.

Likewise, we enumerate his thorough campaigns in favour of the defense of the environment, which started at the Summit “Eco-Río 92” and even before, as well as his decisive contribution with a view to obtain the peace in Africa, by helping to end the racist regime of the apartheid, within other contributions dealing with international peace, thus deserving this prize.

The whole World could feel certain that in the case of our petition is listened to, Fidel Castro has made no contribution to waging any war, thus the essence of the Nobel Prize would maintain its true meaning of PEACE.

Without fear of being superb, we believe that such postulation has found an echo, sympathy and support all over the World, as evidenced by the thousands of signatures that we have received from sixty countries of the five continents, after only one month work.  Every time that Dr. Castro Ruz has been proposed as a candidate for this Prize, as this is not the first time, his nomination has garnered considerable international support.

Therefore, we timely submit to your consideration the following elements:

 

The statement we have spread, on the basis of which the signatures were asked for;

All the signatures received from citizens of the world, who wish that the Nobel Peace Prize 2010 be awarded to someone, who has worked selflessly during many decades towards progress, health, welfare, culture, peace and national and social liberation of the peoples of Latin America and the world;
