Description
1992 Constitution of the Republic of Cuba
Book Summary
This work contains the full text of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Cuba, a fundamental update to the 1976 charter. The reader will find a key legal-political document for understanding the evolution of the Cuban State, which incorporates essential modifications regarding foreign status, states of emergency, and political-administrative division. It is a legislative testament to the institutional response to the "special period" crisis and reaffirms the socialist nature of the system, offering a direct view of the ideological and legal foundations that govern the country.
What is it about?
The 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Cuba is a revision and expansion of the 1976 Constitution. The text maintains the socialist structure of the State but introduces significant changes to adapt to a new historical and economic context. Among the most relevant additions are a chapter dedicated to foreign status, which regulates the situation of non-nationals; another on the state of emergency, which establishes legal mechanisms for exceptional situations; and a chapter detailing the new political-administrative division of the country. The work reflects the desire to consolidate the irreversibility of the Cuban socialist system following the fall of the Eastern European regimes, and its preamble explicitly states the influence of the ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin as the ideological basis of the State.
