Soberana is a go!
There is a small island country, bathed in the waters of the Caribbean. A country as small as David, with the same courage when the time comes to face a giant.

Geo-semiotics of human rights
The law is not the same for peoples who have never experienced social justice. The objective conditions in any given place determine the degree of awareness and practice of human rights, no matter how many specialized organizations are active there. What does the Charter of Human Rights mean where illiteracy, hunger, unemployment and insalubrity reign? Little or nothing.
