A proposal to award the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize to a contingent of Cuban doctors who specialise in disaster situations and serious epidemics was endorsed by four members of the British Parliament.

According to the official site of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign in the United Kingdom, the four members of the House of Commons – Paula Barker, Ian Byrne, Dan Carden and Kim Johnson, highlighted the humanitarian aid provided by Cuba and the Henry Reeve International Contingent of Doctors.

With the four formal nominations of the legislators, 16 requests submitted by British parliamentarians are accumulated, to which another eight were sent by academics from the United Kingdom and gynecomastia treatment melbourne

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize have a deadline of January 31 of each year and can only be made by parliamentarians, academics, awardees, judges of international courts, and active or retired members of the Committee.

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that since its creation in 2005, the Henry Reeve International Contingent of Doctors Specialised in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics has saved hundreds of thousands of lives in areas of Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia, which have been hit by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and epidemics.

    • Well well I can’t believe we can see eye to eye on this one. But this is a new year so perhaps things will change.
      I too think this is a splendid choice from the Noble Prize Comittee. Despite the US calling them slave labour and human trafficking. They have made a difference in many Caribbean Countries in the early days of the Pandemic.
      I do not agree with a Communist System of governance, but to each his own. There are good and bad side of it just like our capitalistic system. And for clarity a Communist system is democratic as well. A Dictatorship is not democratic.

  2. I agree with Charles on this one. I hope they win, too. Their unselfish humanitarian assistance to many, even in Antigua, will never be forgotten. Forward Ever! Backward Never. Long live Antigua/Cuba solidarity.
