HAVANA, Cuba, April 20 (acn) Latin American and European lawyers are attending the 5th International Meeting on Constitution, Democracy and Political Systems, inaugurated at the University of Havana on Tuesday.

Participants include representatives from professional organizations from Brazil, Cuba, the United States, Chile, Italy, Mexico and Norway, according to information provided to ACN by Cuba's National Association of Jurists (UNJC).

The processes of regional integration in Latin America, from a constitutional perspective, is one of the main issues to be tackled at the event, which will run until Thursday under the auspices of the UNJC's Cuban Society of Constitutional and Administrative Law.

The source added that another of the themes for debate, as part of the delegates' objective of continuing the analysis of issues of contemporary reality, will be the analysis of the social and political transformations in the continent and their expression of constituent will.

It recalled that this kind of assessment will be made taking doctrinal, scientific, legal, sociological and historical criteria, begun at previous meetings, held in 1993, 2003, 2005 and 2007 as a starting point.

The event's organizers are promoting the exchange of knowledge, information and experiences among jurists, journalists, sociologists, philosophers, political scientists and other professionals and students interested in the analysis and interpretation of different phenomena in
countries, regions, or in this globalized world.

Created in 1977, the UNJC has non-governmental and legal status. It draws together 12,000 jurists, who are professors, researchers, lawyers, judges, district attorneys, notaries, consultants and advisors, among other categories.
