摘要

The Organisation of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America (OSPAAAL) was formed at the close of the Tricontinental Conference in Havana (1966) with the aim of promoting effective action to understand and overcome the major problems of the Third World. Considered the largest counter-propaganda organisation ever to exist in the Global South, OSPAAAL managed to weave networks, ties and alliances of effective solidarity between the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America for more than half a century. In this scenario, the European solidarity movements with the peoples of the Third World played a decisive role in shaping OSPAAAL and the Tricontinental sphere since the late sixties. Through direct connection with notable personalities immersed in the broad spectrum of the New Left, OSPAAAL became a reference of global solidarity with the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America for decades in Europe. Taken together, this wide range of unexplored North-South relations constituted a unique framework of exchanges within the revolutionary wave that swept the global Cold War world from the Global sixties to the end of the twentieth century.
