OSPAAAL, the Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina (in English, Organization of Solidarity of the People of Asia, Africa & Latin America), is a Cuban political movement whose stated goals include fighting globalisation, imperialism, and neoliberalism and defending human rights. OSPAAAL was founded in Havana in January 1966 following the Tricontinental Conference, a meeting of leftist delegates from countries around the world.
The OSPAAAL Posters collection consists of two posters. Poster captions are repeated in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, reflecting the organization's international membership.
