INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EXILES Last fall, NACLA participated in the International Conference on Exiles and Solidarity in Latin America in the 1970s. The Con- ference, held in Venezuela from October 21-27, was sponsored jointly by the University of the Andes and by the International People’s Tribunal (successor to the Bertrand Russell Tribunal on Latin America). A decade of brutal military repression has created the largest stream of political exiles in Latin American history. The Conference was called to examine the tremen- dous problems confronting the ex- iles, to denounce the military regimes and to analyze the rela- tion between U.S. imperialism and Latin American repression. As part of the effort to understand the role of the United States NACLA’s representative, Roger Burbach, presented a paper entitled “Strategies of U.S. Imperialism in Latin America.” Reprints of the 20-page paper are available from NACLA for $1.50 including postage.
