Havana, July 19 (RHC)-- Cuban deputies on Friday analyze three draft laws of great relevance for the country, as part of the agenda of the Third Ordinary Session of the National Assembly of People's Power (parliament), in its 10th Legislature.

In the morning session, the parliamentarians debate two norms related to Administrative Procedures and Decorations and Titles. Both legislations will be presented by the Minister of Justice, Oscar Silvera.

The Migration Law project will also be submitted for consideration by the deputies, which seeks to regulate the Cuban migration process, under a systemic conception of development, aimed at achieving regular, orderly and safe migration.

In 1972, the Migration Law was enacted, the regulations of which were published in 1978 and were one of the most relevant changes to that policy in Cuba.

Four decades later, in 2012, an update process began through several decrees, prior to several modifications introduced in 2015, 2017 and 2019.

This Thursday, the deputies approved the Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information, an unprecedented norm in the legal panorama of the Caribbean country.

According to the Minister of Science, Technology and Environment, Eduardo Díaz, this legal instrument constitutes the highest expression of the political will of the State and the government to make its management transparent in a context of economic and media war.

Before its presentation in the National Assembly, a broad consultation process and a comparative study of 123 transparency and access to information laws around the world were carried out. Of the 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, 28 of them have this type of legislation.

Since the approval of the Constitution of the Republic in 2019, Cuba has maintained intense legislative activity, with the approval of more than 40 laws.

The Third Ordinary Session of the National Assembly will take place until tomorrow, Saturday, with an eye on core issues in the socioeconomic sphere of the Caribbean nation. (Source: Prensa Latina)
