The Summit of the Americas has demonstrated huge differences between Washington and a significant bloc of countries from the rest of the continent. However, only a multilateral approach can solve the severe problems that shake the Latin American region. Only a genuine dialogue based on the principle of sovereignty and non-intervention can create a consensus to establish a new era in the US-Latin America relationship. It is the way to build an authentic space to solve common problems. As long as interventionism continues, possible progress made at the meeting will be ephemeral. Sadly, the summit will be just a handful of good intentions.
