Families of three of the four fallen Brothers to the Rescue pilots -- shot down by Cuban warplanes more than four years ago -- still want justice.

Wednesday, they announced a plan they think will help them get it: the distribution of an Organization of American States report, released last week, that condemns Cuba for the action taken Feb. 24 1996.

Prepared by the OAS Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the document includes a play-by-play transcript of communications between the Cuban military command and the MiG pilots that shot down two unarmed Cessnas flying near Cuba but in international airspace. Pilots Carlos Costa and Mario de la Peña and passengers Armando Alejandre Jr. and Pablo Morales died.

The report finds the Cuban government ``responsible for the violation of the right to life'' and ``responsible for the violation of the right to justice.'' It also states that the Cuban government has failed to respond to ``repeated requests for information.''

The families are shipping copies of the report to the presidents, leaders and diplomats attending the upcoming Ibero-American Summit in Havana, Nov. 13-15.

``It is particularly significant that the commission released this report right before the Summit,'' said Maggie Khuly, Alejandre's sister. ``The very same countries that will participate in the Summit found the government of Cuba guilty of murder and called it a violator of human rights.

She said she also would make the report available to the international press.

The relatives said they were satisfied with the report, particularly because it was an unbiased affirmation of their emotion-laden claims.

``This is a reconfirmation that Fidel Castro is a liar,'' said Miriam de la Peña, who lost her son in the incident. ``All these countries going to the summit here confirmed that they were in international airspace and unarmed.''

Citing Cuba's human rights record, Nicaraguan President Arnoldo Aleman and Costa Rican President Miguel Angel Rodriguez have announced plans to boycott the summit.

Brothers to the Rescue founder and leader Jose Basulto, estranged from the victims' relatives except those of Morales, said he, too, wants to capitalize on the upcoming summit. He is working with a group of dissidents who will present the Forum of the Third Millennium in Havana, a conference of 35 government opposition groups, in November. Though no date is set, it will coincide with the Ibero-American Summit.
