A declaration signed by 123 countries, issued from the United Nations Human Rights Council, demands the United States remove Cuba from the List of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism, the effects of which reinforce the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the US Government.
The First Secretary of the Party’s Central Committee and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, expressed his gratitude through social networks for this expression of support.
Published in the Foreign Ministry of the Island, the document again points out that the unjust accusation goes against the fundamental principles and the imperative norms of International Law, and that the process through which the designation for that list is made is neither clear nor transparent.
The permanence of it causes extraordinary negative consequences, due to its intimidating effect on other countries and the obstacle to economic-financial operations of third parties, for fear of being fined. It also hinders access to food, medicines, fuel, medical equipment and other basic goods.
The signatory nations called for the promotion of international solidarity and cooperation, instead of applying unilateral measures that affect rights and development of Cuba.
