Government leaders of Caribbean Community (Caricom) member countries concluded the 31st Inter-session meeting yesterday, and reiterated their concern given the U.S. government’s intensification of sanctions and activation of the Helms-Burton Act’s Title III, to tighten the economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, and denounced as “unjustifiable the application of laws and measures of an extraterritorial nature contrary to international law".
In addition to rejecting the escalation of U.S. aggression, the 15 heads of government present condemned the campaign against Cuban international medical cooperation, and recognized the benefits of such assistance over the years, which has helped to build health systems to benefit peoples. The group’s final declaration also rejected statements that, in providing assistance, Cuba engaged in a form of trafficking in persons.
