Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba rejects, in the strongest possible terms, the US State Department’s certification of Cuba as country that is not cooperating fully with the United States counterterrorism efforts, published by the Federal Register of that country on May 25, 2021. The administration of Donald Trump had issued that same certification on June 2, 2020 as a prior step to Cuba’s inclusion in the US State Department list of States that allegedly sponsor international terrorism which was published on January 11, 2021, a few days before the inauguration of President Joseph Biden, with the clear purpose of conditioning his behavior towards our country. It is about an absolutely unfounded accusation used to pursue political purposes, intended to justify the attacks against Cuba, including the inhumane economic, commercial and financial blockade that is being suffered by our people. The Ministry likewise rejects the US unilateral and selective practice of singling out countries in arbitrary lists with regards to terrorism, which is void of any legitimacy and contrary to International Law and the UN Charter. Our country has been a victim of 713 terrorist actions, most of them organized, funded and perpetrated by the government of the United States or by individuals and organizations that are provided with safe heaven or operate with impunity in that country. Such actions have taken a toll on the lives of 3 478 persons and caused disabilities to 2 099 Cuban citizens. Human and economic damages have been estimated at 181 billion dollars.
