New York, 3 February 2026.- The Non-Aligned Movement expresses its deep concern over the recent announcement by the Government of the United States of new extreme measures aimed at further tightening the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed against the Republic of Cuba, including actions intended to obstruct fuel supplies to the country and to sanction third States maintaining legitimate commercial relations with Cuba.
These measures have extraterritorial effects and negatively impact not only Cuba and its people, but also third States and international economic relations, and constitute a flagrant violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law, the multilateral trading system, and the norms and principles governing friendly relations among States.
The Movement once again reiterates its call on the Government of the United States of America to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba, which constitutes the main obstacle to its full development, and to eliminate the additional unilateral measures imposed since 2017, including the unilateral and arbitrary designation of Cuba as a State sponsor of terrorism, which further reinforces the embargo and causes enormous material losses and economic damage to the Cuban people.
The Non-Aligned Movement reaffirms its solidarity with the people and Government of the Republic of Cuba and calls upon the international community to uphold international law, multilateralism, and the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.
