The Non-Aligned Movement expresses its deep concern regarding 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 the supply of oil to the country and to sanction third States that maintain legitimate commercial relations with Cuba.
Such measures have extraterritorial effects and adversely 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 UN Charter, international law, the multilateral trading system as well as the norms and principles governing friendly relations among States.
The Movement once again reiterates its call to the Government of the United States of America to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba that constitutes the major impediment for its full development and to eliminate the additional unilateral measures imposed since 2017, including the unilateral and arbitrary designation of Cuba as State Sponsor of Terrorism, which strengthen the embargo and cause huge 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.
