PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF PEOPLE'S POWER EXERCISES PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY IN DEFENSE OF PEACE AND SOVEREIGNTY OF THE CUBAN PEOPLE

In compliance with his powers enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic and other laws in force as President of the National Assembly of People's Power and of the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba, and in representation of our people; Deputy Esteban Lazo Hernández has sent immediate official communication to the presidents of 10 inter-parliamentary organizations.

The Communist Party of Ireland condemns the escalating US attacks on the sovereign Republic of Cuba and in particular the illegal “indictment” of the revolutionary leader and former President of the Republic Raúl Castro Ruiz.

The US has long been a rogue state which ignores international law and the UN Charter as it sponsors and commits acts of terrorism worldwide. It uses its economic and military power to destabilise countries that refused to bend the knee to US overlordship. 

It “justifies” its actions in the Americas by citing the Monroe Doctrine, a unilaterally promulgated US edict which has no legal standing internationally. The US believes that it stands above international law while at the same time maintaining that US domestic law has universal application.
