REMARKS BY CARLOS FERNÁNDEZ DE COSSÍO, GENERAL DIRECTOR OF UNITED STATES AFFAIRS AT THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF CUBA, ON THE HELMS-BURTON ACT.
Law Helms-Burton has no impact whatsoever, practical impact in Cuba. It’s a US Law with no jurisdiction whatsoever in Cuba and cannot be applied in any sovereign country that respects its sovereignty. Its jurisdiction is limited to the United States. In addition to that, Cuba passed a law in 1996 that defined that Helms-Burton was null and void of any meaning or impact in our country so in practical terms it has no effect whatsoever in Cuba.
