Cuba denounces the devastating impact of the US blockade at the Human Rights Council.
Geneva, 19 September 2025 — Cuban Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson strongly condemned the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States government against Cuba, describing it as a massive, flagrant and systematic violation of the human rights of the entire Cuban people.
The Cuban diplomat urged the Council to take note of the repeated calls by special procedures for an end to these unilateral coercive measures, which continue to be ignored by Washington.
