Dear Foreign Minister Enrique Reina, 
Dear Ministers and other representatives of our region,

Counterpunch: Biden must remove the designation of Cuba as terrorist-sponsoring nation.

W.T. Whitney Jr

President Obama in 2015 removed Cuba from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism (SSOT). President Trump reversed that action in January 2020, thereby aggravating economic difficulties for Cuba. President Joe Biden needs to end the designation. The time is now for representatives, senators, and other elected officials to pressure him.

Experts from the UN Human Rights Council qualified the blockade against Cuba as a violation of International Law and the human rights of the Cuban people.

Havana, April 1, 2024.- The Special Rapporteurs of the UN Human Rights Council on the Right to Food, the Right to Development, Extreme Poverty and the Negative Impact of Unilateral Coercive Measures on the enjoyment of Human Rights, in an unprecedented communication, have formally described the blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba, aggravated by the country's inclusion on the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, as a serious violation of International Law, including the principle of non-compliance.
