The Cuban economy, a victim of the extraterritorial nature of the US blockade against Cuba.
New York, October 19, 2018. The extraterritorial nature of the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba for almost 60 years has been widened by the Helms-Burton Act, affecting all areas of the Cuban economy, and therefore, its people.
Some examples that stand out between April 2017 and March 2018 are:
Cuba advocates a world free of nuclear weapons.
New York, October 19, 2018.Cuba shares the deep concern over the existence of nuclear weapons.
ICT must be instruments for peace and development, considers Cuban representative to the United Nations.
New York, October 19, 2018. The Second Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, discussed Agenda Item 16 entitled, "Information and communication technologies for development”.
Extraterritorial nature of the blockade has an impact on Cuba's banking and financial relations with third countries.
New York, October 18, 2018. From the second semester of 2017, the blockade has had a negative and unprecedented impact on the Caribbean nation, especially on the banking and financial area. Although the enactment of the Helms-Burton Act and the extraterritorial nature of the blockade determined the creation of "antidote legislation" designed by third countries to protect themselves against possible damages caused by the implementation of this policy, the intimidating effect of the blockade against Cuba has prevented these regulations from being properly implemented.
