WE STAND WITH CUBA AND DEMAND AN END TO THE U. S. GOVERNMENT BLOCKADE AND BRUTAL MILITARY OCCUPATION OF THE CUBAN ISLAND OF GUANTANAMO BAY
The United States must immediately end its hostile policies and aggressive rhetoric against Cuba. For over thirty years now, the global community, through the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has voted massively demanding the US government to lift its illegal, diabolic and spurious economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba. And, in recent years, the world body has also demanded for the United States to remove the Caribbean nation from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
As the United Nations General Assembly prepares to vote this year on the US blockade against Cuba, we, the volunteers of the Hugo Chavez International Foundation for Peace, Friendship and Solidarity (HCIF-PFS) add our voices to demand an end to US blockade and other hostile policies and collective punishment meted on the Cuban population. The UNGA is expected this year to vote massively in few hours, against the US blockade on Cuba, which has a devastating impact on the economic situation of the Caribbean nation and negatively affects the living standards of the Cuban people. It also goes against United Nations Charter and most cherished principles that are defined in international and humanitarian laws.
As the Assembly is ready to vote again on the issue, we understand that the US is applying diplomatic pressure on allies to change their position. We urge all African member-states in the world body, to continue to stand firm in saying enough is enough, and reject this criminal blockade.
Besides, the harmful impact of the blockade and the listing of the Caribbean nation on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, US trade and commercial sanctions, and other collective punishments against Cuba constitute measures that create severe obstacles to humanity’s relationship. They create also severe obstacles, say for instance, to all those countries that want to do legitimate businesses with or make investments in the Caribbean nation.
This blockade regime is the longest and most harmful measures adopted against a sovereign independent state, since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945. It has lasted over sixty years now since it was designed by the Deep State and imposed on Washington as a foreign policy, against Cuba and the Cuban people. We have firmly and continuously opposed any such measures, due to their extraterritorial implementation and harm to Africa and other member-states of the United Nations.
We see it unacceptable any such measures that impede the world’s economic and commercial relations with Cuba. And, concluding, we want to remind the global community of its obligations to reject any unilateral decisions that threatened the existence of another sovereign independent member-state of the United Nations. The vote for an end to the US blockade against Cuba should be seen here as a naturally-acclaimed demand, which the global community owe Cuba.
God bless the Cuba!
