UN experts condemn US executive order imposing fuel blockade on Cuba
GENEVA – UN human rights experts* today condemned the executive order issued by the President of the United States on 29 January 2026 declaring a purported national emergency and authorising the imposition of trade tariffs on imports of oil from third countries to Cuba.
“The U.S. executive order imposing a fuel blockade on Cuba is a serious violation of international law and a grave threat to a democratic and equitable international order,” the experts said.
