This Friday, the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (Parlatino) urged the Government of the United States (USA) to remove Cuba from its list of
countries supposedly “sponsors of terrorism”, in addition to reiterating its
rejection of unilateral coercive measures, which it considers contrary to international
law and harmful to the development of peoples.
“A few days after the outgoing government of the
United States asserted that its agencies had no evidence to keep Cuba on that list and proceeded
to withdraw, the new government ordered its
reinstatement,” the Parlatino criticized in a statement.
Below is the full text of the document:
The Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (PARLATINO)
once again urges the United States government to exclude the Republic of Cuba from the list of state
sponsors of terrorism.
Historically, PARLATINO has opposed the use of unilateral
coercive measures, considering them contrary to international law, as ratified in the declaration of the 38th Ordinary Assembly in December 2024.
In addition, PARLATINO has repeatedly rejected the inclusion of
Cuba in that list, describing it as unfair and baseless.
A few days after the outgoing government of the
United States asserted that its agencies had no evidence to keep Cuba on that list and proceeded
to withdraw, the new government ordered its reinstatement.
The PARLATINO recalled that the arbitrary inclusion of
Cuba in this unilateral list seeks to protect the economic, commercial and
financial blockade imposed on that country for more than six decades, despite the fact that every
year the United Nations General Assembly calls for its lifting since 1992.
This policy of economic suffocation causes serious
material damage, fuels emigration, violates the right to development of the Cuban
people and has an extraterritorial character, affecting third parties in their
commercial or financial relations with Cuba.
