New York Streets Become a Stage for Cuban Resilience: An Artistic Tribute Amidst the U.S. Blockade<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThe representative of Honduras, the country currently holding the pro tempore presidency of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), spoke in favor of lifting the blockade.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2015, CELAC member states welcomed the measures taken between Cuba and the United States to begin normalizing diplomatic relations,\u201d the Honduran diplomat said, emphasizing that these measures marked a new chapter in the history of peace and peaceful coexistence among American nations.<\/p>\n
However, \u201cCELAC regrets that the blockade is still a reality for Cuba,\u201d he said, adding that the Community believes the blockade is the main obstacle to Cuba\u2019s normal development.<\/p>\n
The Honduran representation confirmed that the report presented to the UN outlines the costs this policy imposes on the Caribbean country, which \u201ccauses significant harm to the well-being of the Cuban people and is contrary to the Latin American peoples\u2019 aspirations for peace as expressed in the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe U.S. blockade is also contrary to the letter, spirit, purpose, and principles of the United Nations Charter and International Law,\u201d the Honduran representative affirmed<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CELAC states reiterate their opposition to the application of laws and measures contrary to International Law, such as the Helms-Burton Act, including its extraterritorial effects,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Similarly, CELAC expressed its disagreement with Cuba\u2019s designation as a \u201cState Sponsor of Terrorism,\u201d which \u201cis unfounded and has reinforced the intimidating effect of restrictions associated with the blockade, undermining Cuba\u2019s ability to establish trade and financial relations with international partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe UN Charter establishes rights, obligations, and principles that no member should contravene or undermine. States must act in accordance with this document,\u201d the representative of Honduras said, reiterating that the U.S. must respond to the call of the world and its own people to end the blockade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
