Argentina Calls for Cuba to be Removed from the List of Terrorist States

Buenos Aires, July 12 (RHC) The Permanent Assembly for Human Rights (APDH) of Argentina today joined the voices demanding that the U.S. government remove Cuba from a list of alleged state sponsors of terrorism.

 

In a communiqué, the APDH demanded the immediate and definitive removal of the Caribbean nation from the list, which was unilaterally drawn up by the U.S. State Department.

 

It also demanded an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington on the largest of the Antilles for more than 60 years.

 

There are no motives or reasons whatsoever to justify this classification, which is a biased and arbitrary decision that pursues despicable motives, the APDH message points out.

 

It also warns that this measure allows decisions and actions that are detrimental to the island, denying it access to basic goods and services that are essential for a dignified life. This decision reinforces a criminal encirclement aimed at a radical political, social, economic and cultural change, violating the principle of sovereignty and self-determination of peoples, it adds.

 

The document also points out that the unilateral designation, as published by the United Nations, violates the fundamental principles of international law and human rights, including the right to food, health, education, economic and social rights, the right to life and development.

 

The Permanent Assembly for Human Rights, faithful to its principles and history, advocates respect and compliance with international law and demands the removal of Cuba from this list and the lifting of all restrictions and measures that maintain an inhumane and brutal blockade that for decades has caused enormous suffering and sacrifices to the people of the island, the communiqué concludes.
