Díaz-Canel describes the Helms-Burton Law as an involution of history
['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: 2021-10
The President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, described this Friday the Helms-Burton Law, exercised against Cuba by the United States for 25 years, as “an illegal monstrosity” and “a regression in history”. Through his official Twitter account, the president wrote: ¨Today marks 25 years of an infamy¨, in reference to the signing on March 12, 1996 of the regulations that internationalized the economic, commercial and financial blockade against the territory insular.
The law was signed by the then US president, William Clinton (1993-2001), and due to its extraterritorial nature it is considered a violation of numerous statutes of international law regarding political and economic relations. According to the Cuban head of state, this provision “seeks to return us to the colony and slavery”, therefore, it is “an involution in history,” he said.
Years after its coming to light, the supposed Law for Cuban Freedom and Democratic Solidarity, as it is also called, maintains its purposes of economically asphyxiating the country and making its development impossible, representatives of the island in different spaces signified.
Nations and international entities issued pronouncements condemning the regulations, among which are the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, the Community of Caribbean States, and members of the European Union.
