In a statement addressed to the national and international public, the organization reaffirmed its commitment to the sovereignty and dignity of the Cuban people. It described Washington’s policy as unilateral, illegal, and extraterritorial—noting that it has now extended into the energy sector.

The group, established on June 14, 1990, keep that Cuba is a peaceful nation—one that stands in solidarity with other peoples, does not commit acts of aggression against other nations, and simply asserts its right to develop autonomously and in peaceful coexistence.

Furthermore, the organization stated that governments around the world uphold the dignity of their own peoples when they demand the lifting of coercive measures against the Caribbean nation.

“Cuba is not a threat; the blockade is,” the statement emphasized. It was signed by Roberto Payano, coordinator; Isabel Tejada, head of organization; and Taty Ramirez, secretary.

The organization also expressed its hope that United Nations resolutions might one day become binding, helping to guarantee the right of all peoples to determine their own destiny, free from subordination to foreign powers.

On October 28, for the thirty-fourth time, the United Nations General Assembly will hold a vote on a resolution calling for an end to the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba.
