Argentina Senate for Lifting US Blockade of
Cuba
Buenos Aires - Argentina''s
Senate has unanimously passed a bill
requesting the lifting of the US economic,
commercial, financial blockade against Cuba.
Senators also voiced their strong rejection
of this "unilateral coercive measure that
violates the principle of people's
self-determination and international law."
To support their demand, the text says that
since 1962, in the wake of the failure of
the Bay of Pigs invasion, Cuba has suffered
the devastating effects of the so-called
"embargo" imposed by the US on its economy.
The use of the word "embargo" cannot hide
the fact that they are measures of coercion
and aggression amounting to an illegal
blockade, adds the text.
"We are certain that the time has come for
the lifting of the unfair, illegal US
blockade on Cuba and for this reason we urge
our peers to approve this draft
declaration," the document concludes.
