A press release from Mouvement de la Paix<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mouvement de la Paix demands the immediate end to the illegal and inhumane blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba for the past 60 years and respect for the sovereignty of Cuba and all Caribbean states.<\/p>\n

In recent statements, the President of the United States announced his intention to “deal with Cuba,” stating that “Cuba will be next on the list” because “Cuba continues to pose an extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security. Following the pressure exerted on several Latin American countries and the military aggression against Venezuela, Cuba is once again being targeted, even though it poses no threat to the United States.<\/p>\n

Let’s think about this together! The facts speak for themselves: The USA is a country of 390 million inhabitants (43 times the population of Cuba\u2014a small country of 9 million inhabitants), it is the world’s largest military power with approximately $900 billion in annual military spending; it has 1.8 million soldiers (active and reservists) compared to only a few tens of thousands of soldiers in Cuba. The USA has 7,500 nuclear warheads, while Cuba possesses no nuclear weapons and is determinedly fighting for the total elimination of nuclear weapons and practicing a policy of peace and cooperation, as seen in the medical field. It is not Cuba that has a military base in the USA, but the USA that maintains, against Cuba’s will, a military base at Guantanamo, infamous as a detention and torture center, particularly during the illegal US war in Iraq.<\/p>\n

For more than sixty years, the Cuban people have suffered a blockade condemned every year by the United Nations General Assembly (1). This blockade causes serious human suffering by preventing normal access to essential products; it is an obstacle to the country’s economic development and to international cooperation since any person or economic entity (banks, various organizations) who would like to cooperate with Cuba are systematically subject to sanctions.Les nouvelles sanctions d\u00e9cid\u00e9es par les \u00c9tats-Unis contre Cuba et contre les pays apportant leur aide \u00e0 Cuba (ordre ex\u00e9cutif\u00a0 du 1 mai 2026) (2) \u00a0constituent des violations suppl\u00e9mentaires du droit international. L\u2019objectif\u00a0 de ces sanctions\u00a0 est quasiment\u00a0 de ruiner l\u2019\u00e9conomie du pays et de soumettre la population \u00e0 des souffrances et des p\u00e9nurie sources de souffrances et susceptibles\u00a0 de mettre en cause la coh\u00e9sion sociale du pays.<\/p>\n

Beyond individual political opinions, the issue today is to defend the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law: respect for the national sovereignty of states, peaceful and political resolution of disputes and conflicts, and the rejection of the use or threat of force in international relations. The rule of law must prevail over the use of force.<\/p>\n

\n How can we best express solidarity with Cuba? <\/p>\n

How can war crimes be documented, stopped, punished and prevented?<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

France, present in this region of the world through Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and other territories, has regularly condemned the blockade at UN General Assemblies. Faced with the strengthening of the blockade, France must make its voice heard at the Security Council and the UN General Assembly. It must exert all necessary energy to ensure that the regular and near-unanimous condemnation by the UN General Assembly translates into concrete measures of economic and financial aid for Cuba. France cannot remain silent in the face of the measures dictated by the USA to the national and international banking system. It must take steps to remove the obstacles preventing French charitable and humanitarian organizations from transferring their aid to the Cuban people; it must speak out against the militarization of the Caribbean and against illegal U.S.A. military interventions in the region, whether carried out directly by the U.S.A. or by private militias or military or paramilitary organizations, all of which increase tensions and threaten regional peace.<\/p>\n

We call upon the French government, parliamentarians, local elected officials, trade unions, associations, and citizens’ organizations to take action to achieve:<\/p>\n

\u00b0 The immediate end of the blockade against Cuba, as demanded by the United Nations General Assembly (1);<\/p>\n

\u00b0 Respect for the sovereignty of Cuba and all Caribbean states;<\/p>\n

\u00b0 Respect for international law and the Charter of the United Nations;<\/p>\n

\u00b0 The establishment of a zone of peace and cooperation throughout the Caribbean and Latin America region.<\/p>\n

The Cuban people and all Caribbean peoples have the right to live in peace, to cooperate freely, and to build their future in mutual respect and solidarity, as enshrined in the Charter of CELAC (3), which aims to build peace in Latin America and the Caribbean through the development of a culture of peace as defined by the UN and UNESCO. Long live peace and friendship among peoples.<\/p>\n

2- Le Monde \u2013 AFP, May 1: Donald Trump announces strengthened sanctions against Cuba: In an executive order, the US president imposes sanctions on individuals and entities involved in the energy sector. \u201cUS President Donald Trump announced on Friday, May 1, a strengthening of US sanctions against Cuba, which \u2018continues to pose an extraordinary threat\u2019 to US national security.\u201d<\/p>\n
