Havana, December 4.- Anyone who fails to acknowledge that more than 80% of today's Cuban population has lived in a blockaded nation would be untruthful, whose main culprit has ignored, for more than three decades, the continuous demands of the international community at the UN to put an end to this genocidal policy.
Dreams of progress as a country, personal goals, and collective aspirations have been truncated for more than 60 years due to the comprehensive machinery of an undeclared war against the economy, society, and daily life of the largest island in the Antilles.
The damage these measures cause to the population's standard of living is not accidental nor a result of collateral effects; it is the consequence of a deliberate purpose to punish the Cuban people as a whole, stated in 2021 the leader at the helm of the Revolution, Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, knowing full well that, although it is claimed that this genocidal pressure tool is aimed at the Government, its effects are not limited solely to the sanctioned State.
Even though the Island has publicly denounced the challenges of its blockaded economy, the intensification with new and systematic sanctions has persisted, making unilateral coercive measures a flagrant violation of human rights.
Like Cuba, other nations whose example of self-determination seems to instill fear in the empire, have also been victims of this modern form of violence.
The world knows it, and it acknowledged so last June, by declaring, at the UN General Assembly, December 4 as the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures, so that the date serves not only to denounce this crime, but also to demand its immediate cessation and promote alternatives that prioritize peoples over geopolitical interests.
