Havana, March 3. - One of the high-priority actions in 2025 of the Cuban Association of the United Nations (ACNU, for its acronym in Spanish) consisted of denouncing the tightening of the U.S. blockade against Cuba, its impact on the work of its organizations and collaborators, demanding its lifting, and the urgency of removing the country from the illegal list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Norma GoicocheaEstenoz, president of ACNU, detailed to the Cuban News Agency the implementation of a considerable number of activities in this regard, including the XXI Forum of Cuban Civil Society against that criminal policy in key sectors, such as health, food, and the rights of persons with disabilities.
She cited as examples written submissions to the Human Rights Council, national and international meetings, both in-person and online, panels, exchanges, presentations, interviews, gatherings, and academic programs, "all of which allows us to substantively demonstrate the denunciation of the genocide against Cuban society."
According to the director, last year's plan also included Human Rights, International Peace and Security, defense of sovereignty and the self-determination of peoples, Terrorism, the UN 2030 Agenda, Links with non-governmental organizations and non-governmental bodies based in the nation, exchanges with representatives of other civil society organizations, and Dialogues with the European Union.
Additionally, it included Presence on social and digital media, Model United Nations (replicated), and internal operations and work of its commissions: Culture and Education, Health, Economy, Press, Environment and Sustainable Development, and Human Rights.
GoicocheaEstenoz announced that for 2026, ACNU's plan also comprises numerous tasks, led by the promotion of the work of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro in the year of his centenary and the defense of the Homeland in the face of the complex international scenario and the growing threats from the administration of President Donald Trump.
