In a bold move, the Communist Labor Party (PCT) of Santo Domingo has issued a fervent appeal to the United Nations (UN), urging the international body to take decisive and immediate action to end the longstanding economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba. The PCT’s official statement underscored the critical need for sustained international diplomatic efforts to dismantle the embargo, which has faced widespread condemnation in numerous UN General Assembly resolutions. Manuel Salazar, the PCT’s Secretary General, passionately declared that ‘Cuba is not alone,’ labeling the blockade as a blatant violation of international law and a severe infringement on the human rights of the Cuban people. Salazar further emphasized that the majority of nations recognize the detrimental impact of this unilateral policy. Reaffirming its steadfast solidarity with the Cuban people and government, the PCT called on the UN to implement more robust measures to protect Cuba’s sovereignty and foster its comprehensive social and economic development.
