A United Nations expert has arrived in Cuba to evaluate the consequences of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States, focusing on its effects on the human rights of the Cuban population. According to the Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry, the expert’s visit aims to provide a firsthand assessment of the blockade’s impact on various sectors of national life. During her stay, which spans several days, she will engage in discussions with government officials and visit key areas affected by this unilateral policy. Upon her arrival, she was welcomed by Alejandro Gonzalez, Director of International Agencies at the Foreign Ministry, and Francisco Pichon, the resident coordinator of the UN system in Cuba. This marks her second visit to the country, following her participation in an academic event at the University of Havana in 2023. The visit underscores the ongoing international scrutiny of the US blockade and its implications for Cuba’s socio-economic landscape.
