US State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSoT)

Cuban Foreign Ministry Statement On Removing Island From State Sponsors Of Terrorism List

January 15, 2025 Ed Newman, Resumen English. , , ,
The decision announced today by the United States corrects, in a very limited way, aspects of a cruel and unjust policy. It is a correction that occurs now, on the verge of a change of government, when it should have been carried out years ago, as an elementary act of justice, without demanding anything in return and without fabricating pretexts to justify inaction, if it was desired to act correctly. In order to exclude Cuba from the arbitrary list of state sponsors of terrorism, it should have been enough to recognize the truth, the total absence of reasons for such a designation and the exemplary performance of our country in the fight against terrorism, which has even been admitted by agencies of the United States government.

Nearly 600 Parliamentarians From 73 Countries Call On US To Take Cuba Off “State Sponsor Of Terrorism” List

September 22, 2024 People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
People of conscience across the world continue to put pressure on the government of the United States to remove Cuba from the “State Sponsor of Terrorism” list. This time, a group of nearly 600 parliamentarians from 73 different countries penned a joint letter condemning the continued inclusion of Cuba on the list. The letter was coordinated and published by the Progressive International (PI) on February 20. The lawmakers are calling on their respective governments to “take immediate action to advocate for [the designation’s] removal.” Cuba was added to the US’s list of “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (SSoT) in 2021 by conservative President Donald Trump, but Biden, Trump’s more liberal successor, has thus far done nothing to remove this designation.

123 Countries Do Not Believe Cuba Sponsors Terrorism

A declaration signed by 123 countries, issued from the United Nations Human Rights Council, demands the United States remove Cuba from the List of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism, the effects of which reinforce the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the US Government. The First Secretary of the Party’s Central Committee and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, expressed his gratitude through social networks for this expression of support. Published in the Foreign Ministry of the Island, the document again points out that the unjust accusation goes against the fundamental principles and the imperative norms of International Law.

The US List Of Countries Allegedly Sponsors Of Terrorism

June 20, 2024 Alfred De Zayas, Scheer Post. , , ,
In the US State Department’s toolkit, unilateral coercive measures (UCMs) are used to blackmail, bully and intimidate States that do not readily accept US hegemony. Placing a country in the US list of countries sponsors for terrorism is intended to lend some phony legitimacy to UCMs imposed against targeted States. Unilateral Coercive Measures are not “sanctions”, since the US has no legal or moral right to sanction or “punish” other states.  Nor do the American UCMs satisfy the legal criteria to be considered “retorsion” or “countermeasures” for purposes of the International Law Commission’s code on State responsibility.
