Cuba Can Rehabilitate President's Progressive Cred
~snip~
A unanimously adopted resolution at the Ibero-American Summit meeting last weekend in Argentina confirmed once again that the Obama Administration has not diminished its total isolation on Cuba:
In the defense of the free exchange and transparent practice of international commerce, the application of coercive, unilateral measures that affect the well-being of the peoples, their access and full enjoyment of the benefits of international cooperation in all spheres is unacceptable.
We reiterate the most forceful rejection to the application of laws and measures contrary to international law, such as the Helms-Burton Act, and urge the government of the United States of America to put an end to their application.
We ask the government of the United States of America to abide by the provisions of 19 successive resolutions approved in the General Assembly of the United Nations and put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade it maintains against Cuba.
