CELAC statement regarding Cuba’s
inclusion on the list of state sponsors of terrorism
The
Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC)
has received with concern, the decision by the U.S.
State Department to once again include Cuba on its
list of state sponsors of international terrorism,
despite rejection of the measure by the
international community and U.S. citizens.
CELAC highlights paragraph 41 of the Havana
Declaration, as well a, the Special Declaration of
Support for the Struggle Against Terrorism in All
Forms and Manifestations, both approved by Latin
American and Caribbean Heads of State and
Governments at the 2nd CELAC Summit, held January
28-29, 2014.
CELAC reaffirms its total opposition to the creation
of unilateral lists that accuse states of allegedly
sponsoring and supporting terrorism, and insist that
the U.S. government put an end to this practice.
