Statement of the Cuba Soberana Humanitarian Project
TO THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC OPINION
Cuba Soberana Humanitarian Project denounces the serious and immediate humanitarian impact of the sanctions that block Cuba's access to fuel, energy, and essential goods, along with the penalization of third countries that attempt to supply them.
The result is direct and foreseeable human harm that falls upon the civilian population and a sovereign people.
Fuel and energy shortages compromise the operation of hospitals, emergency services, water systems, public transportation, food production and distribution, and the preservation of medicines, generating real shortages and a deterioration of vital services in the daily lives of the population.
In practice, these measures transform economic pressure into collective punishment, contrary to humanitarian principles and basic rights such as health, food, and human dignity.
From a humanitarian perspective, no policy is justifiable when its direct consequence is the collective punishment of a people.
Access to energy and basic supplies cannot be used as tools of pressure when their absence jeopardizes the lives and well-being of millions of people.
Sanctions hinder humanitarian aid and legitimate cooperation, exacerbating civilian suffering and reducing the capacity for solidarity-based responses aimed at alleviating it.
Therefore, we urgently call upon international public opinion, the media, humanitarian organizations, and governments to highlight the human impact of these sanctions and demand their immediate review, given the harm they cause to the civilian population.
We believe in dialogue as a way to resolve conflicts between nations and we defend the right of the Cuban people to live without measures that deepen civilian suffering or hinder humanitarian cooperation.
Sincerely,
Soberana Cuba Humanitarian Project
Brussels, Belgium
