STATEMENT FROM THE CUBAN INSTITUTE OF FRIENDSHIP WITH THE PEOPLES (ICAP)
Havana, November 15, 2025
“Year 67 of the Revolution”
The Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) expresses its strongest and most energetic rejection of the recent statements by the United States government and the implementation of the so-called Operation “Southern Spear,” which constitutes a dangerous escalation of aggressive actions against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and a grave threat to regional peace and stability.
This military operation, justified under unfounded pretexts, represents a flagrant violation of International Law and the sovereignty of nations. This constitutes a deliberate and irresponsible act of imperialist interference that seeks to destabilize a legitimate government and undermine the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a “Zone of Peace,” emanating from the will of all the Heads of State and Government in our region.
Our people are well aware that those with a long history of collaborating with and using drug trafficking to achieve foreign policy objectives have been the United States itself, employing its intelligence agency (CIA) to create hubs and networks for drug distribution and consumption, arms trafficking, and to use drug-generated funds to support strategic allies (including paramilitary groups) in our region and the world.
Likewise, ICAP expresses its deep concern and strongly condemns the extrajudicial killings perpetrated by U.S. military forces in the Caribbean region. These practices violate the most fundamental international protocols of Maritime Law and Human Rights. Such actions must cease immediately and be investigated. We urge international organizations to no longer tolerate the impunity with which U.S. imperialism operates against the peoples of the world.
The ICAP reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with the people and government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, led by President Nicolás Maduro Moros, and with all the peoples of the Caribbean who defend their right to live in peace and sovereignty.
We call upon all social movements, progressive forces, and peoples of the world to raise their voices against this new imperialist aggression and to mobilize in defense of peace, justice, and friendship among nations.
For respect for the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples!
No to U.S. interference and military operations in our region!
