The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) over the weekend called on the international community to resolutely oppose the threat or use of force by the United States against Cuba.
The integration bloc expressed in a statement its deep concern and firm rejection of the escalating declarations by the U.S. government that “threaten the use of force against the sister Republic of Cuba,” in a regional context marked by growing tensions that compromise the peace and stability of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Faced with this situation, the Alliance reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of International Law, the peaceful settlement of disputes, non-interference in the internal affairs of States, and the unrestricted respect for the self-determination, sovereignty, and independence of our peoples.
He also called on the international community to resolutely oppose the threat or use of force against the island and urged the United States government to prioritize the path of “respectful dialogue, on equal terms, without threats or conditions,” in full compliance with the UN Charter and with respect for Cuba’s sovereignty and independence.
The member countries of ALBA-TCP reiterated their commitment to actively contribute to understanding among nations and to the preservation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, “promoting dialogue and civilized coexistence as the only way to resolve differences.”
