The US blockade against Cuba. An update

Abstract

The economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against Cuba responds to a punitive
political and administrative framework of a dynamic nature, which due to its dispersion, extension and
complexity should be better known. The aforementioned characteristics require systematic monitoring of
legal norms and their practical application due to the impact they have on the lite of the Cuban people. This
work summarizes its essential features, calculates the damage it causes and explains the position defended
by Cuba for more than six decades. Use the historical method to synthesize the analysis from different
sources. lt concludes that these unilateral coercive measures must cease due to their illegitimate and genocidal
nature, the high economic cost they have and the rejection that they arouse in public opinion.
