The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), through a special statement released Saturday, expressed the need of putting an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the United States against the Cuban people.The official document reads that the 33 member States of the regional bloc "express their strongest rejection to the coercive and unilateral economic measures implemented due to political reasons against sovereign countries, which affect the welfare of its people and are conceived to prevent them from exerting their right to decide, for their own will, their own political, economic and social systems."Also, they reiterated their strongest condemn to the enforcement of laws and measures "contrary to the international law," such as the Helms-Burton Act, enacted during the administration of the democrat Bill Clinton in 1996, including its extraterritorial effect. Thus, they urged the US government to stop its implementation.The CELAC member States demand Washington to fulfill the continual resolutions passed by the United Nations General Assembly, as well as to answer the repeated calls made by countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to end this blockade, which "causes substantial and unjustifiable damages to the welfare of the Cuban people and it harms the peace and coexistence among the American nations," the statement reads.
