That was the final conclusion of the Lawyers Tribunal which met in the European Parliament building last 16-17 November in Brussels.
The Tribunal was organized by International Association of Democratic lawyers (IADL) a.o. The panel of judges witnessed a long line of testimonies of serious violation of human rights and international law that led, among other things, to the death of childern, hunger among the Cuban population and economic damage to Cuban (15 million $ /day) and European companies and banks https://www.pressenza.com/2023/11/the-international-tribunal-on-the-us-sanctions-against-the-republic-of-cuba/ For an explanation of economic situation in Cuba see the presentation of Dr. Emily Morris , economist of London University College https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es9mgMAJkvU
Solidarity and humanitairian support
Meanwhile, many big and little organisations provide solidarity and humanitairian support: the UN General Assembly almost unanymous denounces the blockage every year https://press.un.org/en/2023/ga12552.doc.htm In a research-report, Oxfam showed the negative humanitarian effects on Cuban women and their childeren caused by the US-blockade. Many other persons and organisations as MediCubaEuropa (Switzerland), Maurizio Bonati from Instituto Mario Negri (Milan Italy), MEDICC (USA), Nurses Organisation Buurtzorg and CubaAdelante collect or finance medical equipment for Cuba (see f.i. https://www.stichtingcubaadelante.nl ). Other big organisations as the European Confederation of Trade Unions condemn limitations for commercial exchange or access to international financing.
Recommended: the famous American filmdirector Oliver Stone and Cuban journalist Liz Oliva Fernandez made a few short “grassroots” films interviewing Cuban people which give a clear insight in origin and consequences of the blockage: https://www.bellyofthebeastcuba.com/the-war-on-cuba
