The United States Government arbitrarily kept Cuba at level three – the worst category – in the State Department’s annual report on human trafficking, published this Monday.
Presented by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with Cindy Dyer, special ambassador to monitor and combat human trafficking, the biased and unilateral report accuses the Cuban government of not fully complying with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
According to the document, Cuba “is not making significant efforts to do so,” therefore “it remained at level three.”
Through this type of exercise, which is politically motivated, Washington authorities take the illegitimate right to judge others.
To justify the rating, the report, referring to the year 2023, uses contradictory and unbelievable arguments with which it continues to distort and defame the work of Cuban medical collaboration for decades, in more than a hundred countries.
Furthermore, it attempts to torpedo that cooperation, including future initiatives that could benefit the people of both nations in terms of Health.
The “penalty” at this level could imply sanctions for the Island such as the freezing of non-humanitarian and non-commercial aid, or the refusal of the United States to receive loans from multilateral institutions.
Cuban authorities have reiterated, over the years, that this qualification has no relation to Cuba’s true performance in actively combating human trafficking.
