El cerco económico impuesto por el gobierno estadounidense al Estado cubano ha propiciado circunstancias de permanente excepcionalidad frente a la comunidad internacional. La política de Guerra Fría respaldada en la Ley Helms-Burton desde 1996, comenzó en 2019 una nueva etapa de acciones acrecentadas con la activación del Título III de dicha ley, para impedir la inversión extranjera en Cuba y favorecer un cambio de régimen. Este artículo pretende argumentar el impacto del bloqueo como medida coercitiva unilateral en un contexto sociopolítico irregular que se ha extendido por más de seis décadas en el caso cubano. Se analiza la nacionalización de 1959 como acto de soberanía estatal, el carácter ilegítimo y extraterritorial del bloqueo en tanto viola el Derecho Internacional Público y constituye un acto irracional de guerra económica, así como una arbitraria sanción política que perjudica los más elementales derechos humanos.
The economic siege imposed by the U.S. government on the Cuban State has placed circumstances of permanent exceptionality in front of the international community. The cold war policy supported by the Helms-Burton Act of 1996, estarted in 2019 a new stage of actions began with the activation of Title III of that law, to prevent foreign investment in Cuba and to favor a regime change. This article aims to argue the impact of the blockade as a unilateral coercive measure in an irregular socio-political context that has extended for more than six decades in the Cuban case. It analyzes the nationalization of 1959 as an act of state sovereignty, the illegitimate and extraterritorial nature of the blockade insofar as it violates International Public Law and constitutes an irrational act of economic war, as well as an arbitrary political sanction that harms the most elementary human rights.
