FOR some weeks now, the campaign against the Helms-Burton law has gained strength in social networks as the Cuban people reject US attempts to destroy their revolution. For over 60 years, the US government has tried to seize Cuba through different means but has been unsuccessful thanks to the resistance of the Cuban people and their determination to remain free.

The May 2 enforcement of the Helms-Burton Act by the United States is a direct attack on the sovereignty of Cuba and its political and economic systems. It is also a potential threat to the sovereignty of all nation-states.
