Trinidad and Tobago has disassociated itself from calls urging an end to the US blockade of Cuba and to uphold the region’s Zone of Peace policy, which were made in the Bogota Declaration at the recent 10th Summit of heads of state and Governments of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).
At the summit, Barbados High Commissioner to T&T, David Comissiong, also called for CELAC to hold fast to its collective denunciation of the United States’ “illicit unilateral blockade of CELAC member Cuba as a gross violation” of the region’s internationally recognised designation as a Zone of Peace—and that CELA must also denounce extra-judicial killings of regional citizens.
