The American Embargo Against Cuba: The Challenge of Extraterritoriality

In: The Fletcher forum of world affairs, Band 36, Heft 1

Abstract

Joy Gordon examines the legality of the embargo and the broad international condemnation of the US embargo on Cuba, in the UN General Assembly and elsewhere. However, despite the issue of its legality, the US embargo significantly compromises not only Cuba's trade with US companies, but also its trade with companies and banks located in third countries, as well as undermining the work of the United Nations and other international organizations in Cuba.
