A campaign to end all unilateral coercive measures in the Americas
#AmericasWithoutSanctions is a campaign to end all unilateral coercive measures imposed on the countries of the Americas, specifically those harming the peoples of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Economic coercive measures, commonly referred to as “sanctions”, bring suffering and death to the most vulnerable populations in the targeted country — children, the elderly, the sick and the poor.
The United States and its geopolitical allies impose unilateral sanctions as a regime change tactic intended to destabilize economies and undermine support for foreign governments. Although that rarely happens, the populations of targeted countries are subjected to illegal collective punishment simply because the United States does not like their leadership.
Unilateral sanctions are illegal under the UN Charter and violate the Geneva Conventions against collective punishment of a population. They violate national sovereignty, fundamental human rights and the right to development. We demand a more just foreign policy! Learn more
