Cuba accuses US at UN of violating international law

Original: The United States is also violating international law and effecting crimes against humanity. International law prohibits

Cuba has brought accusations against the United States at the United Nations, saying US sanctions and policies deliberately inflict humanitarian suffering on the Cuban people. The claim holds that collective punishment and targeting civilians are prohibited under international law, and similar criticism is being raised regarding US measures against Iran. Supporters of the accusation frame both countries' situations as crimes against humanity under international humanitarian standards.

Why now: Cuba's formal accusation at the UN against US sanctions has reignited debate over whether US policy toward Cuba and Iran breaches international law.
