TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
CHAPTER 69A--CUBAN LIBERTY AND DEMOCRATIC SOLIDARITY (LIBERTAD)
SUBCHAPTER I--STRENGTHENING INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS AGAINST THE CASTRO
GOVERNMENT
Sec. 6031. Statement of policy
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the acts of the Castro government, including its massive,
systematic, and extraordinary violations of human rights, are a
threat to international peace;
(2) the President should advocate, and should instruct the
United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to
propose and seek within the Security Council, a mandatory
international embargo against the totalitarian Cuban Government
pursuant to chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
employing efforts similar to consultations conducted by United
States representatives with respect to Haiti;
(3) any resumption of efforts by any independent state of the
former Soviet Union to make operational any nuclear facilities in
Cuba, and any continuation of intelligence activities by such a
state from Cuba that are targeted at the United States and its
citizens will have a detrimental impact on United States assistance
to such state; and
(4) in view of the threat to the national security posed by the
operation of any nuclear facility, and the Castro government's
continuing blackmail to unleash another wave of Cuban refugees
fleeing from Castro's oppression, most of whom find their way to
United States shores, further depleting limited humanitarian and
other resources of the United States, the President should do all in
his power to make it clear to the Cuban Government that--
(A) the completion and operation of any nuclear power
facility, or
(B) any further political manipulation of the desire of
Cubans to escape that results in mass migration to the United
States,
will be considered an act of aggression which will be met with an
appropriate response in order to maintain the security of the
national borders of the United States and the health and safety of
the American people.
