UN General Assembly
1967

65. The immense majority of the Latin American countries have severed diplomatic and commercial relations with the Government of Cuba. They have, however, gone no further. Their object was to form a sanitary cordon in order to protect their way of life, but they have never tried to interfere in the internal affairs of Cuba or to replace the regime in power there by one chosen by themselves. 66. On the other hand, the persistent, blatant and calculated action of the Government of Cuba in intervening in the internal affairs of the Latin American countries is beyond all doubt a scandalous violation of the principle of non-intervention enshrined in the United Nations Charter and in General Assembly resolution 2131 (XX). The international community and the world Organization which is its authorized mouthpiece cannot remain indifferent to such acts; for that reason, and in accordance with the decision unanimously adopted by the States members of our regional system, the facts will have to be carefully analysed here.
