Cuba: Ibero-American Resolution
Question: Have the Ibero-American states drafted a resolution condemning the attacks? Did Cuba sign the resolution? Has there been any response from Cuba? Answer: The Ibero-American community issued a resolution on September 15 expressing condolences to the United States, its commitment to the fight against terrorism in all its forms and reaffirming its conviction that terrorism is a grave world threat. As far as we know, Cuba is the only country that did not sign the resolution. We do not know if they have issued a statement concerning the resolution. While the Cuban government condemned the attack, unfortunately statements made by Castro and other Cuban officials contained gratuitous comments of no consolation to those who have suffered so greatly from these attacks.
