Cuba condemns
U.S. radioelectronic aggression
GENEVA, January 23.—Cuba has lodged
a complaint before the World Radiocommunication
Conference against increased U.S. radio and
television aggression on the part of the United
States.
Wilfredo López, regulations and
standards director of the Cuban Ministry of
Informatics and Communications, condemned
Washington’s open violation of international law,
and the provisions of the constitution, agreements
and rules of radiocommunications.
Speaking at the first plenary
session of the conference, López said that the U.S.
continues broadcasting televised material into Cuba
from a flying aircraft, property of the U.S.
government. Additionally, these transmissions
seriously interfere with national radio broadcasting,
he noted.
The 2007 Radiocommunication
Conference established that any radio broadcasting
from aircraft transmitting exclusively to the
territory of another country without its consent
cannot be considered to be acting within
radiocommunications regulations.
It is unacceptable that, in the
execution of its policy of subversion against Cuba,
the U.S. government is ignoring and infringing
standards and commitments contracted by the
international community, López noted. (PL)
