OAS moves toward lifting embargo on Cuba
The Organization of American States plans to effectively lift an 11 year old embargo on Fidel Castro's Cuba at a special conference. The draft resolution would allow member nations to renew trade and diplomatic relations when they choose. The United States and 13 other nations back the measure, with Chile and Peru delaying but signaling possible opposition. Some Latin leaders warn against undermining the inter American defense system, while others including Argentina and Mexico pledge support. Cuba had been suspended from the OAS since 1962 due to ties with the Soviet Union and guerrilla activity.
