Background The U.N.

Since 2006, many governments and observers have expressed serious concerns with the Council’s disproportionate attention to Israel and apparent lack of attention to other pressing human rights situations.

Regime elites oppose competition. A man is arrested during a demonstration against the government of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel in Havana, July 11. Photo: yamil lage/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images Cuba’s primal scream for liberty on July 11 has gone viral and exposed the grisly methods used by Cuba’s gestapo to keep the lid on dissent. But Cubans need outside help. They need the civilized world to come together and ostracize the barbarians in Havana. This requires U.S. leadership. Unfortunately, the Biden administration hasn’t seemed up to the task. Repression and propaganda are the only two things that Havana does well. U.S. intervention to protect against human-rights violations is not practical. But the Biden administration could launch a campaign to inform the public about the realities of Cuban communism. Vice President Kamala Harris might label it “the root causes” of Cuban poverty. Debunking the Marxist myth that sanctions impede Cuban development would be a good place to start. For decades, Cuba has blamed what it calls the U.S. “blockade” for island privation. Regime talking points have been repeated ad nauseam in U.S.

Envoys who fund political parties in the, receiving State possess a powerful method to gain influence in the host country. And yet, international law has been slow to react to such activities, and even today, there is no express norm banning the diplomatic provision of material means. This article explores existing rules of diplomatic law, but also bans on corruption and bribery which exist under general international law and which have an impact on situations of this kind. But it also takes into account the fact that not all rules in the field restrict diplomatic funding.

  • Interview with Stephen F. Dachi
    Library of Congress Interview with Stephen F. Dachi The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History ProjectInformation Series STEPHEN F. DACHI Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: May 30, 1997 Copyright 2001 ADST Q: Today is May 30, 1997. This is an interview with Stephen F. Dachi. This is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. To begin at the beginning, could you tell me when and where you werborn and something about your family? DACHI: I was born in 1933 in Hungary. My father was a dentist. My mother was a physician. They both died when I was three years old in 1936, before the war. My grandparents “inherited me.” They happened to live in Romania. So, I went there just before the Germans marched into Austria, which is my first memory of arriving in Timisoara to live with my grandparents. Then I spent World War II there with them trying to survive. After the war, in 1948, an uncle and aunt who had gone to Canada before the war brought me out there. Q: During the war, what went on then in Romania, particularly as a Hungarian? There was a massive change of borders and everything else at that time. Did you get caught in that? Interview with Stephen F. Dachi http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000263 Library of Congress DACHI: Very definitely, both that and the Holocaust. It has always been hell for Hungarians living in Romania. Kids would curse and harass us if they overheard us speaking Hungarian in the street.
