US Radio Bombing of Cuba Found Illegal

Geneva, Nov 14 (Prensa Latina) The World Radiocommunication Conference
recognized Wednesday that US transmissions against Cuba are illegal,
thus causing irritation among US representatives at the forum.

After three weeks of negotiations, the conference of technical experts
from several countries rejected this practice.

"Radio transmissions from an aircraft only toward the territory of
another government, and without its consent," contravenes radio
communication regulations," the conference decided.

Diplomats interviewed by Prensa Latina said "this is a firm rejection
of measures implemented by the Bush government in the last years.

The plenary meeting also indicated that Washington has not stopped the
prejudicial interference of Cuban broadcast services, despite several
requests by the Radiocommunications Office.

Regarding that, it urged the United States to adopt the necessary
measures to resolve this and asked the International Telecommunications
Union to inform on related progress in coming meetings.

After the remarks, the US delegation decided to withdraw from the
agreement and, clearly challenging the meeting, said the illegal
transmission policy toward Cuba will be maintained.

According to participants, with its stance the United States
corroborated its disrespect of multilateralism, and its once again
arrogant style in an international event.
