Bill Nelson on OAS

Wednesday, June 3, 2009
U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) stated,

"The Obama Administration has lifted restrictions on travel to Cuba by Americans with family there – a move that I believe helps unify families, which should be one of our goals. As for the question of the OAS readmitting Cuba, such an action should be tied to democratic reforms in the country, including free and open elections and the release of political prisoners. After all, the OAS is an organization founded on democratic principles, the rule of law and respect for human rights."
