AKP Phnom Penh, October 28, 2025 --

Cuba's Justice Minister Oscar Silvera denounced in this capital that, unfortunately, cyberspace is being used as a theater of operations to carry out acts of aggression and unconventional warfare against sovereign States.

“Cuba has been and is a victim of a hostile and politically motivated use of digital platforms, aimed at subverting our domestic order, inciting violence, and destabilizing the country,” Silvera underscored while speaking at the High-Level Segment for the signing of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime.

The justice minister emphasized that this kind of action must be categorically rejected by the international community, and added that speaking of an effective and equitable fight against cybercrime without denouncing the impact of unilateral coercive measures is also impossible.

The economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government against Cuba, as well as our country’s inclusion in Washington’s State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list, severely limits our access to technologies, software, platforms, and training, he said.

The Cuban justice minister emphasized that this policy not only violates international law but also creates a digital gap, making us more vulnerable to cyber threats.

Silvera stated, “True global cooperation against cybercrime is incompatible with the existence of blockades and sanctions that prevent countries from strengthening their defense capabilities.”
