While sanctions are usually seen as legitimate means of enforcing established norms, the Cuban embargo itself appears to be the wrongful act, and its persistence puts into question the importance and function of international law. This book examines the history, legality and effects of the US sanctions of Cuba over the last fifty years. Nigel D. White argues that the Cuban embargo has become a matter of politics and ideology, subject to apparently illegitimate coercion that has resulted in a fifty-year global toleration of what appears to be a serious violation of international law.
