“You can’t go there! Responding to the renewal of Cuban travel restrictions”
As a means of adhering to the 45-year-old economic embargo against Cuba, the Bush administration has greatly increased efforts to limit any form of travel to the country. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") has the authority to enforce regulations that restrict U.S. citizens from providing any form of economic support to Cuban nationals, including any type of monetary transaction with Cuban businesses. While in the past, OFAC was not adequately funded to properly enforce the regulations, Bush has ensured that penalties against U.S. citizens who travel to Cuba will be assessed.
The NLG Cuba Subcommittee has been at the forefront of challenging these penalties. Considering the ever-increasing amount of economic "enemies" declared by the U.S. government, we expect to face a similar process for travelers to any country who happens to make the list, regardless of the humanitarian reasons for traveling. This training will introduce lawyers, law students, legal workers, and concerned community members to the OFAC process and other related legislation, as a means of strengthening challenges to the limits on the right to travel.
