Havana, Cuba: The prison system, judicial guardianship and the adoption of minors in Cuba will be topics that will mark today in this capital the second day of the VIII International Congress Abogacia 2019, Prensa Latina publishes.

Other topics to be discussed by the delegates in the Convention Center will be parental rights, contractual dilemmas derived from the economic regime of marriage, family law, justity and responsibility, among others.

On the opening day, lawyer Rodolfo Dávalos said that the activation of Title III of the United States Helms-Burton Act is part of a legal war that reinforces the economic blockade against the Caribbean island.

The economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States almost six decades ago" is also a war, with legal clothing”, Dávalos said.

This attack against Cuba is made with economic coercion, but at the same time "it is a legal war”, the professor insisted on the meeting that ends tomorrow.

The United States is not concerned with justice as an objective, but to cause damage to those they consider their enemies, they use mass media to manipulate public opinion, Dávalos explained.

Maliciously, Title III of the Helms-Burton Act is designed to unleash a legal war at the right time, the academic said.

The aforementioned norm affects the economy of Cuba, because it creates concern and uncertainty in foreign investors, and seeks them to leave the Caribbean country, he said.

It has a political objective, there are vulture funds taking advantage of all this, Dávalos warned, and commented that it is very rare that claims about old nationalized properties on the island came from a single law firm, a small one.

"The current US administration makes war on us, and in war we fight, and the legal war will carry the same weapons: Law, with the only difference that real law assists us, international law”, the lawyer said.
