Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reactivation of the law allows former owners of confiscated property to seek damages from companies involved in commercial activity related to that property. This puts travel companies that operate in Cuba at risk of financial liability.

US legal and political pressure on Cuba has intensified through Supreme Court rulings and Congressional action, while Cuba is simultaneously implementing economic reforms in response to US sanctions.
