A/67/167 Government was requested to take all necessary steps with a view to eliminating those two cases of interference with television services in Cuba. • Radio Regulation 23.3, limiting television broadcasting outside national frontiers. A report issued in January 2009 by the General Accounting Office of the United States of America, an official government agency, recognizes the violations of international norms and domestic legislation committed by the programme of radio and television broadcasts by the United States Government against Cuba. The World Radiocommunication Conference, which met in Geneva in 2007, adopted conclusions that found transmissions from aircraft from the United States to Cuba to be in violation of the Radio Regulations. The conclusions endorsed by the plenary stated that “a broadcasting station operating on board an aircraft and transmitting solely to the territory of another administration without its agreement cannot be considered in conformity with the Radio Regulations”. These conclusions have legal standing in the work of the International Telecommunication Union. The World Radiocommunication Conference thus endorsed the 1990 ruling of the former International Frequency Registration Board that television broadcasts from an aerostat with programming directed to Cuban national territory were in violation of the Regulations. At its 54th meeting, held in July 2010, the Radio Regulations Board of the International Telecommunication Union adopted the following decision: After carefully considering the report of the Director and the submission from Cuba (document RRB10-2/3 (Add.1)), the Board noted with regret that interference to the broadcasting stations of Cuba by the transmissions from the United States is continuing, and decided to maintain its previous decisions in this matter. The Board also noted the request to the “Bureau, in its capacity as Executive Secretary of the Board” to raise the issue of harmful interference to the VHF/UHF broadcasting stations of Cuba at the forthcoming Plenipotentiary Conference. Recognizing the sovereign right of every Administration to raise any issue at the Plenipotentiary Conference, the Board confirmed that the two representatives of the Radio Regulations Board at the 2010 Plenipotentiary Conference and its Executive Secretary will be ready to provide any relevant information and advice that might be required at the forthcoming Plenipotentiary Conference. More recently, in February 2012, the World Radiocommunication Conference conferred a mandate on the Director of the Radiocommunication Bureau of the International Telecommunication Union to follow up and report at the next Conference, to be held in 2015, on the interference that the United States is causing to Cuban radio and television services through its acts of radio-electric aggression. The Conference thus confirmed the validity of the conclusion adopted at its previous meeting, which recognized the illegality of the United States Government transmitting anti-Cuban radio and television broadcasts using aircraft. The hostility of the United States Government towards Cuba has been manifested through the economic, financial and trade embargo imposed for over fifty years, which also affects information and telecommunications: 10 12-43414
