A/69/112 The illegal radio and television broadcasts against Cuba are intended to promote illegal immigration and encourage and incite to violence, contempt for constitutional order and the perpetration of terrorist acts. The use of inf ormation for the purpose of subverting the internal order of other States, violating their sovereignty and meddling and interfering in their internal affairs is illegal. These broadcasts against Cuba constitute violations of the international norms in force in the constitution of the International Telecommunication Union, of which the preamble acknowledges the growing importance of telecommunications for the preservation of peace and the economic and social development of all States, with the object of facilitating peaceful relations, international cooperation among peoples and economic and social development by means of efficient telecommunications services. The Government of the United States of America is continuing to transmit audio broadcasts on the medium-wave commercial band 24 hours a day every day. This frequency band is not reserved for services to other countries. Other commercial radio stations provide services to anti-Cuban organizations to transmit broadcasts intended to subvert internal order and misinform the Cuban people. Such broadcasts are transmitted on the short-wave band by various of these organizations, with the full knowledge of the Government of the United States. Between April 2013 and April 2014, the average number of hours per week of broadcasts of subversive content to Cuba ranged from 1909 to 2070, using 27 frequencies. In September and October 2013, two North American stations broadcasting in southern Florida and whose signals are picked up in the western and central parts of Cuba began to broadcast programming of a counter-revolutionary nature. Anti-Cuban broadcasts by the Martí radio and television station via international and domestic satellite systems of the United States also continued. Furthermore, the “ZunZuneo” case, a complex plot supported by millions of dollars from the United States Government and intended to promote subversion in Cuba using a messaging service on social networks, was exposed this year. This illegal programme, which was active until 2012, was used to collect the private data of Cuban users, without their consent, and to process their profiles by gender, age, tastes and affiliations of various kinds, for use for political purposes. ZunZuneo, like other subversive operations, violates Cuban law and United States legislation, such as the Controlling the Assault of Non -Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-187), adopted by the United States Congress in December 2003, which prohibits the sending of commercial or other types of messages without the express consent of the addressee. This was yet another violation of the constitution of the International Telecommunication Union since such uses of new technologies, and social networks in particular, are clearly not conducive to peaceful relations and international cooperation by means of efficient telecommunications services. The harmful practice of sending unsolicited mail (spam) has been the subject of over 10 recommendations of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau and 8/18 14-56479
