A/67/167 integrity of States, to the detriment of their security in the civilian and military fields. This resolution also appropriately stresses the need to prevent the use of information resources and technologies for criminal or terrorist purposes. In this regard, Cuba reiterates its condemnation of the aggressive escalation by successive United States administrations of their radio and television war against Cuba which violates the international rules in force governing the radio-electric spectrum. That aggression is being perpetrated without considering the damage that could be caused to international peace and security by creating dangerous situations, such as the use of a military aircraft to transmit television signals to Cuba without its agreement. During 2011, an average of 2,193 hours of illegal transmissions against Cuba were broadcast on 30 frequencies from the United States each week. Several of these broadcasters belong to or offer their services to organizations linked with known terrorist elements who live in and act against Cuba from United States territory, broadcasting programmes that include incitement to sabotage, political attacks and assassination, among other topics of radioterrorism. These provocative broadcasts against Cuba constitute violations of the following international principles: • The fundamental principles of the International Telecommunication Union, as set out in the preamble to its constitution. The content of the television programming broadcast by the Government of the United States of America against Cuba is subversive, destabilizing and deceptive in character, contradicting those principles. • Provisions CS 197 and CS 198 of the constitution of the International Telecommunication Union stating that all stations, whatever their purpose, must be effectively established and operated in such a manner as not to cause harmful interference to the radio services or communications of other member States. • Agreement at the ninth plenary meeting of the World Radiocommunication Conference held in November 2007, which stated in paragraph 6.1 (g) “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”. • Radio Regulation 8.3, establishing that internationally recognized frequency assignments recorded must be taken into account by other administrations when making their own assignments, in order to avoid harmful interference. • Radio Regulation 42.4, prohibiting the operation of a broadcasting service by an aircraft station at sea and over the sea. • A ruling of the Radio Regulations Board, which at its 35th meeting in December 2004 established that United States transmissions on 213 MHz resulted in harmful interference with Cuban services and requested the United States Government to take the relevant measures to halt them. Furthermore, since September 2006 the Radio Regulations Board has been requesting the United States Government to take measures to eliminate interference on 509 MHz, with no response to date. In the summary of decisions of the 50th meeting of the Board, which ended on 20 March 2009 (document RRB09-1/5), it was once again stated that the transmissions were illegal and the United States 12-43414 9
