...countries,” according to the DRCLAS website. The obstacles that the Cuban Studies Program faces are great, but they are far from being deterrents for academic exchange. “Harvard never ‘embargoed’ Cuban scholars nor did Harvard seek to stand in the way of any member of our community studying or engaging in research in Cuba. The U.S. government, especially over the past five years, did both,” Jorge I. Dominguez, Vice Provost for International Affairs, wrote in an email. “Visas for Cuban scholars to visit...

In April, after the missile launch, Beijing did not stand in the way when three North Korean companies were moved from a U.S. sanctions list to a U.N. sanctions list - meaning that all nations are obliged to cut off business ties to those companies. The breadth of the sanctions now is likely to be much wider: not only must Beijing not run interference for North Korea, diplomats say, it needs to actively...
