The EU-U.S. compromise on the Helms-Burton and D'Amato Acts

Article Abstract:

The European Union and the US in May 1998 settled a dispute concerning the Helms-Burton and D'Amato Acts. The Helms-Burton Act strengthened the US trade embargo against Cuba and aided US nationals in obtaining compensation for property expropriated in Cuba. The D'Amato Act imposed sanctions on Iran and Libya for supporting terrorism. Both laws were widely criticized in Europe as violations of international law. However, the May 1998 compromise failed to answer many questions.
