| | Daily Kos: Cuban embargo on its last legs |
| | While many embargo supporters expect Bush to veto any easing of the embargo, he may not be able to do so -- the provision is buried within the treasury department's appropriations bill. | | | As in, the lobbyists are buying votes to end the embargo. | | | But the embargo exists because of Cuban-American money. |

| | Embargo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Not only is an American business required not to participate in a secondary embargo, but is also required to report all attempts to get a business to participate in a secondary embargo. | | | This occurs when one country pressures a business to stop doing business with a third country over issues which the business is not directly involved. | | | Although the law of the United States does not prohibit participation in an embargo, it does prohibit participation in a secondary embargo. |

| | Diplomats and security experts agree, however, that the arms embargo was never sufficiently strict to prevent the export of weapons to China under special license. | | | The issue was supposed to be on the agenda for an EU summit meeting in June, but officials say the decision could be delayed until next year. | | | The climbdown will be a serious embarrassment for the EU's efforts to forge a common policy over an issue that had already divided the 25 member states, according to diplomats and security analysts. |

| | Memorandum on the Alleged "Arms Embargo" against Bosnia and Herzegovina |
| | Had broadening of the coverage of the embargo to countries other than Yugoslavia ever been intended, the Security Council would have amended 713 to add the requirement of consultations between the Secretary-General and the governments of those countries as a necessary prelude to the ending of the embargo by the Council. | | | If such an embargo were in place, lifting it would require the unanimous consent of the five permanent members. | | | When the embargo resolution 713 of 9/25/91 was enacted, BiH too lacked sovereign nation status. |

| | Impact of the U.S Embargo on Health and Nutrition in Cuba |
| | In practice, according to U.S. corporate executives, the licensing provisions are so arduous as to have had the opposite effect. | | | A humanitarian catastrophe has been averted only because the Cuban government has maintained a high level of budgetary support for a health care system designed to deliver primary and preventive health care to all of its citizens. | | | For several decades the U.S. embargo has imposed significant financial burdens on the Cuban health care system. |

| | Stop That Book - Why do publishers "embargo" books like Hillary Clinton's new memoir? By Jen Bluestein |
| | In Blumenthal's case, a publicist might calculate that embargoing his book would help build public anticipation—and that juicy tidbits, slowly revealed, might generate more media coverage and therefore higher sales. | | | And as one magazine editor describes it, an embargo is often honored to the letter of the agreement but not the spirit—reporters sometimes pass information on to other reporters who plan to use the information for different purposes, for example. | | | In book publishing, an embargo means that the publishing company won't release advance copies of the book to the media—and that if members of the media do get a copy of the book before its publication date, they're not allowed to review it before that date. |
