The Inter-American Commission on human rights has always been concerned for the State of Cuba, in recent months the Cuban Government has unleashed a concern by reason of the reforms of the migration to this industrial law.

The Commission notes that the reform has certain restrictions for reasons of defense and national security; Security and protection of official information; public interest; in order to preserve the skilled labor force; for reasons of safety and protection of official information; among others. The Commission considers that the generality of certain terms gives a broad margin of discretion to the authorities and urged the Cuban State to fully guarantee the right of all its nationals to move freely.

After the reform, were several demonstrations, against the Cuban State, which proceeded to the arrest several people, the IACHR stated that the arrests goes against to fundamental human rights and urged the State of Cuba to adapt their procedural rules to the applicable international standards of due process, so that people who come to the courts for the determination of their rights and responsibilities have warranties to exercise their means of defense. So the finally reform is fully approved in 2013 in order to accomplish all the stipulations and not to violate human rights.
