Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996 (Helms-Burton) allows U.S. persons to bring an action in U.S. federal court to seek damages for “trafficking” in property confiscated by the Cuban government after the 1959 revolution. However, Title III has never had practical effect, because this right of action has been suspended by all U.S. administrations since that right was codified in 1996.
