Media Accountability System

Cuba has not developed a media accountability system. Self-regulatory bodies, such as press councils or media ombudsmen have not been created.

Cuba only has a statutory code of Ethics drafted by the Union of Journalist of Cuba (Unión de Periodistas de Cuba - UPEC) and approved by the VIII Congress of the UPEC on July 2008.
