Title III of the Helms-Burton Act
Definition
A provision of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act of 1996 that creates a private right of action in U.S. federal courts, allowing U.S. nationals whose property was confiscated by the Cuban government to sue anyone who traffics in that property. Presidents suspended this right from 1996 until 2019.
