UN General Assembly Adopts Resolution Condemning US Blockade Against Cuba

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the economic blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba, with 130 votes in favor, 17 against, and 25 abstentions. The resolution calls for an end to the blockade.

This resolution once again highlighted the broad opposition of the international community to the US sanctions policy against Cuba and emphasized the unilateral economic pressures imposed by the United States.

Miguel Díaz-Canel, President of Cuba, responded to the approval of this resolution by stating that the world stands against the obvious pressure and extortion by the US to change the voting outcome, and has clearly voiced its opposition to the blockade against Cuba.

The US economic blockade against Cuba, which has lasted for decades, has had profound human and economic consequences for the Cuban people and has repeatedly been condemned by the global community as an action against the principles of human rights and sustainable development.
