With 130 votes in favor, 17 against, and 25 abstentions, a Cuban resolution calling for an end to the blockade was approved. For the thirty-fourth consecutive time following two days of debate. In which the international community expressed its overwhelming opposition to this policy.
The vast majority of the international community once again condemned the illegal and criminal U.S. blockade against Cuba before the United Nations General Assembly. Despite the lies and pressure exerted by the U.S. government.
Miguel Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, joined in celebrating this latest victory on X. The thirty-fourth consecutive time that the majority of the international community has expressed its rejection of this policy.
“This victory for #Cuba today at the United Nations General Assembly is a victory for the heroic Cuban people. Also who refuse to surrender in the face of economic strangulation, threats, and abuse by the U.S. government,” the president wrote.
During the multilateral forum, the extraterritorial reach of the blockade was denounced. It was argued repeatedly that the issue transcends a bilateral matter between two states. Instead threatening freedom of trade, international law, and the right to self-determination of a member nation of the organization.
Over the course of two days at the UN headquarters in New York, dozens of arguments were presented. Moreover the vast majority supporting the Caribbean nation’s righteous demand for the lifting of this policy of collective punishment.
