“Cuba triumphs once again at the UN,” the organization wrote on social networks, and noted that the United Nations General Assembly once again approved by an overwhelming majority (187 votes in favor) the lifting of the United States blockade against Cuba.
Only the United States itself and its ally Israel voted against it, while Moldova abstained, the leftist force pointed out, and considered that, with its vote, the world also demanded that Cuba be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism created unilaterally by the White House.
The MIU pointed out that the resolution entitled “Necessity of ending the blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba” reaffirms “the sovereign equality of States, non-intervention and non-interference in internal affairs, as well as the freedom of international trade and navigation.”
The United States is defeated, reiterated the MIU, and noted that “we join the voices in the world demanding the end of the blockade of more than six decades against Cuba. Let it be fulfilled now!”, it emphasized.
The UN General Assembly approved this Wednesday, again with an over absolute majority, the resolution against the blockade.
Prior to the vote, representatives of governments from dozens of countries and regional organizations spoke out against the US blockade, demanding its elimination, as well as the removal of Cuba from the list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
