On November 1st and 2nd, the UNGA will consider a draft resolution on the need to end the blockade against Cuba.
Since 2019, the US government has escalated the blockade measures to an extreme, more harmful, cruel and inhumane dimension. It deprives Cuba of the income essential to acquire food, fuel, raw materials and equipment. It causes lack, difficulties and anxiety for Cuban families. It is a massive, flagrant and systematic violation of Human Rights.
At current prices, the accumulated damages amount to 159 thousand 84 million dollars. In the last year it reached 4,867 million, that is, 405 million dollars per month.
Cuba's permanence on the arbitrary and spurious List of State Sponsors of Terrorism aggravates this situation.
Once again, the US government in its unilateral, extraterritorial policy will remain isolated in the face of the unanimous claim of the international community that Cuba has the right to live without a blockade.
