The Prime Minister of Belize, Hon. John Briceño, did reference to the illegal blockade of the US against Cuba at the 76 UNGA.

“Mr. President,

The persistent call of the General Assembly over three decades to end the illegal embargo against the Cuban people has been ignored.

The Cuban people are forced to carve out their sustainable development under the burden of the illegal, unilateral economic, commercial and financial embargo.

The new measures imposed by the past US administration and now continued and widened by the present one during a pandemic are unbelievably cruel and inhumane.

These measures bring suffering to millions of innocent people and do not reflect the good will of the people of the United States of America.

Nevertheless, Cuba has made significant sacrifices to help other peoples of the world, including Belizeans".
