On October 27th and 28th, Cuba will once again present a draft resolution to the United Nations General Assembly against the economic, commercial and financial blockade. This now assumes a particularly urgent dimension following the U.S. imposition of an energy blockade which has had serious consequences for the lives of the Cuban people.
We, Cuba Support Group Ireland, issue this statement ahead of the presentation of Cuba’s customary resolution at the UN General Assembly on October 27–28, 2026.
We note that the damages inflicted on Cuba by the U.S. blockade from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, reached a record USD 8,083,300,000. We condemn the unprecedented tightening of the blockade and the multidimensional aggression aimed at suffocating and isolating Cuba, with devastating humanitarian consequences for the Cuban people.
