CUBA, November 1st, 2017.- The Cuban resolution ¨Necessity of putting an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba¨ was widely supported in the United Nations this Wednesday, obtaining 191 votes in favor, 2 against (USA and Israel) and 0 abstentions.
The international community represented in the framework of the 72 session of the United Nations General Assembly strongly rejected the unjust and inhuman policy applied by the United States against Cuba for almost six decades.
New York, 31 October 2017. The blockade of the United States against Cuba was unilaterally imposed 55 years ago. More than 70 percent of the current Cuban population has been born and raised under the implementation of this policy, which hinders Cuba's economic development and constitutes a flagrant violation of the human rights of the Cuban people.
