UN General Assembly rebukes US embargo on Cuba

Resolution condemning embargo on Cuba passes 185-2, marking the 30th time the UN has rebuked the decades-old US policy.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has delivered a strong rebuke of the United States embargo on Cuba, which Havana has demanded be lifted amid an economic crisis on the Caribbean island.

Overwhelmingly, 185 countries on Thursday voted in favour of a non-binding resolution condemning the embargo. With the US and Israel voting against it and Brazil and Ukraine abstaining.

It was the 30th time the UN has voted to condemn the US policy, which has been in place for decades.

“The United States opposes this resolution, but we stand with the Cuban people and will continue to seek ways to provide meaningful support to them,” US Political Coordinator, John Kelley, told the UNGA on Thursday.

“If the United States government was really interested in the welfare, human rights and self-determination of Cubans, it could lift the blockade,” countered Yuri Gala, Cuba’s deputy representative at the UN.

Following the Cuban Missile Crisis (October 1962), Kennedy imposed travel restrictions on February 8, 1963, and the Cuban Assets Control Regulations were issued on July 8, 1963, again under the Trading with the Enemy Act in response to Cubans hosting Soviet nuclear weapons.

What is the current relationship between the US and Cuba?

U.S. diplomatic representation in Cuba is handled by the United States Embassy in Havana, and there is a similar Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. The United States, however, continues to maintain its commercial, economic, and financial embargo, making it illegal for U.S. corporations to do business with Cuba.
Things were looking good under President Obama, the election of Donald Trump to the oval office changed all that.
We live in hope.
