Havana, October 30 (RHC)-- The draft resolution on the Need to end the Economic, Commercial and Financial Blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba will be voted on today by the United Nations General Assembly.
The international community will surely witness the almost unanimous condemnation of this silent genocide by an empire that seeks to subdue those who live on the Island.
The immoral blockade and the inclusion in the spurious list of States sponsoring terrorism have caused losses for Cuba, between March 2023 and February 2024 alone, of more than 5 billion dollars.
On the previous day, 31 nations spoke out in favor of lifting this unjust policy. Mexico's representative to the UN, Héctor Vasconcelos, said that it is time to open a new chapter and allow Cuba to participate fully in the global community, "without the restrictions imposed by this unjust and inhuman blockade."
Today the world will witness how, once again, the current government in the White House cares little or nothing about what is decided by the General Assembly, since it could and still can use its prerogatives to at least suspend the 243 measures that its predecessor, Donald Trump, adopted a few days before leaving the presidential premises, and, above all, abolish the cynical action of including Cuba among the countries that sponsor terrorism.
The international community has the word, and one day it will have to be taken into account. (Source: Granma)
