At the UN General Assembly, Antigua and Barbuda joined their 13 CARICOM counterparts in a united front, throwing their support behind a resolution that demands an end to the enduring economic and trade embargo imposed by the United States on Cuba since 1960. ๐โ
This powerful resolution, titled ‘necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba,’ secured overwhelming backing, with 187 nations casting their votes in favor, underscoring the global consensus to bring an end to this protracted embargo. The dissenting voices of only the US and Israel, coupled with Ukraine’s choice to abstain, highlighted the complex diplomatic landscape surrounding this issue.
Despite a series of resolutions passed by the General Assembly since 1992, the embargo persists, causing grave concerns about its adverse impact on the Cuban people and Cuban nationals residing in various parts of the world. The humanitarian implications and the call for justice continue to resonate on the international stage.
Once again, the General Assembly steadfastly called upon all nations to uphold their commitments under the UN Charter and international law, urging them to desist from enacting and enforcing such restrictive laws and measures. This unified stance underscores an unwavering commitment to justice, sovereignty, and the collective well-being of nations worldwide. ๐๐ค #UNGA #CubaEmbargo
