UN Votes for Lifting of US Embargo on Cuba
The UN, for the 18th straight years, has voted against the continued embargo of the United States on the communist island of Cuba.
The UN general assembly has voted 187 to 2 against the embargo’s implementation, urging the Obama administration to finally end the hostilities against the Castro-led government.
The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday has overwhelmingly voted against the economic embargo being imposed by the United States of America on Cuba, urging the American government to finally put a stop to the imposed isolation on the communist island.
For the past 47 years, the US has limited, if not totally banned, economic ties with Cuba following the missile crisis during the height of the cold war.
But despite the overwhelming vote of 187-3-2, the UN Assembly only passes a nonbinding resolution against the embargo on Cuba. It was the 18th year that the US government has been told by the UN to finally end the conflict.
It will be recalled that US President Barack Obama admitted that they are taking the necessary steps to discuss terms with Cuba regarding the hostilities between the two countries. However, the White House has not issued any statements regarding the lifting of the trade embargo on the communist led island.
“The economic blockade being imposed by the US in the past 47 years has not or will not meet its purpose, which is to bend the patriotic determination of the Cubans. It has only generated restrictions on our potential for development and has seriously damaged our economy,” Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in his speech.
Obama had earlier told that the Cuban government should first improve human rights and free political detainees before they can lift the embargo.
