For the 32nd consecutive year, the entire world voted at the UN General Assembly to demand an end to the illegal US embargo against Cuba.
The United States and Israel opposed the international community in a vote of 187 to 2, on the resolution titled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.
Just one country abstained: Moldova, a former Soviet republic that now has a pro-Western government that is seeking to join the European Union and NATO.
Venezuela expressed strong support for the resolution, but is unable to vote. Venezuela lost its voting rights because it cannot pay UN membership fees, due to illegal US unilateral sanctions against it, and because Washington and numerous European countries stole Caracas’ foreign exchange reserves.
Afghanistan is not able to vote in the General Assembly either, due to unpaid UN fees. Like Venezuela, Afghanistan suffers from unilateral US sanctions, and Washington unlawfully seized billions of dollars from its reserves.
