Another Overwhelming Victory for Cuba!
Today, November 3, 2022, the United Nations for the 30th time by a vote of 185 to 2 (the United States and Israel) and with 2 abstentions (Brazil, and Ukraine) overwhelmingly condemned Washington's more than six-decade long economic war against Cuba. The international community once again emphatically rejected U.S. attempts to impose its imperial will on Cuba and the rest of the world.
It is the repudiation of Washington’s unilateral commercial, economic, and financial blockade of Cuba: an economic siege that was intensified during the Trump regime and has been adhered to and escalated under the presidency of Joseph Biden. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez underscored that the Biden regime “has escalated the siege around our country, taking it to an even crueler and more humane dimension, with the purpose of deliberately inflicting the biggest possible damage on Cuban families.”
Representing another massive rebuff by the international community of Washington's efforts to asphyxiate the heroic people of Cuba, the vote demonstrates the unflinching opposition of the world to the criminal U.S. policy, but also the depth of global support and respect for Cuba.
This is not only a resounding victory for Cuba but also a victory for all those who struggle to defend the inalienable and inviolable right of all peoples to self-determination and independence.
The struggle continues to finally bring an end to the U.S. economic war against Cuba, which is a flagrant violation of international law, constituting the principal obstacle to the island's social and economic development. In this struggle, the nations, and the peoples of the world, representing the immense majority of humanity, have declared in one voice that they stand with Cuba.
END THE U.S. BLOCKADE OF CUBA!
