Its end has been a long time coming. The vote in favor of the Cuban resolution, which advocates for justice, multilateralism, and the right of all peoples to self-determination and development, was reflected in the political organization in agreement with the Cuban mission in India, concurrently accredited to Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan.

A Cuban resolution calling for an end to the US blockade will be debated and voted on for the 33rd time in the United Nations General Assembly on October 28-29.

As on other occasions, the Caribbean nation has achieved majority support for its demand for justice.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez denounced, at a recent press briefing in Havana, pressures and blackmail from Washington to try to get the international community to vote against the island’s resolution.

According to updated data, the US blockade has caused 7.556 billion dollars in damages in the last year, representing a 49 percent increase compared to the previous period.
