The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Wednesday by majority to end the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America on Cuba. With a resounding majority, one 187 countries voted in favor of the resolution, a clear sign of global unity. The United States and the occupying Israeli entity stood in opposition, while Moldova chose to abstain from voting. The General Assembly's resolution, issued today, is the latest in a series of 31 resolutions on the same issue. These resolutions, issued almost annually since 1992, reflect the enduring international concern over the US blockade on Cuba. The General Assembly expressed deep concern over the continued issuance and application by member states of laws and regulations that affect the sovereignty of other states, the legitimate interests of entities or persons subject to their jurisdiction, and the freedom of trade and navigation. The General Assembly reiterated its call on all states to refrain from issuing and app lying laws and measures of the type referred to in the introduction to the resolution by their obligations under the UN Charter and international law, which reaffirmed several matters, including the freedom of trade and navigation. The General Assembly's resolution once again urges States that have enacted and continue to apply such laws and measures to take the necessary steps to repeal or invalidate them as soon as possible through their legal system.
