The U.S. and Israel were the only nations voting against the resolution that demanded ending the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba.
India, along with 183 countries voted in favour of a General Assembly resolution that demanded ending the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba, with New Delhi underlining that the continued existence of this embargo undermines multilateralism and the credibility of the UN itself. The U.S. and Israel were the only nations voting against the resolution, which has been overwhelmingly approved by the international community every year since 1992 when the General Assembly began voting on the issue each year. The resolution, approved for the 29th year in a row on Wednesday, demands ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba. Last year, the resolution was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.More Related News
