The Associated Press is reporting that the UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn the US continued economic embargo on Cuba for a 32nd year.
Wednesday’s vote in the 193-member world body was 187-2, with only the United States and Israel against the resolution. There was one abstention.
It tied the record for support for the Caribbean nation first reached in 2019 and again last year.
General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding.
But they reflect world opinion, and the vote has given Cuba an annual stage to demonstrate that the US stands apart in its decades-old efforts to isolate the Caribbean nation.
