World votes on blockade
UNITED NATIONS.— The global call will once again be
clearly heard, when the twenty-third UN General
Assembly vote is held today on the need to lift the
blockade imposed by the U.S. on Cuba.
Under the title: The need to put an end to the
United States’ economic, commercial and financial
blockade against Cuba, the document will be
submitted to a vote by more than 190 of the
organization’s member states.
The vote is once again expected to favor ending the
blockade, as it has on pervious occasions, such as
in 2013, when 188 of 193 members voted to end the
unjust, genocidal, criminal and immoral policy.
The rejection of the U.S. blockade of Cuba will
generate an unusual consensus between southern and
northern nations, united in the demand to put an end
to the unilateral sanctions imposed on Cuba for more
than half a century. |
