For 28th consecutive year, Cuba prepares to indict US blockade at United Nations
The ongoing embargo typifies the US government’s disregard of world opinion, says WT WHITNEY JNR

ON November 7, for the 28th consecutive year, Cuba will be asking the United Nations general assembly to approve a resolution calling for an end to the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the country. 

Every year, in preparation for this vote, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry delivers a comprehensive report to the various national delegations represented in the assembly. It updates them on adverse effects of the blockade, especially new ones.

Speaking to reporters on September 20, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez released Cuba’s report on the blockade for 2019.
