Ending the sanctions on Cuba
The governments of the world overwhelmingly support overturning these cruel and utterly unjustifiable measures — but the US still gets its way, reports TARIQ ANDERSON

LATER this week, on November 1-2, the UN general assembly will once again discuss and vote on Resolution 77/7 on the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.”

Last year’s vote saw 185 nations vote to end this cruel policy (with just the US and Israel voting against it) demonstrating the breadth and depth of international feeling on the issue.

The nations of the world are expected, yet again, to overwhelmingly support Cuba’s resolution and call for an end to a blockade that has caused untold damage to the Cuban economy and the Cuban people.
