LIKE many on November 3, I looked on appalled but unsurprised as the US once again opposed the UN General Assembly’s resolution condemning the blockade on Cuba. While it is encouraging that 185 countries voted in favour of the resolution, this now marks the 30th time that the UN has rebuked this decades-long policy to no avail.
Of course, the US and Israel voted against it, while Brazil and Ukraine abstained. It should be stated outright that this is shameful and there is no justification for the US’s brazen abuse.
The US first imposed the blockade in 1960 following the revolution and the rebel army’s seizure of power from the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Ever since, Cuba has flouted supposed economic and social rules and defied expectations.
