UN Majority Demands End To Cuba Embargo Despite Defections Arabian Post


Date:

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to demand an end to the United States embargo on Cuba, although support for the annual resolution fell sharply following a diplomatic campaign by Washington.

The resolution passed with 130 countries voting in favour, 17 against and 25 abstaining. That compared with 165 votes in favour, seven against and 12 abstentions in 2025, marking a substantial shift in the international response to American sanctions.

Germany and Italy were among countries that abstained after supporting the measure for years. The United States and Israel voted against it, alongside Ukraine, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates. The result nevertheless preserved a clear majority demanding that Washington end its economic, commercial and financial restrictions.
