The two against and one abstention is very telling…
What is the point of these? Seriously, I’m not trying to be dick; I don’t see the point in holding these if the embargo stays.
US, Israel, Ukraine, the actual axis of evil.

- Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its seventy-ninth session the item entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.
Cuba has been submitting the same document year after year since 1992.

And it has won the vote every single time.

For which consecutive year has the UN overwhelmingly voted against the US embargo on Cuba now? 23rd?
Plurality since the first one (1992), Majority since 1994, 90% since 2002, according to this:

This happens every year and yet nothing is done about it. That veto power is amazing
This is the GA, no veto power there. It’s just the entire UN going “this is against the UN charter, other resolutions of the UN, etc.” and the U.S. going “ok”

Yeah I went back to read it, no veto. So that just confuses me more because what’s stopping the “international community” from enforcing anything to stop this damned embargo?
Every country in the world except two voted Yes. Final result: No.
Truly democtatic.
