UNGA Adopts Resolution Calling for End to US Blockade Against Cuba

The United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution A/RES/81/7 on October 28, 2026, calling for the end of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade unilaterally imposed by the United States against Cuba. The United States, under the Trump regime, escalated pressure on Cuba through a total fuel blockade and by broadening sanctions against Cuban officials and state enterprises. This blockade has severely affected Cuba's health system, causing delayed surgeries and doubling the infant mortality rate, and has led to severe starvation and increased deaths.

The UNGA resolution, despite being non-binding, demonstrates global opposition to the U.S. policy against Cuba. The ongoing economic strangulation caused by the embargo has intensified suffering in Cuba, leading to worsening economic conditions and severe shortages.
