Overview

  • The General Assembly adopted the resolution with 165 votes in favor, seven against and 12 abstentions.
  • The United States, Argentina, Hungary, Israel, Paraguay, North Macedonia and Ukraine voted against the measure.
  • The text asks the UN Secretary‑General to prepare a report on how the resolution is being implemented.
  • This is the 33rd such call by the General Assembly since 1992 to end the U.S. economic, commercial and financial restrictions on Cuba.
