Lift the blockade

ON TUESDAY, Nov 12, the UN voted for the eleventh consecutive time to oppose the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba.

This year a record 173 countries (including Ireland and Britain) voted against the blockade, with only the US, Israel and the Marshall Islands supporting its continuation.

The illegal, unjust, immoral and irrational blockade by the US creates great hardship for the Cuban people and must be lifted. The US must respond to the democratic will of the UN.
