For the 17th consecutive time, the policy of blockade, imposed by U.S. administrations on its small neighbor, was defeated at the United Nations General Assembly.
An overwhelming vote of 185 countries against the blockade, three in favor (U.S., Israel and Palau; and two abstentions (Marshall Islands and Micronesia), witnessed how alone U.S. policy towards Cuba stands.
Although the decisions by the General Assembly are not mandatory they do reflect the positions of the international community, in this case on the blockade of the island that soon will reach its 50th anniversary.
