The United Nations General Assembly has again called for an end to the United States economic embargo against Cuba. But Washington ignored the demand, insisting the sanctions are a bilateral issue.
Cuba"s National Assembly president opened the debate at the United Nations by announcing Havana"s new legal campaign against the US embargo. Ricardo Allorcon said his country will Erie a US $ 100 billion law suit against Washington. The case seeks compensation for the enormous suffering inflicted by the 37-year-old economic blockade on the Cuban people. After the debate, the UN General Assembly voted 155 to 2 to demand an end to the sanctions for the eighth straight year. Only the US and Israel opposed the resolution. Washington"s key allies, Japan, Canada and the European Union supported the calls for the lifting of the blockade. Washington has ignored the non-binding UN resolutions, insisting its embargo is a bilateral trade policy towards Cuba.
