The United Nations General Assembly voted for the 34th consecutive year to condemn the U.S. economic embargo of Cuba, according to the information provided. The tally was 130 nations in favor of condemnation, 17 against and 25 abstaining.
The summary also says the United States reportedly influenced some countries to change their stance. It does not identify those countries or describe how the reported influence occurred. It also does not specify whether any countries changed their position before the vote or provide details of their earlier and final positions.
The vote’s result and its 34-year sequence are the central details available. The information provided does not include the date of the vote, the names of countries in each voting group, statements from governments or representatives, or the text of any resolution associated with the vote. It also does not describe the practical effects of the General Assembly’s condemnation.
The available figures distinguish among support for condemnation, opposition and abstention. They do not, by themselves, explain the reasons individual nations took those positions. No further breakdown of the vote or account of debate surrounding it was provided.
Accordingly, the reported outcome establishes that the General Assembly again voted to condemn the U.S. economic embargo of Cuba, with 130 nations supporting condemnation. The information supplied does not establish what actions, if any, followed the vote or whether the reported efforts to influence countries changed the final tally.
