> Islands
>
> United Nations (PL).�The UN General Assembly voted by
> an overwhelming majority this November 4 to end the
> economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed on
> Cuba by the United States.
>
> A resolution adopted here in that respect obtained the
> record total of 179 votes in favor, just the United
> States, Israel and the Marshall Islands against, and
> only two abstentions.
>
> The vote recalls declarations made by the heads of
> state and government at Ibero-American Summits in
> relation to the need to eliminate the unilateral
> application of measures of an economic and commercial
> nature affecting the unfettered development of
> international trade.
>
> It also expresses concern at the continued
> promulgation and application of laws and regulations
> such as the U.S. Helm-Burton Act that affect the
> sovereignty of other states, the legitimate interests
> of entities and persons under their jurisdiction, and
> freedom of trade and navigation.
>
> In consequence it reiterates its exhortation on all
> states to abstain from undertaking actions of this
> kind, and urges the most rapid repeal or annulment
> possible of those in existence.
>
> The UN secretary general is asked to prepare a report
> on the present resolution "in the light of the aims
> and principles of the organization�s Charter and
> international law for presentation to the General
> Assembly in its next period of sessions."
>
> In that way the issue remains on the program of

> EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR THE CUBAN RESOLUTION
>
> Cuba received the express support of important groups
> of countries for its demand for an end to the
> blockade.
>
> When the General Assembly session on the issue was
> opened, the Mexican representative was the first to
> speak in favor of the anti-blockade resolution.
>
> In succession so did Morocco, on behalf of the Group
> of 77 plus China; Jamaica, for the Caribbean Community
> (CARICOM); and Malaysia, which presides over the
> Non-Aligned Movement.
>
> Each of them firmly expressed their opposition to the
> prolonged policy of harassment in violation of the UN
> Charter, international law and freedom of trade and
> navigation.
>
> Viet Nam referred to interference in the sovereignty
> of states and the non-justification of a blockade that
> has been unable to force Cubans to give up their
> efforts to construct a more just society.
>
> After Foreign Minister Felipe P�rez Roque�s speech,
> received with an ovation, representatives from other
> countries added their words of support to the
> resolution presented by Cuba.
>
> The first to do so was the Namibian representative,
> who maintained that the application of that policy of
> hostility constitutes an obstacle to the millennium
> development goals.
>
> South Africa lamented that the issue had to be
> discussed yet again, despite reiterated calls from the
> international community to the United States and
> stated that it was no surprise that the overwhelming
> majority continues to support the resolution under
> debate.
>
> For his part the Tanzanian speaker spoke of the
> violations to freedom of trade and how this has
> worsened with the Torricelli and Helms-Burton Acts,
> which have caused fresh damage to the Cuban economy
> and that of third countries.
>
> Venezuela shared the general condemnation of the U.S.
> measures, which constitute a flagrant violation of
> Cubans� human rights. It called on the General
> Assembly to adopt measures to repeal legislation such
> as the Torricelli and Helms-Burton Acts.
>
> Sudan reiterated the right of nations to their
> self-determination and urged a rejection of any
> attempt to impose unilateral decisions against states.
>
> Iran called on the international community to demand
> an end to the blockade and to prevent the utilization
> of food and medicine as instruments of political
> pressure.
>
> Guinea noted how the continuity of the proposal in the
> UN symbolizes cohesive world opposition to the U.S.
> hostile measures against Cuba.
>
> The representatives of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Myanmar,
> Syria, Indonesia and Laos spoke in similar terms.
>
> Given the number of countries that had asked to speak
> and the length of the debate, the president of the
> General Assembly decided to move to an immediate vote
> on the resolution.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
