U.N. ASSEMBLY CONDEMNS U.S. EMBARGO OF CUBA
UNITED NATIONS, NY & HAVANA, CUBA | 1 NOV 2018

The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelming approved a resolution condemning the American economic embargo of Cuba after rejecting proposed U.S. amendments strongly criticizing the lack of human rights in the island country.

Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla called the U.S. embargo "a flagrant, massive and systematic violation of the human rights of Cuban men and women."

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said after the votes that the Cuban people "have once again been left to the brutal winds of the Castro regime."
