U.N. Rejects American Attempt to Condemn Cuba’s Human Rights Abuses
< >
The United Nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn America’s economic embargo on Cuba on Thursday while rejecting proposed amendments strongly criticizing the country’s dire human rights record.
Cuba is currently a member of the U.N. Human Rights Council.
Only the U.S. and Israel voted against the Cuban-sponsored resolution, which sought to condemn the U.S.’s trade embargo on the island in place since the rise of Fidel Castro in 1960. Out of the 193-member body, the final result was 189-2 with no abstentions, as Moldova and Ukraine were unable to vote.
