On October 29, 2025, the United Nations General Assembly passed its annual resolution calling for an end to the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba, a measure in place since the early 1960s. The vote this year saw 165 countries in favor, 7 against, and 12 abstentions. The resolution, while non-binding, carries symbolic and political weight, reflecting global sentiment on the issue.
This year, the U.S. successfully persuaded five more countries — Argentina, Hungary, North Macedonia, Paraguay, and Ukraine — to vote against the measure, citing concerns over Cuba’s alignment with Russia, including allegations of Cuban fighters operating in Ukraine.
What’s the point of these resolutions? The Helms-Burton Act is clear and reasonable: Hold free fucking elections and the embargo will end.
When there is a veto power UN resolutions are just useless
US shouldn’t have voted to reflect how inconsequential it is
should’ve never given them back Sokolov
How would they propose enforcing the ruling in a hypothetical scenario where the US and other no votes instead abstained?
And the UN vote to condemn all of Cuba’s human rights abuses is…?
If they genuinely cared about regular Cubans, they’d follow that up with a call for free elections and the rule of law. But they didn’t. This isn’t about protecting Cubans. It’s about going after the US.
The UN sees Cubans as nothing more than a proxy to criticise the US, quality of life of the Cuban people be damned.
Ukraine, Argentina and Israel doing whatever necessary to appease Dear Leader
If Cuba gives back stolen US assets, or do they get to keep them for free? Would the UN reimburse the US?
The U.S. can do what it wants. Embargos are within the full rights of a nation as dictated per international law. The U.S. isn’t blockading Cuba.
This is an attempt to compromise American sovereignty over its national rights.
Support the embargo or not, the UN has no say, morally or legally, in wether it should go on.

What people do not realize is that the US IS the UN. The US pays the most money, the UN is headquartered in the US, and the US can veto any and all resolutions. F*** Cuba and their murderous regime!
Interested in the particular politics at pay here that got North Macedonia specifically (as opposed to any other Atlanticist government in the Balkans) to vote against.
United nations can virtue signal all they want the US has every right to continue the embargo
Why should the US be forced to trade with Cuba? Other nations can if they want.
Can someone explain why the embargo is still even going on? Is this really over an alliance with a nation that no longer exists, created by a leader who is long since dead?
What an odd position for Ukraine of all nations to hold.
How can the U.N. tell a country with who to trade? Next, will the U.N tell Iran they must trade with Israel ? Just another example of why countries don’t want to give the UNGA any real power.
If Cuba needs trade with the US to function, that socialism ain’t working. At least the USSR had the decency to function on it’s own pre WW2.
Even if this passed, is the UN going to force the US to trade with Cuba? This makes no sense.
What the hell is the UN doing even voting on US trade policy in the first place? If the US was actually invading Cuba I could understand the resolution. It would still be toothless but I would at least understand it. But trade? Is the UN going to monitor America’s trade policy with Mexico next? India?
…it is a US policy. It’s a stupid policy, granted, but not the UN’s bailiwick.
Every country should have abstained or voted with the US
If the US does not want to trade with Cuba not my business, and if they do, then it’s the people of the US to vote and express this.
It’s none of the UN’s business to determine a country’s trade policy. Cuba and the USA have had very hostile relations for several decades now, and since a strong Cuba is an enormous threat to American national security, it is in their best interest to keep it weakened.
The embargo is not violent, it is not a blockade. The US is simply telling the world that they either do business with them or with Cuba.
Maybe the situation could improve once Cuba gets rid of their, your know… Rabidly pro-Russian, pro-Venezuelan Communist dictatorship???
That time of year? Lol.
