For which consecutive year has the UN overwhelmingly voted against the US embargo on Cuba now? 23rd?

Plurality since the first one (1992), Majority since 1994, 90% since 2002, according to this:

This happens every year and yet nothing is done about it. That veto power is amazing

This is the GA, no veto power there. It’s just the entire UN going “this is against the UN charter, other resolutions of the UN, etc.” and the U.S. going “ok”

Yeah I went back to read it, no veto. So that just confuses me more because what’s stopping the “international community” from enforcing anything to stop this damned embargo?
