  1. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its seventy-ninth session the item entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

Cuba has been submitting the same document year after year since 1992.

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?

People on Twitter are pissed when someone mentions Ukraine’s abstention: “they’re a bit busy right now!” As if other countries aren’t dealing with violent conflicts.

You’re right but that’s the “argument” I keep seeing from people. I don’t understand it all.
