Why Does the U.S. Continue to Violate the U.N. Resolution to End Cuban Embargo?
According to the United Nations' on November 8, 2006,
for the 15th year in a row, the United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly called on the United States to end its commercial, economic and financial embargoes against Cuba that began more than 46 years ago.Why does the United States continue to violate the U.N. resolution? What is the purpose of the Cuban embargo? Is Fidel Castro a threat to the United States? Is he a target of our "war on terror"?The resolution, adopted yesterday by 183 votes in favour to 4 against (Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau, US) and 1 abstention (Federated States of Micronesia), reiterated the Assembly’s call to all States to refrain from promulgating and applying laws and measures not conforming with their obligations to reaffirm freedom of trade and navigation.
It is time to comply with the U.N. resolution. Why are we in contempt?
