For the 17th time the United Nations General Assembly will vote on Wednesday, October 29, on a resolution presented by Cuba that calls for an end to the nearly half century US blockade against the Caribbean nation.
The resolution, which is entitled ‘Necessity to End the Economic, Trade and Financial Blockade Imposed by the United States against Cuba’ and circulating at the General Assembly since last week, is scheduled to be voted on during a plenary session of the international body.
Last year, 184 nations supported the resolution, four opposed and one abstained.
On Thursday, the General Assembly will sponsor an interactive panel on the international financial crisis to find solutions to the complicated and dangerous situation.
The UN Security Council will review reports from the UN mission in Côte d’Ivoire and from the International Court of Justice. It will also hold an open debate on women, peace and security.
