00:00And the UN General Assembly, in other topics, at its 27th plenary session approved by a
00:05majority vote, a resolution calling on the United States for the 34th time to end the
00:10economic blockade imposed on Cuba for more than six decades.
00:15The vote shows that Cuba continues to receive majority support from the international community
00:21in its struggle against the U.S. imposed blockade.
00:25A continuación, el resultado de la votación.
00:27The vote results are as follows, 113 in favor, 17 against, and 25 abstentions.
00:35Draft Resolution A81-LF5 is adopted.
00:42During his speech and prior to receiving majority support, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez
00:49set the record straight with data revealing the reality of the U.S. blockade, its impact
00:55due to collective punishment and its wave of maximum pressure.
01:02The United States government has unleashed a wave of pressure, intimidation, and blackmail
01:08against many member states with the coercive, illegal, immoral, and unjustified demand that
01:14they change their traditional position and adopt a stance contrary to the one they have.
01:19In a well-founded and consistent manner, they have maintained for decades as a sovereign act.
01:29The head of Cuban diplomacy reaffirmed the Cuban people's resolve in defending their independence
01:36and sovereignty.
01:46For Cuba, there is no dilemma.
01:48Under the leadership of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, we will continue to defend our independence
01:53and national sovereignty and to reject the ambitions of conquest and domination by an imperialist power.
02:04We will do so because these are inalienable rights and irrevocable obligations of Cuba and
02:09the Cuban nation.
02:10We are protected by international law and the UN Charter.
02:24Mexico defended its position condemning the U.S. blockade against the Cuban people.
02:39Mexico defends its historically inconsistent position of condemning the economic embargo against
02:45the people of Cuba, which has been in place for more than six decades, arguing that it is
02:50not contrary to international law and is consistent with the principles of the United Nations Charter.
03:04The economic blockade constitutes a structural obstacle to Cuba's economic and social development,
03:10with direct consequences for the well-being of its population, including shortages of food
03:16and medicines and limited access to basic services, liquidity problems in the banking system
03:21system and the energy crisis, all of which demonstrate that its effects extend beyond the economic
03:28sphere and impact the daily lives of millions of people.
03:41India, as an emerging power, denounced the blockade against Cuba, which has exacerbated the crisis in
03:48health care, energy and education.
03:51Mr. President, according to the report by the Secretary General of the Cuban health system, there is
04:03a 60 percent shortfall in essential medicines.
04:06Food production has declined by more than 50 percent over the last five years.
04:10Fuel restrictions have also exacerbated the ongoing energy crisis in that country.
04:16These shortages have disrupted essential services in health care, education, water supply, food
04:21distribution and transportation.
04:24Mr. President, India's commitment to the Mutalamo is rooted in our firm belief that international
04:29challenges are best addressed, above all through dialogue and diplomacy,
04:33according to the United States.
04:40India, as an emerging power, denounced the blockade against Cuba, which has exacerbated the crisis
04:46in health care.
04:55We support the immediate and complete lifting of the trade blockade imposed on Cuba by the
05:00United States.
05:01This includes the measures with extraterritorial effect that have been in place for more than
05:06three decades.
05:08This General Assembly has called for an end to the embargo, but the policy has been in place for more
05:14than six decades.
05:16Since its imposition, restrictions have exacerbated the difficulties faced by the Cuban people.
05:22We are particularly concerned about the restrictions affecting energy.
05:25The fuel shortage and the impact on energy supplies are serious.
05:29But hospitals, schools in the hybrid system and food transportation are also preventing vital financial assistance.
05:38We are also concerned about the extraterritorial consequences of the embargo, which undermines legitimate commercial and financial relations between Cuba
05:47and other states,
05:48and also raises concerns regarding sovereign equality, non-interference and freedom of trade and navigation at the international level.
05:57Mr. President, we continue to call for respect for Cuba's sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence,
06:04and right to self-determination and its determination to choose its own path free from external control or coercion.
06:19There were two days of debate during which numerous delegations denounced the consequences of U.S. sand sanctions for the
06:27Cuban population and the extraterritorial nature of those sanctions.
06:31And despite diplomatic pressure and blackmail, 120 member states voted alongside Cuba in this condemnation, which it has made every
06:40year since 1992.
