UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY · 2025-10-29
Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba
A/RES/80/4 · Adopted 29 October 2025
Call for an end to the US trade and financial embargo on Cuba.
An embargo restricts trade and financial dealings with a country. This motion calls for the US restrictions on Cuba to be lifted. The General Assembly vote expresses a position; it does not itself remove those restrictions. The full UN vote was 165 for, 7 against and 12 abstentions. Your board shows eight selected countries. A vote alone does not explain a country’s motives.
