The United Nations General Assembly passed its annual resolution on Wednesday urging the United States to eliminate economic, commercial, and financial restrictions, according to Sputnik.

The resolution titled "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba" was supported by 187 countries. The United States and "Israel" voted against, with Moldova abstaining.

Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution on a yearly basis to demand an end to unilateral US restrictions on Cuba, with the document having the support of a majority of UN member states.

Unlike the resolutions of the UN Security Council, those adopted by the UN General Assembly are nonbinding.

Cuba urges US to remove it from list of 'state sponsors of terrorism'

Back in May, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel called the United States to remove it from the "list of state sponsors of terrorism" following Washington's decision to remove the Caribbean country from the short list of countries deemed "not cooperating fully" on counterterrorism.

"By confirming what is already widely known, that Cuba cooperates in the battle against terrorism, the United States should do what is correct and consistent – to remove Cuba from the State Department's arbitrary list and end the coercive economic measures that accompany it," Diaz-Canel said on X.

The United States had dropped its claims that Cuba is not cooperating on terrorism. In a report to Congress, Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Syria, and Venezuela – were "not cooperating fully" on counterterrorism.

"Moreover, the United States and Cuba resumed law enforcement cooperation in 2023, including on counterterrorism," a State Department spokesperson said.

"Therefore, the Department determined that Cuba's continued certification as a 'not fully cooperating country' was no longer appropriate."
