The overwhelming majority of UN member States will maintain their support to the resolution. The international community is aware of the criminal nature of the blockade. It is aware of the cruel and sustained tightening of the blockade this year. It knows about the implementation of secondary sanctions and the use of intimidation to prevent governments and business people from any part of the world from trading or having relations with Cuba. The international community understands the impact of the energy blockade and the harm it causes to the people and the economy. It rejects, on political and moral grounds, any attempt to suffocate an entire people by hunger, misery and desperation. Almost all societies condemn the collective punishment and the genocidal attempts to provoke a humanitarian crisis. The humanitarian impact of this economic warfare has been widely reported, even in the US. #CubaIsNotAThreat, The Blockade Is.
