The US embargo against Cuba have got a new move in a historical voting in United Nations, 187 countries  were in favor of a Resolution, overcoming the record of votes in  2008. 
 
United States, Israel and Palau were the only three countries voting against the resolution that demands to put an end to the blockade. Marshall Islands and Micronesia abstained. 
 
Cuba reiterated today at UN that the US blockade against the island remains intact under the Obama administration and it constitutes a massive, flagrant and systematic violation of the human rights. 
 
 
Speaking to the UN General Assembly, Cuban Chancellor, Bruno Rodríguez, declared that the  North American blockade is a superb act and ignoramus and he pointed out that the representatives from Washington lie when they affirm that it is a bilateral matter. 
 
In this respect he explained that the extraterritorial application of the laws of the blockade, as the Helms-Burton and Torricelli Acts, also affects to other states members of the UN and it aimed that 56 countries have suffered measures in the last period. 
 
Those prohibitions, inhuman and inappropriate of this time, are not applied to Cuba, and he gave  gave numerous examples on the impact on the Cuban population, especially the childhood, as regards medicine, health, telecommunications, Internet, feeding, culture and sciences, among others. 
 

According to recent surveys, 76 percent of the North American citizens are opposed to the blockade and they believe that it is antidemocrat. 
 
President Obama has the historical opportunity to lead politics's change toward Cuba and the elimination of the blockade, using his executive abilities.
 

Cuban President, Raúl Castro Ruz,  has reiterated their disposition to dialogue on all the matters and to negotiate all the bilateral problem with the United States, according to respect and sovereign equality and without prejudice for  independence and self-determination.

 
On the resolution presented to the General Assembly, the Cuban Minister aimed that to support her is an act against the aggression and the use of the force. It is an act in favor of the peace, the right and the hope.
